a) You believe that the Bible is flawless; it is the word of God and contains no errors. Every event in the Bible happens as they are described. The Earth is only 6,000 years old. Those who do not believe that Jesus was the son of God will go to Hell.
b) You believe that the Bible does contain the word of God in it, but also has been influenced by man and many different generations. You believe that many things can not be taken directly as they are stated in the Bible, as they are metaphorical. You may or may not believe that all non-Christians will be sent to Hell.
c) You believe that Jesus is the son of God, and that many of his teachings were as the Bible states, but it can not be used as a guide to Christianity or be expected to represent Jesus or God. Trying to get closer to Jesus and living a pure life, striving to better yourself is all that is required of us in this life. Choosing another religion besides Christianity will not recieve eternal punishment in Hell.

A little of A, B, and C.
It is a mish-mash of those three.

Ok I am different, I am an original language Bible student
D. None of the above
here is why
The original texts have not been perverted themselves, only later translations have.
The Earth is billions of Years old, In Genesis it says God created the Heavens and the Earth, and in the Hebrew it means all at the same time. If you factor light traveling at the speed of light, from the farthest star we can see, it would take billions of years to get here. There is a huge span of time between Genesis 1:1 and Genesis 1:2.
Jesus is God in human flesh
I use the following scripture references:
"In the beginning was the word and the word was with God, and the word was God, and the word became flesh and dwelled among us."
"If you have seen me, you have seen the Father."
Stephen, when he was being stoned in the new testament cried out "Christ, my Lord and my God."
"I am the Alpha and the Omega, the beginning and the End." In Isaiah it says "Unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given, and His name shall be called many names: Everlasting Father, Mighty God."

I would say it is a cross between b) and c) in that:
The Bible does contain the Word of God in it, but it has also been influenced [as in altered and even maliciously corrupted] by man that I have discovered for myself. There are certain things that can only be taken as metaphorical.
I don't believe in the Trinitarian doctrine but I do concur that Yeshua ibn Yosuf is THE EXEMPLAR of The Law who is righteously the "Son of God" whom we can emulate and likewise strive to follow The Law ourselves in order to become the "Children of God."
I do consider Yeshua Messiah/JC [pbuh] as the Greatest Prophet and Teacher ABOVE ALL other Prophets mentioned in the Bible and Prophets of other religions, however I do not worship Him. I worship God alone...
Some of His sacred teachings can be found in the four Gospels of the Holy Bible, and the Sevenfold Teachings of the BROTHERHOOD OF ESSENES are found in the "Essene Gospel of Peace of Jesus the Christ".
[SIDEBAR: The rest of the New Testament in the Holy Bible, i.e., the Acts of Apostles and Epistles, predominantly feature Saul or Paul much more than ANY of the other Apostles; and contains "Pauline or Paulinian" doctrines, which differ from those taught by Yeshua Messiah/JC [pbuh] and whose teachings that I do not necessarily adhere to.]
It is only Peter who later recognizes the existence of the [Essene] Brotherhood in his letter which states "Honour all men. Love the brotherhood. Fear God. Honour the king..." --1Peter 2:17
I am not concerned which religion or 'path' anyone else pursues provided they strive to follow The Law in living a perfect and pure life.
As it is written,The Master said "Take my yoke [teachings] and LEARN OF ME... For my yoke is easy and my burden [worldly possessions] is light..."
He speaks quite succinctly of the Law of the Brotherhood which states that "None shall have wealth, and none shall be poor; and all shall work together in the gardens of the Brotherhood. Yet each shall follow HIS OWN PATH, and each shall commune with his own heart..." [Caps are mine.]
Peace be with you.

We in elementary words follow the Bible and doctrines taught. we do not provide position to issues that the Bible delivers no authority to. We learn diligently and although not each and anybody who is going there is sweet, maximum each and anybody has more advantageous Biblical understanding than the favored American 'Christian.' we do not base our beliefs on 3 or 4 issues on my own..we only follow the Bible. I grew up in a mess of denominations, and that i went and not using a lot of solutions, although i assumed fervently. when I got here upon this church, although, the Bible replaced into defined so logically. not some thing replaced into unanswered, each and everything harmonized and now, i am going to spot a denominational lie somewhat. you in elementary words comprehend once you discover the fact.

None of the above. I believe in Jesus the way I believe in Him not the way people wants me to believe the other way around.

B. That sums it up pretty well. I don't think that God sends anyone to Hell, they make the free choice to go there after they die. The church says "we have to believe in Hell, but we do not have to believe that anyone actually goes there".
I am an Episcopalian (AKA Anglican)
