In Genesis 1:1-5, the Message Version mocks God by turning God’s complete sentences & powerful commands into watered down, incoherent commands and error-filled sentences with grammar errors. Some of the Message Version’s errors for its Genesis 1 include:
💥Having a colon [which is the : symbol] instead of a comma in verse 1, which is improper sentence structure because “first this” without a verb is a dependent clause, which is a clause/incomplete sentence that does not form a complete thought or wording, thus confusing the reader on what God’s words say and making God look confused on what he himself said in the introduction of Genesis 1 in verse 1
💥Switching “moved” to “brooded”, which creates a huge difference and much confusion. As per the KJB, the word “moved” in the context means that the Spirit of God physically went/moved a certain way over something, [i.e. the face of the waters]. However, the Message Version’s word brooded [from the word “brood” has multiple meanings such as “ “think for a long time about things that make you sad, worried, or angry” (Source 1, Source 2). Brood means “To sit on and cover, as a fowl on her eggs” (Source) or “to remain a long time in anxiety” (Source). In the context of verse 2 (which is verses 1 and 3 of Genesis 1), God is not angry at the earth and is not covering young birds’ eggs but was creating the earth as per Genesis 1:1, and created the light on Day 1, proving that brood and the Message’s word “brooded” are incorrect words for Genesis 1:2 while the KJB’s word “moved” does correctly describe what God does in Genesis 1:1-3
💥Omitting the words “Let there be” from verse 3 puts an incomplete, half-empty sentence into God’s mouth. Omitting the word “the” two times from verse 4 removes a definite article, which specifies a noun or group of nouns. In this case, “the” refers to “light”
💥Omitting the word “and” from verse 5 and turning “and” into a comma creates a grammatically incorrect, run-on sentence (in the Message Version’s verse 5) with no conjunction word that creates would otherwise connect both clauses/parts of a sentence together, making God look like a person who does not know how to talk. Also, no conjunction word or semicolon is in the middle of the 2nd sentence of the Message "bible" Version's verse 5 between "it was evening, it was morning".
