Subject: Good-bye, NIV |
Bible Note: If you feel you MUST protest (?) to/against a company that couldn't care less (except for the profit margin), why not DONATE your NIV's to folks who would be just happy to receive a bible to read..?? God never instructed us to read the NIV, NASB, KJV, NKJV, NLT, GoodNewsBible, TEV, Amplified, RVS, ESV or any other version/translaton. He simply wants us to share His word with all the unsaved....just PLANT the SEED and let God take care of the rest. It seems we all get soooooo carried away with types of bibles (study, pew use, general reading, etc.), that we forget the real simplicity regarding God's plan for salvation, that it unfortunately gets "LOST" in the "TRANSLATION" (pun intended!). Forget the PHD's and other self proclaimed "experts" on biblical language, and get back to the BASICS of saving lost souls. There will be long lines at Heaven's gates with many of those same "experts" who will no doubt still be debating, oblivious of the fact that some of them in the "me,me,me,me--I'm right and your not" group, forgot to "get saved" themselves. If you can find God's plan of Salvation in ANY bible, and are able to explain it to any age group that is willing and able to understand it..who cares what company you got it from or what version or translation you are reading from!! It has been said that many of these so called "religious experts" are soooooo heavenly minded that thay they are no earthly good." So if your favorite Bible...yes even the much maligned New Living Translation is what it takes to put a soul in God's column, for crying out loud just "DO IT!!!" God will do the REST! |
