As a BJU faculty member old enough to have heard Bob Jones Sr. in person, I reverted your edit because it is incorrect. Bob Jones Sr. did attack the RSV repeatedly after it was published in the 1950s, largely for its translation of Isaiah 7: 14. I actually have the citation dates and location of the sermons where he did so. However, he was not opposed to modern translations per se and served on the committee that created the Amplified Bible. He could not have criticized the ESV because it didn't exist during his lifetime. Furthermore, the ESV is not a revision of the RSV. There actually is a copyrighted revision of the RSV. So, you need four citations to make this edit stick on the BJU page: the actual date of the sermon where he attacked the RSV, a statement declaring that the ESV is a revision of the RSV, some way to document that Bob Jones Sr. would have opposed a new translation if Isaiah 7: 14 had been changed, and a source for the statement that BJU is promoting the ESV when it has never been used or recommended from the chapel platform. If you can come up with proof for the latter three statements, I'll give you a citation for the first. Otherwise, what you are doing is vandalism because you have no proof of your assertions.--Hi540 (talk) 11:54, 7 September 2008 (UTC)

When you vandalize a page such as Bob Jones University, Wikipedia saves the entire page; and when someone like me reverts your vandalism, Wikipedia saves another complete page. So you waste at least two people's time and Wikipedia's computer space. More than that, you demonstrate that "out of the heart proceed evil thoughts...false witness."
