![]() ![]() It gives one the impression that Swaggart considers his words to be on a par with those of our Lord Jesus Christ.Ĭombine that with his words in red, and it certainly raises some eyebrows. To make matters worse, instead of the words of Jesus being in red, Jimmy Swaggarts words are in red. Whether that was intended, only God can judge, but it certainly gives that impression and is an offense against common decency and respect of the Holy Scripture. A disturbing characteristic is that Swaggart has not put his notes on the side or bottom of the page as all other commentaries do, but has placed his comments right in the text itself so that it is impossible to read the Bible without reading his intrusive commentary with every sentence. The original King James Version does not use this signifier. This is an accepted and expected practice today. Jimmy Swaggart has no such training and when you read his words that heaven is a planet somewhere to the north, your first thought is which way is north in outer space and you then realize that lacking education in simple science can lead to some very strange doctrines. Consequently the work suffers from a lack of scholarship resulting in a number of heretical and strange teachings throughout the commentary. In the case of the Swaggart Bible, all the commentary is written by Jimmy Swaggart, who is himself a high school dropout. Typically biblical commentaries are written and compiled by scholars and theologians, in some cases even a council of such. ![]()
