The Clear Word Bible: An Adventist Doctrinal Paraphrase. The Clear Word Bible, published in 1994 by Seventh-day Adventist theologian Jack Blanco, is marketed as a “devotional paraphrase.” While it presents itself as a tool to make Scripture easy to understand, it is in reality a theologically biased rewriting of the Bible. Rather than drawing from the Hebrew and Greek manuscripts, Blanco reshapes verses to reflect distinctive Adventist doctrines.

The Passion Translation (TPT): A One-Man Paraphrase Masquerading as Scripture. The Passion Translation (TPT), produced by Brian Simmons and first released in 2017, markets itself as a “fresh, Spirit-led translation” of Scripture. In reality, it is not a translation at all. Unlike genuine translations, which are produced by committees of trained scholars working with the original texts, the TPT is a one-man paraphrase shaped by Simmons’ claim of receiving supernatural guidance

The New World Translation (NWT): A Distorted Witness. The New World Translation of the Holy Scriptures (NWT) is the official Bible produced by the Watchtower Bible and Tract Society for the Jehovah’s Witnesses. First published in its New Testament form in 1950, and in complete form by 1961, the NWT has undergone revisions in 1984 and 2013. Unlike reputable translations produced by broad committees of biblical scholars, the NWT was created anonymously by members of the Watchto

Unitarian Universalism: Pluralism Masquerading as Faith. Unitarian Universalism (UU) is often mistaken by outsiders as another Christian denomination. In reality, it is neither Christian nor even a theistic religion in the historic sense.

Christian Science: Denial of Reality and a False Gospel. Christian Science is one of the most deceptive religious movements to emerge from 19th-century America. Founded by Mary Baker Eddy, it denies the reality of sin, sickness, and even death, presenting a pse Christian Science is one of the most deceptive religious movements to emerge from 19th-century America.

Jehovah’s Witnesses: A False Christ and a Different Gospel. Jehovah’s Witnesses (JW), formally known as the Watch Tower Bible and Tract Society, claim to be the sole faithful interpreters of God’s Word. With their door-to-door evangelism, strict organizational control, and redefined doctrines, they have attracted millions worldwide. But despite their zeal, JWs do not preach the biblical gospel.

Seventh-day Adventism: Sabbath Legalism, Prophecy, and Another Gospel. Seventh-day Adventism (SDA) is often misunderstood as simply another Protestant denomination. In reality, its origins and core teachings place it closer to the realm of cults. Rooted in failed prophecies, new revelations, and legalistic additions to the gospel, Adventism undermines the sufficiency of Christ’s work.

The Chosen: Why It Misrepresents Jesus. Few Christian media projects have captured as much attention as The Chosen. With hundreds of millions of views worldwide, its polished production, emotional storytelling, and crowd-funded grassroots popularity have made it a phenomenon. But popularity doesn’t equal biblical faithfulness. For all its artistry, The Chosen misrepresents Jesus and departs from Scripture in ways that are dangerous to the faith.

The Sacred Name Movement: Why “Yeshua Only” Misses the Point. The Sacred Name movement insists that Christians must call Jesus by His Hebrew name Yeshua (sometimes expanded into contrived forms like Yahshua). Advocates often claim that using “Jesus” is pagan, inauthentic, or invalid. While it may sound spiritual, this teaching is not only misguided—it is a distortion of Scripture and history.

Throughout the Old and New Testaments, God consistently warns His people about false prophets, counterfeit religions, and spiritual distortions that lead people away from the truth. Jesus Himself warned that many would come in His name, claiming to be sent by God (Matthew 24:5, NLT).
