Power Quote: The Conservative Bible Project

CommunistJesus1

Socialistic terminology permeates English translations of the Bible, without justification. This improperly encourages the “social justice” movement among Christians.

For example, the conservative word “volunteer” is mentioned only once in the ESV, yet the socialistic word “comrade” is used three times, “laborer(s)” is used 13 times, “labored” 15 times, and “fellow” (as in “fellow worker”) is used 55 times.

The Conservative Bible Project.

Maybe they can just remove Jesus entirely.

      I bet they’re going to replace the parable of the sheep and the goats with the lyrics to Barry Sadler’s “Ballad of the Green Berets.”

      I hear they’re also cutting that wild and crazy Gospel of John. That guy was obviously on hallucinogens. Or Divine Inspiration. It can be hard to tell. So everyone enjoy the Conservative Bible, with all three Gospels.

      They also (this is real) want to change every instance of “The Holy Spirit” to “The Divine Guide.” That will make the really awesome part about how the Holy Spirit descended as fire and made the apostles speak in tongues into something REALLY LAME.

      Without knowing it, American worshipers have moved away from Christianity and now embrace pre-Christian Gnosticism, asserts Bloom ( The Book of J ). In his most controversial book to date, the Yale professor defines “the American Religion” as a Gnostic creed stressing knowledge of an inner self that leads to freedom from nature, time, history and other selves. Every American, he writes, assumes that God loves her or him in a personal, intimate way, and this trait is the bedrock of our national religion, a debased Gnosticism often tinged with selfishness. The core of this odd, ponderous book focuses on Pentecostals, Christian Scientists, Jehovah’s Witnesses, Seventh-Day Adventists and especially Mormons and Southern Baptists–the two denominations Bloom believes will dominate future American religious life. He argues that mainline Protestants, Jews, Roman Catholics and secularists are also much more Gnostic than they realize. He identifies African-American religion, mystical and emotionally immediate, as a key element in the birth of our home-grown Gnosticism around 1800. Bloom is not likely to win many converts to his viewpoint.
