SIL responds to false accusations

Is it true that SIL supports removing “Son of God” and “God the Father” in Scripture translations?

No—SIL maintains its historic position that Scripture translations must promote the understanding of the term, “Son of God,” that includes Jesus' relationship as Son with God the Father. SIL affirms the eternal deity of Jesus Christ and requires that it be preserved in all translations.
