The four most important pieces of preparation for Bible translation are a thorough understanding of Greek/Hebrew; an understanding of the principles/methodology of [[Bible exegesis]]; a solid understanding of Ancient Near East (ANE) culture; and finally, a solid understanding of theology. Of course, this is a tall order and requires years of preparation and the CBP's participants didn't have this level of knowledge. TerryH and AugustO have the highest level of knowledge when it comes to Greek, but in terms of their overall knowledge when it comes to translating the Bible when compared to prominent Bible translators, they really don't compare as they did not focus their vocational training on being pastors, Christian educators, Bible translators, etc.

The CBP is not being widely used by the public. For example, [[Acts 1-9 (Translated)]] has less than 10,000 page views. The CBP hasn't received an endorsement from a single prominent conservative, Christian or Christian group. However, it did receive public criticism from the American conservative [[Joseph Farah]] and [[Creation Ministries International]].

The public views the CBP was an endeavor to inject contemporary American conservative political ideology into the ancient book of the Bible through the efforts of people who do not have an intense amount of training/preparation.

The CBP should be scrapped. If it is not scrapped, at the very least it should be renamed the Conservapedia Bible Project. In addition, it should get rid of the idea of endeavoring to inject a list of predetermined words into the text and instead put a greater focus on determining the Biblical authors' original intent/meaning and translating this into contemporary language. In addition, a list of Bible translation resources should be compiled along with an action plan of study by the projects participants.
