"Even language used in the Holy Scriptures!! When words like -"washed ...Blood...Lamb:" and "loving neighbour as self;"- are tabooed, we have played into the hands of the enemy of souls! And we need to find a way of escape! Believe it or not, there is only One way of escape from the satan! The Lord Jesus Christ. He is realy the Way,The Truth and the Life! Moreover, some people say they believe in God but not in Jesus Christ. This is not possible. People who said they belive in God, crucified His son. My hope is that those who occupy responsible positions be also the ones who promote the Truth. Yes, there is something called truth. And we owe it to ourselves to find it. When we find it, it will set us free!! Truly free!! Just imagine magazines beiing attracted to Article- writing that avoid “Religious language. “Even language used in the Holy Scriptures!!

Even in a Christian-oriented religious-themed publication you aren't allowed to use the same terms used in the Bible because they may not reach some fools and may offend others. Of course, what better way to dilute the Gospels than by watering them down until they're so weak that they don't give anyone icky-poo feelings -- thereby neutering those same Gospels of their power and turning them into false doctrine that can mislead the unwary. I feel sorry for the editors who established those guidelines, because (according to the Bible) when they appear at the great throne for judgment they will be in big trouble. The Bible says "If you deny me before men I will deny you before my Heavenly Father," and these editorial policies are dancing right on the razor's edge of doing exactly that.

A lot of the lang. in our initial draft was very religious, instead of a comfortable conversational tone.

I would have never thought of writing for a religious publication, let alone using a secular piece. What about "donating" a piece for free? How does that compare to writing for religious magazines to wedge your way into the more lucrative publications? Very interesting.
