MODERN BIBLE TRANSLATIONS – LESSON 11

HOW THEY CAME ABOUT

In this series we have compared many modern bible versions to traditional versions. What we have not yet talked about is how we got our English versions from the original languages in which the scripture was written.

We believe in “verbal plenary inspiration” which means God (Holy Spirit) gave the human writers the words to write. This is contrary to the liberal views that say while God may have given them the inspiration, they wrote it in their own words according to their own understanding or wisdom. This latter view makes it easy to eliminate some verses. This view believes that the original writers of scripture of the old manuscripts felt that it explained things better by adding words and verses to make things clearer. Therefore, the modern versions’ authors would eliminate these verses for doctrinal purposes “because it probably wasn’t there originally, therefore, let us take it out.”

Such a loose and liberal mindset is what has altered the modern perversions from the full word of God.

The New Testament has been the main target of these “critical thinking” scholars.   The New Testament was written in “Koine” Greek which was the common spoken language throughout the Roman world of Jesus’ time. It is different from “classical” Greek of the Greek playwrights.

The Old Testament was written in Hebrew except for scarce isolated passages in Aramaic such as the first chapters of Daniel.

When the original Greek or Hebrew manuscripts are broken down into English for our reading, there are three types of versions that are created. They are [1] transliterations, [2] versions, and [3] paraphrases.

It is important to understand the differences in the three kinds of “bibles” that are produced this way. Tomorrow I will define these three very different processes and the kinds of bibles that are produced from them. It is also noteworthy that some versions use other manuscripts or versions that are neither Greek or Hebrew but are a version of another version and not of original language manuscripts. The Septuagint and the Latin Vulgate are commonly relied upon, neither of which are original manuscripts.

LET US BE WELL WATERED

Living in Florida in the summertime lets one know about heat. It has been hotter than usual this week. The temperature has hit the 90° with the heat index close to 100°. Fortunately, we do get rain in the summer to cool things off.

I love flowers and Russell has planted many for me in all assorted sizes of pots. They are in full bloom, but the require a lot of watering. If we go one day without watering them, they will wilt and longer than one day, chances are they will die. All the hard work would be in vain without watering them.

In Psalm One God speaks of the man that walks not in the counsel of the ungodly, or stands in the way of sinners, and does not sit in the scornful. In verse three it tells us what he will be like, “And he shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water, that bringeth forth his fruit in his season; his leaf also shall not wither; and whatsoever he doeth shall prosper.”

Then in Jeremiah 17:6-7 it says, “Blessed is the man that trusteth in the LORD, and whose hope the LORD is. For he shall be as a tree planted by the waters, and that spreadeth out her roots by the river, and shall not see (fear) when heat cometh, but her leaf shall be green; and shall not be careful in the year of drought, neither shall cease from yielding fruit.”

These two scriptures give us hope that if we are trusting in the LORD, first through salvation, then our daily walk, then we can be certain that we will not thirst. We will grow, and we will not wither. The key is trusting in God and not ungodly worldly counsel. 

Jeremiah had the assignment to prophesy to the ungodly of what was coming, but chapter 17 gives hope to those that were walking uprightly with God.

Do you ever feel like you are in a dry season? The way out of that is through the promises of God. They are our hope that builds faith to believe even when everyone else’s trees are withering. Jesus is the living water that rains on us daily as we study His Word.

There is no fear when we trust God. We can be assured that He will take care of us when we seek him and walk uprightly and not in sin. Like my flowers, I must visit the living water daily to not live in drought!

PROPHETIC WORDS AND EXHORTATIONS

APOSTLE PAT MURRAY

PROPHETIC EXHORTATION

6-13-2022

Sometimes we tend to forget that people who’re struggling with their faith and/or the issues of their life in general; Will closely watch Christians with great expectations. Most people are sincerely hoping to see out of a Christian less anger, more mercy, less judgment, more compassion, less criticism, more encouragement, less grudges, more forgiveness, less gossip, more prayer, less hate and more love. Jesus tells us in Matt. 5:16…”Let your lights shine before men that they may see your good works and glorify your Father which is in heaven". Now we know that Jesus wasn’t talking about actual lights here in this scripture. However, He was telling us that as Christians we must daily live our lives pleasing to Him; And by all means to live each day in a way that lost and hurting people can see Jesus in everything we say and do. Yes, to always be a true example of God and His love. Don’t ever forget these onlooker are sincerely watching not only how we as Christians ACT...But also how we REACT to them, to other folks and to various situations. Face it my friend, as a Jesus loving, praying, Bible carrying, blood bought, born again, spirit filled Christian; Your life is an open book and folks are reading you...And they’re watching you to see how you talk, what you say and how you treat each other; As well as how you treat those you don’t know. So make sure your life is lived in such a way so as to point the hurting, unsaved and the unchurched people to our loving Lord Jesus Christ. Have a blessed day, be careful how you walk, how you talk, treat your fellow believers...And how you treat those who’re checking you out and reading your book.
