Re: Different Bible Translations - St Jerome

I feel that it is very important that Christians take a serious interest in the development of the bible due to its original intent, then they are more able to read between the lines of why gospels were left out and why specific ones were chosen with the intent of controlling the people in GOD's name.

GOD sent Jerome to show me certain things, it is also GOD's will that the scholars discover and unveil the truth so that his children can be free from dogma and untruths, but will fellow Christians listen when many appear not to wish to read the other gospels or listen to the scholars ?

Blessings in abundance

Hey Star,
I did not know this Jerome was in it. There were probably hundreds involved that we will never know about. Yes I know what you mean also by reading between the lines. People are still doing it today trying to prove what happened and there is a new book or movie out constantly trying to devour what little bit of truth we got. But I see in the bible we were given there is more than enough truth to anyone who honestly and sincerly seeks God. Remember too it not just the paper and ink but the Holy Ghost too which teaches us.

I do see hints of the dogma in it, but I do not believe they changed the 66 books enough for us to lose the truth of what really happened if we search hard enough. I can only conclude that amongst all the evil in religion and powers, God still had His hand in the bible we got. Just as He has His hand over the ones who diligently seek Him today. He is not going to let His people be lost in dogma and lies of religon, neither will he let his children go hungry while others seek every other avenue of earth.

There is really no difference in what people are trying to do with it today, but it will stand the test of time and abuse because it does not lie and it is a two edged sword.

I really dont have a problem with other things that were written at the time as to why they did not make it in. They are still there for the taking if we want them.
There had to be reason for why it turned out the way it did, I see the reason being a good reason and I am thankful for what we got. People will always write poetry, articles, books and essays- And yes, I can read between the lines. I shoud have been a detective. But better yet we have the spirit of God in us to show us and that is better than any book that anyone will ever write.

I would not trust everything we come across online, see on TV or in other new books or old books, and especially every new religion that pops up either. These new religions are just as messed up as the old ones. The secular History is there, but so is the Truth . I have found the 66 to be reliable and that God does speak to us and deals with us through them if we allow Him to. I am not going the road of 'pick out what is myth because there are no facts at my choice' but I can read between the lines.

By the same point one can say it is myth, they also cannot prove that it did not happen. And I believe it is that way for a purpose.

I think that God uses many ways to draw man closer to Him. Wether it be through the stars, waters, plant life or animals, or wether it be through good teaching of the bible or other writing. Sometimes I think He uses our personal, special earthly interests. After all He made them for us.

Be careful little feet where you go. Be careful little eyes what you see, for the father up above is looking down in love....LOL
remember that one? hee hee

1) well as it was Rome that did the commissioning they know all that were involved in the bible that we know today.

2) I agree which is why he is inspiring the scholars

3) The bible predictions are coming to the end we are now in Revelations beyond the conclusion, the bible will have no further use it will become part of history.

4) I am not because millions were killed because of the bible and this is against the will of GOD and his law and commandment 'thou shall not kill'. It as been the breeding ground for fearing GOD and this is anti-love and the love of GOD and the reason why so many turned away from GOD, we lost more then we saved due to the bible.

5) I totally agree

6) Ah they do not resonate with your heart but who are we to judge? How do we know that GOD did not inspire them?

7) It certainly showed us the yang of man! But Jesus showed me in the past life that he and Mary hid some scrolls and when humanity is ready they will indeed be found. There are also more scrolls dictated by Thomas still to be found. I no not where they would not tell me.

8) I totally agree

Bandit this is a beautiful quote thank you for sharing.

Be careful little feet where you go. Be careful little eyes what you see, for the father up above is looking down in love.

Beauty is truly in the eye of the beholder and when we see all through GOD's eyes it is indeed perfect because humanity chose it.

Love beyond measure
