Amen, Bro. Jerry.
Last weekend we went to a local Christian bookstore to get our recently purchased KJVs engraved with our names. It's a huge bookstore and there were plenty of people there looking at all of the modern versions (thankfully the KJV still sells well, so a good amount of wall space is for KJVs). I was just thinking how these people obviously thirst for God's word, because they are spending anywhere from $50 to $150 on a "bible" bound in leather that will last them a long time. But they are quickly deceived into buying something false. It's bad enough the NAS and NIV sell well, but to see someone pick out a TNIV really gets me. (I never thought the TNIV would sell well, even I was surprised at how quickly people "got over" the obvious problems with making a "gender neutral" "bible".) I mean, they are going to the trouble of spending their money on something so obviously they do care, but they end up with a complete counterfeit that isn't going to help their walk at all.
