Sheerbliss Posted January 24, 2015 Share Posted January 24, 2015 Its good but lacks full concepts e.g re-invent the story around the context. Like was said previously about farmers telling Jesus to go fuck. Genieologies could be rewritten to say ' Lots of Incest from Adam to pantera then Mary fuckedva soldier and Jesus was born'. See what were getting at It would provide insights to the casual reader that they'd never hear in church and make it clear that the BJV isn't just a bunch of irreverence and fart jokes. One could also use footnotes to inform without changing any text; e.g., for the genealogy in Matthew, a footnote could be added, "See Luke for an completely different genealogy of Jesus." 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sheerbliss Posted January 24, 2015 Share Posted January 24, 2015 What I've gotten out of the BJV of Matthew is that Jesus wasn't meek or mild. He deliberately baffled crowds and talked down to his disciples, while pandering to them about how special they were. Further, believing in Jesus didn't seem to be a ticket to heaven: seeds that simply fell on poor soil don't grow, and so I take it that a lot of people (most) would be burned like refuse through no fault of their own. And Jesus said repeatedly (not in these exact words) that his way was for simpletons. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's a lot more work that I am prepared to do on my own right now. Just the changes I am making are time-consuming enough since I am doing it all manually. It's more fun that way, and I don't have to correct where "replace" hasn't worked properly. If you and monkeyman want to take on the task of changing the stories, I will consider your work and add it to the BJV. This should be a group effort anyway. It will be a better product that way, and more fun for everyone involved. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother Jeff Posted January 24, 2015 Author Share Posted January 24, 2015 I have a site online for the BJV now! The site needs some work, but it's ready for visitors. Check it out: http://bjvbible.com/ . I have everything that I have done so far online now. Please let me know what you think! Glory! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
themonkeyman Posted January 24, 2015 Share Posted January 24, 2015 I think this group should all get involved like you said as there is varying interpretations some funnier than others. Ive read 'the holy bible - best god damn version' and I love it. Defo follow those lines as opposed to replacing words.

Ellinas Posted January 25, 2015 Share Posted January 25, 2015 Perhaps one day I will hear a pompous pseudo intellectual (sorry - bible teacher) try using the BJV as a comparison text when seeking to reinforce some point that he thinks the KJV does not adequately cover... Well, I can dream. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brother Jeff Posted February 2, 2015 Author Share Posted February 2, 2015 I'm still committed to this project but... I am currently at a loss for what platform to use on the website for it. I am familiar with WordPress and I'm comfortable with it, but I'm not sure it's the best way to go. I would like the BJV to be online and searchable the way www.biblegateway.com is and other such sites are. But, I have no idea what software they use. Anybody have any ideas? Thanks.

francesco Posted February 2, 2015 Share Posted February 2, 2015 bro jeff to make your bible more false proof add a verse that stating that your bible is true something similar to christian bible version of All Scripture is inspired by God and is useful to teach us what is true and to make us realize what is wrong in our lives. It corrects us when we are wrong and teaches us to do what is right. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brother Jeff Posted February 5, 2015 Author Share Posted February 5, 2015 Therefore if any man be in Kryasst, he is a new creature: old things are magically passed away; behold, all things are magically become new. And all things are of The Holy Farter, who hath reconciled us to himself by the version of Himself known as Jesus Kryasst, and hath given to us the ministry of reconciliation; To wit, that The Holy Farter was in the Kryasst version of Himself, reconciling the flat world unto himself, not imputing their trespasses unto them; and hath committed unto us the word of reconciliation. Now then we are ambassadors for Kryasst, as though The Holy Farter did beseech you by us: we pray you in Kryasst's stead, be ye reconciled to The Holy Farter version of the Lard. For he hath made him to be the shit we did that pissed him off for us, who knew none of that shit; that we might be made the righteousness of The Holy Farter version of him in him.
