The next #1 Selling Bible

Interesting to read about the ESV, at one time I would rush out and buy every new Bible edition released, then 18 months ago I returned to the KJV and I have never enjoyed my reading and Bible study so Much for many years.
It poses the question for me, do we keep developing new versions of The Bible and in the end do we lose the real impact?

I am glad for all the comments this post has generated.
While some still love the KJV or the AV1611 as some King James Onlyists prefer, I understand the hesitance to embrace yet another translation. However, the ESV is different. The website for the ESV speaks for itself.
Just today a friend of mine told me that he was attending a gathering of local ministers and every one of them have switched to the ESV. This is not a herd mentality, it is that many Believers in Christ have recongnized the need to have one translaiton in the pulpit and the same translation in the pew and yes the same translation in the home. Let's not forget having the same translation in the seminary as well. This can happen and is happening with the ESV. It is not that it is new, it is clear and is as literal as possible.
Obama supporters act as if the polls are a true reflection of what's going to happen on November 4th. When you don't have an actual record to run on ... and all you can do is point out problems, and blame others, as Obama has, you have to rely on gimmicks that have nothing to do with your actual ability to lead ... like accusations of racism ad nauseam ... like early voting ...busing and indoctrinating homeless people on the way to the polls ... photo ops with big crowds ... spending 4 to 1 on advertising ... having the media in the tank ... having Hollywood in the tank, having Acorn in the tank ... and, having 98% of all black voters in the tank. But, all of these things are nothing more than a fabricated perception. They have nothing to do with a person's experience, or ability to lead. They just reveal a candidate who will say, or do anything to get elected. That's why the Obamabots are so worried. That's why Obama is telling his disciples not to get over confident. That's why the Obama campaign tries real hard to make it look like Obama has already won ... just like they did in the run against Hillary in the primaries. I happen to believe there are legions of people who are going to vote for McCain on November 4th ... unlike the 'in your face' Obama supporters, November 4th is when the McCain supporters will express themselves. Keep America safe and strong, elect McCain/Palin on November 4th.
THE PERFECT STORM FOR A DEPRESSION ...
A far left Media ...
A far left President ...
A far left Congress ...
A far left Senate ...
eliminates all the checks and
balances that our democracy is based upon.
A vote for Obama is a vote for voter fraud,
a corrupt media, and the road to Socialism.
God Help Us !!!




Hi,
My name is Ben Hurst, and I'm a junior at Washington U.
I run a blog called The Happy Conservative, whose purpose is to document and expose liberal hegemony on campus. Specifically, I'm looking to create awareness about political correctness and intolerance on campus. I was rejected in the student newspaper, and it's time to assert a conservative presence on campus.
I'm looking for contributors across many campuses. I am willing to coordinate and promote the blog, but I'm looking for quality conservative contributions from students across many campuses. Please take a look at the site and offer comments, advice, or let me know if you'd like to become a contributor.
We're changing the world here.
Thanks so much,
Ben
