Could you point out the misinterpretations? I checked a few with my version of The Living Bible, and it was verbatim.
Be happy to. But first we need to talk about translations of text and without opening a giant can of worms let's just say that there are translations of the text that are done in literal form and then there are translations that are "attempts" to say the underlying message, if you will. "The Living Bible" translation falls more into the latter category while I tend to prefer a more literal translation of the text like "ESV- English Standard Version".
Going to the link, the first topic is Women and most of the text criticisms seem to be just objections to male/female roles. There is one using Genesis 3:16 where they use the NLT to claim that women "must welcome their husbands affections" (as if that would be a bad thing?" A more literal translation using the ESV reads, "I will surely multiply your pain in childbearing; in pain you shall bring forth children. Your desire shall be contrary to your husband, but he shall rule over you." This occurs, as we already mentioned in Genesis 3, after the fall of man. You're familiar with Adam and Eve and the forbidden fruit, yea? Well after that, God was laying out what the consequences of their actions are. If the feminists are mad that men rule over women, it would be important to note that the original design of God was to be equal partners and after the fall, pain in childbirth and man's rule over women became the norm.
Moving on to Family and I'm just trying to pick the ones that might be easiest to explain here quickly:
1 Chronicles 2:34-35 "Sheshan gave his daughter to his slave Jarha" Not sure what their point is here. This is just narrative story, it's literally just a genealogy. But it goes to the point that people like to pick out a text in the Bible and make assumptions that God approves of these things just because they were written down. Text doesn't say that at all.
Sex, Adultery and Divorce: There are quite a few here that imply raping is ok when that is not what the text says it all. In Deuteronomy 22, the woman in question is either an engaged women, a non-virgin who lied about her virginity, and someone who is married and committed adultery with another man, not a rape victim but a willing participant. It is true that these things (aldutery/lying about virginity) did warrant death, as decreed by God for the nation of Israel.
Rape again comes up further down siting Deuteronomy 21:10-13. The text again doesn't say rape them, it says marry them.
The Worship Me or Else category: In the Old Testament context, Israel was a Godly nation, set apart by God, having been brought out of slavery in Egypt and given a land for their own. The texts you read are warnings from God not to let anyone with false idols or other gods be apart of their society. If you read enough of the Old Testament you can see that Israel fails miserably and it is not too long before the toxicity of false idol worship plagues their culture.
New Testament scriptures are pretty blatant and they got it right. Jesus does make the claim that He is the only way to Heaven. I think that is why we are here having this conversation. It's a bold claim and I would hope that everyone would analyze it for themselves at some point.
I may pick this back up later but I have got to get a little more work done today. If you have any that you would like for me to address specifically, shoot them out there. Maybe someone else will chime in also.
