Re: New International Version

Zondervan includes Oneness Pentecostalism in their Guide to Cults book. I find that a lot more insulting then their parent company publishing trash. Walmart sells pornographic material, I still shop there. There are just not enough businesses that support Christian ethics and morals anymore to be able to avoid using some ungodly company but I don't have to support one that deliberately calls my faith a cult.

Oh and I like The Christian Bible and the NASB.

And the Bible is more gender neutral then one might think if they were spoon fed the KJV

Really....porno at Walmart?
Never saw it, but I will ask next time I'm in there!
If they do, I will never shop there again. Period.

What do you consider pornographic?

My opinion is that R rated movies with full frontal nudity and simulated scenes of sexual intercourse are pornographic and yes they sell them and they are not even hidden in a back room. Raunchy magazines with nearly naked models showing much more than could ever be construed as biblically decent... they have those too, right on the front check out counters. My point is that just about every business is worldly and controlled by profit. If you banned all that are unethical, etc. you would be hard pressed to buy food, clothing or fill up your car.

It is one of the reasons I grow nearly all my own food. I do not agree with big Ag poisoning humans to turn a profit, or with animals being tortured to feed me. So I am not saying don't take a stand but realize that things like pornography go much further than little places with a back room and if you really want to make a statement against pornography with your money you will have to sacrifice past just not buying a certain version of the bible. Indeed it will affect where you shop, what you watch, etc.

So if what you described as pornographic at Walmart is true pornography, the pray tell what description do you reserve for true Full <thunka thunka thunka> Porn? It is like the age old question, if you call everyone you disagree with a Nazi, then what do you call a real Nazi when you see one?
