Summary

This was my favorite interview so far on The Passion Translation. I'm really hoping that those who are open to hearing the evidence will consider ditching Brian Simmons' Passion Translation. The evidence is mounting up more and more that this is not a good or faithful Bible translation. As scholars weigh in on this work it's only becoming more and more evident that my early concerns about it were well-founded. I'm hoping that my brothers and sisters in the charismatic movement will have ears to hear this and that organizations like YouVersion, Bible Gateway and various Christian bookstores would stop carrying this problematic and misleading "translation". Stay tuned because I will start posting interviews with scholars VERY soon which will help to drive the final nail in the coffin of The Passion Translation. I love the word of God way too much to just stand by and tolerate such alterations being made to what God has said.

0:00.0	Thank you so much for tuning into this episode of Remnant Radio.
0:02.7	Okay, pause for just a second.
0:04.0	Everybody, this is Mike Winger.
0:05.4	I just wanted to let you know that what you're about to hear is really my favorite
0:09.7	interview I've done so far on the topic of the passion translation and it's for two specific
0:14.0	reasons one this interview brings new information that I have not yet shared before
0:18.4	I'm reading quotes from scholars who've been reviewing the passion translation as part of my Passion Project and I'm sharing
0:24.4	that with you here today. Also, it's one of my favorite interviews because I think it's
0:28.9	accessible to those who love the Passion Translation. That is this interview is going to build a bridge, I hope, with those who don't want to hear the demonization or the attacks, but they do want to hear a thoughtful explanation as to why there might be a serious problem with this translation.
0:44.1	So here you go, this is the interview, thanks to the guys at Remnant Radio for bringing me on.
0:49.1	So we're talking about the Passion translation of the Bible and I know a lot of Christians have really felt like they
0:56.2	benefited from this they felt like it's brought them closer to God and they're
1:01.2	going to feel like if we posture ourselves we posture ourselves a certain way they could feel like what's about to come is going to be some kind of attack.
1:08.8	And so how should we posture ourselves as we talk about the passion translation?
1:15.0	Yeah, hearts man. People's hearts matter and we often view things through our hearts.
1:21.0	It's as though our eyes are actually down here and we look out through our heart and how we feel and it flavors how we see everything.
1:28.0	And so a lot of people have a real love for this translation because they feel like it's ministered to them like it's blessed them it's
1:33.6	helped them and for those people I want to I want to sort of boldly say to you what is
1:38.7	our first commandment our first commitment is to love God with all of our hearts, soul, mind, and strength.
1:45.2	Second, love others as myself and then I come last. And if I start with me and what has
1:51.9	blessed me and what I feel good about and I make that central to me,
1:57.1	then that would keep me trapped in any number of problematic things.
