“This is not the first time there has been an attempt to fuse American nationalism with the holy book — in fact Thomas Nelson released ‘The American Patriot’s Bible’ over a decade ago, which was a very similar project,” they wrote. “But what is new is a growing awareness of how dangerous nationalism is when coupled with faith," they added. "After all, the Bible does not say ‘God bless America.’ It says, ‘God so loved the world.’”
The above seems to be the crux of the controversy surrounding this Bible addition, but somehow up to this point no one on this thread seems to have picked up on it or commented on it.
The effect of convincing believers that patriotism is un-Godly, whether intended or not, is to weaken America and make her easier to destroy.
Uh I was addressing each issue as it came thru the thread; but yeah, I picked up on it...
Question is, what are YOU saying about it...I can’t tell if you are supporting or opposing Zondervan’s position...
