There may come a time, I fear, when it will be very difficult to find a local church which still uses a coherent version of the Bible, and preaches the Gospel.

One thing I have noticed is the liberal pastors love and use this, even in the context of worship. Similar to how some adore An American Translation by Beck. I personally have a low opinion on Beck's Bible and I think it suffers from similar issues. So I became livid when I saw those who complain about AAT sang high praises for The Massage. The sheer irony if not hypocrisy of such attitudes lowered my respect for those individuals.<br /><br />That is the problem I find with Beck and Peterson. A single person waxing whimsically about their thoughts on Scripture. But give Beck his due that he was far more serious about trying to figure out how the original Autographs would sound in today's vernacular. Peterson started with street slang and tried to force the Word into it, no matter what was lost in translation.Jasonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09648337362763755187noreply@blogger.com
