Interesting comparison of the translation of certain terms in the KJV and the NIV. Everybody's got an agenda.
It sort of reminds me of how, in Story of the World, which is mostly a good history book, Catholics are "Christians" when they behave or display intelligence, and "Catholics" when they don't.
And, by the way, is not the masthead/title combo of that blog one of the best you've seen in a while?

Wow, that is fascinating! I still have a NIV kicking around from my pre-conversion days and I keep wondering what to do with it.

Haw! My teaches Art & Architectural History here in the Bible Belt. After a Medieval class, a student asked, “But where are the Christians?” My wife said, “You mean Protestants? They don’t show up for another 500 years.”

Hey, I put that up Tuesday night, just in time for you to like it. Those are two my kids about 20 years ago. It only occurred to me on Monday that the image goes well with the blogtitle.
