companion bible

(1/3) > >>

psalmsinger:
Instead of resurrecting an older thread with the same topic, I thought I'd make a quick note about the companion bible.  I was studying the Mobile conference notes and the new teaching on the sabbath and I dusted off my companion bible to check it out again.  The miles of notes in the margin are not especially bullinger's commentaries but his work on the original manuscripts.  He frequently refers to the Syriac, Gr., Vulgate and Aramaic, and which words or phrases were not found in the original manuscripts and the words that Ray mentioned that were incorrectly translated.  I find that what I learned from studying that bible is like a second witness to Ray's insight.  There is no carnal translation or teacher that can verify the truth of what the Holy spirit teaches you through the revelation of Christ Jesus,however, every tool is useful for God's purpose.  It is truly wonderful when you get to experience "The Spirit itself beareth witness with our spirit, that we are the children of God:"  Romans 8:16

Rest in the Lord,
Barbara

Hey, that is really cool.  I have been slowly going thru favorite passages online w/ the Sinaiticus that Ray mentioned.

Thanks for that 2nd witness to what Ray is seeing.

Thak you for that info psalmsinger and Gena; I need to check those out.  I was hoping to already have the Rotherhams Bible as well.  Gena, have your heard of thewiritngs of the Vaticanus, the writings of Pliny the older and Pliny the younger?  They are supposed to be pretty accurate  writings from that time as well?   

gmik:
Hi.  I have actually heard of them but have not read them.  I would love to read some "newspaper" style info written during those early years by some on lookers, not necessarily believers.

Imagine a texas paper mentioning a tiny disturbance happening outside Jerusalem!!

Gena,
Are you familiar with Josephus, the Historian of Jesus' time?  He writes about Jesus in that very way; although he has very little to say about Him other than...

"...Now there was about this time, Jesus, a wise man, if it be lawful to call him a man; for he was a doer of wonderful works, a teacher of such men as had a veneration for truth.  He drew over to him both many of the Jews and many of the Gentiles: HE was the Christ.  And when Pilate, at the suggestion of the principal men among us, had condemned him to the cross, those that loved him at first did not forsake him; for he appeared unto them alive again the thrid day, as the divine prophets had spoken of these and ten thousand other wonderful things concerning him; whence the tribe of christians, so named from him, are not extinct at this day...."


I just love these words from Josephus.... :o :D
