== How to reflourish this project ==
I think the general idea, of a grassroots effort of the "best of the public" to deeply analyze and clarify key verses to properly correspond the meanings in the original versions into modern vernacular, is brilliant, though I've noticed that this project has been criticized for various reasons.
For one, the theme of promoting a "conservative Bible" to counter perceived "liberal bias" only addresses and rebukes ''one'' form of heresy. And since the process of making a "conservative Bible" in a perceived ''ideological'' sense comes off as motivated by pursuits outside direct biblical meaning, it unfortunately can be perceived as more politically motivated, as I've seen critics accuse the project of.
I have an idea on how to regrow this project without excessive overhauling. The name "Conservative Bible Project" can be kept, though the general theme and concept of "conservative" ought to remove the notion that it's relevant to left–right politics. After all, the concept of the left–right political spectrum [https://time.com/5673239/left-right-politics-origins/ was invented in the era of the French Revolution over one and a half millenia after Jesus's day], and thus is a notion invented by uninspired men who may not even have been saved Christians.
Instead of the "conservative" in "Conservative Bible Project" referring to man-made ideological designations, the meaning in this project should reflect the theme of ''conserving'' the true meaning of the Bible against heresy. After all, conservative values, especially in the U.S., ultimately are grounded in Judeo-Christian morality; thus, this project, with the title "Conservative Bible Project," should honor God by soundly conforming the definition of conservative to reflect biblical values, rather than giving the appearance of contorting the Bible to fit what uninspired ''men'' may arbitrary choose to define "conservative" as.
Hopefully those involved with this project, more than I have been, won't object to this proposal of mine? Liberal bias is nonetheless a form of heresy to be addressed, though it's not the only type. Ultimately, we should utmost remember that the priority is honoring God, not using God's word to promote man-made "wisdom" which the Lord views as foolish. Per the [https://www.esv.org/1+Corinthians+2/ First Epistle to the Corinthians]:
{{cquote|And I, when I came to you, brothers, did not come proclaiming to you the testimony of God with lofty speech or wisdom. For I decided to know nothing among you except Jesus Christ and him crucified. And I was with you in weakness and in fear and much trembling, and my speech and my message were not in plausible words of wisdom, but in demonstration of the Spirit and of power, '''so that your faith might not rest in the wisdom of men but in the power of God.'''|||1 Corinthians 2:1–5}}
