This does not demean women of the OT--«they» could not be circumcised. Paul goes on to say there is neither male nor female but we are all sons of God, and Jesus says we will all be like the angels in heaven--genderless. <br /><br />The flesh profits nothing--maleness or femaleness is a temporary estate for this time and place. <br /><br />Therefore, to use for preaching or reading a gender-neutral Bible today reveals a woeful lack of spiritual understanding--gender in this world reveals relationships in Heaven.Carolynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01739092264483620130noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-52912413020249030.post-65306754539246268492009-09-07T18:54:03.620+12:002009-09-07T18:54:03.620+12:00REB = Revised English Bible, a 1989 update to the ...REB = Revised English Bible, a 1989 update to the 1970 NEB (New English Bible.) <br /><br />What makes it so good? First of all it's written in the English of the British Isles, not American English. Second, it doesn't have an "evangelical" agenda. Third... well, the proof is in the reading. Compare a few passages in the REB with other translations.Gavin Rhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17965552923012880262noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-52912413020249030.post-57111446581415209572009-09-07T12:14:44.690+12:002009-09-07T12:14:44.690+12:00"the REB is an under-appreciated (even if a l...<em>"the REB is an under-appreciated (even if a little dated) triumph of the translator's art."</em><br /><br />What is "the REB" and why do you feel it is worthy of such praise?Prodigal Valentinehttp://gospelofmikjij.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-52912413020249030.post-90941050660132684592009-09-03T23:02:47.536+12:002009-09-03T23:02:47.536+12:00i'm seriously thinking about using your paragr...i'm seriously thinking about using your paragraph above (without the little bit that i'm wrong!) in the sidebar as an endorsement statement.<br /><br />;-)Jimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16698562143972216357noreply@blogger.com
