The Passion Translation and the Danger of Adding to God’s Word

Episode Summary

In this episode of NAR to Christ, Dawn Hill examines concerns surrounding The Passion Translation and the larger issue of how Christians should evaluate Bible translations, paraphrases, prophetic claims, and spiritual experiences.Rather than treating any teacher, movement, or resource as above examination, believers are called to test everything by the written Word of God. Scripture warns against adding to God’s words, turning aside from sound doctrine, and following teaching that appeals to itching ears rather than biblical truth.This episode considers why Christians must remain anchored in the authority, sufficiency, and clarity of Scripture. Dawn discusses the importance of discernment, the danger of emotional language replacing careful biblical interpretation, and the need to submit every impression, claim, and teaching to the unchanging Word of God.
