The Mirror Bible is endorsed by John Crowder ("toking the holy ghost") and William Paul Young (author of The Shack, later a universalist). It's part of a broader movement: progressive Christianity, hyper-charismatic theology, and universal salvation all pushing the same direction.

Endorsed by: Bob Mumford (scandal-plagued), John Crowder (famous for miming smoking marijuana as "toking the holy ghost" and injecting the Holy Spirit — leading crowds in the same), and William Paul Young (author of The Shack, later came out as universalist denying hell). Winger: "If you endorse this translation you're a heretic." He'd rather someone read the Passion Translation every day for a year than the Mirror Bible — the Passion has problems but doesn't destroy the gospel. The Mirror Bible is part of a flow including progressive Christianity, hyper-charismatic movements, and universal salvation — all pushing to "devalue forgiveness, talk about universal salvation, alter understanding of Scripture." Key takeaway: "Lies taste good" — poison mixed with good food. Sincere, intelligent leaders of false movements are more dangerous than obvious charlatans.
