    “You shall put a railing around your [flat] roof, so that no one may fall from there.” (Deuteronomy 22:8, The Amplified Bible ) Internet service providers and software programs may offer parental controls that act as “railings” to block inappropriate pop-ups and access to harmful sites. Some programs can even help prevent children from revealing personal information, such as their name or address. It should be realized, however, that such parental controls are not foolproof. Also, many older children who are computer literate learn how to bypass them.

    The Lockman Foundation is a nonprofit, interdenominational ministry dedicated to the translation, publication, and distribution of the New American Standard Bible, Amplified Bible, La Biblia de las Américas, Nueva Biblia Latinoamericana de Hoy, and other Biblical resources.

    Mission Statement

    The primary purpose of The Lockman Foundation is to foster and promote Christian charitable and educational enterprises.
    This organization is a non-profit, interdenominational ministry dedicated to the translation and distribution of the Scriptures.
    The Foundation enlists the assistance of educators from recognized evangelical institutions and pastors from mainstream conservative denominations in the implementation of these translation projects.
    The Lockman Foundation strictly adheres to the fourfold aim that guides all of its translation work:

    1. These publications shall be true to the original Hebrew, Aramaic, and Greek.
    2. They shall be grammatically correct.
    3. They shall be understandable.
    4. They shall give the Lord Jesus Christ His proper place, the place which the Word gives Him; therefore, no work will ever be personalized.

    Doctrinal Statement

    We believe that the entire Bible is the inspired and inerrant word of God; the only infallible rule of faith and practice.
    We believe that the Lord Jesus Christ is the only Begotten Son of God, conceived by the Holy Spirit and born of the Virgin Mary.
    We believe in the sacrificial and vicarious death of the Lord Jesus Christ on the cross and that He thereby made perfect substitutionary atonement for the sin of the world. We believe in His literal physical resurrection from the dead,
    We believe in the literal, bodily, physical, and Premillenial return of Jesus Christ.
    We believe that all men are sinners and in an eternally lost condition apart from the saving grace of the Lord Jesus Christ.
    We believe that acceptance into the family of God and eternal salvation can only be secured by believing in and by faith accepting and receiving the Lord Jesus Christ as personal Sin–bearer, Lord and Savior.

    I thought the geniuses at beth-hell wrote their own translation software back in the 1970's. Seems like small potatoes for them to do a theocratic internet shield of faith. This is probably their own baby in disguise so other people will buy it.
