Okay, I've branded it heretical on the website. :)

I read a dialogue between a supporter of the CLNT and the guy who runs the
site you cited about errors in the translation.  It seemed to just be a
Universalist arguing with a KJV-onlyist over minutae, with only
out-of-context (from my perspective, just reading the dialogue) quotations
for support.

I don't really see an intentional act of deception in this translation.  I
see a number of poorly and non-literally translated words as its primary
defects.

But I'll assume you know a bit more about this translation and the
perception people have of it than I've been able to glean.
