KJV-Only Pastor Tests Positive For NIV

HOLLY SPRINGS, MS—In a somber announcement, Pastor Philip Wallace confirmed to his congregation at Hartford Ave Fundamentalist Baptist Church, AV1611 Wednesday evening that he has tested positive for NIV.

The man has pastored the congregation of seventeen people for the past thirty years, staunchly defending the purity of the Scriptures as handed down to mankind in the Authorized Version, but confessed he may have contracted NIV while “experimenting” with other translations during his college years.....(click here to read the rest)

I can see the Catholic equivalent headline:

When if anything, it was viewed as too non-traditional when it came out (the same as the NRSV was). You wouldn't find traditionalists quoting from it back then. I find it really, really cool though that Martin Luther King Jr. used it for his Bible quotes in his books (although I believe he owned a prized KJV as well).; January 11, 2018 at 10:04 AM

Jim said...: Hmmm. I get the "humor", but with the social landscape, and a CNN news story today (1/11/18) of a pastor in Tennessee apologizing for a sexual encounter with a teen, 20 years ago...I wonder how appropriate is such a "fake story". Just wondering.; January 11, 2018 at 11:55 AM

Prayer of Thomas Merton

My Lord God, I have no idea where I am going. I do not see the road ahead of me. I cannot know for certain where it will end. Nor do I really know myself, and the fact that I think that I am following your will does not mean that I am actually doing so. But I believe that the desire to please you does in fact please you. And I hope I have that desire in all that I am doing. I hope that I will never do anything apart from that desire. And I know that if I do this you will lead me by the right road, though I may know nothing about it. Therefore will I trust you always, though I may seem to be lost and in the shadow of death. I will not fear, for you are ever with me, and you will never leave me to face my perils alone.
