"Conservative" means to respect and adhere to original intent.  It works for interpreting the Constitution.  Don't we need it for new translations of the Bible?--[[User:Aschlafly|Andy Schlafly]] 23:26, 24 December 2009 (EST)

:Yes, absolutely. But I would rather not re-translate the Bible at all. There is too much that could go wrong. Already I see the different meaning between the Conservative translation and the original 1611. (Just wait till I study greek at college!) It seems redundant to me to create another Bible. It may better defend the truth in some ways, but it is undermining the foundation of the scripture. To write a new Bible for the purpose of upholding the truth doesn't make sense. Isn't that the idea of Conservative Bible Project? To defend against liberals and strengthen the politically conservative stance of the Bible? [[User:StevenM|Steve]] 23:38, 24 December 2009 (EST)
