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.

I’m confused, does this mean we will not be meeting as a church on Sunday mornings, or are the cluster groups expected to meet at some other time in the week?

Questions and Comments summarised from the Comments Box

What’s the difference between a “cluster” and a housegroup (like we have now)?

Will Cells be simply of people within the church or also from outside?

Would people be allocated to Cells and Clusters or could they form their own?

How would we prevent Clusters becoming cliquish or stagnant? Would they need re-organising from time to time?

How often would Cells and Clusters be expected to meet?

What form of leadership, pastoral care, organisation and oversight would there be for the system as a whole or within the clusters?

If the emphasis is going to be on Cells and Clusters what form will the Congregation take?

How can we ensure that people who’ve grown up with a different approach to church still feel loved and valued in a new system of doing things? The structure itself will not achieve this.

[...] After the news of the conservative Bible, I wasn’t sure if I would ever find a stranger bible translation. Apparently a man by the name of Nick Coles has made the most incomprehensible translation by rewriting sections of the bible in cockney rhyming slang. [...]
