Bible Note: I'm sorry, I wasn' talking tranlations, but reality (Is that allowed?). I would guess that 99 percent of Christians (including me) ,at some level, see God has the classic wise, white, old man. We assign God a race and a gender. Is my guess far off? Is my reality wrong,based on anyone else's interaction with Christians? Maybe it's just the circle of Christians I run with. If the Bible Society,with the TNIV, is taking a step in challenging that illusion... then great! I don't think any souls will be lost. And some souls may be saved... women who don't like to think of themselves has the B team. Maybe, I'm wrong. Do people here believe God is male ( Adam , my image etc?) I'm certainly no expert, and am open to other opinions. Don't take it personally, I just think TNIV may bring more people to God. |
