Bible talk am for John3:16.....God like dis world too much na Him make hin send hin only pikin, wey him well well to die for our sins, and anyperson wey believe in dis him pikin no go die, and d person go get everlastin live...

This is purely soul winning ingenuity. Bravo. Reaching the people in the language they understand. How will that affect 'seriousness and deep reflection'?

its better than bombing people to accept any religion...

You are right,ppl cn do whatever they like with d Bible...it doesn't change d fact that JESUS IS LORD...it doesn't change God.
Btw...have been to 'core' villages where dis ppl dnt understand pure English bt only their local language...bt thanks for pidgin even though i dnt speak it well!
Whichever way,as long as Jesus is preached...no problem!

Kiaso:
hey look here i understand wot u are tryin to say but i tell u u dont need a pigin english bible to preach in pigin
Preaching with pidgin English means that you recognise there are people who only understand pidgin English, what do you then expect them to read after you might have brought them to Christ? It's we who understand English that view this version with a sense of humour, to those who see it as a Lingua franca it is a welcome development. Some people probably complained like this when the Yoruba and Igbo version was launched.

Some Years ago, Rivers state Television used to cast news in Pidgin. I do not know about now.but then it was really cool. we used to admire that lady that translate and read the news in pidgin because it was not easy.i think preaching in pidgin depends on the environment,listeners and the preacher.

The pidgin english bible wasn't made for people like you who don't have pidgin english as a first language. If you go into some of the creeks in Delta state, u will meet people who have ONLY pidgin as their language of communication besides their local dialects. To you, it may just be a language for jokes and comedy but to some others, its their only means of communication.

The original bible which was written in the traditional Hebrew language has been translated into thousands of languages over the world. In Nigeria we have the yoruba, igbo, urhobo, efik etc etc.. Now we have a pidgin english version and all you can think of is that the bible will be mis-translated?? c'mon!

Diasporan: 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 the best thing that happens to Nigeria dis year.
Btw, It gives me great concern when i hear or see pple comparing The Holy Bible to some other books like the qoran.
Let us set it straight, these are two directly opposite books. one is for peace while the other is for war and violence. one asked you to preach the gospel ofpeace to everyone, d other commads u to kill in d name of god.
if you ask me, i say one is Light to all Nations and other....
use ur tongue to count ur teeth.

igbeke:

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.

So, it is reality dt the si called christianity is nothing but a man made religion. The english version has a lot of contradictions whc had not been solved, still pidgin version dt will surely contain malancholic abberations is going to be launched. Guys let's seek for the truth. Take a look at Muslin Quran, since 1434 yrs ago, it remains intact. There are a lot of nonsense, both in the old &new testament, due to edition and revision day in day out.

Not only are you little minded, you cannot comprehend or reason out a lot of things. The original texts of the Bible were written in Aramaic - a language I am certain you are not aware of or ever heard of. As a result of limited knowledge and low level of reasoning, you find it easy to arrive at such a fallacy about how Christians have translated the Bible into as many languages that can be understood meaning that the doctrine is being manipulated. How sad.

A language is a TOOL for communication. The way you view it does not matter at all as I am sure you have seen the Bible in several Nigerian languages. So how justifiable is your claim about manipulation of doctrine simply because it has been translated to a language to enhance the spread of the Gospel? Next time, before you show how ignorant you are, read other knowledgeable comments otherwise keep your tardy and limited knowledge and level of reasoning to yourself.
