Making Merchandise of English Bibles
The situation today, where many translations all claim to be God’s Word, exists largely because of the amount of money to be gained by publishing yet another trendy translation of God’s unchanging Word. One can make a lot of money by making a catchy, clever translation of God’s Holy Word. Why does the English language need over two hundred translations when there are over 3,000 ethnic languages that do not have one word of Scripture? I suppose the money that should have been used to publish God’s Word in these languages has been used up on English language readers who want their ears tickled by yet another trendy translation. The fact that there are so many translations of the Bible in English, while 3,000 Bibleless nations have nothing, reflects a serious sickness in the spiritual condition of English-speaking Christians.
