The Mirror Bible by François Du Toit is the worst Bible translation Winger has ever seen — not just inaccurate but anti-gospel, inverting Scripture to teach that humans are already divine and don't need to be born again.

François Du Toit started a church in the 1980s in South Africa, drifted into new age mysticism after leaving the church, then returned to try to reshape Christianity to match his new beliefs. The Mirror Bible is his attempt to rewrite Scripture to fit new-age self-realization theology. Despite glowing Amazon reviews, it systematically inverts the gospel: instead of sinners needing salvation, humans are already children of God who need to "realize" their divinity. Du Toit is sincere and intelligent — which makes him more effective as a deceiver. "People who are sincere and loving and very kind can be the worst of deceivers because they themselves believe the lies."
