Can I ask the following question on this: We know that in most of the cases in the PDL Rick Warren uses Scripture in a distorted manner by quoting from highly questionable "translations" like eg. The Message to try to give a Scriptural basis for his arguments. Since these quotations form an integral part of the text and his arguments, does it mean that someone or a group of people who accepts the content of the PDL actually also, by implication, accept these questionable translations as valid translations? Thus "self-denial" becomes "self-sacrifice" etc.
