I agree with you. Although I am not a Christian myself, a close friend of mine is a missionary and he frequently stresses the importance of making his translations accessible. If it is the purity of God’s word others are concerned about, I suggest they learn Hebrew and Greek.

Hi Folks. It’s Mike here, the author of the Bible in Cockney. Great to read all your comments, shame some have to resort to foul language….The God I believe in is someone who wants to communicate to all of us…for some people, God has spoken to them through the Bible in Cockney..which is lovely to hear. Ive had lovely letters from folk in prison who have never ‘given a toss’ about religion, the Bible etc…but when they came accross the Cockney Bible, they thought it was a great laugh, but at the same time, the message of Love still got through to them…that’s all that matters to me. It’s not a replacement to the King James or Good News version, it’s only an alternative that will appeal to some folk. I don’t mind all the criticism..foul language is a shame…little ignorant really…but no matter, God loves you all………Cheers me ol’ chinas!!!

Okay one, there is absoulty no need to swear. Not only is it inappropriate, but also it makes you look like the idiot.

Second, Jesus taught his follower’s to love and respect all peoples, including homosexuals. I personally believe that the most of the laws given in the old testerment were written for that time, and that we should now follow the laws Jesus gave us.

Finally, if you care to look, there are plenty of significant figures out there who were both Christian and intelligent (Sir Isaac Newton, Winston Churchill, Arthur Eddington, ect).

Typical Atheist. No respect for other belief’s, and thinks that all religions are out to con people, and also likes to swear a lot when he/she can’t come up with a proper argument.

this is a brilliant way to take a million year old text and turn it into a mordern day text.

I think it is an excellent version to reach those persons that maybe otherwise would not know the truth, the life and the joy of the Gospel of Christ.

We’ve got to remember that God speaks in every languages and, for Him, a standard english is not better than Cockney. Actually, Cockney is part of our culture, and I do think that God loves it!

Thanks!
Greeting from Chile!

This is great. You Christians are so uptight and worried about nothing. Why do you think that King James’ language ought to convey the language of your faith? Study a bit about politics and history and open your mind a bit.

Hi, I’m a Christian Aussie with British Ancestory that does not want Cockney to die out! This is a great cultural document, but I agree, it needs to be used with care.

I feel I have to disagee with you tom. I think this is potentially a great way to get people interested in Christianity. In this modern age, the good old text of the bible is sadly not going to be very appealing to the younger generations. Here is a version that does carry the essential truths, that is also fun to read, and, at least for those who understand cockney rhyming slang, easy to relate to.

And you all call yourselves followers of our Lord Jesus Christ?? You should be ashamed of yourselves thinking that this ‘Bible’ is any good at all. Yet another counterfeit, money making publication, with absolutely NO love of God in it at all.
