This is a recent clip of Bill Johnson preaching from the Passion Translation and praising the footnotes. The only problem? The footnote of the passage Bill is quoting is plagiarized from p. 599 of a book by Glenn David Bauscher (image below) and the second half is plagiarized from the website of a fringe filmmaker named Victor Alexander. Brian Simmons gets the praise (and financial reward) from the Bethel platform, while the authors whose work he stole do not. The Passion Translation is still sold on the Bethel website and bookstore.








You can’t even get most Mormons to admit that they believe in a “plurality of gods” (who coined that term?? Hmmmm) Mormon apologetics usually just boils down to Mormons representing their beliefs dishonestly They’ve read the Book of Abraham. They’ve seen “the gods” in scripture

🚨 The Anatomy of a Textual Shell Game: How the 10 Commandments are Structurally Neutralized The version of the 10 Commandments displayed on Catholic church walls, concrete monuments, and parish websites is fundamentally different from what is actually written inside their own official Catechism. This isn’t a simple matter of "ancient numbering history"—it is a structural mechanism of bad-faith concealment and textual overloading. Here is exactly how the layout operates behind closed doors: 1. The Public-Facing Erasure (The Bailey) If you walk into a parish or visit a diocesan website (such as the official page for Sacred Heart Catholic Church or the Vatican's main Section Two headers), you will see a clean, truncated 1–10 list. Under Commandment #1, the explicit biblical prohibition against making and bowing to graven images (Exodus 20:4–5) is 100% missing. It is replaced with a short, positive summary or an entirely different New Testament verse ("You shall worship the Lord your God and Him only shall you serve"). 2. The Internal Text-Overloading (The Motte) When cornered on this blatant deletion, apologists sprint to the master manual, yelling: "We didn't delete it! Look at Subsection IV!" But look at what they physically did to the text structure inside that manual. To protect their physical practice of kneeling before statues, they took the massive "graven image" prohibition block from Exodus and dragged/folded it directly into the First Commandment. They overloaded Commandment #1 with so many extra modifications, explanations, and long-form sentences that it became structurally impossible to fit on a standard public display plaque. Because the list is now a massive wall of text, the public-facing billboards just wipe the restriction completely clean from public view. 3. The "Nevertheless" Addition (The Neutralization Layer) It gets worse. The moment you open the Catechism to find where the image ban was buried, you discover that they didn't just move it—they added text to completely neutralize it. Right after quoting the restriction in Paragraph 2129, the very next sentence in Paragraph 2130 hits the reader with a massive, conditional addition: "𝘕𝘦𝘷𝘦𝘳𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘭𝘦𝘴𝘴..." The text immediately pivots to listing Old Testament exceptions (like the bronze serpent and the cherubim on the Ark) to explicitly build a loophole for the physical use of religious art. They structurally overwrite a clear, negative biblical restriction ("Thou shalt not bow down to them") by appending an institutional qualification that says, "Actually, yes you can, as long as you label the action 'veneration' instead of 'adoration.'" The Verdict This is a textbook Motte-and-Bailey fallacy wrapped inside a Convinced Deletion. They modify the layout. They overload the first command with so many extra words it can't be displayed on the street. They insert a "Nevertheless" addition to completely gut the original restriction. You cannot claim a law is "active and unchanged" when you scrub it from 99.9% of your public billboards, hide the real text in a fine-print manual that the vast majority of ordinary parishioners never read, and immediately neutralize it with an added footnote the moment it appears. The concrete receipts and the website headers don't lie. The public list is a rewritten system. Total bad faith exposed. ❌🪨














One of the textbook "smoking guns" of plagiarism is when one work copies a MISTAKE from another work. In Romans 8:9, The Passion Translation plagiarizes Francois du Toit's footnote from the "Mirror Bible." The only problem is the whole thing was already fictitious when du Toit wrote it. The words in Romans 8:9 and Luke 15:17 are completely different, and the proposed "translation" (which matches in both) is nonsense. Brian sees this footnote and decides to sound smart by saying "this is an unusual Greek clause." There's nothing unusual about the clause in Romans 8:9. The construction used in Luke 15:17 is not similar. The entire thing was fabricated by du Toit. Not only does Brian Simmons not know any of the original languages, he plagiarizes other people who ALSO do not know the languages. This footnote is still on @YouVersion as we speak.
