Virginia Mollenkott played a minor role in the creation of the NIV ‘bible’, but her work had a major influence in leading astray the body of Christ

Virginia Ramey Mollenkott is the author or co-author of 13 books, including several on LGBTQ women and religion. She is a winner of the Lambda Literary Award and has published numerous essays on literary topics. But in the years covering 1970 to 1978, Mollenkott played a small but key role in the creation of the NIV ‘bible’, only to be ousted when her LGBTQ agenda became public knowledge.

“For this cause God gave them up unto vile affections: for even their women did change the natural use into that which is against nature:” Romans 1:26 (KJB)

Now I know that some of the things we’re discussing here happened a while ago, but it’s important to see the incredible damage that people like Virginia Mollenkott have done to the body of Christ. When a person like Mollenkott publishes a book such as Omnigender, it sends shockwaves through the camp of Bible believers. Not because her teachings carry biblical weight, they don’t, but because they reveal the spiritual fault lines created when professing Christianity rejects the final authority of the King James Bible. This is not simply a social debate about gender. It is a full-scale spiritual battle over the authority of Scripture and the boundaries God Himself established from the beginning.

“So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them.” Genesis 1:27 (KJB)

The Bible is not unclear, God made humanity in two genders, and He called His creation very good. But when the Bible is replaced with scholarship, human opinion, or cultural sensitivity, people begin to imagine there are “more than two genders,” and then demand that Scripture bow to their feelings.

• The King James AV 1611 Bible vs. The New International Version

Bible believers understand something the world has forgotten: You don’t correct the Bible, the Bible corrects you. Every movement that rejects God’s design always ends up rewriting God Himself. While Mollenkott did not translate the NIV, her peripheral role as a stylistic consultant exposes the worldly direction these modern translation committees were comfortable entertaining.

It raises the question:

Why was someone with her views welcomed anywhere near a Bible translation project?

Because the NIV — like all modern versions — is built on the premise that man can decide:

• which manuscripts are trustworthy,
• which words are “better,”
• and how Scripture should read in the modern world.
• That philosophy opens the door for cultural reinterpretation, feminist revisionism, and — eventually — gender fluidity. A tiny crack in the foundation becomes a doctrinal earthquake.

Virginia Mollenkott’s theology is not Christianity. and her gender ideology is not biblical truth. Her influence — however small — on modern versions only highlights why Bible believers refuse to abandon the preserved, perfect, inerrant King James Bible. The people on the NIV translation committee trusted credentials instead of doctrine, they prioritized “readability” over purity of Scripture. As a result, they opened the door to people like Virginia Mollenkott who did not hold the Bible as final authority.

The King James translators were:

• doctrinally conservative
• openly Christian
• unafraid of biblical authority
• accountable to the church
• committed to preserving Scripture, not reinventing it

But the NIV’s translation philosophy (“dynamic equivalence”) welcomed:

• scholars with questionable theology
• modernists
• feminists
• liberals
• and yes, eventually LGBTQ advocates

This is the fruit of mixing God’s Book with the world’s agenda, and it’s a deadly poison that continues to work to attack and degrade the authority of scripture today. Virginia Ramey Mollenkott may be all but forgotten, but her work of using the Bible to water down sin and sow confusion remains. If you want God’s preserved word, we got it, go get it.

We need your help to provide much needed support to the Good Child Missions gospel outreach in Uganda for the Cup of Porridge and Christmas Dinner Programs

Back in 2022, Now The End Begins partnered with Irad Biryomumesho from Good Child Missions in Uganda to launch something we called the Cup of Porridge Program that give over a thousand children a hot cup of porridge before church on Sunday. That went so well that the Lord led Irad to want to hold a Christmas Dinner to feed the children and give them the gospel of Jesus Christ. NTEB is helping them with that as well, and we invite you to come help us.

“And a vision appeared to Paul in the night; There stood a man of Macedonia, and prayed him, saying, Come over into Macedonia, and help us.” Acts 16:9 (KJB)

 Irad Biryomumesho got saved through our Radio Bible Study broadcast, learned how to rightly divide, and the Lord gave him a heart to do something right where he lives in Uganda. NTEB is a main sponsor of the work he is doing and we are happy to partner with him. While the Children’s Christmas Dinner is a one-time event, the Cup of Porridge Program happens 52 Sundays a year. We need to raise about $5,000 to fully fund these two events, and if God has prospered you, prayerfully consider clicking on the donate link to help us. Thank you!

Pope Leo urged U.S. President Donald Trump’s administration on Tuesday not to try to oust Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro using military force.

Recent public remarks by Pope Leo XIV reveal his ‘strong concern’ about moves by the United States to use force against Venezuela. On his return flight from Lebanon, he said that the U.S. should not attempt a military ouster of Venezuelan leader Nicolás Maduro — instead urging diplomacy or economic pressure. The Roman Catholic Church has a long history of supporting Socialist and Communist countries where Catholicism is the dominant religion.

“And he cried mightily with a strong voice, saying, Babylon the great is fallen, is fallen, and is become the habitation of devils, and the hold of every foul spirit, and a cage of every unclean and hateful bird.” Revelation 18:2 (KJB)

Daring Washington to make its next move, desperate dictator Maduro has rejected Donald Trump‘s ultimatum to step down and flee the country. It comes as the US president held crisis talks with his top generals and is preparing for a classified US Navy briefing on Thursday. At a rally in the capital, the tyrant cast himself as a besieged patriot, telling supporters Venezuela was ready “to defend the country and lead it to the path of peace” as the US weighs land strikes. He said: “We have lived through 22 weeks of aggression that can only be described as psychological terrorism.”

Pope Leo urges US not to attempt military ouster of Venezuela’s Maduro

FROM REUTERS: Leo, the first U.S. pope, said it would be better to attempt dialogue or impose economic pressure on Venezuela if Washington wants to pursue change there. The Trump administration has been weighing options to combat what it has portrayed as Maduro’s role in supplying illegal drugs that have killed Americans. The socialist Venezuelan president has denied having any links to the illegal drug trade.

Asked during a news conference about Trump’s threats to remove Maduro by force, Leo said: “It is better to search for ways of dialogue, or perhaps pressure, including economic pressure”.

The pope, speaking as he flew home from a visit to Turkey and Lebanon, his first overseas trip, added that Washington should search for other ways to achieve change “if that is what they want to do in the United States”.

Reuters reported last month that options under U.S. consideration include an attempt to overthrow the Venezuelan leader, and that the U.S. military is poised for a new phase of operations after a massive military buildup in the Caribbean and nearly three months of strikes on suspected drug trafficking boats off Venezuela’s coast. Leo, answering a journalist’s question, also said the signals coming from the Trump administration about its policy toward Venezuela were unclear.

“On one hand, it seems there was a call between the two presidents,” said the pope, referring to a phone call that Trump had with Maduro last month. “On the other hand, there is the danger, there is the possibility there will be some activity, some (military) operation.”

“The voices that come from the United States, they change with a certain frequency,” added Leo. The pope, elected in May and originally from Chicago, is familiar with Latin America because he spent long years as a cleric in Peru. READ MORE
