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.
Gen 3:17 And unto Adam he said, Because thou hast hearkened unto the voice of thy wife, and hast eaten of the tree, of which I commanded thee, saying, Thou shalt not eat of it: cursed is the ground for thy sake; in sorrow shalt thou eat of it all the days of thy life;
Genesis 3:17-19 "...painful as having babies..." (MSG)
Working is Painful but not that much.
Gen 26:8 And it came to pass, when he had been there a long time, that Abimelech king of the Philistines looked out at a window, and saw, and, behold, Isaac was sporting with Rebekah his wife.
Gen 26:8 sporting changed to "fondling"(MSG)
Not very Kid friendly! Also not the Same meaning e.g. Pro 26:19
Gen 28:12 And he dreamed, and behold a ladder set up on the earth, and the top of it reached to heaven: and behold the angels of God ascending and descending on it.
Gen 28:10-12 "stairway" (MSG)
Gen 37:4 And when his brethren saw that their father loved him more than all his brethren, they hated him, and could not speak peaceably unto him.
Gen 37:4 "...wouldn't even speak to..."(MSG)
Change in meaning
Exo 4:25 Then Zipporah took a sharp stone, and cut off the foreskin of her son, and cast it at his feet, and said, Surely a bloody husband art thou to me.
Exodus 4:24-26 "...touched Moses' member..."(MSG)
That so could be taken the wrong way.
Num 4:6 And shall put thereon the covering of badgers' skins, and shall spread over it a cloth wholly of blue, and shall put in the staves thereof.
Numbers 4:5-6 "...dolphin skin..."(MSG)
Num 16:32 And the earth opened her mouth, and swallowed them up, and their houses, and all the men that appertained unto Korah, and all their goods.
Num 16:31-33"...all the human beings connected with..."(MSG)
contradiction see (Num 26:11)

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.
