Bible Blushing

Recently I was reading my TNIV Bible on the commuter train whilst going out to meet some friends for dinner. Unfortunately, I happened upon Ezekiel 23:20 during my reading. The NIV/TNIV translation is rather, er, explicit, and I turned a bright shade of red (I am sure) after I digested the passage.

I think I am going to stick to reading New Testament books whilst in public.

I submit that the REAL reason that many churches still use the KJV is because it is so old and antiquated that it's very vague and fuzzy on these "embarrassing"
passages. Heck, lots of parents would prefer that their children (esp. teenagers!) view the Bible as a sort've santizied leather bound story book.
