With every rewrite of the Bible, a new spin. Frightening.

This is a joke, right?Yes, it is--but not intentionally. I take that back. Maybe it's just pure heresy.

Any translation of the Bible that carries the Archbishop of Canterbury's approval should be highly suspect. In my opinion, the Anglican Communion has lost all credibility as a Christian body.

This had to have been written in the 60s and left lying around in a drawer for 40 years.

New: "John, nicknamed 'The Dipper,' was 'The Voice.' He was in the desert, inviting people to be dipped, to show they were determined to change their ways and wanted to be forgiven." This is not an Anglican translation. It's Baptist.
To: Fifth Business
Not any Baptist I've ever encountered in my life. It must be a new fringe group.

I think this IS the hip-hop version.
On a more serious note, I wonder who the heretics are that are trying to pass this blasphemy off as Scripture. Judging by a couple of those passages, they sound like a branch of the Gaystapo.

Actually, that's not a bad translation.
baptizo doesn't mean "baptize," that's a transliteration/copout. It means "dip" or "immerse."
That's the weird thing about this: some of those passages actually contain good ideas, for paraphrases. But what's bad is REALLY bad.
Besides, another paraphrase is the LAST thing we need.

I think the headline exagerrates. Its actually a very modern translation, using direct contemporary language. Granted, it lacks the classic majesty of the King James, but it has a directness that should appeal to modern readers who no longer grasp words that have changed meaning in 500 years' time. Its a reminder the Bible is above all things, a timeless book set in the service of a timeless message.

This is the heretic Williams--and no, sadly, this is not a joke, parody, or spoof.
