Last week one of my readers sent me a message and a question I want to share with you. They're about Brian Simmons' Passion Translation. For those who don't know, Simmons is an apostle in the New Apostolic Reformation (NAR) movement, who claims that Christ visited him personally and commissioned him to produce a new translation of the Bible. His translation has sold very well and, sadly, has become the Bible of choice for a growing number of people in NAR. It's become popular despite Simmons' lack of qualifications to produce a reliable translation and despite the fact that he's smuggled NAR teachings into it, making it falsely appear that the Bible support those teachings.
