Subject: Why the NKJV over the NASB ? |
Bible Note: InGodITrust - Possibly such a large segment of the modern church and its congregants prefer a watered-down paraphrased version of God's word for the same reason they rally around shallow, fluffy, "feel good" theology and the charlatans who promote it. How far the church has fallen from the sound preaching of Charles Haddon Spurgeon and Jonathan Edwards to the 'name-it-and-claim-it' nonsense exemplified by the TV con artists who want to bilk you out of your money by tricking you into sending them "seed faith." What a pity, what a farce! ..... If you want to see a stark contrast -- and I do mean stark -- between the kind of preaching/teaching people were exposed to in Colonial America and in the religious thought of today, compare Jonathan Edwards' "Sinners in the Hands of an Angry God" with Joel Osteen's powder puff, "Your Best Life Now." --Hank |
