The Translators intent??

Apparently they don't get it, Pastor Bob.:BangHead:

 

No, I think it's the other way around.

 

My oldest son uses the boys version all the time.. He has worn one out reading it...

Yeah, bad Bible, bad bible...

Don't think so... He is growing in Christ, and it shows...

I like them. Go ahead and slam away, but God is using them to grow my son... Praise God.

 

Tim, thanks for this testimony. This proves how ridiculous the contra position really is.

 

No, it proves that people can make a mockery of God's Word and many who profess to be Christians don't notice the wiles of the devil.

The armor is weak and the enemy is gaining ground.

The Word does not need the world to win souls, the Word stands alone. What is enticing to the teens in those magazines is not the Word of God, it is the world...

They are reading the same junk that the lost are reading in Cosmopolitan, Vogue, Teen Miss, Seventeen, and all the other magazines that point teens to self and lust.

 

It's not the KJV, so why bother with it.

Unless you think the NCV is also the Word of God.

 

All above bolded is my doing to emphasise the following points.

1) DON'T QUESTION MY SALVATION!! (And yes I am shouting)

2) How dare you insult my son.. he is not chasing the world, he enjoys reading his Bible... YOU ARE NOT GOD, and I am tired of you playing God on this board... you do not know my son, you do not know his heart, HOW DARE YOU! As a matter of fact he is struggling with a call on his heart, he came to us the other night... either a missionary or pastor... So INSTEAD OF INSULTING HIM... PRAY FOR HIM. He is going to need it when he faces the legalistic pharisees in many churches.

3) You obviously don't know what you are talking about.

 

I was praying for someone with keener insights than I to show up, and someone showed up.

Ann, plus, it's not the KJV, and for those who are anti-MVs, they shouldn't worry about the NCV, unless it too is the Word of God.

 

Thanks for bringing these to my attention. I thinketh I mayth obtain a few copies for the use of my own youngun's and their friends. Anything that can attract some of the kids I know to the Word of God has to be a good thing.

Or are we supposed to think that God can only speak from a black leather, red letter edition of the KJV? Wait!! Wouldn't that idea limit God somehow?

 

Did I question your salvation? I said "Many," not "You."

The Revolve and Refuel Biblezines are clearly of the world. Since when does the Word of God have articles such as "Should a girl call a boy for a date"? Oh, that's right, since it was re-written to fit man's desire instead of God's standard.

I know a lot more than you give me credit for.

We are to be wise as serpents and harmless as doves. Revolve and Refuel are definitely not 'harmless.'

 

Ahhh wait, Standing Firm. Just what is the problem with including an answer to questions such as "should a girl call a boy for a date" in a printed Bible?

Young people today claim constantly that the Bible is no longer relevant to their lives. If an answer to such a question brings the realization that scripture is indeed relevant to a young person life, what could possibly be the problem? (well, unless you didn't think the answer was appropriate, but that would be a decision for the parents)

 

The Revolve Tour and Ministering to Teen Girls [Excerpts]

Whosoever therefore shall be a friend of the world is an enemy of God.

It is clear Revolve is not centering on God or the Scripture, but on love of the flesh.

Are they truly witnessing Christ through their magazine? or 'another Christ'?

Yep, real spiritual... NOT!!

And parents who claim to be Christians cheering them on.

Just another model magazine that the company calls of God. Just because Christ is mentioned in a magazine does not mean it is of God. Revolve proves that to those who will open their eyes to reality.

And there ya go... Revolve is about conceit and pride. It is for those who have young ravishing bodies who want to impress man and not God. It is designed to cause teens to love self more than God.

You still want to promote it as Gospel? Sad.

 

Standing Firm, your quotes are simply the opinions of one who thinks the same as you. Ravishing teens? LOL, in whose book. Conceit and pride? By whose definition? So far neither you or Pastor Bob have clearly shown how this is a bad thing.

You can say articles about make up and skate boards are worldly, but it's just legalism if you can't tell why. Been there, done that and threw the t-shirt in the trash!

Before you condemn something as worldly, be prepared to tell us why or be ignored. This isn't about "getting" it. If the Holy Spirit wanted me to "get it" He'd point it out to me clearly, with His own words.

 

Tim, let me be bold here.

I think that SFIC is questioning your son's salvation.

And I think it's shameful.

I love the reasoning, too: "It's evil, because sliceoflaodicea.com says it is."

Welll...alrighty then, at least you're being specific.

I second menageriekeeper...you guys are railing. Because it's in color? Because it is an "apostate version?"

 

Well, if you have an anemic argument, you might as well "spice it up" with a silly analogy. :thumbs:

 

I find nothing worldly about this cover. Nothing! I say.
