VERSIONS OF THE BIBLE
BIBLE TRANSLATION AND PARAPHRASE
Translation and paraphrase are the two main types of versions of the Bible. The difference between the two being that Bible translation aims at converting the original language ( Greek, Hebrew and Aramaic) into another language like English as accurately as possible where word…

Great summary! Bible translation has been such a blessing throughout church history.

Great, this provides a clear insight as opposed to the tradition where we read Bibles as a normal text. Thus converting the original language ( Greek, Hebrew and Aramaic) into another language like English as accurately as possible provides a clear insight of what we ought to understand with regard to the author’s intention

MODULE 6: Blessing for the Next Generation
SESSION 25: A Heroine From the Non-Chosen Family
Genesis 22:20-24 is a hinge between major sections of the Avraham story, both concluding the previous section and pointing forward to the next. Rivqah (Rebekah) introduces the pattern of heroines of the faith from non-chosen families, which…

Africa Activity 8 months agoCHAPTER TWO: THE BOOKS OF THE BIBLE
Out of the many things I learnt in this chapter what impacted me most are the successful Bible reading plans which include daily reading, selective reading, prayerful reading and systematic reading. My major comment is on systematic reading which is the reading of the entire Bible in one year following…

Surely, setting the time in a day to read the Bible and in case you miss a day keep going and try to catch up is very important. That means developing a pattern on that makes perfection.

Thank you for sharing, Edittah!
There is always the temptation to read a portion of the Bible repeatedly and completely ignore the others. Systematic reading is a truly beneficial approach to Bible study.

MODULE 5: SESSION 24: Abraham Surrenders Isaac
Avraham’s test on the mountain mirrors the humans’ test in the garden. But where the man and woman fail, Avraham succeeds. Avraham’s act of total surrender and trust in God is directly attributed to the fear of the Lord. The narrator connects this moment to the later practice of sacrifice in…

MODULE 5: SESSION 23: Abraham’s Ultimate Test
Moriah means “seeing,” and it’s a strong thematic connection to the test in the garden of Eden. The theme of the test in the Bible has two sides: positively, it can be an opportunity to prove loyalty and preparedness; negatively, it can be a temptation or a trap. God commands Avraham to…

MODULE 5: SESSION 22: Abraham’s Covenant with Abimelech
The biblical authors place these two episodes alongside each other, strongly linked with key words and themes, in order to highlight their differences. The family of God can act arrogantly about their chosen status, driving the nations away, or they can, through covenant, reconcile…

CHAPTER ONE
PURPOSE OF THE BIBLE ACCORDING TO 2 CORINTHIANS 3: 16-17
No scripture is more important than the other because all scripture is breathed out by God. One of the fundamental use of scripture is to teach the doctrine on how to live Godly lives. They are also used for reproof where one criticizes him or…

Great summary, Edittah! No scripture is more important than the other.

It is very true, according to 2 Timothy 3:16 (NIV) we are told that “All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness,”
