Should we dumb down the bible to bring it to younger readers?

Question

Atheist like it simple. That is the way they do things, while loving each other and eating ice cream. It's sick.

I took my granddaughter to a baseball game yesterday. It was fun watching men take the lead and control other men on the field, impressing with their leadership.

Then this thirtysomething woman started to eat a banana two rows in front of us! That kind of behavior is exactly what I am taking about. It's wrong and it's leading some very good men away from leadership, the kind of leadership that makes women very happy.

Maybe the way to get these people the bible is the dumb it down and tart it up?! I don't know anymore.

Frankly, I've thought about it and I'm a pretty good guy. You had me and you are losing me if you don't fight for me.

Answer 1

Mister you bring up some mighty good points. It is very unAmerican the way they carry on in public. At a ballgame no less where children go for all-American entertainment. How can you expect to set a positive example for children with all the degenerates making spectacles of themselves. We need to bring God back to the masses no matter what it takes
God bless you for having the guts to speak out against all the wrongdoings going on around you

Answer 2

I am really not sure what you are saying, but the question is should the Bible be dumbed down.
It's already been done. There's a slew on the market right now, most with the only objective of making a buck for the publishers.
The businesses have changed too many things in the church.

Answer 3

No simply by fact it already consists of tale lines comparable to young little ones memories. Eg. Jonah and the Whale = Pinnochio The fish and the loaves = the Magic Pudding Jesus death and coming alive returned and his twelve disciples = Snow White and the Seven Dwarves David and Golliath = Jack and the Beanstalk

Answer 4

The woman wasn't creating the problem.....if the men were ogling her the responsibility is on their hands...it has nothing to do with her.

The Bible is the word of God and doesn't need to be changed, dumbed down, nor tarted up. It is perfect and complete.

If you choose to walk away from it, that is your foolish choice. I can't fight for for your free-will..and neither will God intervene. You are not responsible for others actions nor are they responsible for yours....you are responsible for yourself. Ask God for help and pray for the other men...that's all u can do. The Holy Spirit is accountable for the outcome, not you...leave it in God's capable hands


God bless u,

Daniel

Answer 5

Is their something wrong with a banana? And sometimes you do have to take things and dumb them down so that people can understand. when a child starts pre-school you don't start teaching them words like secular or manifest. They have to be taught in a sort of dumbified way so that they will understand when they become older.

Answer 6

Is it possible to dumb the bible down more? There are plenty o' tarts in there too, BTW

I am going to love other people while eating ice cream and bananas!

Answer 7

first, the bible has already been dumbed down many times over! Second, women have always covertly been controlling men, Babylon, the system running the world is a woman!

Answer 8

You're chauvinistic.

And the bible already has been dumbed down for younger readers. In picture bibles and such. I actually own one from my Sunday school days.

Answer 9

I don't know, I think trying to eat ice cream while having sex seems a bit, I don't know messy because it melts too quick. Maybe some chocolate sauce and whip cream would be better.

*sticks banana in mouth* ;)

Answer 10

How could it possibly be dumbed down? It already has talking snakes, boats filled with pairs of all the animals, seas opening up, and fire and brimstone. Harry Potter has nothing on this fairy tale.
