So who is right? 

Jesus Christ is the only right answer...

• As a web designer I have to make decisions that effect many people. One for example: What screen resolution do I want a page to look good in? Since around 1995 I have always used a screen resolution of 1024×768.
• 
  When I would build a web page I made it look good in that resolution. I assumed that since I used it everyone else surely must also. I later came to realize then even as modern as we are around 45% of internet users at the time used 800×600. When I reduced my screen to 800×600 my web pages looked horrible.
• 
  I know several God fearing Christians that think reading a NKJV or NIV bible or going to a contemporary church is a sin straight from Satan. I have been told that Christian Contemporary Music is a sin and God hates it. These and other translations do not change any rule of faith or doctrinal issues. Truly the only difference is textual. The message is the same. I wish instead of giving a one word defense from one translation to another that they would read the whole verse.
• 
  My pastor pointed out a very pertinent verse relating to this:
  
  Though I am free and belong to no man, I make myself a slave to everyone, to win as many as possible. To the Jews I became like a Jew, to win the Jews. To those under the law I became like one under the law (though I myself am not under the law), so as to win those under the law. To those not having the law I became like one not having the law (though I am not free from God's law but am under Christ's law), so as to win those not having the law. To the weak I became weak, to win the weak. I have become all things to all men so that by all possible means I might save some. I do all this for the sake of the gospel, that I may share in its blessings.
  1 Corinthians 9: 19-23
• 
  Paul sure sounds like he goes to a contemporary church to me. If you ask me; all this: my bible is right or my church is right and yours is wrong only serves one purpose: division among Christians which results in the non-Christians seeing us as not knowing what to believe so why should they believe. Truly, where is the sin now and who looses?
• 
  Wisely I conformed and made my web pages change with each user's screen thus reaching out to meet people on their ground which resulted in an increase in the sites popularity.
  It is my prayer that we all see the unified goal, be a little more like Paul and win as many souls to the Lord as we can no matter how you translate it.

So many Religions!

RV thanks for another great lens. I'm an NIV man myself, but my wife is a NKJV because that's how she was raised. Welcome to the All Things Christian Group! Posted June 04, 2007

Forgiven Wow Connie, you know how to inspire! I just LOVE the squid Angel! Posted May 24, 2007

gods_grace_notes I love the KJV...I read it with dictionary, thesaurus, Strongs, and medical dictionary...all in very close proximity! It is God's word, he's proved it to me! The church is on the rise; and I'm happy to see a man like you at the forefront...Great lens! Connie Posted May 23, 2007

Forgiven Thanks Jennie! I prefer the NKJV but I also love the NIV. Posted May 17, 2007

Jennie.Harris Bible versions should not cause division BUT God's Word is inspired. Not every Bible version IS accurate to the original text. The NIV has more issues then many "easy to read" Bibles. I dislike it. Do a background check on your Bible, compare it to the original via Strong's but never fight over it. Posted May 11, 2007

Modest Needs 

This and every lens made by Forgiven (Scott Smith) proudly donates all proceeds to Modest Needs.

Founded in 2002, Modest Needs is an award-winning charity that works to stop the cycle of poverty before it starts for low-income workers struggling to afford emergency expenses like those we've all encountered before: the unexpected auto repair, the unanticipated trip to the doctor, the unusually large winter heating bill.

At Modest Needs, we believe that EVERY person has the power to make a difference. So, by choice, the work we do at Modest Needs is funded exclusively by the 'small change' donations of people just like you.

The average gift of these extraordinary people? Between $5 and $100 at a time.

Since 2002, our donors' 'small change' has stopped the cycle of poverty for 3651 individuals and families who stood to lose everything over a short-term financial emergency. But with your support, we could reach even more of the hard-working people who need our help the most.

Discover your power to change a life. Please join your friends and neighbors in supporting Modest Needs.

Because Modest Needs has earned the highest possible charity rating from the Better Business Bureau's Wise Giving Alliance, you can give with confidence, knowing that we won't abuse your kindness.

But more importantly, simply by working together in this very modest way, we can make sure that no hard-working person is ever forced to choose between taking a child to the doctor and putting food on the table.
