Not to mention their translation philosophy was what is called Dynamic Equivelent. Which simply means, instead of translating Word for Word, they translated Thought for Thought. In other words; as long as the general idea comes across. But Jn. 1:1 did not say: In the begining was the General Idea. But: In the begining was the Word. Word for word translation recognizes that the inspiration extends to the very words of scripture. God did not just give a revelation and leave it up to the authors to frame it the best way they knew how. Bottom line; the NIV is a paraphrase at best, not an accurate transtalion. |

BTW, I am a Christian. I believe you are a christian, But I did want to mention that many of the things you mentioned were illegal in the US until a few years ago. Adultry, keeping shop on the Lord's day. Divorce could not be granted unless adultry was proven. Homosexuality is still against the law in some states. You may have your opinion, but it has not been historicly researched. It sopunds more like an emotionaly charged reaction. |

TT wrote: Wow, Rick, it's a far stretch to go from homosexuality to bashing Christian rock music. Ray Boltz doesn't even do rock music. And remember Michael English who left the Christian music scene for a while due to his problem with adultery? He did southern gospel music with the Gaithers. And mustwatch, as far as the Psalms, they give direction to use instruments of Gath. Gath was Philistine, home of Goliath and company. The point: use everything to praise the Lord. Why don't we pray for these artists whose mininstries lead them to temptations. As for sin, that is a different story... Just remeber that when your children's generation want to glorify God through homosexuality and pornography. I was a rock musician in the 70s, and I know what people like Bill Gottard were right when they were warning young people to stay away from rock. Now, through the philosohpy that you have espoused, rock and all other forms of the world have taken over the church. At first, I tried what you are talking about, but soon saw the problems with it. Iv'e been on both sides of this issue. So, I'm not some old fundamentalist that is stuck in another era. Thanks for your time. |

Thas is one of the best points for continuity in the preaching services. |

It is NOT, NOT, NOT too hard to read. Who is reading this that is under three years old? When my daughter was nine, she that said her favorite book was Leviticus! She is ten now and still reads the Authorized Version unprompted by me. She was reared without the world and under a Biblical Scholarship. We must remember that the Bible is a spiritual book and is understandable to those who are led by God's Spirit. It is not possible for the natural man to understand it [I Corinthians 2:14], hence paraphrasing or simplifying it will do no good. The Bible is not supposed to read like a fairy tale! http://www.jesus-is-lord.com/kjvdefns.htm BUT JIM CAN'T READ WHAT any 10 year old can read [URL=http://ilearnsomethingnew.files.wordpress.com/2009/08/dunce-cap1.jpg]]]if the hat fits![/URL] Thank you for the truth illusrtated by your daughters experience. I am going to be dealing with the subject of translations this Sun. night in church, and I'd like to use your story to make the point. |

Oh God; I know your Spirit must be so greived. On this time of Holy Remembrance. What is supposed to be your Church, is making a mockery of everything sacred. We have traded the Bible for BudgetS, Eternity for Entertainment, Faith for Fun, and Holliness for Happiness. Your people are being destroyed for lack of knowlege. The prophets are prophesying to them falsly and people love to have it so. While the lost are going to a Christless eternity in Hell, and the sheep are starving, we are having theme parks, rock concerts, clowns and gimmicks. O God, bring back a sense of holliness. A sense of conviction that would make us fall down and say "Woe is me for I am undone" God your remnant is crying out to you to raise up true spiritual churches, to throw down the false church of entertainment, and show that you are still able to revive as in former days. We aknowledge that we have grieved you, and that you have justly withdrawn your presence. Pleas return and Save Now. In Jesus Name Amen! |

Taking a step back from it to tend to his family and his own soul is a move that seems to be a very wise thing to do. I hope this event also helps his congregation in that it reminds them that they are where they are because of the Lord, not John Piper. Point taken. |
