Francois Du Toit | The Mirror Bible


I am often asked what I am reading. Over the last year, I could have answered with many amazing books like McVey’s Beyond an Angry God, Vallotton’s, Destined to Win or McKee’s, Story, but I have given one reply, The Mirror Bible.

I have spent many mornings laughing and crying my way through the thrilling gospel of Jesus written down by my new friend Francois Du Toit.

Francois breathtaking paraphrase translation and brilliant commentary on the New Testament has been a constant empowering companion. The revelation of God’s grace is stunning and pure. The scriptures insight into my oneness with Christ is transformational!

We are co-revealed in Christ! Co-crucified, co-included in His death and resurrection, co-buried, co-quickened, co- alive, co-seated “with Him in His executive authority in the Throne Room of the heavenly realm” (Eph. 2:6 Col 1:1-4 The Mirror).

I recommend the Mirror translation to anyone with a heartbeat. Blessings!

    The Mirror translation is a Blasphemous joke and I pray for the salvation of Francois and all who have been deceived by his teachings. While very appropriately named as it deifies man and asks the reader to merely understand that you are already a good person, needing nothing more than to “realize” they are a good person to be in God’s good graces. Stick with the the KJV bible for accuracy, if you struggle with its High Late Medieval English, use a modern version to help you understand its words. Long story short Man is a FALLEN creature who needs Christ to Save him. Man is DEAD in his sins, Blind to all goodness and it is only through the works of God that man is drawn to him so that Christ’s righteousness may be counted towards him. Romans 1:21 Because that, when they knew God, they glorified him not as God, neither were thankful; but became vain in their imaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened.22 Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools, 23 And changed the glory of the uncorruptible God into an image made like to corruptible man, and to birds, and fourfooted beasts, and creeping things. incase you become confused with corrupted scripture.

      Hey Joel, do we know each other? I have a lot of Joels in my life 🙂

      Thanks for your thoughts. Praying joy and grace and wonder over you today!

      I know well the gospel you are preaching. I grew up in its shadow.

      I imagine you and I can agree that salvation is discovered in and through Jesus and what He did on the cross.

      But I think we disagree regarding what Jesus revealed at the cross; that all creation was being reconciled in Christ (see 2 Cor 5:19). I think we disagree regarding how finished Christ’s work was, the goodness of our Father, and how inclusive the gospel of salvation is.

      I’m not gonna try and twist your arm into valuing different translations, I trust Holy Spirit in you.

      Personally, I love the KJ, the NKJ, the NIV and more. And also, I love most paraphrase bibles, especially The Mirror Bible. I have discovered Jesus in all of them.

      I pray the love of God chases you down, I pray that you would discover that neither death nor life, nor angels or devils, that nothing can separate you from His great affection.

      Bless ya man
      Jason

        Dear Dr. Francois,
        I received the app, thank you. However in my bumbling efforts I received what appears to be a bill at my bank for £75 which I can only attribute to you. I’m perfectly happy to pay as I was about to purchase a Mirror Bible anyway but I’d like to confirm this transaction was yours, otherwise I appear to have been scammed. Much love, Michael Tulk. tulkmick9@gmail.com

      Thank you
      I been very bothered by this “Grace” teachings as from The Mirror. A pastor I sat under for years has started grace teachings and has a huge following. When questioned about his older teaching, he replied, there has been a shift in the paradigm. I ordered The Mirror and when I received it, promptly returned it.
      I’m so glad to read something that reflects how I feel.
      Thank you

      I would like to meet more with you, Brother. Because i am one of those “deceived” ones. While I don’t believe I am “deceived” but I rather still fondly remember those days 36 years ago when God sent Francois over my way. Where I was “dying” as a Reverend in the Dutch Reformed Church. And through His Words which are our Milk we drink as a Baby of God on our Righteousness in Jesus entered me into a precious Relationship with the Living God as my Daddy. And of course in being His Child you are our Brother. Because we all have the same Father. So exclude anyone from God as His Daddy in Jesus because of a different opinion can not be done. But we can assist all and ourselves in finding the Truth. And you were Bold enough to say it openly. Which is much appreciated. And which lead me to the point of “meeting with you in the Name of Jesus in two and three Persons in the Presence of our Father”. If you want to of course. Which you should feel that you want to do for the sake of Relationship and Spiritual Growth for both of us and all others who want to enter too.

      The very fact that the owner of this “blog” didn’t remove your comment speaks volumes for the integrity of what He believe is in the Words that Dad spoke to all from His Temple in Francois. Let us talk on it. Love. Johan.

        Heretics of a feather flock together, and wolves run in packs. You are a deceiver and being deceived…

    The “I Am” message delivered so eloquently by FDT in “Image Bearers” kept me from abandoning Christianity altogether, after more than 50 years. Now, I can’t stop smiling.

    What a joy to hear the authentic. Gospel! Why do we insist on legalism and religion. Have we even read the Bible, we have been so indoctrinated….. how sad. But Holy Spirit is awakening those ‘who have ears to hear!’ Hallelujah!

    Hello Francois, I so appreciate the Mirror Bible and you books. Many of the Christians I like to listen to or read are now talking about reincarnation. I really struggle with the idea but I realize I don’t know everything and some books of the Bible have been hidden but the idea of comming back multiple times until we become Pure/Christlike enough seems punitive to me and seems to contradict the truth that we are made in God’s image and redeemed/awakened to that truth in this post cross time and space. I would really appreciate you thoughts on this. Do you give any consideration to the thought that reincarnation might be a truth planned, used and blessed by God. I know you are very busy and sought after but maybe you have already written on this subject and can send that to me. Thank you.

    Whenever any one of us hop around the Bible while looking for Scriptures – in order to build a case – rather than to simply discover its message (paragraph by paragraph) in context, we risk becoming subject to error.

    May The Lord lead us all away from excessive topical preaching that does not pursue the whole counsel of God.

    Perhaps a wise movement from the temptation of certitude is to ponder the restoration/love story, “the Prodigal Son.” It clearly demonstrates the heart and love of our Heavenly Father. What more can be said.

    I was brought up in the KJV of the Bible and there is nothing that can compare to this. Universalism is not a good teaching of which i am told. There truely is a heaven and a hell and we choose which place we are going. Not everyone is going to heaven. The gospel is the only way. It is the good news. But we have a choice to make. Your Mirror Bible is encased with Universalism and i fear you are on the wrong road my dear brother.
