Revision as of 01:07, August 13, 2009
As of 2009 there is no fully conservative translation of the Bible which satisfies the following conditions:
- full use of conservative terms as they develop[1]
- conveying evil with its proper liberal language, such as using the term "gamble" rather than "cast lots"[2]
- excluding the liberal passages of doubtful authenticity, such as the adulteress story
- avoiding unisex, "gender inclusive" language
- not dumbing down the reading level
- explaining the numerous economic parables with their full free-market meaning
- including notes that credit the young ages and open-mindedness of the eyewitnesses Mark and John, the authors of two of the Gospels
- use modern political terminology, such as "register" for a census rather than "enroll"
- not denying or downplaying the very real existence of Hell

References
- ↑ For example, in 1611 the conservative concept of "accountability" had not yet developed, and the King James Version does not use "accountable to God" in translating Romans 3:19; good modern translations do.
- ↑ For example, thEnglish Standard Version (2001) does not use the word "gamble" anywhere in translating numerous references to the concept in the Bible.
