Bible Translation Sales

[Free Christian]

"The Voice", sounds like something Oprah Winfrey would promote. Can see Tom Cruise jumping up and down on a couch whilst she does it.

I looked at two verses.

NASB - John 6:39 "This is the will of Him who sent Me, that of all that He has given Me I lose nothing, but raise it up on the last day.	The Voice - John 6:39 39 He sent Me to care for all He has given Me so that nothing and no one will perish. In the end, on the last day, He wants everything to be resurrected into new life.
NASB - John 17:2 even as You gave Him authority over all flesh, that to all whom You have given Him, He may give eternal life.	The Voice - John 17:2 2-3 because You have given Me total authority over humanity. I have come bearing the plentiful gifts of God; and all who receive Me will experience everlasting life

This sounds like the doctrine of election is being altered in the Bible.
