A cursory perusal of the finished works quickly provides examples of disregard for word for word equivalence, treating each word as Divine, and favoring the liberal Dynamic Equivalence method, with awkward renderings, or ones which seem more motivated by fear of liberals more than a fear of God. As Martin Luther put it: "I have been very careful to see that where everything turns on a single passage, I have kept to the original quite literally and have not lightly departed from it. I preferred to do violence to the German language rather than to depart from the Word."

A  quick look at Matthews 1-16,  Mary is said to have become "pregnant with the child of the Divine Guide" (Mt. 1:18,20 and elsewhere),  showing  seeming contempt for the universal warranted translation. The Divine nature of the Holy Spirit is revealed more in other texts, while "holy" (hagios-holy) describes His supreme attribute, and Spirit (pneuma) denotes His nature, and which here is evident in His power, not guidance. In Mt. 4:19 Jesus healed "every manner of disease" is replaced with "every kind of germ" (really).  Christ in Mt. 16:16 is rendered the  "Anointed One", which is what it means, (though "one" is added) but it is inconsistent with the idea that liberal renderings (Pres. Obama?) are to be avoided. In Mt. 16:18, "the gates of hell shall not prevail against it" is rendered, "The very Gates of Hell shall be breached by it!".  Thus the literal hadēs (hell) ou (not) katischuō (overpower) autos (it, or the same) must be interpretively rendered so that the church can get into Hell.

While the KJV is seen to promote feminism through its judicious use of the word "children" in "children of God" (Mt. 5:4) and other places (where is there is not gender-specific word)  yet "descendant" is used over "son" in Mt. 1:1." while  words like "laborer" are seen as socialist.

This is only a cursory examination of some of the work of this project, but it it increasingly manifest as a mistake, like unto so many other ill-advised attempt's have been.[[User:Daniel1212|Daniel1212]] 20:25, 30 November 2009 (EST)
