[Faith-talk] Bible Translations

[Joshua Lester]

The Message, or the "Mess," Bible is a paraphrase, not a translation.
There's a whole lot of New-Age stuff in it.
Jimmy Swaggart has some great commentary on it here.

Look for a program on Bible translations, in the program archives.
Blessings, Joshua
