Hello again - I'm not sure whether I have worded what I meant in the right way or not, or maybe you may have misunderstood what I intended to mean.
This is what I was attempting to communicate:
I do not agree with any (and certainly not) every cultral trend dictating what is to be written in anything that calls itself a Bible (e.g. TNIV). Because the Bible (as it stands in its preserved form) changes the hearts of the people who believe what it says (as it always has done) - thus creating a culture of its own (i.e. A true church).
I certainly do not accept the "kingdom now" Theology - I simply believe that the Word untouched does its own work - it doesn't need to be made relevant.
The philosophical ideas that are behind the new bible versions are done with a mentality of creating a new type of Christianity and this is why I posted the two links to illustrate that point.
I hope this has made things clearer.
God bless
PaulB
