Well, Hello again my viewers for today's article I'm going to cite some verses from the Good news bible and see if you can spot the problems that i am seeing with it. The good news translation new testament was first published in 1966 the old testament in 76. As the translation type it is of the Dynamic Equivalence variety. So this should be fun.
Gen 13:18 Then Abram removed his tent, and came and dwelt in the plain of Mamre, which is in Hebron, and built there an altar unto the LORD.
Genesis 13:18, Gen 18:1 "...sacred trees..." (GNT)
(Makes me think of the Abomination of Christmas).
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 "...making love." (GNT)

Lev 20:10 "...wife of an Israelite..."(GNT)
(Because i guess it's only Adultery if it's the wife of an Israelite, won't Adulterers nowadays be glad to here that.)
Lev 19:17 Thou shalt not hate thy brother in thine heart: thou shalt in any wise rebuke thy neighbour, and not suffer sin upon him.

So out his B***hole then? KJV doesn't say anything like this.

Galatians 5:20 "...ambitious..."(GNT)
