KFLCC / New Age Bible Versions - Gail Riplinger

The Hindu 'bible', the Bhagavad Gita meaning 'Song of the Divine One', is currently very popular among New Agers. It is a lengthy tale in which 'the One' tells Aijuna to be "utterly passive" (to use Palmer's words) as he kills in God's service. 'The One', that is, the universe, is merely 'cleansing itself. Dark Secrets of the New Age says,"[T]he Christian's failure to trust the One will be fatal," as the bible foretold:69

[BJeheaded for the witness of Jesus, and for the word of God, and which had not worshipped the beast, neither his image, neither had received his mark upon their foreheads, or in their hands. Revelation 20:4

Can you just imagine how the following new verses could be plucked out of context and used to encourage worship of the image of the beast, and murder in his "service." In the NASB 'the One' is God (II Thessalonians 2:4); he has an image; and he beheads those whom he chooses.

NASB [T]rue knowledge according to the image of the One. . . Colossians 3:10 [W]ith loud crying and tears to the One able to save from death. Hebrews 5:7 The One who has the sharp two-edged sword. Revelation 2:12 But I will warn you whom to fear: fear the One who after he has killed.. .Luke 12:5

Lest those killed should see themselves as "martyrs," all

references to martyrs have been removed in new versions.
