32 Severely Corrupted Scriptures in the New Living Translation (NLT) Bible
From the Orthodox Ecclesiology & The World Blog.
Few Christians realize that there have been over 200 new Bible translations published just within the last 30 years. It’s blatantly obvious that this evil is the result of much greed and love for money (1st Timothy 6:10). So as the world plunges further into the depths of wickedness and apostasy, new translations must follow along if they are to sell. Let’s face it, the corrupters who are publishing demonic bibles are all out to make a fast buck, filthy lucre! In order to reach the largest market base possible, they trim and water down the Scriptures as much as tolerable. To be politically correct, rather than Scripturally correct, gender-inclusive language is used.
This is evil. It is obvious that the NLT’s “thought-for-thought” methodology, while making the translation easier to understand, is less accurate than a literal (formal equivalence) method, and thus the New Living Translation Bible is absolutely not suitable for those wishing to undertake detailed study of the Bible. Here are 32 of the most severe errors I could find in the NLT (New Living Translation) Bible.
