Biblical Accuracy

This poll is for Christians who believe that the Bible is the perfect, inerrant, flawless Word of God upon which their faith is based. Each possible answer is followed by the book, chapter, and verse where it can be found in the Bible. Then, be sure to respond to the final question for your overall thoughts.

This is a challenge for faithful Christians to answer every single question, and remember that when you select a scripture as true, you admit that the other(s) must then be false.

Visit The Skeptic's Annotated Bible for more information on the accuracy of biblical scripture.
