The Roman Bible...grow into salvation??

My KJB was not, it was published by Oxford. I will never purchase anything published by Zondervan. </font>[/QUOTE]You may never want to buy anything from anybody. Because I am fairly sure that most stores, publishers, etc. have at least some connection to satanist, athiests, anti-christian activists, etc., so anything you buy could possibly go to help support one of these groups.

I'll leave this alone now because better judgement tells me I could take this too far. </font>[/QUOTE]Agreed. I saw this "Zondervan" discussion on another MB (you know the one I mean Amity) and I decided not to even bother. If we start playing the "this company owns that company who owns this company who does this..." game, nothing is safe! What about the supposedly occultic symbols on the dollar bill? Do you still accept your paycheck? According to the "Zondervan/Collins/Satanic Bible" theory you shouldn't, you shouldn't even be using American money. We are in the world but not of this world. We have to use worldly things to survive. What you do with those things is much more important than who owns the company that made them.

 

Cool! I have a 4x parallel with the KJV (1873), NKJV, NIV and NLT commissioned by CBD (Christian Book Distributors). I would rather have the NASB in it than the NLT but it seems like any parallel you buy with the NIV also has the NLT. It appears Zondervan is pushing the NLT (probably because it stinks).

I have to agree. Admittedly the comment was a bit off topic, it could possibly even be classified as baiting but disagreement supported by evidence is not bashing.

 

stevec,

You'd like the parallel I found. It has the KJV, Amplified, NASB, and NIV. I don't remember who publishes it, however. But I did see it in the catalog from Christian Book Distributors ( http://www.christianbook.com).

In Christ,
Trotter

 

The intent of the OP was to bash God's Word.

 

I would disagree with that. The way I read it the intent of the OP was to demonstrate a translation error in a Catholic Bible. I think she was saying it was intentionally mistranslated in order to support Catholic doctrine. She's probably right.
