Exposing Religious Lies EP90

From the transcript...

It’s like—we read through all these translations. We started with the New King James, of course, and I was raised on the old King James. That language, and the discussions I heard about these verses, shaped a whole lot of my original belief system.

But as time has gone on, and I’ve studied and followed the Lord, I began to change what I was originally taught or believed about those things.

By the time we get to the Passion Translation, it encompasses more of what I now think about those verses that I used to read in the King James. How I think about them now is much closer to what I’m reading in the Passion Translation than what I used to believe.

And I say that because I want to promote another brother’s book here. That’s not the cover, I know—but James is in the process of writing a second book called The Gospel I Grew Up On. It’s still in its editing stages; this is just an early copy to work through and edit.

The idea behind the book—and a little behind the conversations that we have, even in Finding Our Way—is that we’ve realized we have had a similar, shared journey of following the Lord. How we used to think about the Bible, the gospel, Jesus, and salvation has changed, grown, and gotten better and better over our lifetime.
