Is the Holy Bible from Ancient Eastern Manuscripts a trustworthy translation of the Bible?
Because it is translated from Aramaic, I would assume that it is closer to the original thought forms of Jesus Christ than any other language since it is the language that He spoke.
I’d love to hear your perspectives!
First off, I think it is true that the gospel of Matthew, being the first to be written, was composed in aramaic. At places the gospel really gives the impression of being translated from aramaic. However I do not think this goes for the rest of the books of the Bible.
The gospel of Matthew would likely have been composed while the church was still largely based in Israel, and the language of choice at that time and place was aramaic and / or greek.
On the “eye of needle” issue, I have heard that in the wall of Jerusalem there were small openings for guests who came after the city gates had been shut for the night. A guest who thus came with a camel would have to sit down the camel on its knees and drag it in through the small opening. And such a small opening was called “eye of needle”.
The eye of the needle as a gate that a camel could actually pass through isn’t borne out by Matthew 19:23-26. When Jesus said it was easier for a camel to pass through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter the kingdom of heaven, the disciples asked, “Then who can be saved?” Jesus answered that things that are impossible for human beings are not impossible for God.
The dialog indicates that the parable was about something impossible. Jesus didn’t answer the disciples by saying, “No, dummies! I’m talking about that gate! A camel could do it, and a rich man could too.” And the disciples didn’t say, “Oh, you mean the gate. We could do that. It would be like doing the limbo.”
Also, from what I found online (and I don’t know how to copy things on my phone, which I am using right now), the gate explanation didn’t appear till hundreds of years later, and I read that St. Jerome’s commentary said that the Gospel meant an actual needle.
The gate story strikes me as another example of trying to show that Jesus didn’t mean what His words sounded like. Take up your cross? Can’t we just put it on the camel and let the camel bring it through the narrow gate (Matthew 7, Luke 13) for us?
Peace to all,
So true the eye of the needle is logical, and there also exists a place called “The Needle Pass” i believe. And if travelers followed tradition of the path they were able to accomplish the path with their camels.
"Eye has not seen, ear has not heard, and upon the heart of man has not come up that which God has prepared for those who love him. But God has revealed it to us by his Spirit, for The Spirit searches into everything, even the depths of God. And who is the man who knows what is in a man except only the spirit of the man that is in him? So also a man does not know what is in God, only The Spirit of God knows. But we have not received The Spirit of the world, but The Spirit that is from God, that we may know the gift that has been given to us from God. But those things we speak are not in the teaching of the words of the wisdom of men,but in the teaching of The Spirit, and we compare spiritual things to the spiritual. For a selfish* man does not receive spiritual things, for they are madness to him, and he is not able to know, for they are known by The Spirit. * (“d‟vanphesh” comes from Napsha –“soul”, “self”, “animal life”, and can mean, “soulish”, “selfish”, “brutish”.) But a spiritual man judges everything and he is not judged by any man. For who has known the mind of THE LORD that he may teach him? But we do have the mind of The Messiah.” - 1 Corinthians 2:9-16
To me the Bible is two books, First the Bible is a reference book and historical nonfiction of the Greatest Man and the greatest story ever told of the Christ, and Secondly, The Inspired Word of God, I believe, and not all can be written because the world is too small to hold all of the books that could be written from the teachings of The Christ, or many other reasons, explainable through logic in faith, in all generalizations, I believe,
I believe the Aramaic Translation is A Great Bible, found and speaks of God. and logically All Bibles do, I believe. Even A single Bible with only 66 Books contain stories throughout of Trinity Gods becoming One Holy Family in all, and still contains the truth from the Faith of Abraham and The Two Nature God becoming again in all One Holy Spirit Family One God in being, I believe, logically. And speaks glory through all of the logical formulas of the Wondrous Mysteries through The Christ becoming again in all mankind One Holy Spirit Family One God in being. To me rationally, The Intrinsic undefiled Logic contained cannot be un-passed, changed for a new or better pass, and only follows undefiled and follows only one logical “needle pass” rebirth and salvation for all, no matter how we change the Bible or how many new Bibles we find, infinite wisdom from the OMNILogic through the Mind of God can never be improved, rewritten, In Believe, OMNILogically.
Stories in the Bible are taught through Parables with respect to the teachings of The Church and the logical formulas through The Wondrous Mysteries of the Faith, I believe.
To me the logical Mind of God follows the needle pass, in all cases, never failing, undefiled in direction, immortal and unable to die incorruptible from choice direction pointing through the light in “Eye of the Needle” OMNILogically, I believe.
What can be the best name of my newlogical Parable?
The Parable of the Logical Needle Eye.
What becomes through Needle Pass?
The Needle is the undefiled logical path. and rationally there is only One Way? And the logical infallible path is from the path being manifested from the “intelligence manifesting” the path to become again, One God, through all generalizations, I believe.
I can finish the story as the story name is generated, And this is the beginning of the new logical Parable, by Stephen a story becoming named by all.
Peace always,
Stephen
Thank you all for the insightful replies.
This is the kind of info I was looking for.
Cheers!
Peace to all,
In all generalizations, logically The Power in Mind of God Family sharing is in passing out the keys, I believe.
Faithfully we say what the Church says, but logically, through the created and becomings of all mankind is all as cousins now becoming sisters and brothers becoming Sons and Daughters becoming again a Family of God, OMNILogically.
Our God is from three Powers and Gods preexisting before creation Created through two natures, spirit and life from The Father becoming transformed immortality through the Mother, Mary in the Immaculate Conception through the New Eve for the immortal Flesh for all becoming brothers and sisters together in One Body of Christ for the Son, Jesus, The New Adam becoming all mankind through the Christ, Sons and Daughters of God in all becoming again in all immortally bodily glorified and incorruptibly Divine Spirit Family transfigured reimaged in One Divine Spirit Family One God in being, I believe, OMNILogicalGod, same God from the Faith of Abraham, in all generalizations.
The Christ is immaculate conception logically becoming from the Holy Spirit Family in all becoming The Christ, I believe, OMNILogically.
For From through and for the Christ we become again in One God, I believe.
Peace always,
Stephen
