Reply #63: You sure Rolling Stone rejected this ad for the reason you claim?

This is a NEW Translation of the Bible. The Right wing HATES new translations for such translations often undermine what the Right Wing believes the Bible says. The Right Wing prefers the King James version of the Bible for it was written around 1610 with intentions t uphold the ruling monarch of that time. Subsequent it was used by the Puritans to overthrow (and execute) that Monarch's son and the English language changed to make the King James version of the bible to reflect both events. Notice I said the English language CHANGED not the King James Version of the Bible nor what is in th Bible (For example ye, thees and the whole informal text of the English language disappeared except in the King James Version of the Bible).

These changes in the ENGLISH language has made the King James version of the Bible "Non-biblical" in places. It was these problems with the changes in language is why the Catholics disliked the use of regular language instead of Latin for the bible. Use of Words change over time and such changes can lead to complete change in the meanings of a passage. Using Latin and Greek minimized that effect.

On the other hand the Right Wing use many of these passages to support their own Right Wing Agenda and HATE it when a New Translation undermine their Right Wing Agenda. Thus they are many magazines and Newspapers who will not take in Ads for New versions of the Bible SO TO KEEP THE RIGHT WING HAPPY THAT THE ONLY "REAL" BIBLE IS THE KING JAMES VERSION. It is this later rationale that I believe is the reason for the Rolling Stone's refusal to take in this Ad, NOT that the Rolling Stones oppose the Bible or religion, but the Rolling Stones does not want to offend the Right Wing in offering a new Version (a Non-King James Version) of the Bible.
