Summary
The author shares a striking comment from an anonymous reader about the biases of modern Bible translations, particularly the NIV, and their open intention to water down certain aspects of the Holy Scripture. The commenter, who attended a seminary, claims that the translators openly discussed and aimed to sanitize the Bible for general accessibility, and the author requests documentation for the statements.
