Changes

This is an interesting and worthwhile project - I'm learning a lot from reading about the various interpretations of the terms in question.  What I'm wondering, though, is how to best implement the outcome for others to use.  My first thought would be to choose a "baseline" version of the Bible as a starting point, like the King James Version, then apply the revised translations that are approved and publish this as a "New Conservative Bible" (since calling it the "Conservapedia Bible" would be immodest, I'd think).  This could be done as a searchable electronic copy under a dedicated namespace on the CP site.  The text itself would be protected, of course, but the talk pages would allow for background, commentary and suggestions for other improved translations.  Does this proposal make sense? --[[User:DinsdaleP|DinsdaleP]] 15:08, 28 December 2008 (EST)

::::I think that this project could be a good project if it was done better. Currently, I think this project is overreaching.  I think in order to do proper Bible translating you need to understand Greek/Hebrew and ANE culture at a bare minimum.  I also reasonably believe that in order to do a conservative translating of the Bible you need to understand the Bible exegesis method of Historico-grammatical exegesis which is given here: http://www.godward.org/archives/BS%20Notes/Basic%20rules%20for%20NT%20exegesis.htm  So far, I don't see see aforementioned being done in any great depth.  That is why I don't think the "New Conservative Bible" will catch on.  I think Protestant Christian conservatives will stick with their KJV, NKJV, and NASB Bibles for some time to come.
