İncillerin durumu hakkında bir soru

Masters, the National Geographic Magazine of December, 2011, has an extensive history of the Bible and its many translations.   This begs the question, Does the Bible as it now stands reflect the truth of creation and the spiritual directions for humankind in a correct manner?

MASTERS:  “Taken at face value, the intent of the Bible has remained as the way human beings should act towards each other and honor themselves as children of God.

Those who worked on these translations inserted their own concepts of what should or should not remain in the pages and were vastly different in their ideals.

  To many different races and religions the Bible became a reference library, and each reacted to the words according to their own situations in life.

 The Jamaican sect of Rastafarians accepted what they wished to believe, yet rejected the concept of a higher power, rather worshipping a renowned leader.  Through the centuries, the ideals and concepts have been used by different powers to reflect what they wished their people to believe and/or understand.

 The earliest and most accurate writings of the first people who could write these things on paper were preserved on skins and papyrus, many of which were lost to time, of course.  Those that have survived are revealing truths that have as yet to be released to the public.

  A translation taken from very old Aramaic documents has corrected the meaning of many words incorrectly translated over the vast reaches of time and helps to bring the text into a more cogent understanding.   Written words are the mainstay of humanity, even though human intelligence has come a long way over the centuries and is able to store information in the brain very well.  However, that information still needs to be put into writing for the masses.  It is ultimately up to the reader to instill the meaning of the Biblical words as is pertinent to him/her personally.  Read the words, but also listen to your inner wisdom as to whether or not the written words give you the instruction and insights you need as an individual.   Remember that humankind has a tremendous sense of ego that does show up in many chapters of the Bible, especially in
the Old Testament.  The Creator does not exhibit ego in any form, for the unexplainable and all-encompassing power of the Universe does not have a singularity of expression.”   (Given 12-2-11)
