I think one of the factual contentions may be in error. Dr. Matto says:
"When you purchase an ESV, you are helping fund the NCC which is another enemy of Christ and true Christians."
Yet, on the ESV site, they aver:
"Does Crossway pay royalties to anyone for use of the ESV text?
No. Crossway owns the rights to the text." |
It is incontrovertible that Crossway/Good News paid the NCC up front for the rights to the RSV. It is often asserted that payments (royalties I suppose) are ongoing and as noted above, when you buy an ESV "you are helping fund the NCC". I left the UMC of my childhood years ago because I didn't want to fund the WCC and NCC so my ears perk up at this charge. However to my mind no credible evidence has been brought forward to substantiate this claim.
