I sent them a message.
My message to esword dev:
Is there any way to turn-off esword "news", that is, the ads.
I think having ads goes against the teachings of Scripture, Jesus threw the peddlers out-of the temple.
I have donated to esword and bought many Bibles and commentaries. But I think these ads go too far.
His response:
James,
Really?! One news popup in over a year, and you are complaining! Most folks like to know when something useful is available, and the ACCS is probably the most important reference work to come out in the past thousand years.
The "peddlers" were selling atonement, which is hardly the same thing as informing you of a new resource!
In His service,
Rick Meyers

My response (let's see if I hear back)
You cannot buy 'atonement'.
For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.
Edit: I just re-read his message ...the peddlers were not selling 'atonement'. What is he talking about?
