TALK ABOUT SICK! mad mad mad mad

I opened the screen this morning and it was the frist thing I saw. eek TOTALLY DISGUSTING! GOD have mercy on their souls and all the people that will fall for this. confused It says long awaited, I want ot know by who? So sad frown I can't believe Thomas Jefferson would have thought or done something like this. I guess with the way the world is today, it should have been expected. Honestly, I think this is as low as it gets.

You know I have all sorts of thoughts about this so called bible and this statement, none of which are 'uplifting', how does it uplift women? It only tears down the world! mad .....
"This long-awaited revised text of the Gospels makes the moral message of Christ more accessible to many, and more illuminating to all," says Billie Shakespeare, vice president for the publisher, in a statement. "It is empowering. We published this new Bible to acknowledge the rise of women in society."

They have a poll going on WND about it, the link is at the bottom of this page.

TESTING THE FAITH
Was Jesus Christ really a woman?
New version of Gospels changes gender of 'Son of God' to female
Posted: June 3, 2005

� 2005 WorldNetDaily.com

A publisher is touting a new edition of the Gospels that identifies Christ as a woman named Judith Christ of Nazareth.

LBI Institute says its version, Judith Christ of Nazareth, The Gospels of the Bible, Corrected to Reflect that Christ Was a Woman, Extracted from Matthew, Mark, Luke and John, takes Thomas Jefferson's edited Gospel one step futher by "correcting" the gender of Christ and God.

"This long-awaited revised text of the Gospels makes the moral message of Christ more accessible to many, and more illuminating to all," says Billie Shakespeare, vice president for the publisher, in a statement. "It is empowering. We published this new Bible to acknowledge the rise of women in society."

WND sought comment from the LBI Institute's Stephen Glazier, but he did not return messages.

The new version, according to the publisher, revises familiar stories, tranforming the "Prodigal Son" into the "Prodigal Daughter" and the "Lord's Prayer" into the "Lady's Prayer."

A passage compiled from Luke 2, with corresponding verses at the beginning of each sentence, says: "4 And Joseph went to Bethlehem. 5 To be enrolled with Mary, his wife, who was then pregnant. 7 And she brought forth her firstborn child. 21 And her name was chosen to be Judith." ......

Is this a joke? It sounds like something out of MOnty Python's Life of Brian or something. What are things coming to?

LORD have Mercy!!

Where are these (adjective not proper to be written) people think they are taking us??

Following their ideas I bet they have not changed Satans name into "Satana" or something similar...

I wonder what would happen to them if they intended to change Muhammad's gender in an Islamic country?

All Christians must join against this blasphemy.

A fatwah (basically a death warrant) - ask Salman Rushdie.

Muhammad and Jesus Christ are not comparable. It would be more like saying that Allah was just one of many false gods, which in fact he may have been.

Why are you just getting upset now?

Thomas Jefferson revised the New Testament in his lifetime, taking out all references to the miraculous.

After that, any other blasphemy is to be expected.

Jefferson was not a Christian, as many seem to think. (Nor, obviously, are the perpetrators of this work of fiction)

Gaudior, none too fond of Jefferson, either

There have been many faulty Bible translations throughout history. Even the Jehovah's Witnesses have their own inaccurate version of the Bible. Bibles come and go, just like this latest one will. As soon as Christ established his Church, Satan found those who would try and tear it down. Nothing has changed.

You do not have to wonder, I have the clear answer.
You don't have to be in an Islamic country to be killed my a muslim for insulting in anyway Islam or mohammad.
Search the cnn.com, yahoo.com, bbc.co.uk or any other news site for keywrods such as [ "killed by muslim" ] and you will have tons of news and articles from all around the world.

few years ago the Israeli cable company (MATAV) broadcasted a porn movie having Christ as the main pornstar. The same day this movie was broadcasted the native Christians of this land made me proud as a Christian (I was young then, and was not that much of a Christian.) - many of them choose the peaceful way for fighting (cutting the cables and moveing to a healthier cable company) and many others made the cable company pay millions of shekels (they vandalized every piece of networking equipment they could reach - the cable company guys could not fix them for over 6 months in some places and you can guess why).

Another thing happened when Haifa Museum decided that a naked woman on a cross (clearly representing Christ) is an art. Thousands gathered that day and almost teared down that whole bloody building down.

Now I am not saying that using force is right. But sometimes it is the only thing that works.

My sister says that the Apostle John's name was really Joanna and so that proves that women were among those ordained to become priests.

She would probably believe the article you posted Pani Rose. Lord have mercy on her!

The ridiculousness, of anyone considering this a serious work and publishing it, is only outdone by the thought that anyone would purchase it.
