Bible Note: Hi, Tim. Fair enough; I won't sell my stock in the Morant61 Enterprises because you use the NIV (if you will promise to do it secretly and sparingly :-) My problem is that when I pick up the NIV in the wake of the recent events concerning the TNIV, I just get, as we say down here in the sticks, mad all over. And that is hardly the emotion with which to approach the reading and study of the Bible. I'm over playing this aspect a bit, but there are other, more cogent reasons that led me to the final decision to abandon the NIV, something I've been considering for some time, and the recent events merely served as the catalyst I needed to push me over the hump. One of these days I may write you an e-mail and explain the whole thing in more detail. The e-mail shouldn't run much over 100 pages if I send you the condensed version! --Hank |
