In this lesson, Translation Methods from the series The Twisted Scriptures, we uncover how different translation philosophies—from word-for-word to thought-for-thought—can dramatically shape the meaning of God’s Word. Many modern versions prioritize readability or cultural appeal over accuracy, leading to subtle distortions that affect doctrine and practice. This study examines how translations are produced, where bias can influence the text, and why fidelity to the original languages is essential to preserve God’s intended message.

In this lesson, The Easy to Read Version: The Twisted Scriptures, we uncover how this translation, while marketed for simplicity, compromises the integrity of God’s Word. By stripping away depth and precision, it often distorts vital truths and diminishes the authority of Scripture. This study examines where the text has been altered, the dangers of relying on oversimplification, and why the preserved Word of God must remain our foundation for faith and practice.

In this first part of Marriage, Divorce and Remarriage from the series The Twisted Scriptures, we carefully examine what God’s Word truly teaches about one of the most misunderstood and misapplied subjects in the Bible. Many today twist the Scriptures to justify unscriptural marriages or to diminish the seriousness of divorce, but Jesus’ teaching remains clear and authoritative. This lesson lays the foundation for understanding God’s original design for marriage, the permanence of the covenant, and the consequences of altering His commands.

In this lesson, The New International Version: The Twisted Scriptures, we examine how the NIV has altered the text of God’s Word, removing and reshaping verses in ways that distort the truth and weaken essential doctrines. By comparing the NIV’s renderings with the preserved Word of God, we expose the dangers of trusting corrupted translations and highlight the urgent need to hold fast to the inspired Scriptures. This study warns against the subtle ways man’s changes can mislead souls and stresses the importance of “rightly dividing the word of truth” (2 Timothy 2:15, KJV).

In this lesson, The New World Translation: The Twisted Scriptures, we examine how this particular Bible version has been altered to support false doctrines and mislead sincere seekers of truth. By comparing its renderings with the preserved Word of God, we expose the dangers of distortion and highlight the importance of “rightly dividing the word of truth” (2 Timothy 2:15, KJV). This study challenges us to recognize the difference between man’s manipulation of Scripture and the true, unchanging message God has revealed.

In this episode, Unity Part 2: The Twisted Scriptures, we examine how God’s Word has at times been misused or distorted to justify division rather than promote the unity Christ desires. Together, we’ll look at how the Scriptures are sometimes twisted out of context, contrast that with the truth of God’s Word, and learn how to rightly handle the Bible so that it strengthens—not fractures—the body of Christ.

In this lesson from the Twisted Scriptures series, we examine what God’s Word truly teaches about women and how culture and false doctrines have often distorted that truth. Many misuse Scripture to either diminish women’s God-given role or to promote positions contrary to His design. By returning to the Bible, we uncover the beauty, value, and purpose God has always intended for women, and we learn how to uphold His Word with both truth and love.

In this lesson from the Twisted Scriptures series, we examine what God’s Word truly says about the sanctity of life and the deception surrounding abortion. Many twist Scripture to justify or minimize this grave issue, but the Bible is clear about the value of every life from conception. Together, we will expose the distortions, uncover the truth of God’s design, and be reminded of His call to protect the innocent and uphold righteousness in a world that seeks to silence His voice.

In this lesson from the Twisted Scriptures series, we examine what the Bible truly teaches about preachers and their role in the church. Many religious groups distort or elevate the position of preachers beyond what God intended, leading to confusion, misplaced authority, and error. By turning to the Scriptures, we uncover the divine purpose for preaching, the responsibilities of those who proclaim God’s Word, and the importance of keeping Christ—not man—at the center of the message.

In this lesson from the Twisted Scriptures series, we begin our study on baptism by examining how this vital command is often misrepresented or misunderstood. Many teachings either diminish its importance or distort its purpose, but what does the Bible truly reveal? By carefully looking at the passages that are frequently twisted, we uncover the clear and consistent message of God’s Word. Join us as we lay the foundation in Part 1, separating truth from error and restoring baptism to its rightful place in the plan of salvation.
