👎🏻 The Scriptures: Best Sacred Name Bible; Still Awful
At first glance "The Scriptures" is an attractive Bible if you're wanting to get closer to the original.

"The Scriptures" deletes 116 verses. (2/7)

"The Scriptures" makes false accusations and is a trojan horse. (7/7)
The Institute for Scripture Research makes very serious accusations against anyone not trying to use the Sacred Name. But what did Yeshua do? Let's look at the sources proving that he followed the Jewish tradition of saying "Adonai", addressed God as his "Abba Father" and taught his disciples to ...
