If people get attached to TPT they will also get attached to Brian Simmons. Even if it were based on a team of qualified translators, which it isn’t, I still would not accept it because of its false claims about the Aramaic and being a 'translation'. Since TPT is almost completely based on the credibility of Brian Simmons it is on a sandy foundation.

Therefore, I must also doubt Brian Simmons' claims of supernatural 'downloads.'ħ:3 9 Brian Simmons’ wild claims about TPT Craig Bloomberg 7:51 Is TPT misleading people when it calls itself a “translation'?īased on the above reasons and more, I cannot trust Brian Simmons' testable claims about his background, the Aramaic, and his 'translation'.

He also claims to have access to Aramaic manuscripts that predate the Greek manuscripts. Simmons claims to that the NT was written in Aramaic.For this reason, I have distilled my thoughts based on his videos into this blog article. The only downside of Mike Winger's videos is that most of them are long so the average person may not be willing to devote the time to watch them. Here are some videos on the subject that you can watch on your own. Pastor/Apologist Mike Winger did a great job of interviewing Bible scholars with experience in Bible translation on his YouTube channel. This is why I prefer video quotations so I can be more certain that he is not being taken out of context etc. I also believe that in order to be fair to Brian Simmons, he should be allowed to speak for himself as much as possible. “Every case must be proved by two or three witnesses.” 2 Corinthians 13:1-2 NCV ' I will come to you for the third time. I believe that it is Biblically appropriate to test his testable statements and see if they are truthful and then we can decide whether or not we should take his untestable claims at face value or not.

In my work as an apologist/missionary in Cambodia, I use and value a wide variety of translations. I came to the realization from Scripture that genuine unity must be balanced with discernment and be built on a foundation of truth, particularly the truth of God's Word. In the process of researching for that book. That is why more than a decade ago I wrote a book in Cambodia with an English title: Discerning Essential Doctrines and Preserving Unity.
