A new exhibit featuring a small selection of items from the Passages exhibit is currently under construction in the Palm Plaza area of the Creation Museum. The collection, which is sponsored by the Hobby Lobby chain of arts and crafts stores, features some of the manuscripts from the Green Collection.
The entire Green Collection is made up of more than 30,000 artifacts, including cuneiform tablets, Dead Sea Scrolls, unpublished papyri, and rare illuminated manuscripts. Additionally, the collection contains parts of the Gutenberg Bible, the Wycliffe Bible, and even tracts and Bibles of Martin Luther. For more information about the Passages touring exhibit, as well as the Bible museum that will open in Washington DC as a permanent home for the Green Collection, visit www.explorepassages.com. We are thrilled to be able to exhibit a small selection of some of these items at the Creation Museum....
Jim I'm not sure that there is a correlation between the Israelites worshipping the serpent and this display of ancient manuscripts. I'm pretty sure no-one is burning incense at the answers in genesis creation museum.
Well, my attack was on turning relics into something to be worshipped, Numbers 21 9 And Moses made a bronze serpent and set it on the standard; and it came about, that if a serpent bit any man, when he looked to the bronze serpent, he lived. 2 Kings 18 4 He removed the high places and broke down the sacred pillars and cut down the Asherah. He also broke in pieces the bronze serpent that Moses had made, for until those days the sons of Israel burned incense to it; and it was called Nehushtan.---NASB
Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary wrote: II Kings 18:4: 1-8 ... The brazen serpent had been carefully preserved, as a memorial of God's goodness to their fathers in the wilderness; but it was idle and wicked to burn incense to it. All helps to devotion, not warranted by the word of God, interrupt the exercise of faith; they always lead to superstition and other dangerous evils. Human nature perverts every thing of this kind. True faith needs not such aids; the word of God, daily thought upon and prayed over, is all the outward help we need.
I like a variety of versions, just not bad ones, q.v.,Comparing...

Well said Russ and I also agree with you. I use the NASB as well, but I am not an NASB only fellow. Your verse in Proverbs was right on and not only describes Jim, but those that are KJO folks as well - thanks.

Jim's independent. That's why he's strongly one sided. Even to versions.

There are some tracts of Luther that shouldn't be displayed, especially those done later in life.
Shelley Neese wrote: In the earlier years of his life, Martin Luther condemned the Catholic Church for its treatment of the Jews and deemed Jewish obstinacy toward conversion as reasonable given their torturous treatment at the hands of the papacy. In his article “Jesus Christ was born a Jew,” written in 1523, Luther sympathized with Jewish history, saying, “if I had been a Jew and had seen such dolts and blockheads govern and teach the Christian faith, I would sooner have become a hog than a Christian.”
