, 18:06, December 4, 2009→I can't believe this
Thanks for your comments and I hope you can reconsider your decision to turn your back on this earnest effort to extract and circulate the original intent of the Bible.--[[User:Aschlafly|Andy Schlafly]] 12:26, 4 December 2009 (EST)

:::A rebuttal (because I enjoy honest debate):
:::Your first point: I don't pretend to be a Biblical scholar or know everything about the Bible, but your reply confuses me. Specifically, what is the contradiction?
:::Your second point: I in no way mean to imply that the Bible does not take moral positions. That ''is'' absurd. I am saying that it does not endorse a free-market economic system, or a communist economic system or any other non-moral political issue.
:::To me there is something fundamentally wrong with a translation if you make no attempt to claim that it is the "right" version. I would much rather read a version of the Bible that claimed it was the correct version than one which made no such claim. If no modern Bible makes that claim, then that is probably why I stick to the KJV. Another thing: the Bible was written by the public? If by public you mean well-to-do individuals, then I agree. Matthew was a tax collector, Mark was related to the wealthy Barnabas (Acts 4:36) and was the son of the wealthy Mary, Luke was a doctor, Paul was a government official. Only John, a fisherman, could rightfully be counted as a "common man" in his occupation. (Did I miss any of the authors?)
:::One last, unrelated thing: What happened to JessicaT? Back when I joined she was an active admin, and now it's like she dropped off the face of the earth around April/May. [[User:JonathanC|JonathanC]]
