Well hello again viewers, for today's article I will be exposing Eugene Peterson's the message. The message bible is a paraphrase when came out in pieces from 1993 to 2002. Now a paraphrase Isn't a literal word for word translation, therefore we shouldn't expect it to match bibles such as the kjv or even the NIV exactly. If you have been a reader of my material for some time. You may have noticed that I tend to focus on bible verses that have a change in meaning. This will be no different. As this will be one if not the last articles that I publish on the bible version issue, I decided to take the time to color the verses (yet again) for your reading convenience.

Then all the children of Israel returned, every man to his possession, into their own cities.

If I do decide to cover another translation it will probably be something like 10 verses the KJV may have mistranslated. Don't get me wrong I believe the KJV is probably the best English translation out there but my stance on it being 100 % inerrant has changed from complete certainty to it may have some errors, but I digress. Back to the topic at hand. I estimate there are about 50 to 80 verses to cover here with that said I hope you guys enjoy this in depth post on the message bible. As usual KJV verses will be in blue while the translation I will be exposing in red.

1Th 2:20 For ye are our glory and joy.
1 Thessalonians 2:17-20 "...pride..."(MSG)
Like many other modern translations the message uses the word pride/proud in a postive sense. This sends mixed messages, is pride a sin or not. In truth the bible is clear that it is.
Pro_8:13 The fear of the LORD is to hate evil: pride, and arrogancy, and the evil way, and the froward mouth, do I hate.
Pro_11:2 When pride cometh, then cometh shame: but with the lowly is wisdom.
Pro_13:10 Only by pride cometh contention: but with the well advised is wisdom.
Pro_14:3 In the mouth of the foolish is a rod of pride: but the lips of the wise shall preserve them.
Pro_16:18 Pride goeth before destruction, and an haughty spirit before a fall.
Pro_29:23 A man's pride shall bring him low: but honour shall uphold the humble in spirit.
Tit 1:7 For a bishop must be blameless, as the steward of God; not selfwilled, not soon angry, not given to wine, no striker, not given to filthy lucre;
Titus 1:5-9 "...responsible for the affairs in God's house..."(MSG)
A verse that implies God's house is a man-made building.
1Pe 3:21 The like figure whereunto even baptism doth also now save us (not the putting away of the filth of the flesh, but the answer of a good conscience toward God,) by the resurrection of Jesus Christ:
1 Pet 3:19-22 "...The waters of baptism do that for you."(MSG)
Water Baptism doesn't save!
Titus 1:5-9 "...responsible for the affairs in God's house..."(MSG)
A verse that implies God's house is a man-made building.
1Pe 3:21 The like figure whereunto even baptism doth also now save us (not the putting away of the filth of the flesh, but the answer of a good conscience toward God,) by the resurrection of Jesus Christ:
1 Pet 3:19-22 "...The waters of baptism do that for you."(MSG)
Water Baptism doesn't save!
Rev 8:13 And I beheld, and heard an angel flying through the midst of heaven, saying with a loud voice, Woe, woe, woe, to the inhabiters of the earth by reason of the other voices of the trumpet of the three angels, which are yet to sound!
Revelation 8:13 angel changed to "eagle"(MSG)Rev 13:1 And I stood upon the sand of the sea, and saw a beast rise up out of the sea, having seven heads and ten horns, and upon his horns ten crowns, and upon his heads the name of blasphemy.
Rev 13:1-2 "...the Dragon stood on the shore..."(MSG)
Switches John with the dragon.
Rev 13:1-2 "...the Dragon stood on the shore..."(MSG)
Switches John with the dragon.
So in conclusion, I would have to encourage my readers to avoid making the passion translation their primary bible at all cost! I can't make you not read it, but with as many problems at this translation has, I would say it is folly to continue to memorize & belief these very dangerous doctrines that this translation promotes. I will just recite 8 false teachings and/or problematic text that we have covered in this study. Hell is a cold place, Water baptism saves, you should be proud, man's labor is as painful as having babies, Song of Solomon isn't as kid friendly in this translation, obedient Christians will be good looking, Zechariah's prophecy destroyed, Sin won't separate you from God. Thus concludes my post on this bible.
