Examples of some changes from 1978 to 2002: ``sons of God'' to ``children of God'' in Matthew 5:9, and ``a man is justified by faith'' to ``a person is justified by faith'' in Romans 3:28.

sounds reasonable to me. It's not as if they were playing with the original aramaic. I wonder how close the NIV comes to that?

The original Old Testament can be read in Hebrew and the New Testament in classical Greek.

 For religious people that do not care to study those two languages, correct translation should be made by the people who care. It may not be possible to translate meaning word for word, but the necessary accuracy could be achieved anyway by using multiple words, etc.

 The fact that someone would choose to distort the word of God based on the fleeting notions of modern politicall correctness shows me how much they (translators) actually believe what they are translating.

Apparently the word of God is more of a guideline than a rule.

  And the lord said. "Let me make a suggestion".

You guys are funny. PC is this, PC is that, as if PC was some 3 headed monster out to grab your souls. Try looking at the facts instead of the jargon.

What exactly bothers you about the examples I posted? Are there other changes that bother you more? Why not just buy the King James Version then?

Whenever my PC tries to get my soul is when I buy an iMac.
