SynopsisMy philosophy in doing the Mirror Bible is reflected in the following example: I do not read music, but have often witnessed our son, Stefan, approach a new piece on the piano. His eyes see so much more than mere marks scribbled on a page; he hears the music. His trained mind engages even the subtleties and the nuances of the original composition, and is able to repeat the authentic sound, knowing that the destiny of the music would never be reduced to the page; but is always in the next moment, where the same intended beauty is heard and repeated again The best translation would always be the incarnation I so value the enormity of the revelation of the incarnation. Yet, before flesh, the Word was π�ος face to face with God And fragile text scribbled thru the ages in memoirs of stone, parchment and papyrus pages - carrying eternity in thought and continues to translate faith to faith Now we have the same spirit of faith as he encountered when he wrote... "I believe and so I speak " Conversation ignites "Did not our hearts burn within our being when He spoke familiar text of ancient times, in the voices of Moses and the prophets and David and Abraham, who saw his day and announced its dawn in our hearts The mystery that was hidden for ages and generations is now revealed In dealing daily with ancient text, rediscovering thoughts buried in time, I am often overwhelmed and awed at the magnificence of eternity captured in little time capsules, opening vistas of beauty beyond our imagination- face to face with the same face to faceness of the Logos and God and us - conceived in their dream And irresistibly intrigued by the invitation to come and drink - to taste and see - from the source - and to hear a saint reminiscing and reminding himself of the utterance of another earth dweller-brother, David, who wrote a song 1000 years ago, "Return to your rest, oh my soul For the Lord has dealt bountifully with you I believe and so I speak " And with fresh wounds bleeding from the many angry blows he was dealt with, Paul echoes, "We have the same spirit of faith as he had who wrote, 'I believe and so I speak ' We too believe and so we speak " Let's celebrate the "sameness" of Jesus yesterday - yes, as far as history and beyond time can go - and today This very finite, fragile moment - plus, the infinite future Inexhaustible, beyond boundaries and the confines of space and time, People who have stopped reading the Bible or never even read it before say about The Mirror, "I have never read anything that touched me so deeply, it is a brand new Bible, I cannot wait to give it to all my friends " The Mirror Bible is a paraphrase from the original Greek text. While the detailed shades of meaning of every Greek word have been closely studied, this is done taking into account the consistent context of the entire chapter within the wider epistle, and bearing in mind the full context of Jesus as the revealer and redeemer of the image and likeness of the invisible God in human form, which is what the message of the Bible is all about. To assist the reader in their study, I have numerically superscripted the Greek word and corresponded it with the closest English word in the italicized commentary that follows. This is to create a direct comparison of words between the two languages. Many words used in previous translations have adopted meanings in time that distract from the original thought. Individual words can greatly influence the interpretation of any conversation. For years deliberate as well as oblivious errors in translations were repeated and have empowered the religious institutions of the day to influence, manipulate and even abuse masses of people. Consider the word metanoia, consisting of two components, meta, together with, and nous, mind, suggesting a radical mind shift. This word has always been translated as "repentance," which is an old English word borrowed from the Latin word, penance. Then they added the "re" to get even more mileage out of sin consciousness. Re-penance. This gross deception led to the perverted doctrines of indulgences, where naive, ignorant people were led to believe that they needed to purchase favor from an angry god. Most cathedrals as well as many ministries were funded with guilt money. The Bible is a dangerous book It has confused and divided more people than any other document. Scriptures have been used to justify some of the greatest atrocities in human history. People were tortured, burned to death and multitudes murdered based on somebody's understanding of the scriptures Jesus, Paul and believers throughout the ages faced their greatest opposition from those who knew the scriptures. If it is such a dangerous document, how does one approach the book? The Mirror unveils the Incarnation Code as the key that unlocks the mystery message of scripture. The romance of the ages is revealed here.

  • Simply Put, It's the Truth

    Every Christian - and ultimately every person - should know the truth of God's word about them. Directly from the original Greek, Paul's revelation from Christ is given to us in a way that the king's court simply could not (or would not, debatable). We know that scripture tells us that "we are seated with Him in heavenly places", and "as He is, so are we in this world", but do we realize that the heart of God is firmly behind this purpose for us, and when He looks at His Son Christ, He is looking at you? No Christian should walk one step further on their journey without securing a copy of the Mirror Bible - not for profit for the seller, but for the glory of their Savoir and to know who they really are.
