Why translate?
I began studying Biblical Hebrew and Koiné Greek in 2001-2002 as a way to decide the KJV/NIV debate.
There have been times I felt overwhelmed, but I prayerfully pressed on.
FAQ/Core beliefs
The Importance of Compassion and Service
Compassion and service are at the heart of many spiritual traditions. By helping others and practicing empathy, we can deepen our own spiritual practice and make a positive impact in the world.
"This is how people will know you believe in Me, that you love one another."
-Jesus, John 13:35
What is the difference between monotheism and polytheism?
Monotheism is the belief in one God or deity, while polytheism is the belief in multiple gods or deities. Many of the world's major religions, such as Judaism, Christianity, and Islam, are monotheistic, while others, such as Hinduism and ancient Greek and Roman religions, are polytheistic.
As Christians, we are monotheistic. We believe in the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, He is the same God who protected Joseph in Egypt. Eventually, He chose Moses to lead the Israelites out of Egypt. Soon after, He gave Moses the Torah/ the Law that set the stage for Jesus to install His Father's Kingdom.
What is the significance of the holy scriptures in religion?
Almost every major religion [and many religions with fewer believers] has a sacred text. Reading those texts is vital to one's faith. As such, the Bible is central to Christianity.
Like other religions, the Bible is older than the English language, so we MUST translate it.
