    That statement is asinine.

    Yet again someone is rewriting and editing scriptures to agree with their political philosophy. Am I surprised? Nope, just surprised it took them this long to crank out a new version. But hey, there is plenty of historical precedent for it.

    I think it is also damned amusing.

    Will Christians claim this rewriting is the Word of God as well?

    First of all, though Ancient Greek language was fairly advanced, I'd say that modern language (especially in a polyglot language like English) is bound to be more technically developed due to time and influences. I think this statement disregards, or at least fails to account for, this idea.

    It also seems like a cover for people to rewrite the Bible from the original Greek to make it more suitable. ("Well... if they spoke modern English... they woulda said it like this..." Well, I'm glad you have enough self-esteem to redo the Bible... that must feel good.) :)
