MY TESTIMONY: I was manipulated to believing that the passion translation was GOD'S ordained WORD. I ordered a copy and the information provided many of which have no biblical foundation. I realized that whenever I read it I would find myself slumbering and this happened for about a year. After listening to Apostle Joshua Selman, I prayed to ask GOD that THE SPIRIT OF TRUTH exposed every false doctrine in my possession. In at early morning hours the next day, while praying I again decided to open the passion translation app on my phone to read scriptures. Immediately, I went to the app, I heard the VOICE ' APOSTASY'. I immediately deleted it and the slumbering immediately ceased, I also dispose of the hard copy after a warning from GOD to get it out of my home completely.

I agree. Passion translation is not a translation, but absolutely corrupted thing. I was so shocked to read it today.

No! Please watch Mike Winger/Bible Thinkers channel, also. He has videos of in-depth studies on the Passion Translation. It's demonic.

Spot-on analysis of The Passion Translation!

The passion translation seems to be for those with itching ears

Thank you for this truth

No one must allow himself to be persuaded, by any arguments whatever, to decorate the Psalms with extraneous matter or make alterations in their order or change the words themselves. They must be sung and chanted with entire simplicity, just as they are, so that … the Spirit, Who spoke by the saints, recognizing the selfsame words that He inspired, may join us in them too. - Athanasius

This man claims that and angel came to him in his room called passion and gave him extra revelation he named it passion translation after because he had seen library 📚 in heaven. Seriously if that doesn’t cause anyone to run far away from this then nothing will.

This answers my question about TPT. Glad I saw this before buying it.

Thanks brother

Good fire material.

Always, there are critics. But you, rightly divide the word of truth. Study to show yourself approved. You will know them by their fruit. And we will be known by our love. TPT is beautiful and so is KJV, ESV, etc.

2Ti 2:15 Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth. KJV

I would agree that the issues with Brian Simmons are even more troubling with the translation.

The passion translation is made for passion seekers devoid of truth. It is tailored for the hypersensual charismatics. I stick with the KJV and NASB

Run!

I have never read the Passion translation, nor do I endorse it in any way, BUT other than Mike Winger most people who criticize the work (including this video) do so almost entirely via argument ad hominem. If you have specific concerns about the work I wish you would spell it out, but attacking the individual does nothing to tell me why the work is without merit.

Thanks.

My biggest problem with this translation is that God is referred to as Jehovah all over the place. Jesus never called God Jehovah, he called God "the Father." My personal faith question with this is, Jehovah was a name later added , which replaced Yahweh. It is the name meant to refer to the characteristic of "an avenging god." In exodus it represents "The Lord is my banner." My struggle with this is also, that the Sumerians who worshipped deities, worshipped the diety of Jehovah. Christians love to call upon all these various names of God, like these different faces of the one God. This is exactly what Hindu's do as well. They worship the many faces of God through various names, then they start worshipping the names, then they give form to these names, and before you know it you have diety worship. Trust me I studied the ancient vedas and in hindu temples and it was all based on calling upon the names of God! It's the one thing that God is convicting me of that Christians promote but don't speak about. When Moses asked God what do I call you, he said "I am." It is a name that cannot be spoken actually. Jesus taught us to refer to God as our Father, then why are we calling God by these various names?

If anyone wants to get rid of their passion Bible I’ll take it.

Rev. 22:18,19

Will you go to Heaven? Here’s a quick test: Have you ever lied, stolen, or used God’s name in vain? Jesus said, “Whoever looks at a woman to lust for her has already committed adultery with her in his heart.” If you have done these things, God sees you as a lying, thieving, blasphemous, adulterer at heart, and the Bible warns that one day God will punish you in a terrible place called Hell. But God is not willing that any should perish. Sinners broke God’s Law and Jesus paid their fine. This means that God can legally dismiss their case: “For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have you life.” Then Jesus rose from the grave, defeating death. Today, repent and trust Jesus, and God will give you eternal life as free gift. Then read the Bible daily and obey it. God will never fail you. (living waters/ray comfort) God bless

I think when someone claims that God has appeared to them with additions to the Bible then there's serious issues there. Simmons claims that God appeared to him in a dream showing him a book which is John chapter 22. I believe that was on Sid Roth's It's Supernatural, but if you search for it on KZfaq you should easily find it. But there are major issues with the TPT, and yes, I have read all of the books of the TPT that are available right now and own a copy for reference purposes only.

Just watched this and didn’t see anywhere that there’s a concrete example of heresy or something bad. It is definitely supplemental and should be used if you have read the KJV and can yourself understand both. But, this video concerns me - especially that the TPT is being called heresy.

I have a question about the TPT. I have studied with it for a while and I came across all the information about how bad it is. I have personally never found anything contradictory about it inside the text. I want to be smart though. Does anyone have specific examples of where its faulted in text? I am honestly trying to figure this out for myself.

I received a copy of the Passion Translation as a gift. I believe I will be returning it.

Ya know I’m not gonna say that he didn’t have the experience he claims he had with the Lord when he says he was commissioned to translate the Bible. I will say that Brian Simmons came and spoke at a church in Louisiana months ago, a church that I was attending at the time and there was something off about his messages. I could discern that something wasn’t right. I won’t get into details, but I do not recommend this translation AT ALL.

Made me think about King James Version, should we not read that? They’ve had to revise it because of incorrect translations. I personally have learned so much from the passion translation, but I also have other translations to go alongside , which I believe is always a healthy practise.

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."

Mmmmm do you not know that Louie Giglio met and bowed to the pope...I loved his How great is our God message but disappointed in him once I saw he bowed to the pope. Is he catholic?

I noticed they skipped Ezekiel 25

He meant Rev. 22 vv. 18-19

I will read from TPB then read from KJ and I see no wrong in that. If it helps people like me understand better.... God is Brian's judge. No man is perfect.

People who believe in the NAR are the same ones who believe Elvis is still alive.

But if we talk about the real truth real quick, is it not obvious that the Passion Ministry is also not a Christian ministry? Are they not part of WOF/NAR movement? Partnered with Bethel etc?

I think the scary thing is how many more words are added to the text. Words that are not found in the greek or hebrew. Accuracy of the scripture is extremely important. The Passion Translation is nothing more than indoctrination by scripture.

Sounds like the John Mcarthur bible serie. Full of interpretations.

Could it be religious people are but hurt about Brian Simmons being called buy God to do this work?

Amen! NAR are the people with the Holy Spirit 😊

No its not a translation. Its not a paraphrase. Its a re writing of the bible to make it say what Brian Simmons wants it to say. It is written so that the NAR (think churches like Bethel redding) has a bible to support their ideologies, doktrines and teachings. Normal translations that are done properly and honestly does not support the mystical and unbiblical practices and teachings of people like Bill Johnson, Che Ahn, Kris Vallotton, Brian Simmons, Heidi Baker etc.

No direct original language PT

It would have been nice if you had giving examples from the Passion Translation... Had the Translation there, pulled out Scription’s from that translation and proved it wrong instead of giving your OPINIONS ..All of the scriptures you quoted in this video should’ve been lined up to the passion translation and proven it was translated incorrectly ... so therefore people make your own decisions... spend time with God ....ask God ....compared the Passion Translation to your current Bible..I will ask God and I will study to show myself approved....

So you comepletely dismiss an entire branch of theology because of 1 translation? How does the passion translation completely invalidate teachers from the “NAR”? Can the foot say to the hand I don’t need you ?

I love the passion translation! It makes a lot of things more clear and it's very accurate.

The passion translation is my favorite when I read with my heart.

This guy admits that he's only looked at a little bit of the 'Passion Translation', gives no example of a verse that was incorrectly translated, yet tells people it's not a translation and encourages people not to read it... my recommedation: download the blue letter bible app and check out the greek/hebrew and ask Holy Spirit to illuminate truth. I personally think the Passion Translation is excellent and this guy who's bashing it ought to step off his high horse and stop following the crowd and actually do some research. Seriously... the dude actually said he only read a little bit of it and gives this critique. What a joke.

In its context that verse is referring to provision Paul is saying he’s learn to be content whatever situation he’s in So I agree if someone takes that scripture and builds a word by faith prosperity and literally nothing can stop me from what I want or want to do teaching then that’s seriously misquoting scripture And the charismatic Pentecostal church is rife with this kind of isejesus I know I was one for forty yrs Now I’m a charismatic Pentecostal evangelical Christian or cpe for short Yes I know but that’s another story on how I came about believing that title I would prefer to simply be called THE WAY➕🌈🇦🇺🇮🇱

The Passion Translation is not the Word of God, it is the word of Brian Simmons.

Not saying that the passion isn't all you say it is but the argument I heard you make is "we have theological differences therefore I don't trust his ability to accurately translate the Bible". You didn't even show one scripture verse that he translated incorrectly and show why it was an incorrect translation from the original language.... So I feel like I'm left with that I'm just supposed to take your word for it. I get that Eugene Peterson doesn't claim that his is a translation, but it honestly comes across as hypocritical that you were obviously in favor of his "adding to the word" via paraphrase simply because you agreed with his theology, but then were not okay with tpt doing the same... I would think that if it was merely a matter of the label of the type that you disagreed with, the theology would not have been your focus. I heard the argument "when there is correct theology then unbiased translation is possible" (correct me if that is not what you were meaning to say)... That argument assumes that your theology is correct... And could be equally espoused by those who disagree with your theology, in favor of other translations. In my opinion, EVERY translation should be viewed in light of the biases of the interpreters, perhaps even more so the ones that come from a similar theological background as ourselves. It is much easier to be convinced that the Bible says something that it doesn't when it lines up with what we've always believed, then when it doesn't line up with long held beliefs. As to his qualifications, I do not believe that particular organization is the only way to learn how to translate the Bible. Maybe his translations aren't accurate... But I'm not going to be convinced that they are or aren't because they didn't learn to translate the Bible in the way that I approve of. I've taught myself many things without going to formal education... I get that translating the Bible is more important, but translators are just people, even formally educated ones are not infallible and are influenced by their biases. And there are other names listed as aiding and reviewing the translation process... Maybe you should take the time to discredit them as well? I was not convinced one way or the other on the accuracy of the passion translation via this review.... Seemed like mostly opinion to me. Again, not saying the whole thing is to be trusted, but I went to Bible college. I spent weeks unraveling the meaning of some of Paul's texts, using the original languages. And the ones that I have read in the passion translation actually brought the same meanings across that I arrived at through study- and made it much easier to understand. nobody is arguing that taking verses out of context or misapplying them is detrimental... But the case against the passion translation doing that was not proved in my opinion.

I love the TPT ❤️. Jesus is perfect theology ❤️.

I stick with the (E)lect (S)tandard (T)ranslation 😅

The Passion Translation is not a translation; it is a paraphrase, and a very bad one, at that.

The passion translation is for the 21st century. I hate reading older translations with the usual: thou, thee, etc. The passion translation is accurate..

Passion translation is absolute nonsense, not word of God. But introduced as Bible. Hence deception.

No you shouldn't read it.

All the new Bibles after KJV have been changed or omitted scriptures. Deceiving even the elect.
