The Scriptures, 2009 Edition

This is a heretical "translation" that the Hebrew Roots cults like to use, which removes verses, changes key meanings of words in the original inspired languages by mistranslation, while seeking to emphasize Torah-keeping as still binding and diminishes Christ's deity. Beware!

Did a text comparison on Psalm 85. In every other translation on the first 4 verses they use past tense. Well it's perfect tense. You have forgiven, you have withdrawn you wrath etc. In this version it is you shall, using future tense. I know it's a slight thing perhaps, but it destroys the whole reason for the psalm. The writer is taking what God has done as reason and hope for Him showing mercy again. So teaching us the same examples of trust in a faithful, unchanging God. I really am shocked at this translation. I'm a bit hesitant now to read it. Could be placed along with The Message as something to beware of. Disappointed.

Katie Hoyle here.......FINALLY, it's available on Logos! I've been using this version for about six or so years. It will be nice to use on the computer along with the other versions of Scripture I like to use and compare......

I love this Bible .

I can't figure out how to access it, and there is no expert with which to chat.

I’ve been using the TS2009 on eSword. I’m so glad Logos has finally made this version available.

As others have said, I am disappointed that not only do people still take the ISR seriously, but that Logos would publish such a destructive and heretical work. The original editor was what many consider a "sacred-name-only" proponent, refusing to include common English words like "Christ", "church", "altar", and even "God" & "Lord" so that "words and names, as far as possible, have been corrected in order to eliminate any names of idolatrous origin." This translation makes a point to promote a low Christology, such as its butchering of Romans 10:9—"That if you confess with your mouth the Master יהושע and believe in your heart that Elohim has raised Him from the dead, you shall be saved." and Titus 2:13's use of the Granville Sharp Rule—"13looking for the blessed expectation and esteemed appearance of the great Elohim and our Saviour יהושע Messiah," This "translation" is psudoscholarship and should not be featured on Logos, as its intention is to dissuade faithful members of the Church to forsake true, biblical Christology and to embrace the everything-is-pagan conspiracies riddling the internet.

I am disappointed to see people still take ISR seriously after decades of promoting this thing. It’s not an original translation, it’s an amended KJV. The original editor had no training in Biblical languages or Bible translation, and promoted numerous unbiblical ideas and conspiracy theories. The translation is riddled with bias and awkward readings, such as “slaughter place of incense” instead of “altar of incense” (because the original editor believed “altar” to be a pagan word). Other words excluded are “holy” and “church” for no reason other than the editor’s witch-hunt against this alleged “pagan influence.” I own three physical copies of the ISR 2009 and have spent quite a bit of time reviewing it (as well as the 1998 revision). It is awful and should not be trusted as a faithful English translation. If you really want a Messianic Bible, go with the TLV.
