Product Description
God’s Word was meant to be read. But more than that, it was meant to be understood. It was first written in the language of the people––of fishermen, shopkeepers, and carpenters. The Message Remix gets back to that: You can read it and know it.
In The Message Remix, there are new verse-numbered paragraphs that will help you study and find favorite passages. Or, you can just read it like a book and let the narrative speak to you. After all, it is God’s tale, with its heroes and villains, conflicts and resolutions. Either way, it’s God’s Word––the Truth––in a user-friendly form.

If I could give this 0 stars, I would.
The Message is a paraphrase, and a terrible one at that.
If you want to study the Scripture for all it contains, get a real Bible. This supposed ‘Bible’ changes many verses into watered down platitudes as a replacement for of the inspired Word of God that it is.
All this is is a book to accompany the Purpose Driven Drivel. Be a Berean! Flee from this type of dumbed down pop-culture 4th grade read and find a Bible you can study verse by verse and word by word. You cannot use genuine study materials with this. Don’t settle! Be discerning. Doctrine is not a dirty word!

Not that putting the Scriptures into words that can be understood is a terrible thing, but that as a singular goal in and of itself is shameful. This method detaches the Scriptures from what they have permanently existed as: perfectly gorgeous, heroic verse, majestic Prose, a treasure from heaven, something that surpasses everything that conforms to the zeitgeist. In additional words, the Scriptures are meant to transcend the fads of our day and lift us outside time into the presence of God. All that this and many additional modern translations do is constantly remind us that we are in the 21st century and surrounded by multitudes of T.V.-softened brains and Britney-Spears-listening pop fanatics. The Scriptures are meant not only to be understood, but to communicate the life and grace of Christ to us: something that exists outside of time and is therefore unchanged by it. I am sorry to see such putrescent translations (and composition and television) pouring out of the Evangelical Community. I am sick and tired of it and this translation just goes too far. “Contemporary Language”? That sounds like an excuse to be irreverent, shallow, and philosophically deprived. It is translations like this that secretly make me wish the Scriptures simply remained in Latin.
I pray that the youth of our day, as a replacement for of trying to conform Christianity to their own idioms, will transform themselves (or rather let God transform them) to fit with what Christianity is and permanently has been: the glorious and very ancient faith. Persons two paths are incompatible and so one must be chosen over the additional. I choose the latter; people who insist on such rubbish as this choose the ex-.
A piece of advice: do you want the Scriptures to have more meaning for you? Turn off the television and start reading books: not the modern rubbish, but excellent, classical literature from around the world. Not the Newspaper, not the internet, but Books. Read Virgil, C.S. Lewis, Chesterton, Homer, Dickens…that should be a excellent list to start you off. Also, turn off your Britney Spears and either keep five minutes of silence or listen to Bach, Tallis, Byrd, and even Beethoven if you must. Once you do that for a time, the Scriptures will take on entirely new meaning, and you won’t have to ruin their Sacredness in the process.

This book (it is not a translation or a Bible) is an abomination to say the least.
The meanings of many many verses have been changed as anyone who has read a real Bible would know if he/she compared them side by side.
ABOMINABLE

This is not the right word of God. I realize how seductive it is because people are so much more confortable
with the contemporary versions these days, never mind the devious undermining of the truth.
This is a perversion and if you really want to know the TRUTH you will not get this version or the NIV
or any of the additional so called modern versions that are undermining the diety of Christ in devious ways.
The Niv is missing several texts all together!! And this so called Bible is coming out of and supports
the Spiritual Formation and the Emergent Church movement that is infiltrating Christianity today.
Satan knows the best way to bring God’s people down is to work from the inside. So all these authors
like Rick Warren, Thomas Merton, Leonard Sweet, Dallas Willard, Brian McLaren and others are pushing this agenda
introducing contemplative prayer or centering prayer into Christianity. Friends, let me tell you, before I became
a Christian, a Bible believing Christian, I was a “New Ager” (which isn’t really new, it’s right out of very ancient Babylon, it’s paganism, it’s Satan’s deception). It all sounds so nice, so wonderful but no where in the Bible
are we taught to pray like this.
Let me clarify what this is…contemplative or centering prayer is where you get in a silent room, you may light some candles, or infuriate, maybe have some pictures or idols that help you to focus on God…and you may do some slow and deep breathing trying to silent the mind. Then you may pick a axiom
like God is holy or whatever it may be and you repeat that axiom over and over for about 20 minutes.
(Jesus says we are not to pray with vain repetition as the heathen do, and no where do you ever see this kind
of prayer endorsed in a REAL Bible) This is right out of mysticism and there were Christian mystics but it is not
of the right God. This is hypnotism, and when we empty our minds like this we place ourselves open to Satan.
God says: Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt like the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind. (Matthew 22:37) We are to use our MIND, not empty it. We are not trying to get ourselves into an altered state when we are praying to God. The Message Bible is what this Spiritual Formation/Emergent Church movement endorses. This is a deception. Beware!
This is feel excellent spiritualism, not Christianity.
If you want to know the full implications of what this deception really means and how it can lead
you astray with eternal consequences, please go to [...] for resources.
May God bless you in your sincere search to know Him in truth and spirit.
