I recently looked at a Eugene Peterson book. You know what it said at the top? “From the author of The Message.”
Did you catch that, folks? The Message is a supposed version of the Bible, isn’t it? Is Eugene Peterson claiming to be the author of the Bible? It appears so. You see what happens when folks stray from the true, authorized, only-inerrant version of the Bible: they write a mess like The Message, and then they begin to believe they wrote the Bible themselves. That’s what compromise will do to you.
We learned recently that the editors of the NIV pee sitting down. My guess is Eugene Peterson started peeing sitting down long, long ago. But The Message goes far beyond the NIV in distorting the Bible. By the time Peterson wrote The Message, I think it’s safe to say he had already started peeing while laying down.
That’s right, folks. Eugene Peterson pees the bed.

I guess that is the final result of what happens when you get away from the Monarch Jimmy Version of the Bible.
1611 forever.
Oh, Fred, your insight just astounds me! (and makes me laugh out loud-but Holy laughter mind)
