KFLCC / New Age Bible Versions - Gail Riplinger

TREND TWO Western word warriors traveling east on the semantic bridge have matched moves with the mystics. Since Buddha, Krishna, and Lucifer became 'the Christ', 'the Lord', and 'the One', editors riding the new version bandwagon east have changed Jesus and Jehovah to 'the Christ', 'the Lord' and 'the One'—all a response to the call for a common language and the crowning of the Nameless God of occultism. The Metaphysical Bible Dictionary , a standard source for New Age beliefs, chides those who refuse to join the new age/new version move to replace personal names with impersonal titles. Those who personalize God, Christ, Devil, and localize heaven and hell are the Pharisees of the present time. 1 8 In this New Age 'name game', new versions have substituted 'titles' which transport the reader immediately to a list of Satan's latest poison pen names. The rock scene sings of Lord Satan (Venum) who's "a new god" and "a star from the east" (Wang Chung). New Agers refer to Lucifer as "the One," "the Spirit of the Age" and a "divine being." Now new versions point readers to Satan instead of God.
