The truth of life is this, the fact of life you do not know is a step ahead of you
Believe it or not, The Holy Bible is the best thing that ever happened to mankind. The fact that you are ignorant of this is enough to make you sober.
The beauty of this Holy Book is that unlike others, it could be translated and transmitted in any form to make it easy for anyone's usage (matthew 24:14).
Coming to your claim, I ask, what do you really know about being a muslim? Is it the name or the fact that you visit the mosque on Fridays that makes you proud?
Well I dont want to condemn any religion but if you had known better, you would have run for the salvation of your life. Jesus is waiting to recieve you.
Now is the day of your salvation.

. This pidgin english translation is not on point. There are somethings u for leave as it was rather than try to create a joke factor in it. For instance ,' Jesus got up and calm down the wind'. By translation, you wrote ,' naim Jesus rise and arrange yawa' . How can "wind" be translated as "yawa". There are so many things that can be associated with yawa, but its needed we know the main thing that happened or was said in the bible instead of we trying to generalize the word. I still believe that some words in english should remain the way they are.

Bros, no de claim over holy for here. If u were born to see Pidgin as ur official language, u 4 complain?? Not all can read English, hence de translation of de bible to different Languages, in which pidgin is one cos we can communicate with it.

For those complaining about the Pidgin English version and also comparing it to the Koran they really need their heads examined.The original Bible was not written in English.Go to China and there is the version in mandarin same with France where it is written in French.For the koran which originally was written in Arabic now has the English version.I have a copy written in English.I used it for research.Bishop Ajayi Crowther first translated the Bible into Yoruba language,My Grand mother has the Igbo version.So why the criticism of my beloved pidgin Bible?You all complaining should emancipate yourselves from colonial slavery cause we all know the original Bible wasn't written in English.Btw Am proud to be a Warri boy and its a good news that my adopted father is part of this development

It is not. If the Bible had not been translated to English would you have known what is in it? If Martin Luther had not secretly translated the Bible from Latin to German, thereby making people to have access to it, what would have been the fate of christians who were prevented from knowing what was contained in it. The priest, with the knowledge of Latin, were the only ones that had access to it.

If I see the Bible, I will buy it. the holy book states that the gospel should be preached to the utmost part of the world. so it is not only on English speaking Countries alone the bible is meant for. that is why it was translated so that verious people and languages would understand it. U might have been privileged to read and write and understand perfect English. there are some who are not as privileged as you. the president of CAN was not thinking myopically. do not hate him. he's only carrying instruction from the holy book

if you are truly a christian and not a church-goer, then you will have everything to be proud of.

We are Christians and are also proud. Whether the Bible Is revised or not it still teaches us one thing which is Love for both friends and foes.

Yes o,atleast,how God understands all language and respects everybody that He will come so low to be like us,just to draw us to Himself!
Not like some other god that cnt speak or understand any other language bt ARAB and to make matter worse,u read it BACKWARD!
