The advocates of a Standard Sacred Text are held to a level of consistency unknown to the formulators of the Critical Text. The comparison is the difference between a document that claims to be from God, which is inherently absolute in its declarations—pure, infallible, inspired, preserved—and a document that is inherently relative based upon claims that are various measures of a subjective human enterprise. The first, to be consistent, is held to an absolute standard for truth, while the later, also to be consistent, is not a standard for anything.
