Good for New Christians – Thought for Thought Bibles.

Some people use these their entire lives, which is fine.  We recommend moving up from thought for thought to literal translations noted above to enable exegesis of the Bible.

Theologians will give you great sections of the Bible to read, in context.

 

Avoid, Reject, Run

  • The Message Bible (MSG)
  • The Passion
  • The Living Bible (TLB)
  • New World Translation – Jehovahs witnesses rewrite of scripture, heretical. 
  • Book of Mormon – Reinterprets scripture including heretical doctrines. They use KJV Bible, but they preach, teach, and live by their book.
  • The YouVersion Bible App (It is free and full of charismatic false teacher references)

Churches using these Bibles should be avoided, like RUN!!
