Conservapedia bible translation project

There is a plan to translate the Bible conservatively without any Liberal Bias and Conservapedia, is apparently on the move to “conservatize” the Bible.There is a demand of totally conservative translation of the Bible to make a solid structure against liberal bias that is presented in the Green Bible.
While Conservapedia have objections about the liberal concept of this line that is used to argue against the death consequence and they said that this Jesus character sounds like a fundamental ethical dependent. They also assert on the need to replace some liberal words like “labor”.

Both the Green Bible and the nascent Conservative Bible project have room for both contemptuous and thoughtful criticism. It would be helpful for Sullivan to accept the charge of being a hypocrite easily.

Here are the guidelines for the new translation:

1. Framework against Liberal Bias: providing a strong framework that enables a thought-for-thought translation without corruption by liberal bias

2. Not Emasculated: avoiding unisex, "gender inclusive" language, and other modern emasculation of Christianity

3. Not Dumbed Down: not dumbing down the reading level, or diluting the intellectual force and logic of Christianity; the NIV is written at only the 7th grade level.

4. Utilize Powerful Conservative Terms: using powerful new conservative terms as they develop; defective translations use the word "comrade" three times as often as "volunteer"; similarly, updating words which have a change in meaning, such as "word", "peace", and "miracle".

5. Combat Harmful Addiction: combating addiction by using modern terms for it, such as "gamble" rather than "cast lots"; using modern political terms, such as "register" rather than "enroll" for the census

6. Accept the Logic of Hell: applying logic with its full force and effect, as in not denying or downplaying the very real existence of Hell or the Devil.

7. Express Free Market Parables; explaining the numerous economic parables with their full free-market meaning

8. Exclude Later-Inserted Liberal Passages: excluding the later-inserted liberal passages that are not authentic, such as the adulteress story

9. Credit Open-Mindedness of Disciples: crediting open-mindedness, often found in youngsters like the eyewitnesses Mark and John, the authors of two of the Gospels

10. Prefer Conciseness over Liberal Wordiness: preferring conciseness to the liberal style of high word-to-substance ratio; avoid compound negatives and unnecessary ambiguities; prefer concise, consistent use of the word "Lord" rather than "Jehovah" or "Yahweh" or "Lord God."
