Fun Interpretations

We find wit and wily Bible style, but take a min to do the proper thing. Interpretations are spirits and well I guess there is a rule...Test those suckars. (1 John 4:1{*1 see below}) and if you add or remove it, you will be the one who screws it (Rev 22: 18,19{*2 see below})

With this madness in mind, lezz play with a widely known and interestingly interpreted verse. Psalms Twenty Three: Like one thru part of, or half of three............or..........Pslm 23:1-2.5

NIV: The LORD is my shepherd, I shall not be in want. He makes me lie down in green pastures, he leads me beside quiet waters, he restores my soul...

King James: The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want. He maketh me to lie down in green pastures. He leadeth me beside still waters. He restoreth my soul....

The MSG: GOD, my shepherd! I don't need a thing. You have bedded me down in lush meadows, you find me quiet pools to drink from. True to your word...........,

The Act-Out Bible: Don't let anyone rock your boat! Maintain. It's all her for you. You have come a long way, by accepting God's gift of individuality, you will transcend barriers...(Gitelman, 1993)

The MacRancy's Family Fun Bible: Mayor Fat Mac has made MacRaneyland fun for all to enjoy! He allows us to play in the forest of Hot Pies, and splash in the gurgling fountain fo Icee-Frostees. He redeems my coupons...(Gitelman, 1993)

The Upscale Bible: Everything God make is mine for the taking! He's given me high yield money market funds for the short term and tax free investments to roll over into IRAs. He provides me junkets...(Gitelman, 1993)

The Emwood Park Community Bible: Why are you suck an ungrateful slob? Look around you, pe@#erhead! Look at all this good stuff dat God's freakin' given yous. You got the forest preserve to play softball, you got da 7-11 for beer..It makes you feel good, ya know? ..........(Gitelman, 1993)

The Gangbanger's Guide to God: The lord is one fly-@$$, hustler, gangsta, OG, pimp, mutha. Yo, check it out. G! He created the crazy freaks to give me play. He gives me schoolyards and playgrounds to bust caps in. He bails me out when my bakc's to the mat...(Gitelman, 1993)

The NRA Holy Bible: I spoke to the Lord, after a lunch date with Ava Gardner. I found him on my private range in San Fernando. He was happy with with way film was going, though He was concerned about DeMille's ability to capture the scale and wonder of the Red Sea parting. We chatted for several minutes, and as He popped off a few rounds, he said, "Chuck... with one of these .30-.06's you'll never want." Narration by Charleston Heston. (Gitelman, 1993)
