To make matters worse, it's even produced by the same people who produce UBS bibles. They had to make a special exception in their policy manual to do it.<br />And your wonderful 5-step process: has it ever been done this way in real life?The White Manhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06732782601569135839noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-373425720288771023.post-62823446061431635282009-08-22T08:31:04.470-06:002009-08-22T08:31:04.470-06:00No need.

They haven't been hit with the Sola Scriptura movement. I think as Protestantism emerges more strongly in Eastern Europe they are going to have to address translation issues in a serious way I think at that point they will end up part of the UBS/NA process. Their current position is purely traditional. <br /><br />That being said the 300m figure is very questionable it isn't even sourced on wikipedia. 225m which is coming from adherents seems semi justifiable but the real number is probably around 50m (if you are counting people who lets say attend church 2x+ / yr).CD-Hosthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00304535091189153224noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-373425720288771023.post-69076259663124632862009-08-21T19:16:43.671-06:002009-08-21T19:16:43.671-06:00As I understand it, the Eastern Orthodox Churches ...As I understand it, the Eastern Orthodox Churches (with 300 million adherents) do not use the UBS text. They rely on the Septuagint for the OT and the Byzantine/MT for the NT. Some churches even prefer the Aramaic Peshitta as the standard text for the NT.Qohelethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06888693459447442106noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-373425720288771023.post-62608048273827437822009-08-21T17:08:19.931-06:002009-08-21T17:08:19.931-06:00What an excellent post.
