KFLCC / New Age Bible Versions - Gail Riplinger

masculine tense word is called for. Thirdly, the NASB completely removes the three critical words "and were afraid." This distinguishes vision from God from visions of the angel of light. The words "and were afraid" accompany truly heavenly visions throughout the bible. (i.e., Luke 2:9, 24:5, John 6:19, Daniel 8:17, and Revelation 1:17) Hollywood is preparing its patrons not to be afraid of these 'bright lights' with movies such as Close Encounters. Movies like E.T. desensitize viewers to the "ugly, horribly ugly" creature described by Mirjana Dragicevic. It seems Sylvania and Satan can produce bright lights', but the 'glory of God' is beyond anything special effects artists can produce using 500 watt elliptical reflectors or Fresnel lenses.

Superstition or Religion?

[T]hey became fools and changed the glory of the uncorruptible God into an image.. .Romans 1:22-25

In direct opposition to the second commandment, "Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven images...," new versions are carving a platform to support the idol worship that will fill the globe during the tribulation when they, "worship the image of the beast." (Revelation 13:15)

[RJepented not of the works of their hands that they should not worship devils and idols. Revelation 9:20

In the upside down world of recent versions, the apostle Paul’s harsh rebuke to the idol worshippers becomes a hearty compliment. Here, as in many other places, the New King James Version (NKJV) bows down to the idol of a false religion. NIV, NASB, et al. KJV

1observe that you are very religious in ail respects.

Acts 17:22

I perceive that in all things ye are too superstitious.
