On a more serious note, it drives me crazy...

1st> I am not an professional linguist nor was I even good at English classes in school, so I should probably keep my mouth shut, but this really bugs me, so I can't.
2nd> Don't get me wrong the people who I am about to refer are people that I care about a respect a great deal! I am going to try to allow them to remain nameless, if you know or figure out who I am talking about, know this; I care about and respect them greatly.

Why do preachers feel the need to replace the pronouns in scripture, when the Word says he, please say he, when the word says his, please say his. Don't say 'he or she', don't say 'theirs'. Your congregations are mature enough to understand (and if they aren't teach them), that there were cultural reasons for that singular pronoun to be used. If you don't like the way that version of the Bible was translated, use a different one, don't change the words yourself, without disclaiming it each and every time. When you change the words it makes it sound like you are trying to trick us, or twist what is there, I know you don't want to twist what is there, when you read please be true to the text, then add your commentary.
