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

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.

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.

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 hilarious. I love it.
Not as scripture, of course, but as pure stupid goofiness this can't be beat.

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!'" That's just silly.

Well I guess this is only to be expected from the ArchDRUID of Canterbury.
London Times on July 19, 2002:
As the sun rises over a circle of Pembrokeshire bluestones, the Archbishop of Wales, the Most Rev Dr Rowan Williams, will don a long white cloak while druids chant a prayer to the ancient god and goddess of the land. After a trumpet fanfare and the thrice partial sheathing and unsheathing of a 6ft 6in sword, a citation will be read. Dr Williams will close his hands in prayer while the archdruid, wearing a crown and shield over his bardic robes, will enfold them in his own and utter words of welcome. That will be the moment that Dr Williams, who will adopt a new, bardic name, is accepted into the white druidic order, the highest of three orders of the Gorsedd of Bards, the Welsh body of poets, musicians, writers and artists. The Mistress of the Robes, Sian Aman, will then clothe him in a druidic white headdress, and a steward will lead him to join the other assembled druids inside a sacred circle. The ceremony will take place 'in the face of the sun, in the eye of the light' at the start of the Welsh National Eisteddfod at St David's, Pembrokeshire, in early August

Titled "Good as New," the new Bible is translated by former Baptist minister John Henson for the "One" organization, to produce what the group calls a "new, fresh and adventurous" translation of the Christian scriptures.
ROTFLOL!! Anglicans!!!!

"Instead of condemning fornicators, adulterers and 'abusers of themselves with mankind'," says Ruth Gledhill, the London Times religious affairs correspondent, "the new version of his first letter to Corinth has St. Paul advising Christians not to go without sex for too long in case they get 'frustrated.
This is a "rewrite", a new piece of fiction. Who wants to bet that the Islamofascists use this garbage as propaganda against Christians? They used the ECUSA's decision on that gaybish to slaughter Christians in Namibia (and probably Sudan). I wonder how many will be persecuted and die because of this?
