There a common sense rule of thumb about reading any book and ut applies to Hermeneutics before anny other matter can e considered; The Bible, unlike most books has, more or less 49 Pen Men (secretaries) but is still authored by only one author, Yahova, a.k.a. Creator God.



Let me be rude and turn your head for a momennt. The best thing Man has done to the Letters from YHWH is to divide these letters into chapters and verses. (It better enables point to point study. The worst thing man has done to the Word is he bike the natural flow of these messages (letters) from YHWH.



Now, back on point. These 66 letters were arrainged in the book and I believe they7 were led by Ruach, a.k.a. the Holy Spirit but there are copies sold with the Letters in the order they were written. (ESV Chronological Bible (TruTone, Brown), Leather, imitation)



The second rule to live by is “Take the stupid verses out of your way and it is not difficult to understand that there is no sentence nor portion of a sentence thhat stands alone. It is often taught that no scripture can be fully nor completely understood without the light of all scripture shinning on it. The Holy Scriptures are of one context from “In the Beginning” of Genesis through the very last “Amen” of The Revelation this book is about man’s salvation.

I like the Bible, and there are different translations, which are shown on this graph below.

My favorites are the NIV (top favorite), ESV, NKJV and NRSV-CE. I stay away from the the KJV (17th century English), AMP (excessive commentary) and the paraphrased ones.

I no longer teach because I am not as sharp at 79+ as I was at 47 but my copy, the Halleluja Scriptures, must be obtained with a donation that prints versions thuat are gifted to new Christians in backward societies. The names of the places and people are in Koinne Hebrew, Ancient Hebrew, and Koine Greek. With the Internet there is so much to leard from these real names.

Yes, man`s salvation, which is the means to the end - that Christ be preeminent in all things. That He rules over God`s great kingdom from the third heaven and all other realms. (Col. 1: 16 - 18)

This was your biggest mistake. But it’s a 45 hour talk. Maybe talk to Many here who would discuss in private email with you about it.
I love the NKJV though, as it is the same Bible translation, but is written in 20th century English. :) So, technically, I like the KJV as well, but just the newer version.

Those who want to see themselves as spiritual Israel will definitely prefer the NIV translation of Ephesians 3:6 and Galatians 6:16, compared to the KJV

Well, it does not matter much. I like both NIV and NKJV.

OK, my brother, but I am not Hebrew. God bless, though.
Paul is the best one that explains HOW to study the Bible in 2 Tim 2:15 .

Be diligent to present yourself accepted by God , a workman having no cause for SHAME , RIGHTLY DIVIDINDG the Word

of Truth .
