Today,
reply is on translating the Bible into English and other languages.
“Faith comes by hearing” means by comprehending, understanding,
and properly fitting together the spirit content shared from
divinity, rather than by reacting to noises or sounds from speech and
utterance. GOD is not the author of confusion. The Bible is a
collection and full library made up from fragments and original
manuscripts written using multiple ancient languages (e.g., Aramaic,
Babylonian, Hebrew, Greek, Latin), describing multiple appearances on
earth by the pattern of priesthood in heaven, and documenting
multiple covenant agreements and relationships between divinity and
mankind from various regions and territories (e.g., Canaan, Judea,
Macedonia, Syria), from different government documents and officials
as well as from multiple sacred writers (e.g., apostles, evangelists,
priests, prophets). The ancient materials must be handled carefully
because they are delicate and easily damaged. Preserving the
physical artifact is important; however, more important is continuing
their admonition, authority, guidance, instruction, sacred law,
spirit content, and prophetic vision imparted from divinity. It is
written: Ecclesiastes 12: 10-14, King James Version (KJV): 10 The
preacher sought to find out acceptable words: and that which was
written was upright, even words of truth. 11 The words of the wise
are as goads, and as nails fastened by the masters of
assemblies, which are given from one shepherd. 12 And
further, by these, my son, be admonished: of making many books there
is no end; and much study is a weariness of the flesh. 13
Let us hear the conclusion of the whole matter: Fear God, and keep
his commandments: for this is the whole duty of man.
14 For God shall bring every work into judgment, with every secret
thing, whether it be good, or whether it be evil. A
fighter in the “Yahoo! Answers” pubic forum on Religion and
Spirituality who uses the ID “Me and myself” (Level 1 with 68
points) posted the following:
Did
Jesus Christ speak English?
If
Not, then Why do we consider the Bible written in English to be the
word of God rather than the word of the translators?
THE
GOLDEN ARROW: For I testify unto every man that heareth the words of
the prophecy of this book, If any man shall add unto these things,
God shall add unto him the plagues that are written in this book:
And if any man shall take away from the words of the book of this
prophecy, God shall take away his part out of the book of life, and
out of the holy city, and from the things which are written in
this book. He which testifieth these things saith, Surely I come
quickly. Amen. Even so, come, Lord Jesus. The grace of our Lord
Jesus Christ be with you all. Amen. (Revelation 22: 18-21,
KJV)

“Me
and myself”, developing Christian believers are encouraged to think
of the Bible as the word “from” GOD proclaimed using apostles,
elders (patriarchs), heads of tribes, judges, kings, prophets, and
other anointed spokespersons, rather than academicians, politicians,
professors, “thought leaders,” and translators. The letter and
specific wording of sacred messages, teachings, and visions can be
discrete, and separate from the spirit content that they convey and
project using the exact same words. Those who serve as scribes and
translators for the holy writings, are not chosen on the basis of
their scholastic achievement, professional reputation, and secular
knowledge. They are chosen on the basis of their sacred
knowledge, spiritual anointing, commitment, discernment,
experience, and maturity. They must be disciplined, give attention
to detail, and obey strict rules for the work, because within a
manuscript (we say, the text) many subtleties will appear (barely
visible differences; sudden shifts in intent, meaning, quality, and
value). Also, many of the decisions made for interpretations and
what finally will be presented must be agreed upon through a process
like that of “peer review.”
Because
GOD is a spirit, human communication with GOD, for GOD, and about GOD
must contain and deposit into others aspects of the same spirit
substances that are fitted together as divine fullness (we say, the
makeup of GOD; the Godhead; the Father, the Son, the Holy Spirit).
Included are faith, forbearance, holiness, joy, longsuffering,
lovingkindness, oneness without sameness, personhood, wisdom, and
wrath against sin. Among mankind, language, audible speech, use of
utterance, and expressing emotions and thoughts with gestures,
movements, and words are human tools that allow agreement, influence
on the emotional and intellectual content of others, shared focus on
material objects, and social interaction.
Properly
understood, the achievements of Bible translators are accomplished
through operations of the Holy Spirit. Being diffuse, immaterial,
and without physical form, divinity can operate within the
consciousness and self-will (willpower) of created beings and living
creatures, and exists within the living as life essence (we
say, breath; spirit; word). Where the Bible is presented in
translation that uses different languages, forms of expression and
meaning equal to the original direction, focus, texture, tone and the
various aspects of spirit must be acknowledged and embodied so that
the presence and substance of divinity to be imparted is preserved,
and is not altered or changed. Consider again the following that
uses language from the Bible, and a presentation from the music
ministry of Marty Goetz:
1.
Proverbs 30: 5-6, King James Version (KJV): 5 Every word of God is
pure: he is a shield unto them that put their trust in him.
6 Add thou not unto his words, lest he reprove thee, and thou be
found a liar.
2.
John 6: 63, KJV: 63 It is the spirit that quickeneth; the flesh
profiteth nothing: the words that I speak unto you, they are
spirit, and they are life.
3.
Revelation 21: 5-8, KJV: 5 And he that sat upon the throne said,
Behold, I make all things new. And he said unto me, Write: for these
words are true and faithful. 6 And he said unto me, It is done. I am
Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end. I will give unto him that
is athirst of the fountain of the water of life freely. 7 He that
overcometh shall inherit all things; and I will be his God, and he
shall be my son. 8 But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the
abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and
idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part in the lake which
burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second death.
There
is far more that should be said, correctly examined, and spiritually
apprehended. (For example, 4.

Even
so, I trust this fragment will be useful. Be it unto you according
to your faith.
