Entry: Lord Have Mercy…


 

Meta & Errata


I just ran across this and I am appalled, no really.

It seems that now the New Testament is being pawned off as a teen girls magazine.  I think I am going to be sick; there are no words to express how wrong this is, all I can do is show you this picture:

And ask you to forgive me for exposing you to this nonesense.

    So, like, then Paul said to the Corinthians, “Like, why do you sin and stuff? It’s just so not cool.”

    Hmmmm…I’m all about putting God’s Word into modern languages, such as English spoken currently vs. Old English, to make it more accessable to people. However, “Revolve” is taking it a bit too far. I give them an “E” for Effort, but I think they should have kept it The Holy Bible and had their trendy add-ins as a Bible study aid. Something about how we should “be in the world but not of the world” has come to my mind. And what about the whole “don’t mess with the Scriptures” thing…would this be considered modifying God’s Word by adding in quizzes and advice columns? But, I guess since they aren’t technically calling it a Bible, they don’t think that applies??? “And our feature article this month is the entire New Testament! Let’s hope you have some spare time, girls!”

    Hmmmm, those girls are hot.

    I’d feel bad, but after all, it IS a Bible … and what’s good for the Bible is good enough for me!

    Haha

    Haha! I only laugh because I am in their target audience. This stuff did me some good, though. It made me see the shallowness of trying to fit in to the modern culture. Last I checked, the Church was to be the light on the hill which the culture seeks to follow because of its outstanding sanctity (“set apart”-ness) and purity. I blinked, and all of a sudden, I see the Church prostituting herself after the filth of the culture in which she lives (if I can still say that!), becoming not only like it, but appealing to its lowest common denominator. ::steps off my soap-box::
    So…yeah, that’s my opinion. :) Forgive the crude language…
