I can’t put my finger on it but I feel like when I listen to you read I feel like I am watching an anointed movie. You dramatize it without dramatizing it with the tones and inflections of your words and your voice. Even though I know you were literally reading it. It feels as though I am hearing it played out. So anointed you are. I pray that the Lord will orchestrate you to be more scene and more heard through this channel or through whatever means he chooses. You have a genuine love for the Lord and I can hear it through your voice. I bless you my sister. Your kingdom come your will be done for Alisa, Your one! 🙏🙌🔥
That's why the test for truth shouldn't be your feelings but what you know from the actual Word of God. If you compare Brian Simmons's stuff to God's Word you will find his stuff to be garbage and not anointed.
Well said Holly! Listening to her read makes me think of the women that were so close to Jesus and loved Him so much. Jesus loved them and honored them at a time when women were disrespected by the religious elite who also rejected Jesus.
@DefenderoftheCross it is God's word just another translation that makes more sense to today's readers. I honestly can't identify with the king James version or other versions cause the wording is weird . When I compare this version with those it makes more sense. I feel God's love for me reading this translation. That's an emotion that God has given each of us. God gave us the word but without the holy spirit its honestly dead words .Jesus said, 'When he, the Spirit of truth. has come, he will guide you into all truth' (John 16:13). The Holy Spirit is the Spirit of truth. He is truth essentially in himself, and he is the one who leads the church into all truth.
Overwhelmed, yet again, by the transforming power of Holy Spirit coming through Alissa's voice bringing the Passion Translation. Thank you, Alissa. Keep using your incredible gift!!!
Alissa, Brian Simmons comes to our church sometimes, and I can hear his passion along with yours (and the Holy Spirit) as you read. You are doing great! Keep going, you have a great reading voice, I played this for my son tonight for his "story" time.
Robert that’s a real honor to have Mr. Simmons on at your Church. I really like his insights. Thanks for your encouragement and Jesus bless you and your dear son!
Robert be careful - he's a liar and an actor, re-writing God's Word with hundreds of additional phrases and countless translation errors - for money and fame. He boasts about imaginary encounters - for instance no mere man would survive standing in Heaven contemplating theft of a book. He clearly does not understand God's untouchable holiness. He's misleading thousands of people, how sad. Listen to LongforTruth1 and Mike Winger for more light on what he is doing.
Beautiful reading Alissa, perfect in everyway. I love TPT it wonderful and with you reading it I feel like I'm there with Jesus amongst them all He talks with. Awesome thank you. Glory to Father God forever! 🙌🙌🙌🙏💕💖📖🍞🍷🐑👑🎹🎤🎶🎵
It is so sweet... feels like I am just listening to this for the first time.. goodness, absolutely beautiful, easy .. the best. I can literally hear God's love for me.. it is so personalized ..Thank you for reading it. I hope you have read more. Love it. God bless!!❣
OMG! 😃This is an ABSOLUTELY EXCELLENT reading. G-I-r-r-l, this reading is of such high quality along with the amazingly expressive way you have read it. You have done justice to such a marvelous translation.
Wonder-full Allisa. I'm so glad I found someone who makes the words of scripture come alive! I listen to you almost every night in bed with ear phones and I am in another world. Your voice is so anointed. Love you and your gift.
You have an anointing on you . I listen to your voice as you are reading the bible and I am just soaking into the Word of God. You have just the voice for this. Thank you.
Well done Alissa! The Passion Translation is a powerful translation from the Aramaic that really scares people with religious spirits! I especially enjoyed how you read John 14-17. I sensed your love for Jesus as you read His heartfelt words to His disciples. I encourage you to keep sharing these videos and to be undounted by people who are critical and mean and claim to be "defending the cross". Thank you for sharing the Word of God from your heart. God bless and keep you.
Thank you for taking the time and effort to record this....you read it with description and great peace.....are you going to record more chapters? May the Lord continue to bless your life in Him greatly. Amen
Also I just love the Passion Translation. It is so uplifting. Do you have a recording of Isaiah. My three favorites are John, Isaiah and Psalms. Again thank you I am listening to your recording of John every day.
Thank you for your heartfelt reading 📖 of this gospel for us … GOD is felt as you read this … O I am so grateful to you for obeying the LORD and recording this
If you ever complete the New Testament readings I pray you make it available on disc or one of those little Bible radio looking things … but please make sure we can change the speed to .75 and .50 so we can absorb every word when we need to slow it down. These devices look like a handheld small radio 3” x 5” about 1.5” thick and they come with earplugs and all you need is batteries to listen by speaker or earbuds ♥️… I am betting if the writer of the passion translation heard you, he would be so happy to produce these.
Hello, friend! I’ve never heard of these devices, but I’m am very interested in narrating more, it’s just I haven’t had the time. However, I’m so very glad that this has positively impacted you! Blessings!
I absolutely love this translation! I feel the fire of God's love when I read it (although I get attacked a lot for quoting it and the footnotes in a men's group I'm part of 😅). I also love so many other translations, and I regularly read scripture in other widely-accepted translations because I love the way those translations capture things as well.
Wow! I am in the same vein as you! I just love the richness and uniqueness of all translations, even the ones that are more mainstream. But this one is my fav because of the love I feel from it😁.
@@Lovecrazedgurl Yes this one has definitely been my favorite for a few years now. I used to read other like the NIV and the NKJV growing up, but they never expressed God's love for me and to me the same way the Passion Translation does. Like I still read other translations, but TPT is the one I really look forward to reading every day!
I encourage you to start every new day with this thought: “God loves me and gave His only Son for me. Jesus is all for me today. I am saved, healed, favored, righteous, and accepted in Christ the Beloved.” Start your day by occupying your mind with Jesus. For a season in my life, before I even got out of bed, I would repeat to myself over and over again, “I am the righteousness of God in Christ.” Some mornings I would say it more than fifty times. I wanted it to be a revelation pulsating in my heart, an unshakable belief that God is for me and with me. When you occupy your mind with Jesus, every struggle, fear, and bondage that you are entangled with will lose its evil grasp on you! There is a beautiful picture of Jesus hidden in the Old Testament. Under the old covenant of the law, those who sinned were told to bring a sheep that was without blemish, wrinkle, or spot to the priest. The priest does not examine the person to see if he is perfect (without sin), because he has sinned. So the priest examines the sheep. If the sheep is indeed perfect, the person who has sinned lays his hands on the sheep in an act of transferring his sins to the innocent sheep. At the same time, the innocence and perfection of the sheep are transferred to the person. The sheep is then killed, and the person leaves with his conscience cleared and his sin debt forgiven. He walks away under an open heaven of God’s favor and blessing. Can you see Jesus in this Old Testament practice? The sheep without blemish, spot, or wrinkle is a picture of the perfect Lamb of God, Jesus Christ Himself, who takes away the sins of the world. The priest is a picture of God. He doesn’t examine you for your sins. Instead, He examines Jesus, and because Jesus is gloriously perfect, you can live today with your conscience cleared and your sin debt forgiven. You can walk under an open heaven and expect God’s favor and blessings in your life. What a beautiful picture of God’s abundant and lavish grace. Today, turn your eyes away from yourself and stop the self-introspection! Look to Jesus, the Lamb of God, and see His perfection as your perfection. See His innocence as your innocence, His righteousness as your righteousness. Be occupied with Him, and be transformed from the inside out. There is so much wrong believing today about who Jesus is. I am asking you to throw out every idea, concept, and picture that you may have of a “religious” Jesus. Allow me to introduce the real Jesus to you, for this is where it all begins. I’m not talking about the religious Jesus you may have heard about growing up, but the real Jesus who walked along the dusty streets of Jerusalem and upon the raging waters of the Galilee. He was the one whom the sick, the poor, the sinful, the down and out, and the outcast instinctively gravitated to and felt at ease with. He was God in the flesh and He manifested God’s tangible love. In His presence, those who were imperfect didn’t feel fearful of Him, or sense judgment or condemnation from Him. To those who sought Him for healing, restoration, and supply-no matter what their past or background-He always extended a loving, compassionate heart and hand to them and oversupplied their need. Contrary to what a lot of people think, you don’t have to be “religious” to have access to God and His help. In fact, the less “religious” you are, the better. The real Jesus didn’t come to bring a new religion. He didn’t come to be served and waited upon. No, He came to serve, and serve He did. The real Jesus created the universe with one command and orchestrated the paths of each planet so that none would collide. He had every right to demand service from those He created, yet He supplied service. He bowed down and with His own hands washed the grime and filth from His disciples’ feet. Those same hands would later be pierced with coarse nails at the cross, and He would with His own blood wash us of the grime and filth of all our sins by taking them upon His own body. What a far cry from the condemning, judgmental, faultfinding God whom many have portrayed Him to be! This is the true Jesus-totally unlike what many of us have been taught about God. He is willing and able to meet your need today and love you into wholeness. If You Only Knew “If you only knew the gift God has for you and who you are speaking to, you would ask me, and I would give you living water…. Anyone who drinks this water [from the well] will soon become thirsty again. But those who drink the water I give will never be thirsty again. It becomes a fresh, bubbling spring within them, giving them eternal life.” John 4:10, 13-14 NLT John 4 tells the story of a shunned Samaritan woman who encountered Jesus when she came to draw water at a well. When she asked Jesus why He (a Jew) would ask her (a despised Samaritan) for a drink of water, this was His amazing response: that she would ask Him for living water, the only thing that would satisfy her from within and slake her deep thirst for acceptance and love forever. What an amazing Savior! Although this woman had a past of looking for love in all the wrong places that imprisoned her in shame and self-loathing, Jesus met her at her point of greatest need with the offer of Himself, the living water. He knew all that she had ever done and yet offered her the true intimacy that fully satisfies every aching need. He invited her to discover, taste, and experience His perfect and unconditional love. Jesus is saying the same thing to you today: If you only knew who it is who comes to you in your darkest and weakest moments. If you only knew this gift of God who will never leave you nor forsake you, who has gone before you and who comes to you in the midst of your storms. If you only knew the One who reaches out to you even when you have failed and who doesn’t hold your past mistakes or present failures against you. Beloved, if you only knew this gift of God who offers the living water of His unconditional, endless love to you and you drink of that love, you will never thirst again. You won’t need to look for love or acceptance in all the wrong places, have your heart broken and fearful about the future, and have your life derailed. You can wake up with a fresh expectation of good every day. Jesus was essentially inviting the woman to ask Him for the living water of His love. Will you do that today? Your life will never be the same again when you personally experience His love! The Good Shepherd He will protect His flock like a shepherd, He will gather the lambs in His arm, He will carry them in His bosom; He will gently and carefully lead those nursing their young. Isaiah 40:11 AMP I want to show you how there are no insignificant details in the Bible by uncovering hidden truths concealed in the names of the six cities of refuge found in Joshua 20. Read along with me and let’s see what the Lord has for us: “So they appointed Kedesh in Galilee, in the mountains of Naphtali, Shechem in the mountains of Ephraim, and Kirjath Arba (which is Hebron) in the mountains of Judah. And on the other side of the Jordan, by Jericho eastward, they assigned Bezer in the wilderness on the plain, from the tribe of Reuben, Ramoth in Gilead, from the tribe of Gad, and Golan in Bashan, from the tribe of Manasseh” (Josh. 20:7-8, boldface mine). Let me give you the meaning of the names in order of their appearance. Kedesh means holy place or sanctuary. In the cities of refuge, people sought asylum in the sanctuaries. Then we have Shechem, which means shoulder. Shechem, by the way, is where Jacob’s well is. Our Lord Jesus met the woman at the well in Shechem. Joseph was buried in Shechem and his tomb is still there. Next, we have Kirjath Arba, which is Hebron. Hebron means friendship or fellowship, and is the place where Abraham and Sarah were buried. Then, on the east side of the Jordan River, we have Bezer, which means fortress, followed by Ramoth, which means heights or highly exalted. We end with Golan, which means rejoicing or joy. Now, let’s put these names together to see the message for us: You can find sanctuary (Kedesh) on the Lord’s strong shoulders (Shechem), which He offers in fellowship (Hebron). He is our fortress (Bezer) and He highly exalts (Ramoth) us above all our troubles with great rejoicing (Golan). Hallelujah, all praise and glory to the Name above all names! The names paint a stunning picture of our Lord Jesus, stooping down to where we are, and offering His stronger shoulders to us when we are fearful and weary. What a beautiful picture of the Good Shepherd rescuing His lost sheep! Beloved, when we have failed and are completely worn out by the fights of life, He offers His shoulders in fellowship. He is our sanctuary. He is our holy place, where we are set apart from the world. When we respond to His desire for fellowship and climb on His broad shoulders, He lifts us up. The Lord bless you and the Lord keep you. The blessings of God will manifest in your life throughout this week. You’ll see them pop, one by one. Acknowledge them, and thank the Lord for them. The Lord keep you, preserve, protect you and your loved ones throughout this week from the COVID-19 virus, and from every disease, and from every danger, harm, and from all the powers of darkness. In the name of the Lord Jesus Christ. The Lord make His face to shine on you. Behold Him as He is, so are you. His face is full of glory, shining on you, granting you His favor everywhere you go this week. Favor surrounds you like a shield. The Lord lift up His countenance on you and grant to you and your families His shalom peace, in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ. Amen. God bless all of you!” Click here for video that will bless your ❤ ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-RZW7eTbT1Mk.html GRACE PARTY!!!!! JESUS IS THE DJ🥳🥖🍷
I loved you narrate Song of Solomon! Love this one too! You should also check out Roy Field reading The passion translation on his channel! He's very good too
Your voice is so Holy Spirit anointed. One suggestion is to put some instrumental music in the background for the class of people who are passionate about music. Thank you for this blessing.
Hey there, Rick! 🤔 Yeah I was thinking about putting music behind these narrations. There is an audiobook I will put out tomorrow, Reflections of an Ancient Oak that has some soft music behind it…it adds a cool calming effect. Hey, thanks Rick for your kind sentiments! Bless you and your family!
@@Lovecrazedgurl Dear Alissa, I'm so glad you didn't add an instrumental background to your reading (read thru some comments). It distracts so much from the simple but powerful Word spoken from your anointed voice. I got one of those "dramatic" bible recordings and concentrated on the music more than the Word! When Jesus spoke, there were no accompanying background. IT WASN'T NEEDED. When reading to children, they focus on what's spoken. When young with 8 people and TV blasting, I had to run and hide under the blankets and shove my fingers in my ears to study homework. Couldn't concentrate, needed pure silence. As Prayer Warrior, I concentrate more without background distractions. Hope you don't change what is already powerful and effective. Pure anointings don't need to have anything added to it. People don't need to be entertained (focused on people's wants, but inspired (focused entirely on God). We want to give Holy Spirit all the Glory, not to mere men. They are His vessels. That person can play an instrumental while listening to you. But in the end, you be led by Holy Spirit. No condemnation here. Blessings in your ministry!🙏🏼✝️🙏🏼✝️🙏🏼
"In the beginning was the Word and the Word was with God and the Word was God." It's very clear in this verse of scripture who the Word is. To refer to the Word as anything else is perversion. In fact everything else is perversion. Including the term "living expression. " Wake up people!!!
Its very nice but we are using the word " translation" very loosely here. It's not really a translation, it's more of a thought interpretation. Chrysostom used to do this with scripture in the early church. He wrote Mark 15.33 as " The creature could not bear the wrong done to its creator, therefore the sun withdrew its rays so it would not behold the deeds of the wicked ". I think that's a beautiful way to describe the sun going dark in Jerusalem when Jesus gave up his spirit, the sun couldn't bear to watch what was happening to its maker. But it's not a translation. Please don't consider this a translation folks, it's not.
I asked Holy Spirit about TPT. He said "I prefer the KJV and NKJV." So to 'test the spirit' I asked another friend to pray on this. She was told the the same and when she pressed in was told "it's off and not accurate."
Interesting - of course the Passion 'Translation' (sic) which is actually a very bad paraphrase, is ridiculous, and certainly totally worthless for any serious study - in fact it's not even good to read! But I wonder why the Holy Spirit recommended the least accurate translation in the English language - one that is not only riddled with errors (many deliberately introduced by the Catholic church) based on no manuscript earlier than the 10the century, and couched in now archaic terminology that gives the impression Christianity is well past it's use-by date, and irrelevant to modern life? I think you actually failed to test what 'spirit' it was behind this message!
@@SuperJ333 I asked two others who regularly (as do I) speak with Holy Spirit. He said "I prefer the KJV and NKJV and "it is off and not accurate." I stand by what He has said. Have you asked Holy Spirit and then 'tested the spirit' as scripture tells you to do?
@@PaulOfPeace54 Well you haven't answered any of my questions, or addressed any of the points I made, so I remain of the same opinion. As for your comments: ignoring the split infinitive, I have no idea what you mean by "regularly speak" with the Holy Spirit - I have my suspicions, but what exactly do you do? I'm also interested to hear what you think 'testing the spirits' actually means, and again, how you do it? However, when we're talking about prophecy, words of knowledge, messages, signs, and the like, they can come from 3 sources - from the Spirit of God, from the enemy or a deceiving spirit, or from our own minds - and it's not usually difficult for a mature Christian to tell which.
@@PaulOfPeace54 If he can be deceived, he's not mature. But I believe I know what's going on here - I was just trying to make sure. But you're too good at not answering questions - I guess I can have one more try: 1. How do you go about "regularly speaking" to the Holy Spirit? 2. How do you test the spirits - what do you actually do? 3. Why would the Holy Spirit recommend any particular Bible version, let alone the error-filled and woefully outdated KJV?
You guys, this is not a Bible, it's the Word of God rewritten by Mr. Simmons. Please check out Mike Winger, Alissa Childers, LongforTruth1 and Doreen Virtue for all the reasons why we need to bin this book. Praying that your eyes will be opened to the truth ❤️
15This is a trustworthy saying, worthy of full acceptance: Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners, of whom I am the worst. 16But for this very reason I was shown mercy, so that in me, the worst of sinners, Christ Jesus might display His perfect patience as an example to those who would believe in Him for eternal life. 17Now to the King eternal, immortal, and invisible, the only God, be honor and glory forever and ever. Amen. The Definition of Repentance the Greek word metanoia, which literally means “to change the mind.” Repentance fundamentally means to change your mind about something. It has to do with the way you think about something. You’ve been thinking one way, but now you think the opposite way. That’s repentance - the changing of the mind. Having wiped out the handwriting of requirements that was against us, which was contrary to us. And He has taken it out of the way, having nailed it to the cross. Having disarmed principalities and powers, He made a public spectacle of them, triumphing over them in it. Colossians 2:14-15 For all the talk of “nuclear disarmament,” are you aware that there is someone more sinister who has already been disarmed of his power over your life? The Bible says that God has “disarmed principalities and powers,” referring to Satan and his cohorts (Eph. 6:12). So the devil has already been disarmed. But do you know what weapon he was wielding before his forced disarmament? Today’s Scripture gives us the answer clearly: the devil was armed with the “handwriting of requirements that was against us.” On Mount Sinai, God wrote the Ten Commandments on two tablets of stone. The “handwriting of requirements” was thus a reference to the law that was written by the finger of God. Let me stress that the law is holy, just, and good. It was designed by God to expose man’s weaknesses, sins, and inability to be holy, just, and good so that man would see his need for a Savior. You need to understand that no amount of keeping the law can make you holy. Only the blood of Jesus can do that. The devil then armed himself with the law to accuse and condemn man. Now, listen carefully to this: God didn’t give the law to arm the devil, but the devil, knowing that the law was against us, took advantage of it and has been using it as his weapon to further alienate us from God. That’s why when God nailed the law to the cross, He made a public spectacle of the devil and all the powers of darkness! Once the law was nailed to the cross of Jesus, God knew that the law no longer had the power to condemn us as long as we believed on Jesus. Therefore, when you know and believe that Jesus has fulfilled completely the righteous requirements of the law on our behalf, the devil cannot use the law to condemn you every time you fail. Today, if the enemy uses the law to point out your sins, look to the cross of Jesus and reject the condemnation. You may say, “No one can blot out God’s handwriting.” Yes, you are right. No man can, but God can! And God did it righteously. My friend, you have been redeemed from the curse of the law. The devil and his crew have been disarmed. Hallelujah! Refuse to subject yourself any longer to the old covenant system of the law. Don’t put the weapon of the law back into the devil’s hands. Every teaching that says, “You have to keep the law to be blessed by God,” is doing just that. Reject such legalistic teachings and rest in the truth of God’s disarmament and grace. The more you believe and embrace the truth of His grace, the more you are empowered to experience victory over your failings and challenges. This is how you reign, and when you reign, the devil doesn’t! 🌈🌊🔥🍷🥖✝️❣💯🏃♂️🏃♂️🏃♂️🏃♂️🏃♂️ When we fail and fall short of the law’s perfect standard, that is the time we should exercise our faith to say, “I am the righteousness of God in Christ.” At that very moment when you are seething in anger at your spouse, or when you have just lost your cool on the road, it takes faith to say that you are righteous because you know that you have missed it. And you know what? The moment you say it, even if you are still in the midst of your anger, you will feel like you have ushered something good into that situation. You take a step back and start to relax, and the anger dissipates as you begin to realize your true identity in Christ. Men, if you see a scantily clad woman on television or on the cover of a magazine and you are tempted, what is your first response? Are you sin-conscious or righteousness-conscious? Sin-consciousness will draw you to succumb to your temptation, whereas righteousness-consciousness gives you the power to overcome every temptation. That is why the enemy wants to keep you sin-conscious. Confessing your sins all the time keeps you sin-conscious. It is as if Jesus did not become your sin on the cross. Righteousness-consciousness keeps you conscious of Jesus. Every time you speak it, you magnify the work of Jesus on the cross. So believe and speak the truth: “I am the righteousness of God in Christ.” Then, you cannot help but see the results of magnifying the Lord Jesus and His finished work! NO LOVE COMPARES TO OUR FATHER'S LUV 💯🖤🤎💜💙💚💛🧡❤🤍❣💯✝️🥖🍷🔥🌊🥰🥳 I tell you the truth, anyone who believes in me will do the same works I have done, and even greater works, because I am going to be with the Father. 13You can ask for anything in my name, and I will do it, so that the Son can bring glory to the Father. 14Yes, ask me for anything in my name, and I will do it! Jesus Promises the Holy Spirit
Brian Simmons has made a new translation of the Psalms (and now the whole New Testament) which aims to ‘re-introduce the passion and fire of the Bible to the English reader.’ He achieves this by abandoning all interest in textual accuracy, playing fast and loose with the original languages, and inserting so much new material into the text that it is at least 50% longer than the original. The result is a strongly sectarian translation that no longer counts as Scripture; by masquerading as a Bible it threatens to bind entire churches in thrall to a false god. -Andrew G. Shead
First Nathaniel was up on the tree not under it. Second when Jesus said " Destroy this building and I will raise it in 3 days He said it to the disciples not the priests. I understand it's a different version, but it does make a big difference. And your voice is beautiful. Just saying.
To as many as receive, open their heart to Him, become Sons Of God, The Father, born not of flesh and blood, the will of man's vain empty brain, schooled by his mamma n daddy babelville money, with the temporary delusional power and control which comes with it, rather birthed of Spirit and Truth The Word Of God The Father@ tummy filled with Righteous Joy Peace in The Holy Ghost @
Hey Sean I understand what you mean, but the translator chose this phrase instead of the Word. But I just think this phrase enhances what we already know about the Word. What do you think, brother? 😀
Hi Sean, thought you made a good comment so I pulled up Strongs Concordance to confirm the actual wording of John. "The Word" / "Living Expression" is G3004 if you're interested, defined as: "something said (including the thought); by implication a topic (subject of discourse) also reasoning (the mental faculty) or motive; by extension a computation; specifically (with the article in John) the Divine Expression (that is Christ)" In a nutshell it looks like both usages are accurate. I'm an academic so issues of translation really capture me, God bless and thank you for the point of interest
If The Lord is all knowing why would he randomly decide the scripture written by prophets and disciples, influenced by the Holy Spirit isn’t good enough? This is not scripture, this is not God-breathed. It’s not even a “translation” this is the rambling of a man who lied about his credentials to translate, and claims God “downloaded” secrets into his mind. It might make you feel good, or closer to God, but that’s irrelevant. As a convert myself I can (years ago) take drugs like DMT and feel WAY more inspired than you are from this reading. I’ll even talk to God too! But does this mean it’s valid? Absolutely not. It’s a delusion. Just like this book. You should feel better because Jesus is the truth and the light, his sacrifice on the cross is inspiration. This modification of the Bible is dangerous.
Everyone, please don't read the Passion Translation. It's absolutely full of words and even paragraphs that are not in Any of the original manuscripts. Do not let the creator of it fool you.
"The Living Expression"? Good grief - that's as far as I'm going! It's a travesty to call this a 'translation' - it's a one-man paraphrase, and utterly worthless for serious study - in fact, some of it is just plain wrong. Yet it doesn't even have the one redeeming feature of a paraphrase - readability - it's awkward and lumpy because it tries to be something it's not. If you want a paraphrase, the Living Bible runs rings around this ill-conceived nonsense.
@@Lovecrazedgurl the living translation changes God's word.. So do most new Bible translation's.. For instance, Jesus is called the morning star and satan was called son of the morning but they changed satan's name to the morning star as well.. Why would they change that?... And I mean no disrespect
@@Thomas_Jefferson_420 I don’t get a tone of disrespect from you 🙂. I respect what you have to say and I understand what you mean. I suppose it all boils down to choice and reading a version that brings you close to Him.
