Hey guys, long time lurker, first time poster.

I work for Bible Society Australia and I wanted to let you know about our EOFYS which we've extended until the end of July. We've taken 55-85% off RRP for some tracts and Bibles. There are some pretty cool products included like some GNB hardbacks, NIV study Bibles and women's devotionals:

2011 NIV Women's Devotional Bible - $5.25 (was $34.99)
GNB Hardcover Compact Bible - $1.65 (was $10.99)
HCSB Gift & Award Bible, Imitation Leather - $2.75 (was $10.99)
NIV Study Bible - $51.75 (was $114.99)

All prices are final and stocks are limited. We have a variable shipping rate based on the size of your order - for most addresses in Australia, a small order will only be about $7.50 but please do check before you purchase so there aren't any surprises.

      When it comes to a publishing house creating yet another 'version' to copyright, promote and profit from it is a problem.

      Providing a service to produce say an out of copyright KJV, where people are willing to share the costs and recognise the value therein - the labourer is worthy of their hire.

      There are many examples of Bibles being provided for free. Look in your motel drawer, school distribution etc.

      Give 'true riches' for free without expecting anything in return, in turn some hearers support with freewill choice to support 'the labourer that is worthy of their hire' labouring in Bible teaching.

          True, it is good to do this, however …

          I usually try and steer clear of the fiction shelves in bookshops. Anything for me here?

          Err Christianity hasn't been one religion for 2000 years. Theres about 30,000 sects. Hardly one religion :-)

          some of us feel all religions are the poison that makes the world like it is and would like all religions outlawed

          Scam

          I haven't seen any genuine scrutiny or questioning. The comments so far haven't been too bad, they are usually a lot worse with deals for Christians. The mods regularly get on the front foot when deals are posted for religions. They sometimes threaten bans before anyone has made a comment so I would encourage averyone to keep things civil. I have been reminded in the past to give them sufficient time to get in an make a comment and delete posts that don't meet the commenting guidelines.

          @GregMonarch:

          Agree. Just look at the lack of moderation with deals for Christians. I know the mods are busy, but it is not hard to see that the title is one that refers to religion and get on the front foot, as was done with these deals.

          @heal: I'm not sure you understand the meaning of the phrase "Ministry of Truth"…

          Of course it would be tolerated. "Boo hoo - us poor Christians are always discriminated against while Muslims have a free ride" is not only hilariously false, it's also rather offensive to to the huge level of suffering many of them are subjected to. And for the record, I would (and have) said the exact same things in "Islam threads". They're incredibly similar religions after all - it would be nonsensical to find one convincing or worthy of respect and not the other.

          I never expected you to be able to. It's somewhat of a prerequisite to being a Christian.

          Christians in Australia have it pretty good compared to the rest of the world. Let's not let facts get in the way of your opinions. After all the Ministry of Truth is in charge of propaganda. The irony is in the name.

          @heal: Fox News, why am I not surprised…

          You do have it pretty good, so stop your utterly pathetic bleating about how dreadful everyone is to you.

          @callum9999:

          Plenty of other sites but I gather you don't bother to research.

          I actually said;

          Christians in Australia have it pretty good compared to the rest of the world.

          … so there's no pathetic bleating or boo hoo from me. You seem a bit riled up from a few facts.

          Last post from me, you are free to continue with your pathetic vitriol.

        • callum9999 on 29/07/2017 - 18:22

          @heal: Why would I need to research it? It's a completely irrelevant point. Not that I said it was inaccurate, I'm just not surprised you chose Fox News.

          You actually said many things. I'm not solely responding to that one line, I'm responding to the bleating about how hard Christians here have it and how Islam would never be criticised somewhere like this. I would call you delusional but that goes without saying, what with your belief of an invisible sky God watching us all.

      Err Christianity hasn't been one religion for 2000 years. Theres about 30,000 sects. Hardly one religion :-)

        They do have one important thing in common though…

      • slipperypete on 28/07/2017 - 13:31

        I've heard differing opinions on the amount of sects

        Can you quote your source?

        Not bagging you, am just curious

          Supabrudda always exaggerates when it comes to the amount of sects going on.

          World Christian Encyclopedia by Barrett, Kurian, Johnson

          They claim 33,000 back in 2001.

          @supabrudda:

          Wow, that's a lot. I read once on a wikipedia article that there were 17,000. It was a while ago and couldn't even remember if that was all religions or just christianity

          @slipperypete: i assume it take into account various splitters (like the Judean People's Front and the Popular Front of Judeah) within the various churches.

          Maybe that 33k was misinterupted. according to this they count demoninations (which I interchange with sect) per country, So I assume that means the First Baptist Church of South Park in Colorado & the First Baptist Church of South Park in Bali would be counted as 2 demoninations, not 1.
