Chris Rosebrough, host of the Fighting for the Faith radio program spent time reviewing The Voice which is the Emergent church’s new “translation” of the Bible on the November 18th edition of his program. Rosebrough is reporting that that the Emergent ‘translators’ purposely mis-translated 1 Corinthians 6:9 and removed the reference to the sin of homosexuality that is found in that passage.

The passage should read:

1Cor. 6:9   Or do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived: neither the sexually immoral, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor men who practice homosexuality…

But, The Voice aka The New Emergent “Translation” reads:

1 Cor 6:9 Do you need reminding that the unjust have no share in the blessing of the Kingdom of God? Do not be misled. A lot of people stand to inherit nothing of God’s coming kingdom, including those whose lives are defined by sexual immorality, idolatry, adultery, sexual deviancy…

By mis-translating the greek work arsenokoites as “sexual deviancy” rather than correctly translating it as “homosexuality” the Emergent leaders behind The Voice are showing their true liberal bias and are deceitfully providing comfort to unrepentant homosexuals. This is just one of many disturbing problems with this new Emergent “bible”.
