Two issues are addressed on this edition. Attempts to impose a modern ethic over Scripture results in a whacked translation of 1 Corinthians 6:9 for the New RSV. Here is how worldview impacts language and translations of the Bible. Bottom line. . . human languages must bend to the biblical worldview, and better translations should follow. But, what happens when the Bible and its translations are made subject to the worldviews of post-Christian or anti-Christian cultures? Then, we ask the question, to what extent should we deal with arguments and polemics? When conservatives are marked more by what they hate, than what they love, we have the problem of Ephesus. We are called to hate. . . the deeds of the Nicolaitans, whoever they were. But, more importantly, we are called to love. . . Jesus.
