All because the translation has no street cred...now a days the Father's sheep go unfed...starved for the bread...of life. As preachers and teachers we were sent here to emulate Christ...go to the ghetto's...speak to the people at their level...of understanding.

Its time to flip the scripture...so the young nonbeliever can get the picture...desire to embrace biblical literature...in its original...form. Until then...the church best get on a hot beat and put a new spin...on the forgiveness of sin...don't pigeon hole Salvation...God got mad love for the hip-hop generation.

Greek won't walk...ya better rap the talk,
