Not unto man's hands...

As a conservative and a Christian, I'm actually really appalled by this.

Apparently, a group of conservatives have begun a project to enforce Bible doctrine to align with conservative ideals and eliminate any hint of "liberal" language. That's absolutely ridiculous. Conservative ideals come from the Bible, but if suddenly we're going to flip the Bible upside down to better fit Political Right policies, then conservatism becomes self-serving rather than serving God.

This is by far the most liberal act any group of conservatives may take. Some of their issues in this project are okay, as far as the scope is to reveal the Bible as it was meant to be read. But there are several points of effort that try to nudge the Bible's narrative one way or another to favor personal views.

I know that there are plenty of very shoddy translations out there, and even my preferred NKJ doesn't do justice to the original texts and languages unless we do a contextual reading of the passages. But by recreating a translation based on our own language rather than the Greek and the Hebrew can only diminish the word of God. I've often accused liberals of reducing the New Testament to a mere "Social Gospel" (where the focus surrounds the interest of social acceptance and people rather than serving God) but this is exactly what this Conservative Bible Project is doing...
