The Clear Word for Kids is now marketed as making the Bible "plain as pie," but anyone who has read it realizes how much it actually obscures the inspired Word of God with man-made doctrines.<BR/><BR/>I've blogged about your post at http://www.forthegospel.org/forum/articles/the_clear_word_debate<BR/><BR/>Thanks for a great blog post.<BR/><BR/>For "anonymous", I'd simply ask whether you believe the same about the New World Translation.

It's obviously not written to be a Bible. It's someone's interpretation, which is how a paraphrase is defined. This paraphrase speaks to many Adventists, which is obviously why it's selling a lot and has been published in many versions. I think this blogger is making mountains out of small dust specks to create sensation.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
