The wretched sickness of Homosexuality continues to spread denomination
to denomination, church to church, and ministry to ministry resulting from the infiltration
of Homosexuals into seminaries, bible collages and bible schools beginning in the
1970’s. These since then have worked up the
ranks until they gained positions of control where they have more recently began
to exert their power to Homosexualize the whole of the
church – if it were possible. The other side
of the story here is the fear with which these churches and denominations operate
under so that none dare cast out the wolves within thereby bringing judgment and
a pox upon their entire denominational houses.
Here
is another example of what the evil fruit of having removed judgment from the church
produces. Those
that can not rightfully judge are not qualified to sit in Moses Seat in the church.

Two new major Bible translations being released
WASHINGTON (AP) — The
nation's Roman Catholic bishops are releasing their first new Bible in decades
as the season of Lent begins. The New
American Bible, Revised Edition, will be available starting on Ash
Wednesday, which falls this year on March 9.
The latest version contains a new translation of
the Old Testament — the first such new translation in more than 40 years. The New
Testament section had already been updated in 1986 and will not be changed
in the new edition.
The translation effort started 17 years ago,
prompted in part by the discovery of the Dead Sea Scrolls, which are the oldest
known texts of Scripture. A group of more than 50 experts changed language and
reordered passages to be closer to the original text and better reflect modern
usage.
Separately this month, Zondervan,
the publishing company based in
Zondervan says it has already sold 40,000 of the updated translation
as an electronic book.
Past attempts to remake the NIV for contemporary
audiences in different editions had been plagued by controversies about gender
language.
