This is a live real time project- thankyou for joining it.
The process has three elements to it. God whose word is dependable and true. The Bible text which is fagile and disputed in places and constantly challenged. And Paul.
The strongest element -God, must be in and through his word for this to succeed.
Then there is the work done on the text and languages. And Paul.
Pray with me now. Lord God please we pray give us a Bible for all tribes, nations languages and peoples. We give this project now back to you and pray that you will help us do it. And Paul.
So what is the Bible (Excellent question-Ed)
It is over 100 documents brought together over thousands of years. The first Gen1:1-2:4 written and signed by God. The second Gen 2:5-5:2 written signed by Adam. Genesis then is 11 documents (the last written by Joseph in Egypt-Ed) compiled by Moses, edited and uprated. The last book of the Torah Deuteronomy is likewise compiled edited and written on clay tablets by Joshua. The most active editor was Solomon and he brought together enough documents and contributions so that a Bible was emerging. Some parts are secular history written for imperial authorities (Daniel, Nehemiah Esther, Luke. Acts-Ed) and the last book is again written in Hebrew- Revelation- and is the code key for the whole book.
But before that was written and before Jesus was born Egyptian Jewish authorities working with the Egyptian King had down graded the text with a Greek translation. A process continued centuries later by St Jerome who created a Latin Christian religion.
So why a translation now?
Well let me say that no one needs a Bible-paul
People have operated and continue to operate ignorant of the Bible and yet get True Religion.
My Muslim brothers and Pentecostal brothers both demonstrate faith and by intuition achieve a level of righteousness (Sura 6:155/156) but at other times go to Afghanistan to kill each other.
The misnamed 'New Testament' is and owners manuel which instructs us how to operate the Revelation. when things go wrong it is wise to consult the manual but some work without it.
The misnamed Old Testament is the specifications design detail and code structure of the Revelation and is essential for understanding the religion given us by God.
Restoring now the ancient Greek and Hebrew words with primary meaning is key.
For example Donkey- is a Hebrew word that expains how Nimrod built his 10 Iraqi cities and towers. While other Hebrew words tell us what Abraham was doing.
In Brooklyn New York there is a young zealous would be Rabbi who knows much of the detail of the Torah but is now only taking baby steps of faith...
In Colorado Springs there is a Pentecostal who has great faith and world changing power yet lacking knowledge could make a large mistake...
(Yes Moses said that would happen-Deut 32:21-Ed)
Pray with me now. Lord God we want to come before your throne and present to you a Bible which is good for our tribes, nations, languages and peoples. Help us now we pray. Amen
