Let us remember that David was a “man after God’s own heart” (Acts 13:22) but he was not God. The Message denigrates the uniqueness and deity of Jesus. Consider John 10:30 “I and the Father are one” where the Message reads, ” I and the Father are one heart and mind.” This gives a different connotation entirely from the statement of Trinitarian unity that is in John 10:30.As Justin Peters points out (link to article below), The NASB, NIV, and KJV are all practically identical, save for the insertion of a personal pronoun found in the latter. The Message Bible waters down, if not removes entirely, the deity of Christ.

Peterson affirmed “gay marriage” and then retracted his statements as soon as he realized that Life Way, the largest “Christian” Bookstore would stop selling his materials. Peterson that prevent me from ever endorsing any of his works and most especially The Message Paraphrase. There are some concerns that I have about Dr. Lastly, the ending of the Model Prayer in The Message Paraphrase is less of a prayer and more of orgasmic language The Message repeatedly fails to give the Scripture its reverence due and we don’t even have time to discuss the New Age language (as above, so below). Like Peter Satan has demanded to try us and our prayer is for deliverance from his power and from the end result of yielding to Satan but The Message Paraphrase removes that. “Deliver us from the Evil One” is our ultimate prayer. We pray “lead us not into temptation” asking God to lead us away from the storms of life and into His best for us. “You’re in charge! You can do anything you want!” does not really fit with either the Greek or Latin renditions of this text. While “we honor your holy name” is not the greatest word choice, we are still left with the idea that God is apart from us and deserving of honor and reverence. There is a lack of reverence in the Message. Keep us safe from ourselves and the Devil. Keep us forgiven with you and forgiving others. 13 Don’t bring us into temptation, but deliver us from the Evil One. 11 Give us our food again today, as usual, 12 and forgive us our sins, just as we have forgiven those who have sinned against us. May your will be done here on earth, just as it is in heaven. 10 We ask that your kingdom will come now. Let’s start with the language and we will use the Model Prayer in Matthew 6:9-13 as our example text.ĩ “Pray along these lines: ‘Our Father in heaven, we honor your holy name. After careful research there are a couple reasons why I reject The Message. I have been asked, a few times, why I will use The Living Bible Paraphrase but reject The Message Bible Paraphrase with some even saying that both are simply harmless paraphrases.
