re: #53 mmmirele

Just thought I’d point out that the Calvinist Evangelicals have dumped the NIV for the English Standard Bible, which is a worked over version of the Revised Standard Version. Basically, it’s the “He-Man Woman Haters” Bible and has some strange translation decisions to back up their patriarchal thinking. The men who go to Apologia Church all carry big, black leatherbound ESVs with gilded pages.

Hey, that gives me an idea. Next Sunday maybe I’ll take out a couple or three Bibles when I go protesting. God knows I have several.

I would suggest a print copy of the “Skeptic’s Annotated Bible” (the KJV with annotations and cross-references between all the different contradictions in the Bible - thousands of them) but you might not care for that (I’m sure they wouldn’t).

I gave my wife a print copy of it a couple years ago. She and I use it quite regularly. I would imagine she and I have read more of the Bible than most Christians (cover-to-cover several times, including the mind-numbingly Numbers).
