Some folks really do worship their translation don't they?
If you go back through the threads, you'll find that ANY negative comments about the NIV family of Bibles angers rippon as much as if you'd just slapped his mother! He has a very weird obsession with the NIV Bible. One would think he owns stock in the company that publishes them! :smilewinkgrin:
Gues that would mean we have KJVO and NIVO here represented!

Can we start a NASBO movement? :laugh:
Hummmm...stock in the company???? Wouldn't "the company" be Ruppert Murdock...who also owns Fox News and a host of pornographic holdings? Imagine that...a guy like him OWNING the copyright for a book that is purported to be the Word of God? Say it ain't so! Last I heard he does indeed own the copyright on the NIV. I don't think I'd be interested in THAT stock....or in buying ANYTHING that would put money in THAT guy's pocket....if given the choice.

Hmmm...imagine King James I of England--a flaming homosexual with at least three lovers that we know of judging by his love letters to them--commissioning the King James Holy Bible and owning the copyright on it for 100 years? Scandalous!

That is an oft-repeated rumour....but I have never actually SEEN or READ those letters. I know the anti-KJV crowd just loves that one...that would also put them in agreement with the radical pro-Gay crowd as well. I certainly don't give them ANY credence at all. If you can document or justify your claim....post the letters for all here to see. Better yet...may I humbly suggest that you not be quick to buy into the claims of the pro-gay/anti-KJV crowd and step "InTheLight":laugh:? Then you could say that you have a truly error-free infallible Bible!

Wonder who they dedecated the 'Queen James' Bible to?
I've heard this before but have never found any proof of it. Do you have a link to a reliable source for this?
. It was also rumoured that he was homosexual and preyed upon the young boys brought to service at court. This caricature, which has long dominated the popular view of James I, was largely the work of disappointed English office seekers whose pique clouded their observations and the judgments of generations of historians.
I don't that that I have either lied, nor slandered either the Niv or its translators, but what say yeh?
