Well,at least it's different. This is Bruce, aged 66 - and Joan,82. We live in a small village in Cornwall. U.K.,about 8 miles SW of Launceston. We've been Bible students for 35 years - me more off than on until recently - it's Joan that's kept the show on the road!
About 4 years ago, I "chanced" on the writings of one L. Ray Smith on-line. Phew, what an eye-opener! Here, at last was someone expounding Scripture without all the Trinitarian, Devil-esposing Babylonian garbage that now represents itself as "Christian". I thank God for him..we are NOT alone.
About two years ago, on Ray's recomendation, we purchased a Concordant N.T. This is a marvelous translation - it sets to rights so much that is lacking, or erroneous in the others. Particularly, it parses the Greek aorist (present continuous) tense correctly, showing clearly how many of Yahweh's acts in this world are on-going - so much so that the complete Concordant O.T. arrived on the doorstep three days ago, and we've been glued to it ever since! This is an ADVERTISMENT - Sorry!
With our prayers for Ray's swift recovery & participation in your next get-together - wish we could be there - we hope to be frequent - and useful - contributors to this forum in future Bruce.
