If those are your best examples then what is all the panic about? Were the disciples only interested in saving the souls of men or people.

Might I suggest if you dont want it, dont buy it. Both versions plus many others will continue to be available.

I suspect this is about blurring, not clarifying. Substituting other words with difference senses is hardly what I would consider careful handling of the scriptures.

"Your servants have counted the men (substitute "warrior here) of war who are under our command, and there is not a one of us is missing." (Num. 31:49) Even the males who were circumcised in Joshua 5:4 are not called "men of war," but "warriors." Obviously the "translators" want us to believe the army in Israel contained women and that the women were also circumcised.

Some people seem to find revisionism in the history books to be objectionable. Apparently, the same principle doesn't apply to scripture? Oh well, thanks for your advice to ignore it and not to stand against it.
