Members No Nicolaitans Posted March 1, 2014 Members Share Posted March 1, 2014 Many years ago, I bought a "Classic Soul Winner's New Testament"...and that's what I used it for...to witness to people. I'm ashamed to say that's all I used it for...I never sat down and actually read it. Recently I've started reading through it, and I've found several words that are missing letters and even entire words that are missing. It's apparent that the Classic Soul Winner's New Testament was put out just as a soul-winning tool (and to make money ?), because not much care was put into ensuring that there were no typographical errors. Now...I want to say that I think it's a great tool. I love the size of it and the size of the font. If I remember correctly, the one I have might be a 7th Edition which I bought back in 1996 (or there about). I've gone to the website of the company that puts them out, but can find no information as to what the latest edition is or if previous typographical errors have been corrected. I'm wondering if anyone here uses (or has) a later edition than the 7th Edition, and if so, have you noticed any typographical errors, because I'd like to have another one. Here's a couple of the errors that I've found in mine...I'll highlight the typos... Acts 10:46 For they heard them speak with tongues, and magnify God. The answered Peter, It should read "then" answered Peter, There's another one in Acts 10, but I can't remember it off of the top of my head right now... 1 Peter 2:9 But ye are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, an holy nation, a peculiar people; that ye should shew forth the praises of him who hath called you out of darkness into marvellous light: It should read "his" marvellous light Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members wretched Posted March 1, 2014 Members Share Posted March 1, 2014 You may have hit a bad lot of them NN. I usually buy 5-10 at a time and give them out. I have two and checked your bad spots and they are correct. These were purchased several months ago from the Sword. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Standing Firm In Christ Posted March 1, 2014 Members Share Posted March 1, 2014 Better check the Ten Commandments and make sure it doesn't say, "Thou shalt commit adultery." (The "Wicked Bible" did this ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
