Good, with the evangelicals going limp on global warming and now this, maybe we'll get a few more converted to Catholicism.

Or maybe those who are evangelicals, and hold to an inerrant Bible will rise up to teach our straying brethren the Truth.

Now, now, next thing you know, someone’s gonna start nailing Bible versions to church doors.

It’s more likely there is a vibrant Southern Baptist presence in American locales where the Romish are looey.
Also you know nothing about the bible biz. The NIV simply marginalizes itself by forcing these politically correct revision. NASB and NKJV are both quite popular among modern readers who want great accuracy.

No thanks. Christianity is good enough for me.
To: pissant
What a miniscule market! The people interested in political correctness aren’t interested in reading Bibles anyway.

The International Bible Society supposedly started out with a wonderful mission, to send out bibles worldwide to people who had few or none. They weren’t satisfied, however, to publish a simplified version of their flagship NIV. They aim to bastardize their original NIV, keeping the same name. I toss their solicitations now.
To: HiTech RedNeck
You’re a presumptuous little feller.

The New International Version, the Bible of choice for conservative evangelicals
First off, I do not know any conservative evangelicals who consider the NIV as good translation.
Like myself, most conservatives use the New American Standard Bible, or the New King James Version. But the NIV has been put on the back shelf with other questionable translations as will be thieir newest heretical version of the Scriptures.

Good, with the evangelicals going limp on global warming and now this, maybe we'll get a few more converted to Catholicism. Catholics voted 54% for Obama, Evangelicals voted about 75 to 80% against him. I don't think that we need more Catholic voters.

NASB has been helpful in recent years by tossing out the obsolescent “thees” and “thous” forms and by clarifying a number of terms. (E.g. the coy “immorality” is now “sexual immorality” when it corresponds to the Greek “porneia.”)

If the Catholic voters in the USA were more like the Catholics in Central and South America we’d do quite a lot better.
To: HiTech RedNeck
I don’t get that, I thought Latin America was pretty inferior compared to the Protestant United States.

Keeping within the Catholic sphere, I mean.
To: HiTech RedNeck
I still don’t get it, I would think that our Catholics are better than their Catholics. What is good about Central and South America?
