Correcting the Bible to the Pearl Which Corrects

Mrs. Craig recently commented, "I see in your blog you grapple with reoccurring themes: the generous nature of God, the first chapter of Genesis, your interpretation or understanding of "In the beginning," and so on. It is personal to your path." What I am working on is Bible correction. I encourage you, everyone, to take up the challenge and rewarding hobby of correcting your Bible.

I believe in the plenary inspiration and inerrancy of the original scriptures. I.e., the originals, the autographs. Those scriptures are a pearl of great price. What I learned in seminary was that we do not have them laid out for us. Not in the Greek, Hebrew, or Aramaic. We have to dig them out. As we dig, we learn; and as we learn, we grow in correction ourselves. Trust the Great Teacher, the Holy Spirit, to teach you and guide you into understanding. Do not lock yourself into fixed conclusions, because She has a lot of earth-shattering illuminations to fix your immature presumptions. You have GOT to change your views to see what is truly "there." What is "there" (God as It really is) is only alluded to in any Bible. You cannot ever see it without change brought about by illumination; illumination for us as brought about by CORRECTING OUR BIBLES.

Buy into the fact that everything you know is wrong. Everything in the Bible is just to get the Beginning in Genesis 1:1 to the End of Revelation: God having become manifest -- here is the process; you are in it; and you are it. It is just ONE thing which is becoming, but the one thing is made up of many things It has become WITHOUT SEPARATION. A purposeful cacophony. It is conscious, a person, and myriads of persons.

Speaking of buying, the Pearl of Great Price has to be SOUGHT AND BOUGHT. It is uncovered line upon line, precept upon precept, here a little and there a little.

Seek out the translation of names, which are natures. Like 'Jethro,' which means "his overflowing abundance." This is simply a recognition of the nature of God.

The last word in the Greek version of John 1:18, as it is used, can ONLY mean "He has revealed." I.e., He has revealed/presented by being it.

Revelation 11:15 says, "the kingdom of our Lord and of His Christ." Apply this two-guys-as-one idea to Jesus and His Anointed. Which is which?

The crucifixion of the Word upon the flesh was at the Beginning, the first act of creation.

The Hebrew word hayah (is, am, was, were, to be, to become, etc.) carries the idea of transition.

How can YHWH mean "I AM," when it is third person singular, "HIS BECOMING"?

(Here we go. From Moses at Mi Yodeya: "The name of God is not the third person form of ''being'', it is the third person form of ''causing to be'' or ''causing to exist''. It is much more powerful than ''he is'', it means ''He causes existence to exist''. As existence IS Him, I translate YHWH as His Becoming.)

Water means psychological. Blood means present reality. By this present reality, the "Blood of Jesus Christ," we are saved, we are redeemed, we are reconciled, and we are healed, because we are His.

To not live in submission to being His life is to be a thief. Judas stole from the bag. If unrepentant, we also steal from the Life.

Oh my goodness; the Pearl you will find if you correct your Bible. I use Victor Alexander's translations from the ancient Aramaic and Bullinger's The Companion Bible (Authorized version). I like Bullinger because he constantly tells where the translation is wrong, which is just about everywhere. Alexander uses the Aramaic (Eastern) authors' worldview, either unknown or rejected by the European (Western) translators.

Down in there somewhere, known only to the Holy Spirit, is the Pearl. Read, wrestle, listen to Her, and become.
