WELS NNIV Promotion Continues. Brett Meyer Answers

WELS Communication Services is sending this broadcast to you on behalf of the Translation Evaluation Committee— Oct. 25, 2012 Dear Brothers in Christ, The Translation Evaluation Committee has completed compiling the raw data from an extensive side-by-side review of three Bible translations—the English Standard Version (ESV), the Holman Christian Standard Bible (HCSB), and the New International Version 2011 (NIV11). The study involved a wide variety of WELS pastors to review and evaluate the different translations for potential use in WELS publications. The review process was distributed in April 2012 to 102 reviewers, and the results are now available on the WELS Web site.

The NNIV is clearly the only choice WELS can go with according to the three "carefully" selected review groups. (W)ELS laity who have studied the NNIV translation and see how blasphemous Moo's Methodist, Baptist, Jewish, Catholic, Pentecostal translation is, and vomited in reaction, should brace themselves for a lifetime of that wretched excrement being force fed them by their "Leadership". Leadership which identifies the Church of the Antichrist to be Christian. And big surprise because it's the same leadership which has anathematized One Justification solely By Faith Alone in favor of their new gospel (UOJ) of God's divine verdict of forgiveness and righteousness without faith worked by the Holy Ghost graciously through the Means of Grace. UOJ is faithless forgiveness. God's grace and the righteousness of Christ for the forgiveness of sins but not salvation. UOJ blasphemes Christ, the Holy Spirit and God the Father. May the Lord reward them according to their words and works. And may the Lord continue to strengthen and preserve his Church on earth through the continued preaching of Christ's pure doctrine as clearly taught in Scripture and faithfully explained in the Christian Book of Concord. *** GJ - The numerical data is just part of the process. They will tell everyone how popular the NNIV is with the newly brainwashed pastors, and people will tire of the discussion and go along with it. --- Brett Meyer has left a new comment on your post "WELS NNIV Promotion Continues. Brett Meyer Answers...": Per the Summary of the Numerical Ratings: Question Which translation was ranked best regarding acceptability? Best or tied for best - 82% of all reviewers ranked the NNIV the best. 26% ranked HCSB the best. 10% ranked ESV the best (BM - McCaininites will be furious!) Of the MLS and MLC professors, Synod admins, District Presidents and publishing house editors in group #1 there were 91% which ranked the NNIV the best with the HCSB coming in second with 15%. Of the WELS pastors who bowed low to the Synod during its Jan 2012 translation workshop in group #2 there were 74% which ranked the NNIV as the best translation. Of the green and recently brainwashed MLS graduates 82% ranked the NNIV as the best translation. *** GJ - Tolja. I recall the original vote yielded about 16% wanting the NNIV. Keep voting until they agree. Then announce it as the overwhelming favorite. --- solafide (http://solafide.myopenid.com/) has left a new comment on your post "WELS NNIV Promotion Continues.

I'd give anything to be at Synod Convention (@ MLC) next summer. I guarantee you that there will be a massive push to approve the NIV2011 since "We can't wait anymore!!!!" and "We need to stop holding NPH and others hostage to these endless discussions on translations."
