I would even pay to see the video of the ESV translation committee if Tim and David Bayly were members. Here’s why: A Christian confesses his faith, today, when he stays married to the same woman until death. When he continues to name his race “man” rather than “humans” or “human beings.” When he chooses… Read More→
