Summary

I'm not going to pull punches today. This isn't really a "translation" of the Bible. It is one man's attempt to replace the gospel with his own false teaching. His false teaching is truly heart warming and encouraging. Francois Du Toit is a brilliant man, skilled communicator and as far as I can tell he is absolutely sincere and well-meaning in replacing the gospel with his feel good message that the real problem with people is that they believe the gospel when it says that all have sinned, are deserving of judgment and need to be born again in Christ. I'm not exaggerating when I say that the Mirror Bible is the worst translation I've ever looked into. In today's video we will survey through a number of Bible passages he has mistranslated and explain how he is trying to fight against the clear teaching of the text and how he tries to use Greek to trick people (and himself) into believing his anti-gospel. Yeah, it's really that bad.

0:00.0	All right, this, hands down, no exaggeration at all.
0:05.9	The, actually the worst Bible translation I've ever seen.
0:08.9	It is not just problematic in that it misrepresents what scriptures teaching.
0:15.0	It's anti-Gosple in that it tries to invert the gospel.
0:20.0	You know, the author of this translation, who I'll talk about just a minute
0:23.7	he wants to undo the gospel and replace it with a message that's contrary to the
0:28.6	gospel it's just as extreme as it could possibly be this is the mirror Bible translation. Here's what it looks like
0:35.8	right here presented by Francois du toy and I'm not going to pull any punches today
0:42.3	because this is just anathematizing stuff,
0:45.3	like this is the worst thing you can get when it comes to the contents of a book.
0:51.6	And so I'm going to give you examples. We're going to go through the details. I'll show you how
0:55.4	Francois has mistranslated. I'll show you how he changed Bible verses to fit his false
0:59.3	teachings. So we're going to learn what his false teachings are and I'm going to show you
1:02.3	how he abuses Greek. Now this'm going to show you how he abuses
1:03.0	Greek now this is going to be fruitful for a lot of people and it might be a little
1:05.7	annoying to some because there are some particular habits people have when it comes to
1:11.6	abusing Greek something called the etymology that I'm
1:14.6	going to talk about and unpack in a little bit of detail, give you some examples.
1:18.9	Unfortunately, this means that depending on who your teachers are,
1:23.0	even who your pastor is, you may find
1:25.3	that they're using this fallacy on a lot.
1:27.7	And this will at least keep you from doing it too.
