Anger

[Daily verse and quote]

The bible version is "The Message" by Eugene Peterson.

[Daily verse and quote]

Many people, especially those new to the faith -

or ones who have had little or no exposure to the bible

can understand better what is being said

by using a bible which is in  the language of our times.

.

[Daily verse and quote]

I guess we will have to agree to disagree on this point.

I am not aware that The Message teaches any "untruths"

As I recall, when newer translations such as the N.I.V. came out,

there were "King James only" people who thought as you do.

Anyway, I respect your thoughts and comments.

I am not a bit crazy about “ The Message”........ but as has been said, “ The best  version of the Bible is one that you will read!”  Does that dry Paraphrase get The Actual “ Message” across to the Reader? That would be- you are a Lost Sinner ( a Conviction Given by the Holy Spirit )who needs to Turn To God ( Repentance ) with Faith in the Gospel Of Grace That Saves To the “ Uttermost” all That REST in it.I think any version of the Bible That can lead one into Believing these Basic Truths Of Salvation is adequate.It could even spur an interest in a better version.....the KJV and others....

“Go ahead and be angry. You do well to be angry—

but don't use your anger as fuel for revenge.

And don't stay angry.

Don't go to bed angry.

Don't give the Devil that kind of foothold in your life.”

Ephesians 4:26-27

That  is the MSG version of this in the ESV:

²⁶ Be ye angry, and sin not: let not the sun go down upon your wrath:

²⁷ Neither give place to the devil.

And this KJV;

²⁶ Be ye angry, and sin not: let not the sun go down upon your wrath:

²⁷ Neither give place to the devil.

and this NIV;

 “In your anger do not sin”: Do not let the sun go down while you are still angry, ²⁷ and do not give the devil a foothold.

 

The MSG is more one man's sermon to his kids, but it is not a Bible. It is a commentary to or for kids. And that is my, - opinion.

 

p.s. Here it is in the easy read version ERV;

²⁶ “When you are angry, don’t let that anger make you sin,” and don’t stay angry all day. ²⁷ Don’t give the devil a way to defeat you.

[Daily verse and quote]

I have never heard of the ERV bible.

But I agree with what "Blood Bought" said:

"I think any version of the Bible that can lead one into Believing these Basic Truths Of Salvation is adequate."

[Daily verse and quote]

I am "up in the air" about what you said.

True, the Jehovah Witness translation is not accurate.

But I also believe that the New World Translation will not

lead someone to a saving knowledge of Christ - which is fundamental

to salvation.

Is that not correct?

[Daily verse and quote]

Thank you for your suggestion.

You don't want anyone to be led astray in reading The Message -

and neither do I.

By the way, I rarely use The Message" in my bible verse posts.

I dont think so. Have you see the New Word Translation of The Bible, for instance? The Message is not a Bible. Not a Bible at all. Its a twisted paraphrase of some mans idea of what he wants others to think the Bible says, including an unhealthy sprinkling of Gnosticism and New Age woo. He hasnt attempted, by his own admission, to translate the Bible. He has added to, and taken away from scripture. He has perverted God Own Holy Word and introduced pagan thinking into it.

 

 

Sorry but either Bood Bought is wrong or didnt mean you to take his words the way you have.

Knowing how unlikely the former scenario is.....it must be the Latter.....lol

anger hurts the soul and the body so let it go with all the hate and fear  that cause it ...
