July 12th, 2008

Mumbai (ANI): An ?Indianised? version of the Bible released in India has become a huge hit among the Christian community here.
The Bible has proved to be extremely popular among the Catholics in Mumbai where over 15 000 copies were sold out within 10 days of its release.
An interesting feature of this Bible is that it has drawn references to other religions like Hinduism, Buddhism and Sikhism.
?What made it special because they have also drawn the Indian mythology into it. Its not only based on Bible all like you know foreign standards,? said Corin Mendonsa, a buyer of the book.
Another interesting thing about the book is that it depicts Mother Mary and other characters in typical Indian clothes.
?I wanted to buy only one copy, but after seeing the presentation, brought five copies. I felt happier because the pictures that are given are very impressive,? said Father Wilset, another buyer.
According to the catholic community this Bible is getting a good response from the market.
The new Bible, which has about 2,200 pages, costs just 250 Rupees. (ANI)

In other words this version of the Bible really isn't the Bible!

Reminds me of some of the "Africanized Jesus" stuff I've seen in the past.

They change Christ, and His message, in order to appeal to specific races, cultures, sexes, etc.

Christ and the Bible are for all people. His message is one and the same to the Indian, the African, the Brit, the Eskimo and all others.

Presenting "another Jesus", and changing the Bible message is the work of the devil. Only by turning to and trusting the One True Christ can people be reconciled to the Father.
