Another addition Words!

All new versions add, ‘You to John 5:39?

The King James version and the original Greek have the word Search (G2045) Ereunaio here, but all modern translations have ye or you search or examine!

Does this tense make any difference to the text and why has it been kept, when the original does not have it, one has to wonder how many new words are being added or taken out of the new fad Immersive Bible, which does shift the books out of the traditional order and many young believers may not truly appreciate the original text of both the New and Old testaments?

We are living in an age of Apostasy and sins are being justified by logic over the truth of the Holy Bible and twisted to add in things that are not there, one believes this all began with the doctrine of Once saved always saved back in the 1980’s!

Luke 24:27, 2 Timothy 3:15.

Anomia!

The Greek word with two meanings?

In the first passage in the New Testament we have it used to mean unrighteousness 2 Corinthians 6:14. Strongs G458.

While in 1 John 3:4 it is translated as Transgression Strongs G458.

So why is this so, since in the Hebrew two different words are used in relation to the New Testament, being Chamas (Khamas) Strongs H2555 and Aber (Aver) H5674,

So we have to ask did the English translators of both the Wycliffe and the Tyndale get it so wrong or does it really matter?

The interpretation of Words!

Woke and revisionism in the Hebrew and Greek Text Translated?

This is as much a danger if not more so than that of replacement theology, which has racked Ekklesia for over 400 years in the Protestant reformation from Europe to America and much further afield in the 19th Century?

What we accept as to be firm or solid is now being interpreted in an alternative way and this is basically to justify homosexuality and transgender and to make out that what God said was misunderstood by the times, forgetting our own times too!

It is a tough area to deal with since many who profess a faith are now open to these false teachings, because of the fear of man, the laws of the land, comforts and not wanting to be persecuted, which eventually because of indifference will come to them anyway?

Luke 10:29-37, John 5:47, 1 Corinthians 1:17, 2 Timothy 3:10-16.

Understanding the Greek?

More than one Translation!

I think it is very important as a preacher teacher to have some grasp of the Greek, so that we can understand the many words from the various versions that are available for reading and study today?

Even if we are still limited to the King James or Revised Bibles, the Greek context is of great value, where as the Hebrew is quiet fixed even to the modern Israeli and so when comparing verses we will have a frame work built on a strong basis!

What Ekklesia faces today is deception and sensuality, the excuse to undermine the laws of God and to have truth expressed with love, rather one without the other!

2 Peter 2:1-3, Romans 16:18, 1 Corinthians 6;20, Galatians 2:4.

Modern Translations!

Missing the definitions of the text?

Many of the new translations of the Holy Bible, that have sought to move away from the King James version have done an injustice to the Greek, if not also the Hebrew languages and lumped words together into one, when missing the real context of what is being said!

It remains hard to know if this has been done deliberately or it is just being lazy in the work, hoping that only a few would take any notice?

We need to be clear and understand what God is saying to us in the scriptures so that we can preach the Gospel message and see souls saved!

Matthew 22:29, John 4:23-24, Romans 15:4, Hebrews 4:12-13, Revelation 3:20.

Mark 16! Part-One.

The last twelve Verses?

Most believers do not see these technical sections of the scriptures, most denominational teaching cover them up for the lay Christian and since the Apostle Paul warned us about not getting into these arguments it is perhaps wise!

But as one grows and starts to preach and teach we learn some knowledge that can be troubling or debatable for those who like to question the context of the Holy Scriptures and the languages that they have been written in?

On reading these twelve verses, there is a different style to them from the rest of the Gospel of Mark and early Greek transcripts do not have them but that does not mean that they should not be there!

What they reveal is unbelief amongst the Disciples to Jesus rising from the dead and this is a understood state of mind, since most fled in fear from the garden when Jesus was arrested, even one in his birthday suit!

The others is of events that are related to the forty days that Jesus spent on the Earth in Israel between His resurrection and His Ascension!

Mark 16:8-20, Mark 14:52, John 20:15, 25, Acts 1:1-11, 1 Timothy 6:4, Titus 3:9.

The Lords Prayer!

A base from which to build Upon?

Not many believers realize that this prayer is the building block or foundation to build upon and they continue with it more or less in a childish way?

But for us believers it is a base that we can build on and be kept on the straight and narrow for the rest of our lives!

Despite the controversial ending that is disputed and not found in any of the Greek original texts, it still remains a invaluable prayer for both the young and old!

‘Our Father in Heaven…… For thy Kingdom Come!

Matthew 6:9-10, Luke 11:2.

Saved by faith ALONE?

German reformer Martin Luther!

Introduced the word alone to emphasise his idea of the doctrine of salvation, which caused the split from the Roman Catholic Church over 400 years ago! But on reflection with modern technology and the easy grasp of Biblical languages today we now know that this is not correct?

Because of two incidents in the New Testament, where people were saved in the moment of belief and no mention of this doctrine exists in the Greeks texts, apart from that of the King James Bible!

The Thief on the cross and the Ethiopian eunuch made no known confession of faith, but they just believe and were saved?

Today many Christians are not aware of many things and Salvation seems cheap when its a card signed or a short prayer, yet perhaps we should not be quick to Judge since the almighty can do whatever He pleases!

James 2:17, 24, Greek Kata Strong G2596, Luke 23:42-43, Acts 8:27-39.

By faith Alone?

The conundrum of the Reformation!

Martin Luther added in the word alone to the translation of the Holy Bible to German and English to emphasise his point in relation that only faith saves!

But the original Greek manuscripts never had the word alone, since faith was already known as the key to knowing God!

The problems for Martin Luther like or loath him was he had ninety six issues with the Roman Catholic Church, which he questioned and then had no choice but to break away from?

Faith in itself encompasses much, but the Latin translation from the Greek may have deliberately blocked this truth off, so that made the Pope infallible as the leader of the Universal Church.

Today occasionally if not commonly many new words are being added to the Bible to get a clearer meaning, one must be careful to not go beyond what is being said? Because some of this can be used to change the meanings and justify sin, since we remain fickle in our nature!

Romans 1:17, 3:28, 5:1-2, Galatians 3:11, Philippians 3:9, Hebrews 11:6-7.
