The top-selling Bible in North America is undergoing its first revision in 25 years.

The update to the New International Version, the Bible of choice for conservative evangelicals, promises to reopen a contentious debate about changing gender terms in the sacred text.

The revision is scheduled to be completed late next year and published in 2011, officials said Tuesday.

Past attempts to remake the NIV for contemporary audiences have been plagued by controversies about gender language. Supporters say such changes are more accurate and make the Bible more accessible, but critics contend they twist meaning or smack of political correctness.

So God didn't mean what he said?

I can bet the first targets of revision will be 1 Timothy, chapters 2 and 3.

11A woman should learn in quietness and full submission. 12I do not permit a woman to teach or to have authority over a man; she must be silent. 13For Adam was formed first, then Eve. 14And Adam was not the one deceived; it was the woman who was deceived and became a sinner. 15But women[a] will be saved[b] through childbearing—if they continue in faith, love and holiness with propriety.

Can't have that stuff. Also:

1Here is a trustworthy saying: If anyone sets his heart on being an overseer,[a] he desires a noble task. 2Now the overseer must be above reproach, the husband of but one wife, temperate, self-controlled, respectable, hospitable, able to teach, 3not given to drunkenness, not violent but gentle, not quarrelsome, not a lover of money. 4He must manage his own family well and see that his children obey him with proper respect. 5(If anyone does not know how to manage his own family, how can he take care of God's church?) 6He must not be a recent convert, or he may become conceited and fall under the same judgment as the devil. 7He must also have a good reputation with outsiders, so that he will not fall into disgrace and into the devil's trap.

8Deacons, likewise, are to be men worthy of respect, sincere, not indulging in much wine, and not pursuing dishonest gain. 9They must keep hold of the deep truths of the faith with a clear conscience. 10They must first be tested; and then if there is nothing against them, let them serve as deacons.

11In the same way, their wives[b] are to be women worthy of respect, not malicious talkers but temperate and trustworthy in everything.

12A deacon must be the husband of but one wife and must manage his children and his household well. 13Those who have served well gain an excellent standing and great assurance in their faith in Christ Jesus.

I bet money they go after these verses in the NIV. With all the doctrinal schisms going on and widespread abandonment of God's word, they have to drag the Bible down with them. I will stick to the King James Version, thank you very much.

You have good sense. The current NIV is full of bad stuff.

One quick example. In the NIV it says to be angry is a sin. In the NIV it also says that Jesus was angry. So much for Gods perfect word.

In King James it is correct. To be angry without cause is a sin.

I'm with you. Stick with the King James.

Of course not, Odin is not one to mess with!
