Its the PEOPLE that the gospel and Bible changes! I was only just stating their mindset, trying to get into the heads of teenagers. Maybe they thought it was funny to include "definitions" that your average teenager would use, not realising that there is a place for such humor and a study bible is not that place.

That bible is a completely wrong-headed and mis-guided approach.......the fact that even they had to change their 1993 edition (and thankfully they did) just shows how far off that approach leads.

Its the PEOPLE that the gospel and Bible changes! It is excuses like: "I do not understand", "It is condemning me", "It goes against me, how is that love?!".

I would think that a teenager of average intelligence can handle reading the regular bible. I've heard of young children being able to read the KJV and having no problems understanding the language used. Apparently, bible publishers think our youth are incapable of understanding the Gospel message unless it's spelled out to them. I disagree. The Truth found in God's Word is exactly what they need to hear and read! With public schools and an immoral society teaching them about "political correctness" and that "anything goes", teens need to know what God says about sin, His loving solution to sin (via salvation through Christ), and the way that we should live. They also need to know that there are dire consequences to sin. Sugar-coated, watered-down, humorous, or sarcastic "study bibles" are not necessary. The KJV, NIV, and ESV are all very good translations and can be purchased at any big box store. Real bibles are what's needed! Our youths' souls are at stake. They need to hear the truth, whether they like it or not. We shouldn't be treating them like babies, or trying to lure them by getting on their level.

Can you show me from within this Teen Bible where they have changed the gospel to suit people? If you can point out to me a Bible verse that this Teen Bible has changed the meaning of to suit people, then I will be in agreement with you that this is not a good translation.

From what I saw. I think it was used as a way to get their attention. Because then it was followed by advice and Bible verses to back it up. I don't know if I am able to link it. But if you go to Amazon and type in name, it show a "look inside" and you can see the rest of the story so to speak. I am of the opinion that the OP has missed the real meaning with his cutting and pasting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From what they have posted so far, I see no prove that this Teen Bible has changed any Bible verses to suite it's readers. Now it seem this has all become "this is bad" and everyone seems to be just joining in with that without there being any real prove. If indeed this Teen Bible has made changes to Bible verse that change the meaning of the verse to make everyone feel happy, then that would be bad. But so far I have not seen any prove that this has happen. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
