If it’s Saturday, it’s a humorous post…
For this week, I thought me might examine the fusion of bible translations and pop culture… What if the bible translations were songs? (I don’t listen to secular music, so I’ve simply linked to them….)
NRSV – John Lennon’s anthem against heaven, religion, etc…
The Message – The song about the yellows and being mellow…
KJV – Generally anything by the Gregorians.
T/NIV – Well, it is a hopeful tune, but unfortunately, simply not true…
HCSB – The Baptist Bible and the Baptist Song
NLT – While I would choose this one, although this one might work.
ESV – Well…. I ain’t telling you.
I thought the first few lyrics of the TNIV song applied to you and your KJV!
THIS IS BRILLIANT! Just listened to the NLT!!!
NRSV – John Lennon’s anthem against heaven, religion, etc…
Bah… 😛
Craig… you are up WAY too early….
But, have you listened to the ESV?
Tell me about it…
I promise (no I don't) that you will get more sleep as you baby gets older (no you won't because it will always be something. Then, you'll have another one and the routine will start over. If memory serves, your baby is a girl… meaning that while you made get some sleep between the ages of 8 and 12, after that, it gets restless)
ESV Is outstanding!
When I opened YouTube, while the NLT's “Everything is Beautiful” was playing, there was an ad beside the video for … well … a non-Christian religion dating site!!
Well done on the music!
Thanks, Gerard!
The TNIV song would be better if it was the “Alien Song” version of “I Will Survive”.
hahahahhahahahaha
I listened to the ESV for a good chuckle. That should also be the anthem for the bibliosphere!
Okay I really need to upload a photo of myself, cuz I really don't like that masculine avatar. Ugh.
hahhahaha. I figured you might like it, Sue! (Actually, in my the back of my mind, your issue with the preface was what triggered the song).
I have no clue why WordPress/Facebook etc… always use a masculine avatar as the default.
I feel a lot better (I really don't) after hearing that.
Good (great!)
Thanks for thinking of me!
Okay, enough ESV bashing. 😀
Well, we could move on to the Message…but that's too easy.
What? Me? The ESV?
Oh, SING IT, GLORIA! Woo, girl!
hahahahhahaha
