Psalm 40:3,5,8,10,11,16 (R) 3 (NLT) He has given me a new song to sing, a hymn of praise to our God. Many will see what he has done and be amazed. They will put their trust in the LORD. 5 (TPT) O Lord, our God, no one can compare with you. Such wonderful works and miracles are all found with you! And you think of us all the time with your countless expressions of love— far exceeding our expectations! 8 (GNT) How I love to do your will, my God! I keep your teaching in my heart." 10 (NLT) I have not kept this good news hidden in my heart; I have talked about your faithfulness and saving power. I have told everyone in the great assembly of your unfailing love and faithfulness. 11 (NRSV) Do not, O Lord, withhold your mercy from me; let your steadfast love and your faithfulness keep me safe forever. 16 (VOICE) But may all who look for You discover true joy and happiness in You; May those who cherish how You save them always say, “O Eternal One, You are great and are first in our hearts.” SECTION 1 Psalm 27:1 (1) 1 (VOICE) The Eternal is my light amidst my darkness and my rescue in times of trouble. So whom shall I fear? He surrounds me with a fortress of protection…. Prayerful Living Publishing, LLC. 602-635-1987 http://www.weeklybiblenotes.com 1 Psalm 98:1 (2) 1 (GNT) Sing a new song to the LORD; he has done wonderful things! By his own power and holy strength he has won the victory. Isaiah 52:9,10 (3) 9 (GW) Break out into shouts of joy, ruins of Jerusalem. The LORD will comfort his people. He will reclaim Jerusalem. 10 (VOICE) The Eternal has flexed His muscles, bared His holy arm for the world to see His power; Every nation, every person, every place on earth will witness the victory of our God. Isaiah 38:18-20 (4) 18 (NRSV) For Sheol cannot thank you, death cannot praise you; those who go down to the Pit cannot hope for your faithfulness. 19 (TPT) It’s the living who thank you as I do today. One generation makes your faithfulness known to the next. 20 (NEB) The LORD is at hand to save me; so let us sound the music of our praises all our life long in the house of the LORD. Isaiah 53:1 (5) 1 (VOICE) Indeed, who would ever believe it? Who would possibly accept what we’ve been told? Who has witnessed the awesome power and plan of the Eternal in action. Deuteronomy 30:19,20 (6) 19 (NLT) … between life and death, between blessings and curses. I call on heaven and earth to witness the choice you make. Oh, that you would choose life, that you and your descendants might live! 20 (NLT) You can make this choice by loving the LORD your God, obeying him, and committing yourself firmly to him. This is the key to your life. And if you love and obey the LORD, you will live long… SECTION 2 Psalm 84:2 (7) 2 (GNT) How I want to be there! I long to be in the Lord's Temple. With my whole being I sing for joy to the living God. 1 Kings 17:1-6 (8) Ravens Feed Elijah 1 (NLT) …Elijah, who was from Tishbe in Gilead, told King Ahab, "As surely as the LORD, the God of Israel, lives – the God whom I worship and serve – there will be no dew or rain during the next few years unless I give the word!" 2 (NLT) Then the LORD said to Elijah, 3 (VOICE) Eternal One: I want you to travel away from this place and go east. Keep yourself hidden near the Cherith stream, east of the Jordan. 4 (NLT) Drink from the brook and eat what the ravens bring you, for I have commanded them to bring you food.” 5 (VOICE) Elijah did just as the Eternal had instructed him to do. He lived near the Cherith stream, east of the Jordan. 6 (LAMSA) And the ravens brought him bread and meat in the morning, and bread and meat in the evening; and he drank from the brook. Luke 12:24 (9) 24 (NEB) Think of the ravens: they neither sow nor reap; they have no storehouse or barn; yet God feeds them. You are worth far more than the birds! Deuteronomy 8:3 (10) 3 (NEB) …man cannot live on bread alone but lives by every word that comes from the mouth of the LORD.

The news about him spread throughout all that territory. Luke 8:4-8 (12) The Parable oF the Sower 4 (VOICE) While a huge crowd gathered with people from many surrounding towns streaming to hear Jesus, He told them a parable. The Parable oF the Sower 5 (NLT) “A farmer went out to plant his seed. As he scattered it across his field, some seed fell on a footpath, where it was stepped on, and the birds ate it. 6 (GNT) Some of it fell on rocky ground, and when the plants sprouted, they dried up because the soil had no moisture. 7 (VOICE) Still other seeds landed among thorns where they grew for a while, but eventually the thorns stunted them so they couldn’t thrive or bear fruit. 8 (VOICE) But some seeds fell into good soil—soft, moist, free from thorns. These seeds not only grew, but they also produced more seeds, a hundred times what the farmer originally planted…. Galatians 6:7 (13) 7 (NLT) Don’t be misled—you cannot mock the justice of God. You will always harvest what you plant. 2 Corinthians 5:16,17 (14) 16 (TPT) So then, from now on, we have a new perspective that refuses to evaluate people merely by their outward appearances. For that’s how we once viewed the Anointed One, but no longer do we see him with limited human insight. 17 (VOICE) Therefore, if anyone is united with the Anointed One, that person is a new creation. The old life is gone— and see—a new life has begun! SECTION 4 Psalm 56:4,13 (15) 4 (VOICE) In God—whose word I praise—in God I place my trust. I shall not let fear come in, for what can measly men do to me? 13 (TPT) For you have saved my soul from death and my feet from stumbling so that I can walk before the Lord bathed in his life-giving light. John 17:1-3 (16) 1 (TPT) This is what Jesus prayed as he looked up into heaven, “Father, the time has come. Unveil the glorious splendor of your Son so that I will magnify your glory! 2 (TPT) You have already given me authority over all people so that I may give the gift of eternal life to all those that you have given to me. 3 (VOICE) and all who receive Me will experience everlasting life, a new intimate relationship with You (the one True God) and Jesus the Anointed (the One You have sent). John 10:10 (17) 10 (GNT) … I have come in order that you might have life---life in all its fullness. Prayerful Living Publishing, LLC. 602-635-1987 http://www.weeklybiblenotes.com 3 Colossians 3:1,3,4,9,10 (18) 1 (TPT) Christ’s resurrection is your resurrection too. This is why we are to yearn for all that is above, for that’s where Christ sits enthroned at the place of all power, honor, and authority! 3 (VOICE) …Your new life is now hidden, enmeshed with the Anointed who is in God. 4 (NEB) When Christ, who is our life, is manifested, then you too will be manifested with him in glory. 9 (LAMSA) Do not lie one to another, but put away the old life with all its practices; 10 (FENTON) and put on the new, that is renewed in knowledge—the very picture of its Creator— SECTION 5 Psalm 47:1,7 (19) 1 (MOFF) All nations, clap your hands, with ringing homage to God; 7 (FENTON) For GOD is the King of all earth, So now with intelligence sing!

  • THE ISSUE of REBAPTISM at Issue Is How We Are to Understand the Purpose of Baptism As Well As the Mode of Baptism
    THE ISSUE OF REBAPTISM At issue is how we are to understand the purpose of baptism as well as the mode of baptism. If baptism if for the purpose of receiving forgiveness from God for past sins, then one does not have salvation prior to baptism - because salvation cannot be granted us while we are still in our sinful state. If baptism is not for the purpose of receiving forgiveness for past sins, then it is not essential to salvation because our sinful state was changed prior to baptism. In this case, baptism is understood as a required rite, but one that only "testifies" to the forgiveness, acceptance, that God has already granted us. One key text in this discussion (but not the only one) is Acts 2:38. Below are several English translation renderings of this text. King James Version - "for the remission of sins. American Standard Version - "unto the remission of sins. New King James Version - "for the remission of sins." New International Version - "for the forgiveness of your sins." Revised Standard Version - "for the forgiveness of your sins." New Revised Standard Version - "so that your sins may be forgiven." New American Standard Bible - " for the forgiveness of your sins." World English Bible - "for the forgiveness of sins." Bible in Basic English - "for the forgiveness of your sins." Contemporary English Version - "so that your sins will be forgiven." Good News Bible - "so that your sins will be forgiven." God's Word - "so that your sins will be forgiven." Young's Literal Translation - "to remission of sins." Modern King James Version

  • The Rapture Debate Jesus Was Born in a Small Village
    The Rapture Debate Jesus was born in a small village outside of Jesusalem called Bethlehem, presumambly the son of Mary and Joseph who themselves were descendants of King David. The ancient Hebrew prophets had long before written many things concerning Jesus. Hundreds of specific statements are found throughout the Hebrew scriptures that speak with clarity and authority hundreds of years before His birth. Soon after birth, Jesus lived for a short time in Egypt and then most of His life in northern Israel in the hill country of Galilee. At about thirty years of age, Jesus began a public ministry mostly in the area around the Sea of Galilee with an occasional appearance in Jerusalem and elsewhere. Around Him was gathered a close group of 12 men while many others often flocked to be near Him as well. These early seekers listened to words of wisdom, instruction in righteousness (often not the typical traditional line) and were witness to countless miracles of healings, casting out demons, and even raising of the dead. He taught both privately and out in the open, even teaching in the Hebrew Synagogues. Often, Jesus was found in conflict with religious authorities, especially when He traveled to Jerusalem. Despite a constant display of kindness, love, and compassion, Jesus was accused of many things; violating the Sabbath, organizing rebellion against Rome and repeatedly claiming that God was His Father (blasphemy). The establishment would have none of it though many regular folks thought otherwise. To them, this just might be the long- awaited Messiah, the king so clearly written of by the prophets.

  • Bible New Testament George Lamsa Translation of the Peshitta
    PASCAS FOUNDATION (Aust) Ltd Em: [email protected] ABN 23 133 271 593 Em: [email protected] Pascas Foundation is a not for profit organisation Queensland, Australia www.pascasworldcare.com www.pascashealth.com 2 Lamsa Bible http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lamsa_Bible The Holy Bible from Ancient Eastern Manuscripts (commonly called the Lamsa Bible) was published by George M. Lamsa in 1933. It was derived, both Old and New Testaments, from the Syriac Peshitta, the Bible used by the Assyrian Church of the East and other Syriac Christian traditions. Lamsa, following the tradition of his church, claimed the originality of the Aramaic New Testament, against the academic mainstream opinion that the language of the New Testament was Greek, and thus claimed his translation was superior to texts based on later Greek manuscripts. Consequently, Lamsa claimed that the New Testament of his translation was based on older sources than other English Bibles, translated from Greek. The New Testament translators of the King James Version, for example, used an edition of Erasmus' Greek Textus Receptus. The Aramaic primacy of the New Testament text is considered by its proponents to be more accurate than the text used for the KJV of the Holy Bible. Dr George M. Lamsa (Syriac: ܐ ܓܪܓ) (August 5, 1892 – September 22, 1975) was an Assyrian author. He was born in Mar Bishu in what is now the extreme east of Turkey. A native Aramaic speaker, he translated the Aramaic Peshitta (literally "straight, simple") Old and New Testaments into English.

  • Bible Chart with Grade Levels
    Bible Chart with Grade Levels Preface: I have been meaning to do a chart like this for some time; the problem being is, I don’t really know how to judge reading levels. However, I have thought about subdividing the translations for the exegetical study of each chapter of the Bible and adding in another category of easy-to-read translations. In order to do that, I needed to know which translations were easy-to-read. This resulted in the following chart, culled mostly from elsewhere, with the credit given at the bottom of the chart.

  • The Life of GEORGE M. LAMSA Translator
    THE HOLY BIBLE As translated by Dr. George M. Lamsa This outstanding work is a direct translation from the Peshitta, which is the ancient biblical manuscript written in Aramaic. This was the translator's native language and the language spoken by Jesus and His disciples. Twenty-five years were required to complete this translation. The Four Gospels were com­ pleted first and published in 1933, followed by the New Testament in 1940 and finally the entire Bible in 1957. Translating from the ancient Aramaic manuscript directly into modern English enabled the author to rectify many distortions of meaning occurring in the King James text. Since the phraseology of one language is frequently not duplicated in another errors in trans­ lation occur. The King James version came through a series of four languages, Aramaic to Greek, Greek to Latin, and Latin to English. During this transition these languages themselves changed. Modern Greek is nothing like third century Greek. Modern English is nothing like the thirteenth century English of Wycliffe. Latin is a dead language. The fact that there are not more errors in the King James version is a testimony to the dedication and inspiration of the many scholars responsible through the centuries for the evolution of this text. ■\* * y*. The Lamsa translation of the Holy Bible and other books py Dr. Lamsa described on the inside back cover are available in many libraries, the larger book stores or may be purchased from the Aramaic Bible Society.

  • Do the 66 Books Really Measure Up?
    do the 66 books really measure up? Most Christian articles of faith assert that the 66 books of the Bible represent the Word of GOD1, at least in the original versions. I do not agree. I have found the number of Authoritative books - those with a perfect alignment befitting of GOD - to be fewer. Ancient scribes and modern translators are not the topic. The fact is that GOD the FATHER is Perfect, and HIS Word is Perfect. We are dangerously wrong to be ascribing to HIS Perfection or that of YESU (JESUS) or the HOLY SPIRIT anything that is demonstrably not perfect. Among the 66 books are original inconsistencies that prevent me from describing the collection as HIS Word. GOD does not make erroneous statements. GOD does not contradict HIMSELF. My answer is “No, not all of the 66 books measure up to HIS standard of Perfection - there is subtracting to be done.” I hope this study will help you see more clearly the difference between what FATHER really said and doctrines that are founded upon lesser writings. Dare we insult GOD by following human traditions? Men have elevated imperfect writings as HIS Word! A tradition from 1546 adds still more books as sacred with anyone opposing them declared anathema (accursed)!2 The doctrines of men unsurprisingly conflict with one another today. I do not expect the problems I make note of here to disturb your faith in GOD but only what part of your faith you’ve unduly placed in men and their traditions. My hope is that you will rely upon the HOLY SPIRIT, our TEACHER, and walk away from soiled doctrines of men who would not listen to HIM.
