1381 | Brand new out of date NASB? | Bible general Archive 1 | justme | 55367 | ||
EdB: Dis you know Kirkbride and Zondervan have ties with each other. Kirkbride was the first to come out with the "glue lock" systen when the Thompson Chain NIVfirst came out. That was a real disaster!. I have rebound a couple of old Bibles from 1870ies. It several weeks at 20 hoursa weeek. The work takes lots pf time to align the edges and sew it back by hans. I did this as a gift, and I might do it again. Yest I did buy a 1990's edition. I too found it not anywhere as good as the orignal. Blessings, I feel we have moved much closer to knowing and understanding eacher. This has been a good day. Thank you. agape, justme |

EdB: I really do see your point. I could not agree more about the "christian junk", and I purposefully used the small letter "c" because Christ has nothing to do with these noder day temple coffers! The WWJD stuff is a perfect example! If it's not in your heart, why ware it? In most of our chain Christian Book stores Thomas Kinkade, paintings that have been reprinted by the hundred of thousands are a hig price item. There is Kinkade, cups, pictures, glass trinkets, and so many things done by Kinkade. I would bet one fourth of the store is devoted to this "christian" mega million dollar enterprise. My pet pieve is try and find some really schollary material. You mentioned the Left BEHIND BOOKS. The co autor, according to Hank Hanegrraaf does not believe in the trinity! My opinion is if there wer no book of Revelation Lehey whould have starved! I call this kind of reading "christian junk". How many Christians own an Exhaustive Concordance, or a set of Commentary's? Yet they will have all 27 books of LEFT BEHIND. or however many gets in print. You are very correct to buy a well made genuine leather Bible does cost a lot. I have no objection to CBD or Amazon, or any other place we can save money. We are all faced with choices, abd some we might rather not like to make. A Bible at the local Book store for 89 dollars or the Bible discount Mall for 65 dollars. There is not much to deciede. I do agree, but also see the other side. As for your friend I can not speak for how that is dome. What ever they are doing must be pretty profitable. May I address you feelings on Zondervan. When Mr. Zondervan owned the Company, I can say Mr. Zondervan was A FINE SOILD CHRISTIAN I HIGHLY RESPECTED. When Harper and roe bought Zondervan out in the late eighties, it was a huge change. Many who worked for Zondervan, were paid their full retirement out of Mr. Zondervans personal funds. He had intregrity. The publishing industry has lost many publishing houses in the last decade. The way they print and make books is much faster, and cheaper, and quality is lower. Zondervan/Harper and Roe, are mading a profit, where Zondervan was not. The sane for Broadman and Holman, they united. However Zondervan has is not the only publishing house that has made some real faulty changes to older versions. the New Revised Standard Version is appalling to me. BroadmanHolman prints that. So what are we to do? I will support The Lockman Foundation, and their wonderfull efforts in the NASB update. Published by....Zondervan. I am buying the work done by The Lockman Foundation, printed on better quality materials in genuine leather ans smythe sewn. Like buying at Wal Mart, rather than my local store. If we do not buy the TNIV it will ge gone soon. I wish they would bring back THE OPEN BIBLE in the updated NASB, myself. Thanks for the reply. Agape, justme |

Kalos: do you believe in Apostasy yourself? I think I would say that "faith that falters, had a flaw ib the begining". That is a quote but I have no resource. agape, justme |

EdB: I was addressing gould55, but adding your two cents worth is ok with me. The tone of you note is more than a "tad" unfriendly! I would call it almost sarcastic. I don't mind a open challange to my "information" but you come rather close to saying I don't know where I speak from. I am answering you so you can be better informed. I am not refering to Wal Mart or CBD or Sam's Club! To become a Christian Book Store owner it requires about 25 to 50 thousand dollars, to be an independant owner. When Family Book Stores, which was a franchize, the start up cost was much higher! The price a store owner pays depends on VOLUME! On many books there are minimum count amounts to even buy one. Some require 10, or more. Unless it is a special order which there is little if any profit after transportation and calling the person to tell them the order is in. In a very typical Mom and Pop Christian Book Store they put in about 72 hours in six days! When additional help is required that is an added cost. Location and Name recogintion is the first most important thing a store ouner must have. That means usually a higher rent area. Then it's varity of stock of books. In Bibles alone the expence can be staggering, if you want more than the bare miminum. Customer service is absoultly the most single thing that will make or brake you. Then there is advertizement. Christian radio expects your "support", and phone books, there are usually three to be in. Then you want to be competive, with Wal Mart or CBD or Sams. Now remember these BIG outlet stores buy these books by the hundreds of thousands! Mean while the Mom and Pop store orders what the HOPE will sell! Often books set unsold. Would be customers have handeled books, them and bent covers, or the child mother was carring slobbered on a page or two. There are returns. "I did not know the author was a pertrib person", after reading the book. Or the Bible I picked out for aunt Jane she does not like. This is after her name was put on! Remember the small Book Store Owner has to keep their customer happy so they will return! Just because a Book store marks up a book by 40 percent does not mean that's what they made! Indeed they might well have lost money! A Christian Book Store profit or loss is determined by the end of the year talley of the books! Not on a single item! If you were able to get a typical Christian Book Store owner to tell you their actual profit at the end of the year you would see how mistaken you are! THE TYPICAL INDIVDUAL OWNER MAKES ON THE AVRAGE 4 TO 6 PERCENT! I worked for ZONDERVAN and I was in a special sales division and my commision was about 40 percent, but after expences, and everything the first year I was in the negative for more that 15 percent! the next three years improved. My best year was 3 percent profit. My job was working with churches, and many times they were late with payments, or just quit paying! Do not think that Mom and Pop Christian Book stores don't have there fair share of bad accounts as well. Ther is an assumption that every church should be entitled to an account, and if you don't agree to it see how quickly the news spreds. Just try and see if Sam's or Walmart will special order a book for you. I shop a lot at Wal Mart. But,I also know the old local Bakery, Shoe store, and the Toy store are gone. Sure I save a good amount of money. I expect competive prices. By far, most Local Individual owned Christian Book Stores are not any where near 10 percent. Sure CBD sells for big discounts. If you bought a boxcar full of one kind of set of books you could get them at 50 percent off. Volume times actual price plus 40 percent is quite typical for big stores. I would like to know of ANY book store owned by a Mom and Pop that has made 100 percent. I challenge you to prove your words! EdB, you seen like a person who wants to be a good steward of the money God provides. However many Christians are under the same false misunderstanding about how much Christian book sellers make. You can go to the annual Christian Booksellers convention with your Book Store owner friend, and see for yourself. A Christian Book Store is a Ministry, not for much profit. I will add this too, think of all the different denominations there are. The book store tries to keep material that will fit in all these groups. I know I have said that if all these different authors were ever in one place there would an all out battle of words! So EdB, please reconsider you words. agape, justme |

1385 | A Note of Thanks | Gal 6:2 | justme | 55154 | ||
Hank: I don't know what it is you went through. I do want you to know that it is YOU who I find encouraging, and I find you to be a Christian Elder that I deeply respect an honor. You have a fantastic way of correcting that is refreshing, yet gets the point right where it belongs. I fight some dragons that I often pray for relief form the Lord. I am reminded that my frame is but dust. Again I am encouraged that nothing can remove God's love for me. At times I have felt so inadiquate for this forum by my stupid ise of wrong spelling and things like that I have almost quit. But then a note od correction done in Christian love was sent by you to me. I thank you. I will add you to my special people prayer list. When you want me to remove you please letme know. God bless you Hank! agape, justme (Mike Fahrer) |

1386 | HCSB TRANSLATION? | Bible general Archive 1 | justme | 55037 | ||
Kalos: I wanted to know badenought I looked it up! Holman Christian Standard Bible. I read sone verses. My question is not directed at you but Bible Publishers. WHY ANOTHER ENGLISH VERSION? I think my wife and I have about 13 different versions now. By the way in my most modest but humble opinion The Willians New Testament is a treasure. This was published first in 1937. Holman was assigned the Copyrights in 1965, and 1966. Then in 1986 Holman got complete rights to this most spectular New Testament. Have you got one or seen one? Whem I was In Dr. Willian Cobel's New Testament Class at Midwestern Baptist Theological Seminary some how he arranged so we could but copies. I consider this one of my treasured books. Thanks for the fun! agape, justme |

kalos: Oh boy, ug, uck, ee..gads, I think I have been calling you karlos! I am soooo sorry! Boy I feel really bad, and I apologise! Now between you and Hank being so professional in your grammer, I am so third gradeish! I shared with Hank I am struggling with many health problems. I am on over 32 perscriptions a day. One side effect is cognative slippage, that is a constant battle. I find this forum is a challange to me to keep growing in spiritually, and in this foreign language called English. I am blessed to have the challenges, that God has allowed me to prove me worthy of His special care. Thank you for your patients. agape :-) justme |

karlos: I guess you can tell I am not to internet wise. Thank you for the smiley face. Hank sent me a message and it had one at the end. Iwas thinking it ment something like "Dah" or something like that. So Now I feel better. At times it seems i make too many mistakes and it urkes me, at my mistakes. Thanks. I do see a few others making some minor slip ups, so at least I don't feel quite alone. Blessings:-) agape, justme |

1394 | 'Greater things than these' faith | 2 Tim 2:21 | justme | 54678 | ||
karlos: Now you have it correct! Remember Even if I am wrong, there has to be a win win solution to it some how. I consider that Faith wothout works is dead. Therefore works is an action of faith. So works without faith is just plain work. Am I right? But faith by itself without Gos is only hope and if all we have is hope we are the most miserable peopel on earth. Do you follow me? agape, justme |
