[Faith-talk] New NIV and the Lord's Prayer

[Joshua Lester]

The www.apostolicnews.org article was talking about gender-inclusive
language. The changes from father, to mother, in the Lord's prayer,
and the Judeth Christ are from a different translation. I don't know
the name of it right off, but Jack Van Impe mentioned it on a program
a few years ago. CRI, (Christian Research Institute,) said something
about the original NIV. "In my father's house, are many rooms." That
is a mistranslation of the greek. "In my Father's house are many
mansions" is the accurate translation. That's why I stick with the
original KJV. Blessings, Joshua
