    The Reel Review: The Challenges of Bible Translations with Jason Hensley

    A @Christadelphians Video: [Inspiring] Have you ever wondered why there are so many different English versions of the Bible? Is it simply a matter of preference, or is there something more profound at work? In this thought-provoking and insightful exposition, we begin a new series exploring the wonderful, yet complex, world of Bible translation. This opening episode tackles the fundamental challenge: we often approach Scripture like a mathematical equation, seeking a single, definitive answer. However, language is far more nuanced and beautiful than that.Join us as we reveal why translation is so complicated and why this reality should inspire humility and a deeper appreciation for God's Word. We'll look at the Hebrew of Genesis 1:1, uncovering hidden details about "the heavens" and the significance of "a beginning." We’ll also explore how comparing different translations can unlock powerful connections, like the revealing link between King Saul and the "pomegranate" in 1 Samuel. This is an outstanding foundation for anyone wanting to understand their Bible on a deeper level.**Chapters:**00:00 - Introduction: Why So Many Versions?01:55 - The Core Message: Translation is Complicated04:29 - The Big Idea: Math vs. Language08:07 - Why "I Have Hunger" Doesn't Work10:40 - Genesis 1:1: A Case Study in Complexity15:46 - The Mystery of the "Two Heavens"17:09 - "In a Beginning": The Grammar of Genesis 124:51 - A Translation is a Commentary26:51 - Wisdom from the King James Translators30:45 - The Advantage of Multiple Translations: King Saul's Pomegranate35:25 - Looking Ahead: Translation Philosophy36:53 - Conclusion**Bible Verses:**📖 Genesis 1:1📖 John 1:1📖 Jeremiah 4:23📖 Judges 20:47📖 1 Samuel 14:2**Tags:**Bible translation, why so many Bible versions, Christadelphian, Bible study, Biblical Hebrew, Genesis 1 explained, translation philosophy, King James Bible, understanding scripture, Bible Standard, Jason Hensley, pomegranate cave, original languages, interpretation, commentaryWe are a Christadelphian team, Brothers and sisters of Christ, and we're passionate about delivering powerful, Scripture-based content to strengthen and inspire your faith journey.

  4. Thought for March 12th. “BEAR FRUITS IN KEEPING WITH … “

    1 DAY AGO

    Thought for March 12th. “BEAR FRUITS IN KEEPING WITH … “

    Today’s readings.. (Leviticus 20), (Psalm 19:129-176), (Luke 3) What an incredible impact the preaching of John the Baptist had!  We do not realize this at first – but there are clues here and there – look at Acts 18 v.25 and 19 v.3.  Paul comes across those at Ephesus who knew only the baptism of John– a vast distance from the Jordan.   What stood out in our chapter 3 in Luke today was the bluntness of John’s message; it was far from being simply an appeal to love your neighbour as yourself – which is the substance of the preaching in many churches today.  They had to examine themselves and change their ways and “bear fruits in keeping with repentence” – to put it bluntly, to show they were repentant by actions – not just words.  Many had a certain pride in being children of Abraham – some today feel they can at least say, ‘I have a Bible in my house – and I read it – sometimes.’  John was the one sent to “prepare the way of the Lord” [v.4] of whom Isaiah (40 v.3-5) had prophesied.  John detailed what the Lord, the Messiah, was to accomplish  What he did not realize, in common with everyone else, was that the Messiah would have to come twice!  Only part of what John preached was accomplished by Jesus – the rest awaits the Messiah’s now imminent second coming – and how awesome are the words that apply to that coming!   “His winnowing fork (used in harvesting) is in his hands to clear his threshing floor, and to gather the wheat into his barn, but the chaff he will burn with unquenchable fire.” [v.17] Chaff are ears of wheat that are useless, they have failed to produce; how much chaff can God see in the world today!!   Let us make sure we are not among the chaff!  Let us all “bear good fruit” for John also preached, “Every tree therefore that does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire.”[v.9]  Bearing good fruit should – indeed – must be – a labour of love for our Lord – before the harvest time occurs.  What wonders then follow!

  5. Thought for March 11th. “MY SOUL LONGS FOR … “

    2 DAYS AGO

    Thought for March 11th. “MY SOUL LONGS FOR … “

    Today’s readings.. (Leviticus 19), (Psalm 19:81-128), (Luke 2) These are the first words in our Psalms reading; what does your soul long for, is it the same as the Psalmist?  We read, “My soul longs for your salvation; I hope in your word.  My eyes long for your promise …” (Ps.119 v.81,82) There is real urgency in his expressions – do we share that sense of urgency? Then we come to 3 extra-special verses (v.97-99) it would be good to memorize.  They start, “O how love I your law! It is my meditation all the day; your commandment makes me wiser than my enemies, for it is ever with me.  I have more understanding than all my teachers, for your testimonies are my meditation.”  God’s law is to be loved, to be meditated upon – and the result of doing this, the Psalmist says, “I hold back my feet from every evil way in order to keep your word.” [v.101]  His next thoughts are, “ … you have taught me.  How sweet are your words to my taste, sweeter than honey to my mouth … therefore I hate every false way.”  The Psalmist continues, “Your testimonies are my heritage forever, for they are the joy of my heart.” [v.111]         The “law” that the Israelites were expected to “love” was no set of ‘thou shalt not’s.   Jesus found them “sweet” and as we read Luke ch. 2 we pondered the conversation that the 12 year old Jesus had in the temple – where Mary and Joseph eventually found him “sitting among the teachers … asking them questions.  And all who heard him were amazed at his understanding and his answers.” [v.46,47] The chapter concludes in this lovely way, “And Jesus increased in wisdom and in stature (or years) and in favour with God and man.” May we all do the same, although it is becoming increasingly difficult to increase in favour with our fellow humans because of the great God-less state of the world that is now around us, but this will lead us to say with greater and greater fervency and meaning, “My soul longs for your salvation.”

  6. Thought for March 10th. “SERVE HIM WITHOUT FEAR”

    3 DAYS AGO

    Thought for March 10th. “SERVE HIM WITHOUT FEAR”

    Today’s readings.. (Leviticus 17,18), (Psalm 19:41-80), (Luke 1)  These words are taken from the inspired speech of Zechariah, the father of John the Baptist.  Because he did not believe the angel who appeared to him in the Temple he had been made dumb, then when the child is born and there is pressure to call him Zechariah, the father’s “tongue is loosed and he spoke blessing God.  And fear came upon all their neighbours” [Luke 1 v.65]  The sense of ‘fear’ does not mean being scared or afraid, but to be in awe. Today’s chapter then tells us that “Zechariah was filled with the Holy Spirit and prophesied …” [v.67]  It is a prophecy about the coming task of his newborn son “who will be called the prophet of the Most High; for you will go before the Lord to prepare his ways” [v.76] Compared to human expectations God’s time frame for action  is exceedingly slow: it had been some 400 years since God had sent the last prophet (Malachi) to his nation, but, as Zechariah now says, “the Lord God … spoke by the mouth of his holy prophets from of old, that we should be saved from our enemies and from the hand of all who hate us …” [v.70,71] Because they rejected his Son, God delayed the fulfilment of this – to our days – but “time” from God’s perspective is so different; but isn’t it remarkable the deliverance that the re-born nation of Israel has experienced since 1948 in being “saved … from the hand of all who hate (them)”!! Deliverance needs to be assessed from several perspectives; there is deliverance from fear of evil men and deliverance from sin and death  John and then Jesus came to “give light to those who sit in darkness and in the shadow of death, to guide our feet into the way of peace.” [v.79]  How clearly are we seeing the “light” and letting it “guide our feet”?   There are so many traps these days as to where we can put our “feet” – in a spiritual sense of course. How many appreciated the “light”  they were seeing in the words of John and Jesus?  They all stumbled and fell.  By his grace, those with genuine hearts were pulled to their feet again.  May we have genuine hearts and clearly see the light, only then can we “serve him without fear.” .

  8. Thought for March 8th. “IF YOU ACCEPT A DIFFERENT GOSPEL”

    5 DAYS AGO

    Thought for March 8th. “IF YOU ACCEPT A DIFFERENT GOSPEL”

    Today’s readings.. (Leviticus 15), (Psalm 117,118), (2 Corinthians 10,11)  We are now nearing the climax of Paul’s 2nd letter to the Corinthians.  He becomes increasingly blunt in the way he expresses his thoughts:  having carefully reasoned out the true gospel and the need to live a Christ-like life he now bluntly challenges them: he says, “I am afraid that as the serpent deceived Eve by his cunning, your thoughts will be led astray from a pure and sincere devotion to Christ.” [11 v.3] Our awareness of that which is “pure and sincere” is only obtained by our ‘sincere devotion’  to God’s word, leading us to make every effort in keeping our thinking “pure” – as a foundation to maintaining true belief and behavior.  In the next verse Paul rebukes them for their lack of diligence in remaining true to their convictions of belief at their conversion –  “for if someone,” writes Paul, “comes and proclaims another Jesus than the one we proclaimed or if you receive a different spirit from the one you received, or if you accept a different gospel from the one you accepted, you put up with it readily enough.” Paul’s rebuke to them has had its parallels ever since his day.  There are those who “disguise themselves as servants of righteousness,” but says Paul, “Their end will correspond to their deeds” [v.15].        We can see in these verses that it is both “deeds” and believing a “different gospel” that were a problem in Corinth – and this has continued to be a critical problem ever since.  Our constant and diligent reading of God’s word is the best way for us to ensure we are “not led astray” and that we maintain, as with Paul, “the meekness and gentleness of Christ.” [10 v.1]
