Makarios, I've said it before and I'll say it again: If IBS and the publishers don't honor their own word not to publish a gender-neutral Bible, how can we be sure they are honoring God's word in their translation of it? --Hank | ||||||
2 | Good-bye, NIV | 2 Tim 3:16 | wak | 33003 | ||
Regarding the "Promise": the International Bible Society states clearly that they are producing a gender accurate Bible, not a gender neutral Bible . I haven"t seen anything here to refute that. Regarding the big dollars: I assume IBS is non-profit and has the Best interest of the Bible (and ALL of its users) as their primary goal. |

wak, You can read it for yourself at http://www.cbmw.org/resources/articles/niv/pressrelease.html If you say that the TNIV is a "gender-accurate" Bible instead of a "gender-neutral" Bible, then you are not entirely being truthful, since The Council on Biblical Manhood and Womanhood lists 100 inaccuracies alone in the TNIV that largely have to do with gender-inclusive language! (http://www.cbmw.org/) Don't go here, just go there to see all of the inaccuracies. Also, if you claim that the TNIV is a "gender-accurate" version instead of a "gender-inclusive" version, then how do you explain the fact that 26 well-known Biblical scholars have stated that they are unable to endorse this version for use by the church? (http://www.baptistpress.com) If you only look at the complete NT text of the TNIV (http://www.tniv.info), you will see for yourself that it fits the definition for what a 'gender-inclusive' language is: seeking to use gender inclusive language in places where the text is referring to a universal meaning, rather than keeping the gender affinity sensitive to the leading of the original languages themselves. You can assume all that you want. But the fact of the matter is: the IBS is not a non-profit organization. - Makarios |
