New group on Faithlife: CSSB Users
In another thread we discussed study bibles and I sort of plugged the Concordia Self-Study Bible (CSSB), which is a Lutheran edition of the bestselling NIV Study Bible, which itself is not in Logos.
CSSB signifies edited notes with a dagger symbol, thus facilitating a comparison between NIV SB notes and those in CSSB. The new group will discuss the CSSB and use Community Notes to show the differences between the two.
Right now, I've put in Commuinty Notes that show the edit changes in
- the book of James ("epistle of straw", according to Luther),
- the Letters of John and
- the "Righteousness through faith"-chapter Romans 3
Join us on Faithlife to "retrofit" your CSSB into a NIV SB and to see what Lutherans thought required editing!
Have joy in the Lord!

Sure. The above was the commercial and needs to be taken a bit light-hearted [:)]
Actually there aren't that many changes at all in the books where I tracked them, and sometimes I'd side with CSSB, sometimes with NIV SB on who gets it better. Sometimes both could be improved...

Now that I'm getting much, much older, I take everything humourously first, knowing that I now have the ability to laugh at myself. *smile*
Good Advice: 1. Take things humourously first.
2. Take things figuratively second
3. Take things literally when all else fails. Peace to all! .. and ... Always Joy!

'Cancel credit cards prior to death!
Be sure and cancel your credit cards before you die! This is so priceless
And so easy to see happening - customer service, being what it is today!
A lady died this past January, and ANZ bank billed her for February and
March for their annual service charges on her credit card, and
Then added late fees and interest on the monthly charge The balance had
Been $0.00, now is somewhere around $60.00.
A family member placed a call to the ANZ Bank:
Family Member:
'I am calling to tell you that she died in January.'
ANZ:
'The account was never closed and the late fees and charges still apply.'
Family Member:
'Maybe, you should turn it over to collections.'
ANZ:
'Since it is two months past due, it already has been.'
Family Member:
So, what will they do when they find out she is dead?'
ANZ:
'Either report her account to the frauds division or report her to
The credit bureau, maybe both!'
Family Member:
'Do you think God will be mad at her?'
ANZ:
'Excuse me?'
Family Member:
'Did you just get what I was telling you . . . The part about her
Being dead?'
ANZ:
'Sir, you'll have to speak to my supervisor.'
Supervisor gets on the phone:
Family Member:
'I'm calling to tell you, she died in January.'
ANZ:
'The account was never closed and the late fees and charges still apply.'
Family Member:
'You mean you want to collect from her estate?'
ANZ:
(Stammer) 'Are you her lawyer?'
Family Member:
'No, I'm her great nephew.'
(Lawyer info given)
ANZ:
'Could you fax us a certificate of death?'
Family Member:
'Sure.'
( fax number is given )
After they get the fax:
ANZ:
'Our system just isn't set up for death. I don't know what more I
Can do to help.'
Family Member:
'Well, if you figure it out, great! If not, you could just keep billing
Her. I don't think she will care.'
ANZ:
'Well, the late fees and charges do still apply.'
Family Member:
'Would you like her new billing address?'
ANZ:
'That might help.'
Family Member:
' Rookwood Memorial Cemetery, 1249 Centenary Rd, Sydney Plot Number
1049.'
ANZ:
'Sir, that's a cemetery!'
Family Member:
'Well, what the **** do you do with dead people on your planet?'Philippians 4: 4 Rejoice in the Lord always; again I will say, Rejoice. 5 Let your reasonableness be known to everyone. The Lord is at hand..........
