1. If the New Testament were originated in Greek, we would never know what Jesus Christ really said. We would know to varying degrees, of course, depending on the knowledge of the translator with the Hebrew and Aramaic dialects; but we would never know exactly what Jesus said. But thank God, the Ancient Aramaic Scriptures do exist. Granted, archeologists have not been able to discover the original Ancient Aramaic manuscripts; but to claim that the Greek translations are the original is preposterous. Jesus spoke in the Galilean dialect of Ancient Aramaic. He spoke of his scribes recording the Scriptures. Why would these scribes have recorded the New Testament in Greek, the language of trade? And where did the Ancient Aramaic New Testament Scriptures come from? Where they not copied by the disciples and apostles of Jesus in the 1st Century of Christianity? This is the basis of this translation project: to rediscover the Ancient Aramaic Scriptures through a fresh new translation.
2. The Book of Revelation and the Letters of the Apostles have been placed in a password protected directory for a reason. The Book of Revelation warns in the end:
22:18-19, I am witnessing to everyone who hears the manifestations of prophesy of this book. If a human being augments their message, God will bring over them the plagues that are written of in this book.
And if a human being reduces from the manifestations of this book of prophesy, God will reduce their share of the Tree of Life, and of that holy city, these that are written of in this book.Most Christians think that this warning refers to the whole Bible. It does not. This warning applies only to the Book of Revelation, and that is why I have placed the Book of Revelation in one document over the Internet and have placed it in a password protected directory, so that people will not take it apart and apply it separately to their favorite interpretations of the prophesies of the rest of the Bible and, furthermore, make the admonition contained therein Revelation 22:18-19, and apply these two passages to the whole Bible.
First of all, none of the churches agree on which Books constitute the Bible and, therefore, they would all be under the condemnation of this warning. But fortunately for them, this warning only applies to the Book of Revelation.
Secondly, the Book of Revelation is the best index to all the Scriptures and, therefore, it is a very important part of the whole Christian faith. Its translation and interpretation are crucial to the understanding of what the Scriptures are all about. It begins at the beginning of Creation and describes all the essential spiritual events that culminate in the end times, the coming again of the Lord Jesus Christ, the rapture, the Judgment, and the reward of the saints forever.
Thirdly, the Book of Revelation contains the extensive messages that the seven angels carry to the Seven Churches. These Seven Churches represent the whole of Christianity -- to this day. There are 200,000 denominations in the world today, which ones are the Seven Churches? Clearly no one can say. However, given the chance every one of these denominations would place themselves in this category, and the tragedy is that I do not think that there would be much consensus as to who the other six churches might be. That is why my translation of the Book of Revelation is significant.
It is not for everyone. It is for those people who have read and understood the whole Scriptures and are in a position to interpret them according to the True Gospel of Jesus Christ.
3. Many people assume that I also excluded the Letters of the Apostles from my online presentation of the New Testament because I'm trying to get people to buy my translation of the New Testament. This is not the case; I give the password to all those people who are sincere in their pursuit of the knowledge of Scriptures. If someone decides to support my translation and buy a Book, so much the better.
Again, the Letters of the Apostles are not for everyone for the same reason that the Book of Revelation is not for everyone. There are some visitors to this web page who are looking for a way to contradict the Bible. However, my purpose for posting this translation is to spread the true Gospel of Jesus Christ. My translation is more conservative than all the other translations. The purpose of this translation is to clarify and repair the damage caused by sectarian translations.
The Churches that Paul wrote his Epistles to are still in existence; however, no one knows who they are. They are the same Seven Churches that Revelation writes about. My translation of the Ancient Aramaic Scriptures is significant in uncovering the truth about the teachings that these Churches embody. The knowledge of the Ancient Aramaic Scriptures, therefore, is important in the unification of the Christian Churches.
Furthermore, the reliance of the Western translators solely on the Greek-Latin versions of the Bible have distorted the meaning of too many essential passages of Scriptures. I have posted two of Paul's Letters, however, so that the readers of this website can understand to whom Paul and the other Apostles wrote their Letters.
These Letters were written in the Ancient Aramaic, not in Greek, because they contain hundreds of passages from the Old Testament Scriptures, which Paul quoted directly from the original Ancient Aramaic, the Hebrew-Aramaic that Jesus taught, in other words, the sacred scribal language of all Scriptures.
