Bible Note: Hi, brother Brad! I can't seem to put my fingers on the quote right now, but my wife told me that Rob Lacey had said that he hadn't parapharsed *all* the books of the bible. After all, he said, most of those books no one wants to read anyway. The only sillier thing I ever saw was an attempt to translate the Bible into Klingon... well, maybe at least as silly. This paraphrase may be handy for those churches that do skits instead of preaching and heavy metal instead of hymns. It seems to be right down there alley. I wouldn't expect these folks to have a proper reverence for God's Word. To them, it's a way to get money from the ignorant masses. May God have mercy on them all. In Him, Doc |
