AMPLIFIED 2015 | Philippians 2:6 who, although He existed in the form and unchanging essence of God [as One with Him, possessing the fullness of all the divine attributes--the entire nature of deity], did not regard equality with God a thing to be grasped or asserted [as if He did not already possess it, or was afraid of losing it]; |
Subject: Has anyone read BeDuhn's new book? |
Bible Note: I've heard of judging a book by its cover, but this goes just a tad further. In Mr. BeDuhn's preface he writes: "I was moved to write because of my shock at the lack of the most basic facts about the Bible in the modern popular debate over its accurate translation and meaning. I was greatly disappointed to find that the few well-trained scholars who have participated in the debate, for reasons known only to themselves, have chosen to reinforce rather than alleviate the burden of misinformation and wanton bias in the debate." I hope more have the courage to stand up to the slander that is sure to greet any that attempt to voice the unpopular. May they rejoice in knowing their lord Jesus suffered similarly. By the way, where can one buy a New World translation? I've looked at all the religious book stores - online and elsewhere. |
