Bible Note: And you know what? People will launch all their invective if the evangelical church launches a massive protest against this translation. Christians will be characterized as "narrow-minded, backward thugs" who have no right to put such pressure on the publishers. However, it is precisely the place of the church to defend the truth of the Scriptures against dilution. The Bible belongs to us, and voting with our voices and our feet and our pocketbooks is not only our right as Americans, but also our duty in affirming sola Scriptura. --Joe! |
