Satanic Deceptions: 'the Message'

[SkepticCat]

Eugene Peterson's 'The Message' is yet another Satanic attempt to infiltrate and pervert the Truth. You can read an analysis of its 'Lord's Prayer' (to Satan) by John Hinton, Ph.D. here: http://av1611.com/kjbp/ridiculous-kjv-bible-corrections/Lords-Prayer-to-Whom.html . A further discussion of the perversion that is The Message is available here: http://www.av1611.org/kjv/mess_bible.html . The entire http://av1611.org/ site is about exposing various deceptions.

You know things are getting blatant when a Lord's Prayer version includes occult terms like "as above, so below"!

You've introduced an important topic because it is one that new Christians probably like because it is supposed to be an easier version to understand! That website is a great one.

The MIStranslation has been discussed many times so please readers don't dismiss the above link as one website's opinions only.

Serious Christian apologetics websites:

Good in depth analysis. http://justinpeters.org/images/TheMessage2.pdf

RULE-OF-THUMB: a church that loves the Message does not love God's Word. Hillsong is one of those "churches".

I used to like to joke that I use the paraphrased Message.

But seriously, don't.

Well, I didn't introduce the concept:

And have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather reprove them. (Ep 5:11)

... but I saw the 'deception in 'Christian' music' thread and wanted to share this since I regard it as a [another] true eye-opener. I think non-believers need to ask themselves at this point and with the things that are clearly happening in the world right now, as exposed by VC and others, why the System is so invested in insulting Christ. Maybe... there is a reason for this.

Edit: What Bible versions do you read? KJV here.

Well, I didn't introduce the concept:

Please don't get me wrong. You did a good thing by starting this thread. The Message is bunk.
