Loaves ~ could you explain the connection between the poll and the topic? Do you see the two choices as polar opposites on the question of the Word of God?
BTW, niether IS an option because I didn't vote for either.
But if you could force me to vote, I guess I'd go with Amish.
Is the Bible the Word of God??!!

Michelle: Thanx for your input. The folks that know me on this forum know that my polls usually have no connection with the topic. Sorry for the confusion!
When I said "Neither is not an option" I meant if you HAD to choose between the two, which congregation would you attend.
Amish and Catholics, ironically and from my research, believe very similarly about the Bible. They do not believe similarly about Jesus Christ (the Word of God). Which "word" were you referring to? Like, Bro. Paidion said, "word" has lots of meanings.
Agape,

Amish believe that the Bible is God’s written word. So do Catholics. So do the majority of us. The writers of the books of the Bible were inspired by the Holy Spirit when they wrote the books.

Now Jesus Christ. What do Amish believe? Amish believe that Jesus Christ is the "Word of God," not the bible. Jesus was born of a virgin. But this virgin (Mary) was a sinner, they believe. Salvation is by grace through faith, they believe, and we cannot earn our salvation.
Catholics believe Jesus was born of a sinless women. Catholics also believe you have to “add to” the work of Jesus and thus earn your salvation.
If you want more info, we are discussing Catholicism at this topic:
