You can't eliminate the main charcater Jesus Christ and expect Christian's to not get upset. The word has been being told for many years about Jesus, it's not up to these people to change or omit the name of Jesus.

Is respect becoming a one way street and Christian's need to get off the street?? "Do unto others as you would have them do to you" is a good one we should all follow.
It's always been a fairy tale book. Plus, the stories have been translated again and again. Stories have changed, events altered, meanings skewered. What makes this one so bad?

And Jesus wasn't left out in this translation.

Sheesh, people, can you at least try to find out the bare minimum about a topic before you start spouting off opinions on it?

Did you read the linked article? They did not leave Jesus out.

Some samples of "The Voice" translation:



The Voice Translation
Matt 1:21
She will have a son, and you will name Him
Jesus, which means “the Lord saves, because this Jesus is the person who will save all of His people from sin
Mark 1:1
This is the beginning of the good news of Jesus, the Anointed One, the Liberating King, the Son of God.

Why do they want to keep changing the word of God to their own understanding?

ROFL. A politically correct Bible so as not to offend those that don't believe in God

Yes. They are omitting "Christ" as in "Christian."

The main message has never changed and this one wants to do just that..........

BS. You do know there were Jewish Christians who didn't call themselves Christians? That the word is a Greek one used as a translation of the Hebrew "messiah"? And that it's not a word used by Jesus (at least not in what's written)?

If you had to explain to someone who Jesus was, and you merely answered "he is Christ!" what information have you just imparted to a person? What does it mean?

Christ doesn't mean "Son of God", either. Christian theology believes Jesus is both Messiah (Christ) and son of God, but they are not identical concepts and there was considerable debate about the latter in the early days.
