Bible Note: Hello, Makarios; I guess we'll just have to agree to disagree on the meaning and relative importance of those terms. But while we're excoriating bible publishers, I assume we should add Tyndale to the list of money-grubbing, world-loving publishers who have sold out to the feminists. The NLT is also gender-inclusive. See, for example, Matthew 7:8-9: "For everyone who asks, receives. Everyone who seeks, finds. And the door is opened to everyone who knocks. You parents - if your children ask for a loaf of bread, do you give them a stone instead?" Not a "he", "him", or "son" in sight. And don't try to excuse their perfidy by saying it's a paraphrase. It says it's a translation. So they too have played fast and loose with God's Word. The same can be said of the Good News (TEV) too. That just leaves our hosts' publishing arm, Foundation Publications. Ooops, no; they're in bed with Zondervan to publish the NASB. Guess we'd all better start learning Aramaic. ;-) Peace and grace, Steve aka Indiana Jones |
