You volunteered that you were a fundamentalist. I took that to mean you hold to the five fundamentals.
Perhaps you do. But, I have observed that, while you maintain that the Bible is inerrant, you often interpret it in terms of quasi-scientific speculation or metaphoric interpretation. So, maybe you consider Biblical literalism to be a stereotype of fundamentalism, whereas, I think of it as a defining characteristic.
Strictly speaking then , you don't meet my definition of
fundamentalist. Witness Lee departed from strict fundamentalism with his metaphorical interpretations. You have added scientific speculation to the mix.
I don't know why you consider yourself a fundamentalist. Personally I don't like labels, and I'm not going to adopt or maintain a position just to be included under one.
