On the Streets of Babylon - New Bible "Translation"?


Babylon is fallen, is fallen,..
 Come out of her, my people,
Revelation 14:8/18:4
There's a new Bible "translation" on the Streets of Babylon...so be careful when crossing the street out there....

"There is a new bible translation interpretation … let’s just cut to the chase, it’s not even a bible. It’s a collection of fiction stories that have a somewhat similar theme to the Scriptures but adds a whole lot of personal imagination to it.
 
This new storybook is called The Passion Translation. It’s popular among the New Apostolic
Apostate Reformation (NAR) crowd and quoted regularly by hyper-charismatic false teachers like Bill Johnson and Mike Bickle. The book was translated embellished by “Apostle” Brian Simmons, a former missionary in Panama. Brian Simmons claims that God gave him a direct divine revelation to create this embellished and highly interpreted creation that he refers to as The Passion Translation.

Avoid this piece of work, and Brian Simmons, like the plague.
For the time is coming when people will not endure sound teaching, but having itching ears they will accumulate for themselves teachers to suit their own passions, and will turn away from listening to the truth and wander off into myths. — 2 Timothy 4:3-5 (ESV)." Pen&Pulpit
