This article informs us of a “Bible” being produced that includes pictures of Hollywood stars. Macleans’s magazine published an article here about the very same thing.  They are being published in magazine format, as befits a book without a spine.  These new versions are marvellous example of our jellyfish “christianity.”  Floating on the winds of “new doctrine,” drifting with the ebb and flow of the post-modern tides,  Athenian in their lust for relevance (Acts 17:21): Our Christian culture has become nearly indistiguishable from the worlds.

“There are many different versions of the Bible; I don’t see why we can’t have one,” said Max Mitchell, who directed the science fiction comedy Horror in the Wind, in which an airborne formula invented by two biogeneticists reverses the world’s sexual orientation.

“I got the idea for the Princess Diana Bible from Horror In The Wind,” he added. “After the world becomes gay, religious people create The Princess Diana Bible, which says that gay is right and straight is a sin. Then they burn all the King James Bibles.“(emphasis mine)

This preacher is sick of the dilution of God’s Holy Word.  I am outraged by the notion of a merger of popular culture and the Bible, to say nothing of a sodomite bible.  Let’s make a Nazi Bible, a Communist Bible, or the Bible designed for pornographers.  How about a genocide edition or a special pedophilia version?  It makes me SICK! I cannot even guess at the depths of God’s revulsion. His Word has always stood apart from EVERY popular culture, what makes our enlightened theologians heretics think that this great civilization of ours is any better?

It is also illuminating to see the hatred reserved for the King James Bible, an unreserved hatred born of the knowledge that it reveals our state, rebukes our sin, and reveals His Son. There is no great hatred for the NIV, ASV, Green Bible, or The Message. and why? John 7:7  The world cannot hate you; but me it hateth, because I testify of it, that the works thereof are evil.

It is time to decide:  Are you going to swim against the tide?

Or float with the jellyfish…
