New Age Bible Versions

"The emerging ‘new’ Christianity - with its substitution of riches for righteousness, a crown for a cross, and an imitation for a new creation - is shown to be a direct result of the wording in new versions."

"Documented are the thousands of words, verses, and doctrines by which new versions will prepare the apostate churches of these last days to accept the religion of the Antichrist - even his mark, image, and Lucifer worship."

New Age Bible Versions (title) - watch it on youtube or read the book - more info at:

My comment: I have read it, and do recommend it to believers that are able to face truth based on actual facts contained in different Bible versions themselves, even if it would mean to question personal tastes. My own personal taste was the NIV for a long time. So I do know what it's like to have a preference, and one can come to faith in Jesus Christ reading the NIV. I found t it's not any good though for maturing or for teaching, because it contains very questionable wordings and deletions. The problem starts when it openly contradicts earlier Bibles.

This book gives facts about details by directly comparing all major versions. To someone that never compared at least a handful details by themselves but relies on critics' opinions this book will be useless, like all truth would be meaningless if it would be a matter of people's opinion, personal likes or dislikes. This is for students that want to see proof and are sincere enough to not dismiss the facts when they see them - but rather check if it's true or not. Translations speak very loud and clear by themselves about their differences from each other. The facts only: Only that is what matters when looking for truth.

This book is important, because it relates to our present day reality of an emerging new Christianity that is very different than any previous one in church history. We have to get over the fact that we're born into that scenario and never known anything different to compare with. Modern bibles did play a major role to get to where we are right now.
 
I would not recommend this book to anyone. If is rife with errors and fallacies and does more damage to Christianity than any so-called "New Age" Bible version.

--> a quote :

"Satan himself is 'transformed into an angel of light.' So
God warns us to expect Satan's ministers to be imitators of
"ministers of righteousness" (II Cor 11:15). Among them are the
Buddhists who "set a high value on imitating the behavior of the
highest" and mystics like the U.N.'s Dag Hammerskjold and
Robert Muller who both read between the lines of Thomas a
Kempis' The Imitation of Christ. Luciferian David Spangler
prefers 'Christians' who are an imitation rather than
a new creation:

"Orthodox Christianity has a mystical side that to the
best of its ability has taught the imitation of Christ."


===================================================
NIV, NAS, et al. ----------------------------------KJV
===================================================
Be imitators-----------I Cor. 11:1-------------followers of me
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Be imitators of God------ Eph.5:1------------followers of God
===================================================

The dictionary destroys any notion that imitations are anything
but an "artificial likeness".

Buddhism isn't imitating Christianity, because it is older then Christianity. The Buddha gave his teaching 500 years before Jesus was even borne. :ohwell
 
You are referring to the historical Jesus, but you might not realize yet who he is:

John 8:58  Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Before Abraham was, I am.

That means he is the eternal 'I am' before Abraham and before Buddha

He is both creator and redeemer
 
Gail Riplinger's works are full of mis-quotes, misunderstandings and just plain old lies. She would not know the truth if it bit her.
 
I don't even know which book you are talking about, but I would NEVER read a New Age Bible. Having come from a new age background before I got saved, I know how dangerous it is.

Seems like the website is one of those KJV only sites? My bible teacher said as long as you've got the KJV, the NKJV or the NASB, you've got a sound translation. In my studies I have found this true. Although I do like the AMP bible, more for indepth word study than just reading.

To Gail Riplinger, and those who unfortunately believe as shes does, every translation other than the KJV is referred to as a "New Age Bible Version". It really is a position that is all but completely devoid of rational thought.

Gotcha. That's what I thought. Now I would agree that there are some questionable bible translations, but the KJV only people can be really adamant! I have been to other sites like that and they were practically spitting venom over every version but the 1611 Auth KJV. Can you say paranoid? LOL
 
you know truth be told even the 1611 version which few have, only 4 exist and those are in a museum.
has errors.

most versions of the kjv we read are the 1768 version.

Yeah, I knew they had updated it sometime in the 1700's to correct the errors in the 1611. I think this KJV is a pretty faithful rendering, but it isn't the end all to end all.

The only translation I really have a problem with is The Message. I know there is some good in it, don't get me wrong, but I read Romans ch 8 and couldn't even recognize it! I have no idea where Eugene Peterson got that from. It was crazy! I'm not real fond of anything but literal translations, ie not a fan of paraphrases. I do think paraphrases have some good things to contribute, I just don't think they are good for study purposes. I use the KJV, NKJV and the AMP. Those are my faves.
 
i use the kjv.

but is the AMP the joyce meyer signature one? as in amplified bible.

that version makes a paragraph out of john 3:16.

i like the geico version the best. :shades

LOL, yes, the amplified bible does make a paragraph out of John 3:16. It was designed basically just to expound on the definitions of the Greek and Hebrew words. Things people of those languages would have understood as implied but didn't translate over into English well.

For example, in Paul's Ephesians 1 prayer, where KJV says "the eyes of your understanding being enlightened" the AMP says "the eyes of your heart be flooded with light". I just love that. And I believe it is a valid alternate interpretation, not just the insertion of pretty words.

Yeah, it is the one Joyce Meyers used. I think she means well too, but I pretty much get nothing out of her ministry. She did write a book called "Beauty for Ashes" about overcoming childhood abuse through Christ. It was really good and helped me a lot. Joyce was physically and sexually abused by her own father for 10 years. She really has come through a lot. I respect her, her ministry just doesn't resonate with me.

Actually I think she started ok, then went astray and has come back. I don't watch her show almost ever, but the times that I have watched in the recent past she is always talking about obeying God, not being jealous and envious, doing what the Word says, walking in love, etc. Sound stuff, not prosperity (which you know I believe in but I do know there are false teachers of prosperity as well), but good practical teaching. I think she's alright, but as I said, I really just don't get much out of her teaching, maybe it is her style, a lack of anointing, or that she just doesn't get into the deep things of God, which is where my passion lies.

she was falsely accused by the st.louis herald

but this is just as bad. i wont listen or give so that she can fly in a gulf stream jet. i see those at the local airport. if its earned its one thing, but to take money so that you can fly in a private jet from the ministry is wrong. i dont mind charter or first class. but that sets a bad example

google the gulfstream iv jet.

Is this a thread about 'a book' filled entirely with opinions by people that haven't actually read 'the book' ? lol. hilarious. Maybe someone familiar with the technical details of what makes a critic credible can explain you the aspects of how this would work in the real world,

book critics by instinct - sure gives a huge boost to the credibility of the rest of your opinions. Dear non-readers, thanks for your instincts and third party opinions, you are the absolutely sure indicator, truth is always treated that way.

If I wouldn't already had read it, i would buy that book immediately! When a crowd by instinct has a certain opinion about something they only know by hearsay or not even that much, it's got to be pure dynamite. And it is. Exposes a whole lot of other make belief and mass deception on a grand scale. And it's all nicely documented by direct comparisons, even a ignorant critc can be made to see the truth. Just because the facts all speak for themselves. You cannot actually miss it. Except if you're dead. Of course you would need to open your eyes, and actually read it, what could be a shock for many. Try it. Gives a criticism so much more actual content.

Geo, dear, this thread is about a woman and a website who believe that every version other than the KJV is of the devil and part of the New Age world order. In terms of reading the book, the only book on this thread to read would be the KJV. And I've read that, COUNTLESS times. So where you came up with your post I have NO IDEA.
