    Listen gentlemen,

    I grow weary of this overblown desire to appear "culturally relevant". I say, lets not only use the inspired version that is the King James Bible, but by George, let's dress like him too!

    verily!

    If the King James Version was good enough for Jesus, it's good enough for me! ;)

    Obviously Latin is a more authoritative language than Koine and semitic languages!

    In this paradigm for Bible translation, I argue... "The role of a modern Bible translation is NOT to make the Scripture personally relevant or culturally meaningful (these are the function of the Holy Spirit and Bible study). It IS the role of a Bible translation to faithfully render the original source language into a comprehensible modern language. (Note: Comprehension is a function of both Accuracy and Intelligibility)"

    We have a world dying without Christ, and we're
    arguing Bible Translations? Talk about Majoring
    on the Minors! This is foolishness!
