Read Rescuca and get Paid, no seriously

I haven't posted on this blog for a while but just recently my good friend wrote his first book. It is called Rescuca: Savior of The Realm.

A Good Bible

Just recently I was introduced to The Companion Bible. It was giving to me by a very nice lady at my job. I never even heard of this Bible before she showed it to me.

It is interesting how God works in our lives. I have no idea why God still has me working at this job. I really starting disliking this job. However. the nice lady and I started talking. As we were talking I found out she is a believer also and she introduced me to this Bible. It is a King James Version, but don't let that turn you off. The author, Ethelbert William Bullinger does a good job a describing the Hebrew and Greek words.

Bible Helpers


Here are a few things to help you study and understand your Bible better.

The first thing you should do is, to buy a Bible; there are lots to choose from.
When choosing a Bible I recommend going to an actual book store that sells Bibles, instead of going online to buy a Bible from Amazon(even though it is easier) so you can take the time to look at each Bible and a translation to see if you like it and can understand what you are reading.

Here are some different Bibles translations. 
Examples of Translations:

            English Translations:
(KJV) or King James Version is the Grandfather of all Bibles dating back to 1611. It reads like one of Shakespeare’s plays “To read the King James or not to read the King James Bible that is the question” This is a more literal translation

(NKJV) or New King James Version is the new and improved King James Bible. A cleaned up version with Shakespeare left back stage “Sorry Shakespeare we got a new guy to write the play” Similar to the KJV with updated language. It is still literal but much easier to read

(NLT) or New Living Translation is a more contemporary version.

(NIV) or New International Version

(ASV) or American Standard Version

Amplified Bible has more vocabulary in the passages to help you better understand the meaning of what each passage is trying to say. I couldn’t get myself to like this Bible. When I read it I get a traffic jam of words before the thought is finished.  Let me give you and example and you decide if you like it or not.  
This is in John 1:14
And the Word (Christ) became flesh (human, incarnate) and tabernacled (fixed His tent of flesh, lived awhile) among us; and we [actually] saw His glory (His honor, His majesty), such glory as an only begotten son receives from his father, full of grace (favor, loving-kindness) and truth.

The Message uses modern day language or slang “Yo bro, I gots a message for ya” this is a paraphrase of the Bible

Yong’s Literal Translation is like the King James but with the “past” taken out. “Yong’s Literal is a great Bible” hint, hint.  ; )
                         
                        There Are Many Study Bibles as well
                          
                        The Bible In Other Languages
                        Even if you don't read English there is hope. The Bible is translated entirely in 438
                        languages, partially in 2,454 out of 4,500

There are also Bible Dictionaries that have biblical words from A to Z in Scripture.

Here are some examples of Bible Dictionaries:
Tyndale Bible Dictionary  Remember him he was the guy who got burned at the stake for translating the Bible into English.
           


















The New Bible Dictionary: Third Edition This one is my personal favorite

            















Here is a sample

            ABADDON. The satanic angel of the bottomless pit (Rev. 9:11) whose Greek name is
given as Apollyon, ‘destroyer’. In Hebrew ’aḇaddôn means ‘(place of) destruction’, and
in the OT it is used as a synonym of *DEATH and Sheol. (*HELL).
                                                                                                                            J. D. DOUGLAS.

Holman Illustrated Bible Dictionary This one has lots of pictures to illustrated the meaning of the word



















Like Bible Dictionaries Concordances help you find the meaning of the words in Hebrew and Greek the most popular Concordance is Strong’s using The King James Bible


















Instead of giving the definition of a word. A concordance shows you where the word shows up in every passage. Next to the verse the book shows you the corresponding number either in the Hebrew or the Greek Dictionary-index which is located in the back of the book.

The Internet has sites to navigate through the Bible much quicker then using your thumbs.

Know Your Bible

Bible Statistics

The next figure shows the size (Number of Chapters) of each book in the Bible.

Psalm Dominates The Old Testament With 150 Chapters. 
David must of had a lot on his mind


The Old Testament Has Three Main Parts.

 Note: Books are not in order


                  Now we move on to the New Testament


Matthew and Acts both have 28 chapters but Matthew only has 20 verses in chapter 28 while Acts has 31 Verses, making it the longest book in the New Testament. 

The New Testament Has 5 Main Parts

Note: Books are not in order

Side Fact:
     Testament means a covenant instituted between God and man, esp the covenant of Moses or that instituted by Christ. It came from the Latin word testāmentum.
So you could say "The Old Covenant" and "The New Covenant."

Perserver In The Face Of Adversity

The story of the tortoise (turtle) and hare (rabbit) is one of the most told to children because it is such a great story. It goes something like this
  
Once upon a time there was a hare who, boasting how he could run faster than anyone else, was forever teasing tortoise for its slowness. Then one day, the irate tortoise answered back: “Who do you think you are? There’s no denying you’re swift, but even you can be beaten!” The hare squealed with laughter.
“Beaten in a race? By whom? Not you, surely! I bet there’s nobody in the world that can win against me, I’m so speedy. Now, why don’t you try?”

Annoyed by such bragging, the tortoise accepted the challenge. A course was planned, and the next day at dawn they stood at the starting line. The hare yawned sleepily as the meek tortoise trudged slowly off. When the hare saw how painfully slow his rival was, he decided, half asleep on his feet, to have a quick nap. “Take your time!” he said. “I’ll have forty winks and catch up with you in a minute.”

The hare woke with a start from a fitful sleep and gazed round, looking for the tortoise. But the creature was only a short distance away, having barely covered a third of the course. Breathing a sigh of relief, the hare decided he might as well have breakfast too, and off he went to munch some cabbages he had noticed in a nearby field. But the heavy meal and the hot sun made his eyelids droop. With a careless glance at the tortoise, now halfway along the course, he decided to have another snooze before flashing past the winning post. And smiling at the thought of the look on the tortoise’s face when it saw the hare speed by, he fell fast asleep and was soon snoring happily. The sun started to sink, below the horizon, and the tortoise, who had been plodding towards the winning post since morning, was scarcely a yard from the finish. At that very point, the hare woke with a jolt. He could see the tortoise a speck in the distance and away he dashed. He leapt and bounded at a great rate, his tongue lolling, and gasping for breath. Just a little more and he’d be first at the finish. But the hare’s last leap was just too late, for the tortoise had beaten him to the winning post. Poor hare! Tired and in disgrace, he slumped down beside the tortoise who was silently smiling at him.
“Slowly does it every time!” he said. THE END

I love this story because the turtle knew his limitations but because he persevered he won the race. Sometimes certain situations in your life seem hard and impossible. Jesus had to do the impossible for all of mankind he had to die losing the battle so it seemed but in the end he won overcoming death and winning the race not just for himself but for you and me too. If you believe in Jesus you can have overwhelming victory in your life, marriage, relationships, job, work, everything. It even says it in the bible 
Roman 8:37 No, despite all these things, overwhelming victory is ours through Christ, who loved us. (NLT)
So keep going, never give up, finish well and victory will be yours, In Jesus Name!

To Clarify Revelation 22:18-19

Hello again Everyone,
In one of our earlier shows someone came on and started discussing about Revelation 22:18-19
Here is the verses:
     18 And I solemnly declare to everyone who hears the words of prophecy written in this book: If anyone adds anything to what is written here, God will add to that person the plagues described in this book. 19 And if anyone removes any of the words from this book of prophecy, God will remove that person’s share in the tree of life and in the holy city that are described in this book. (NLT)

I believe this is one of the most misunderstood verses in the Bible.
