Is this for real? Calling John the Baptist "The Dipper"?? Is anyone else reporting on it?

I guess if a person's been depressed for sometime they could read it for a good laugh.

I don't understand why anyone would want a modern language Bible or a "new, fresh and adventurous" translation.

When I've tried to read this "translations" I don't get far. They are not the word of God.

C'mon, Applepansy. Reading Mark 1:10-11 as

"As he was climbing up the bank again, the sun shone through a gap in the clouds. At the same time a pigeon flew down and perched on him. Jesus took this as a sign that God's spirit was with him. A voice from overhead was heard saying, 'That's my boy! You're doing fine!'"
has a certain panache to it.

Is this a NEW FOUND MAN RELIGION is using such a book? Sad....just plain sad. I can see where Nephi told us in the last days of the many churches, then became just one BIG MASSIVE church, against the church of GOD.

Holy Joes?

I can understand modern language translation, if you aren't used to KJV English it can be a little confusing and daunting both, couple that with if you don't enjoy reading or don't read very well I can see the desire. Heck, I've talked to more than one member who wished there was a modern English BoM and this is people who grew up with thee, thou, and it came to pass and the like.

The niche/gimmick translations I don't get so much though, while they are more entertaining and hip that's not why I read the scriptures. I'm sure somebody with a better understanding will be along to explain it though.
