Now 'conservatives' are twisting Scripture(Bad Sign)
WND ^ | October 22, 2009 | Joseph Farah

For I testify unto every man that heareth the words of the prophecy of this book, If any man shall add unto these things, God shall add unto him the plagues that are written in this book: – Revelation 22:18

I've seen some incredibly stupid and misguided initiatives by "conservatives" in my day, but this one takes the cake.

Because the Bible has been rewritten to conform with the agenda of "liberals," a self-described "conservative" is spearheading an effort to rewrite it to his liking.

If you think I'm joking, read on...

Bad move- very bad move. If, on face value, you feel something doesn’t conform with your belief, check your assumptions and study deeper. You either need to clarify your understanding, clarify your belief, or reconcile. I’ve seen how the left tries to use the Bible (friends with a radical leftist theology major- that is a challenge) and none of their best arguments holds water.

I heard about this. Very arrogant. God’s Word does not need to be spun. A straight translation will do.

Calling yourself a conservative doesn't automatically make you one.

Just like Obama calling himself an American doesn't automatically make him one.

That’s right. I have always felt that if the Bible doesn’t agree with my opinion...then I need to change my opinion. LOL

Or dig deeper to check your assumptions. What you believe may be right, but you aren’t digging deep enough into the meaning or context..

Start your own religion Mark.

You have an evangelical name so you could start a more perfected church complete with new apostles, prophets, etc.

Christ said, “I am the way the truth and the life and no man comes to the Father but by me.” That would make Christ “reality.”

Hardly surprising, God's word has been twisted from long ago as Satan asked if it were really so that God had forbidden eating from EVERY tree in the Garden.

Andy Schlafly, the son of the heroic Phyllis Schlafly, has begun the Conservative Bible Project, an effort to rewrite the Bible to the tastes of conservatives online, Wikipedia-style.

Ping for later
