NYP: Yes, it is. By the way, if you'd like to read more about the TNIV from all points of view, go to Google and type in the two words, TNIV criticism ..... The battle over the TNIV rages on. --Hank | ||||||

Hank: Wow,I went to the TNIV criticism! The best evaluation was one by Vern S. Poythress, Ph.D., Th.D. titled TNIV's Altered Meanings. In Dr. Poythress's evaluation he brings out clearly the serious changes the TNIV has made. There is a genuine effort to devalue being male, by elevating feminisn when there is no clear reason to show equivalent terms. The TNIV is not just on a slippery slope, in my opinion it's gone over the cliff. I can only imagine the reason for the publication of this gender netural version is for money. The NRSV did a better job of not being so offensive. I continue to be amazed that so many fail to see what I, a small little person in the scheme of history, see as being a poor biased version. Thank you Hank, for the enlightenment. Blessings. Justme |

Justme: Based on what I have learned about the TNIV and the documented evidence that Zondervan reneged on their promise not to produce such a translation as the TNIV is, I believe Zondervan should atone for its breach of promise by doing two things: issue and publish an open apology to the Christian community and cease all further printings of the TNIV. If they refuse, which thus far they have done, then I believe the Christian community should engage in a boycott of all Zondervan publications. I will not purchase any Zondervan publication myself. There are other publishers, and good ones, who could easily fill the gap if an all-out boycott forced Zondervan to shut down their presses and close their doors. What they have done is an outrage that should not be tolerated. --Hank | ||||||

Hank: I learned about a decade ago that durring World War Two the VW owners in Germany, used slave workers from the prisnor of war camps to make their VW auto's. for more than fourty years, they never even considered making any attempt to find those slave laborers and give them a token payment. Other companies who used such slave labor did seek and pay for their slave labor much ealier after the war. It was not until that the world court came after VW did they make any effort to trace and make even a token payment, and then only by force did they pay anything. Now the real bite, I bought at least eight VW's before I heard about this situation. Now, because I am aware of what VW did, I feel resentment for those who allowed VW to import the cars until that made efforts to make good on their past sins. I am wondering if this story from my past, really makes my point. Once aware that meat was used as sacrifice, in pagan worship, and we are aware of it, Pauls said not to eat it. However if we don't know then we are better not to ask, but to receive the food and bless the Lord for it. I must now consider what I personally will do to respond to the knowledge I have about Zondervan. I once worked for Zondervan, before Harper-Row bought Zondervan out. Therefore, it seems an even deeper wound for me. However there are other publishers who are now using the NIV, which I consider to be a worthy, dynamic equivlant translation. If nothing else this shows us that we need to pray that other Christian publishers stand firm, and do not let worldly publishers take over. At this point Zondervan might well have closed it's doors rather than sellout to Murdock, and his group. Thanks again Hank for some worthy imput. Blessings brother. justme |
