Bible Version Comparisons, Part 16: The Doctrine of Sin
Posted by ProliferatingTruth on April 12, 2010
Isaiah 53:10 – "Yet it pleased the LORD to bruise him; he hath put him to grief: when thou shalt make his soul an offering for sin, he shall see his seed, he shall prolong his days, and the pleasure of the LORD shall prosper in his hand."
The Bible teaches that man possesses a nature which is prone to sin. This nature is called the "sin nature."
But new versions of the Bible change the word "sin," to the word "guilt," in Isaiah 53:10, thus relieving man of his accountability for his sins, and placing the blame for those sins solely upon God. Rewording of 1 John 5:19 blames the devil for sin, as did Eve. And modern psychology in the church reflects this propensity to transfer responsibility for sin, rather than to repent of one’s sin. Further, new versions alter many verses pertaining to sin, in order to present it in less relevant, less personal, and less severe, terms.

Bible Version Comparisons, Part 12: The Doctrine of Man
Posted by ProliferatingTruth on March 8, 2010
Psalm 8:4-5 – “What is man, that thou art mindful of him? and the son of man, that thou visitest him? 5 For thou hast made him a little lower than the angels, and hast crowned him with glory and honour.”
New versions of the Bible exalt man to a being who is “a little lower than God,” and omit any references to his fallen spiritual condition. Similarly, cults, the New Age movement, and false religions also raise mankind to the level of being either divine, or in the process of evolving into deities [gods].
