[Cronos]

Jesus is tempted by thoughts popping into His head

Exactly, next they would say that He was crazy....

[longtermmemmory]

This must be the sexual perverse trying to rewrite the definitions in favor of the left. Why not just put in verbative the entire homosexual agenda, and the commie agenda just for fun?

Doublespeak on parade.

[Cronos]

There is also a new politically correct version of the Koran in which the Sura that says that infidels should be beheaded comes out this way: "Give the non-believers a close shave, and if your razor slips, pray that they will get their 72 virgins."

Dark Humor, but HILARIOUS!!! ;-P

[King Prout]

the council of Nicaea is no longer considered the last word by these jokers, i guess.

[King Prout]

too F'ed up for words.

[King Prout]

my brother, you will NOT believe this crap.

I can easily visualize the ecstasy undergone by a certain aged hippie of our mutual and much-disgusted acquaintance when he shall stumble upon this grotesquery.

[hellinahandcart]

Are there any Anglican/Episcopalian Freepers out there?

Yes. ahadams2 has been keeping the ping list for us, ever since the Robinson abomination was forced on us all.

And what are you doing about it?

Keeping a death watch, basically.

Is there any help you would need from us, your fellow Christians (because in the end that's all that matters) and fellow freepers?

I can only speak for myself, of course. But I could sure use some Xanax. ;D

[mhking]

I thought content from The Onion was no longer permitted on FR...

Just damn.

If you want on the list, FReepmail me. This IS a high-volume PING list...

[hellinahandcart]

- they remove the Book of Revelation and replace it with a book from the Apocrypha

Not even. My Bible includes the Apocrypha, and the "Gospel of Thomas" isn't in there.

I don't know why I am astonished that they took out Revelation. They were aiming for no male or female, no angels or devils, no sins and no judgment, so the ultimate judgment naturally had to go.

[plushaye]

So Gospel of Thomas didn't even make the Apocrypha cut. I guess the writer here needed a space to fill when he cut out Revelation and this "gospel" was convenient.

Your comments are so true about the writer's intent. This is a pagan book masquerading as scripture.

I like "John the Dipper".

I keep having this image in my mind of John with a can of Skoal and a spit cup, spitting in between baptisms. Skoal, brother!

[johnb838]

I'm a piskie. I'm not giving them any more of my money, that's all I can think to do about it.

[hellinahandcart]

Why not "Jack the Dipper"? Couldn't be any more jarring.

[SedVictaCatoni]

I keep having this image in my mind of John with a can of Skoal and a spit cup, spitting in between baptisms. Skoal, brother!

"This stuff will make you a goddamned spiritual Tyrannosaurus, just like me."

[ItsTheMediaStupid]

But if they're going to start calling "partner" any sex partner, then they've gone too far in that verse, rendering the entire translation something I could never recommend because it's a poor translation from what the manuscripts actually say.

Actually this is a bit out of context. I don't think it means any sexual partner. Remember Paul was talking to peoples with various relegions and beliefs, many area's may not have had a formal marrage, and they would have to be married after the fact once converted.

[jimt]

I think the author fails to distinguish between a "translation" and a "fabrication".

[A. Pole]

Mark 1:10-11

Authorized version: "And straightway coming up out of the water, he saw the heavens opened, and the Spirit like a dove descending upon him. And there came a voice from the heaven saying, Thou art my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased."

New: "As he was climbing up the bank again, the sun shone through a gap in the clouds. At the same time a pigeon flew down and perched on him. Jesus took this as a sign that God's spirit was with him. A voice from overhead was heard saying, 'That's my boy! You're doing fine!'"

Interesting.

[johnb838]

I think the entire point of this translation is so that when the Canadiens outlaw the bible as hate speech, they will do it translation by translation, with this one ultimately being the only one allowed. Rusty Humphries was predicting this very thing about three months ago. I've been waiting for it. Spirit of Antichrist indeed.
