Controversial new Dutch Bible cuts out difficult gospel passages

A new Bible translation produced in Holland that aims to be more attractive and market-oriented is causing controversy after it cut out difficult parts surrounding economic justice, possessions and money.

Chairman W. R De Rijke said the foundation has reacted to a growing wish of many churches to be market-oriented and more attractive.

"I am a fellow servant with you and with your brothers the prophets and of all who keep the words of this book. (emphasis mine)" Rev 22:8 :37:

Well its just another attempt to one up God, we men are so prideful and arrogant and in this lets add ignorant. The scripture warns against this type of thing and they are not the first to add or take away from God's word to suit their own purposes.

Thanks for sharing this post with us.

Blessings, Beth

Wow! It seems most Christians ignore the "difficult parts" anyway, but to actually remove them! These people are exposing themselves to some serious judgment. Typical liberal reasoning though; they'll do the thinking for everybody else.

True christians accept all of what the bible says. I do.

The point of this new version is highlight that Christians don't follow some of the Bible. Anyway, most Christians, other than the most liberal, insist that they accept all of what the Bible says, but few do. For example, the majority of Evangelical Christians reject Galatians 3:29. It's a major point of doctrine that is repeated many times in the Bible, such as John 8.

the bottom line on the highlight of this new version...is to make a mockery of the word of God. It is designed to show people that they can do what they want, when they want and to whom they want. After all, look at the things that were removed

In it, some of the most important passages of the Bible: the Ten Commandments, sections of Isaiah, Proverbs, and the Sermon on the Mount, contain holes where the original translation urged radical actions around money, justice or affluence.
action taken by man to remove what is written in the bible. Come on...it is to downplay and make light of the Word. I for one am appalled.

woe to those who add or subtract to the word of God...they price WILL be heavy..

Even so, come Lord Come!!

Thanks for sharing this with us Ayin Jade,

It's no surprise that people would start doing this outwardly. It's been along time thing that if one does not like something they read in the Bible they ignore it and they tear it out in their spirits and hearts anyway. Stands to reason that an outward manefestation in the natural was only around the corner. In the future ahead I wonder if any of the Bible will be left after man gets done with it as they are doing in their hearts already. The concept is if you don't like what is on that page of the Bible tear it out and ignore it. One page at a time the Word is slowly being torn away by those who are lifted up in the pride of their own souls.

I have been predicting for years that the result of all the modern translations would be the printing of new Bibles tailored to fit the audience.

On the bright side, no "tailored" (talk about euphemisms) translation that has been widely accepted. Practically no one will buy this abridged version that this thread is about.

I would disagree with that assumption. It will likely wind up in Christian Book stores, along side other translations. People will pick it up and see it as just another modern English Bible. They will purchase it in good faith, and be trusting in a lie. Also, as I have already pointed out, the current modern versions already leave out portions of scripture but are more deceptive and claim they do so because "the most reliable manuscripts leave them out."

That is why I am thankful to have a good Christian Book store in my area that won't sell anything but the King James Version Bibles. They won't even order modern translations when a customer requests it. We need more Christians to follow suit. While they have a Baptist bias, and I am not Baptist, I have a great deal of respect for their standing up for principle over money.

What about the amplified? Which one is the most accurate?

We are not going to turn this into a KJV-only thread are we? I won't be throwing away my NIV, or my ESV, or my NASB, or my Amplified bible or even my KJV anytime soon. The NIV is not watered down, it doesn't have parts 'cut out.' So let's not go there, ok? It's easier to read. It's that simple.

that's exactly what is happening.. :24:

    • You are coming up higher in this season – above the assignments of character assassination and verbal arrows sent to manage you, contain you, and derail your purpose. Where you have had your dreams and sleep robbed, as well as your peace and clarity robbed – leaving you feeling foggy, confused, and heavy – God is, right now, bringing freedom back -- now you will clearly see the smoke and mirrors that were set to distract you and you will disengage.

      Right now God is declaring a "no access zone" around you, and your enemies will no longer have any entry point into your life. Oil is being poured over you to restore the years that the locust ate and give you back your passion. This is where you will feel a fresh roar begin to erupt from your inner being, and a call to leave the trenches behind and begin your odyssey in your Christ calling moving you to bear fruit that remains as you minister to and disciple others into their Christ identity.

      This is where you leave the trenches and scale the mountain to fight from a different place, from victory, from peace, and from rest. Now watch as God leads you up higher above all the noise, above all the chaos, and shows you where you have been seated all along with Him in heavenly places where you are UNTOUCHABLE. This is where you leave the soul fight, and the mind battle, and learn to fight differently.

      You will know how to live like an eagle and lead others to the same place of safety and protection that God led you to, which broke you out of the silent prison you were in. Put your war boots on and get ready to fight back! Refuse to lay down -- get out of bed and rebuke what is coming at you. Remember where you are seated and live from that place.

      Acts 1:8 - “But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you, and you will be my witnesses … to the end of the earth.”

    • Understanding the Enemy!

      I thought I write about the flip side of a topic, and how to recognize the attempts of the enemy to destroy lives and how you can walk in His victory!

      For the Apostle Paul taught us not to be ignorant of enemy's tactics and strategies.

      2 Corinthians 2:112  Lest Satan should get an advantage of us: for we are not ignorant of his devices. 

      So often, we can learn lessons by learning and playing "devil's" advocate.  When we read this passage,

      Mar 3:26  And if Satan rise up against himself, and be divided, he cannot stand, but hath an end. 
      Mar 3:27  No man can enter into a strong man's house, and spoil his goods, except he will first bind the strongman; and then he will spoil his house. 

      Here we learn a lesson that in order to plunder one's house you must first BIND up the strongman.  While we realize in this particular passage this is referring to God binding up the strongman (Satan) and this is how Satan's house is plundered.  But if you carefully analyze the enemy -- you realize that he uses the same tactics on us!  Your house cannot be plundered -- unless you are first bound.   And then Satan can plunder your house!

    • Abraham and Issac: Pictures of the Resurrection, Part 2
      Shalom everyone,

      As we continue this series the next obvious sign of the resurrection in the Old Testament is the sign of Isaac and Abraham.

      Gen 22:1  After these things God tested Abraham and said to him, "Abraham!" And he said, "Here I am."
      Gen 22:2  He said, "Take your son, your only son Isaac, whom you love, and go to the land of Moriah, and offer him there as a burnt offering on one of the mountains of which I shall tell you."

      So God "tests" Abraham and as a perfect picture of the coming sacrifice of God's only begotten Son (Yeshua - Jesus) God instructs Issac to go and sacrifice his son, Issac.  Where does he say to offer him?  On Moriah -- the exact location of the Temple Mount.
