Like WL's ministry, it is certainly superior to what I would have done, had I tried. But I didn't try.
So I don't want to seem to be some critic sniping from the sidelines. I doubt I would have done better.
But my point was that in putting out a new version of the Bible, the LSM as the personal publishing arm of the Bible teacher WL, and WL himself, were exposed as rank amateurs, and in way over their heads. Some of it is decent, some is mediocre, and some is frankly awful. They had absolutely no business in attempting a new English version of the Bible, except to 1) control the discussion in the flock and 2) sell something else to a captive market.
Sorry to be so blunt but some of it leads me to this conclusion. If you want more details see the thread "The Psalms are the Word of Christ". WL completely dropped the ball, and in so doing he shut off the flock from the words of life. This is frankly inexcusable.
(and I am not deviating from this thread. Watchman Nee's subjective mysticism gave WL the free reign to personalize the Bible to his own fancy).
