I’m Shocked by How Many Pastors Are Using This Deceptive Bible

Sooo here’s what happened in order: 1. I saw this year's lineup for the Kenneth Copeland Southwest Believers Convention. (SWBC.) 2. I was shocked at the leaders who were still aligning with Copeland (Bill Johnson, Creflo Dollar, Benny Hinn, etc), and I shared the lineup on social media. 3. After I shared this, someone pointed out that Creflo Dollar uses a translation called the “Mirror Translation.” 4. ...the "what" translation? I then looked up said translation. I. Was. SHOOKETH. Turns out Creflo Dollar is just the tip of the iceberg. Many Word of Faith and Bethel leaders endorse and use this translation. This video is what I found. Here’s a quote from François du Toit, the creator of the Mirror that expresses the heart behind his paraphrase: “The mission of Jesus was not to begin the Christian religion but to reveal and redeem the image and likeness of God in human form. He did not come as an example for us but of us. Much of popular Christian doctrine reduce the life and teaching of Jesus to yet another ‘display-window’ message, while the very intent of God was to uncover the blueprint life of our design in Christ as in a mirror, where he is introduced to us not as Christ in history, or Christ in outer space, nor even as Christ in a future event, but as Christ in you!” Wow, a translation that teaches a different Gospel and says that you’re divine? Sounds like a bunch of theological nopey nonsense to me. And too many leaders are teaching this nonsense to others.
