Again, I get the feeling you read everything BUT Scripture. Go to the original source....................

Feelings can be helpful sometimes, other times not so much.

Which Scripture do you recommend? Which translation? I have several myself, including a parallel Bible, and no two are exactly alike.

What is alike is that each person thinks theirs is the only translation that is the real truth and then the fight is on over details and meanings and who is "right". Lol...

What makes the messages so interesting to me, is that they make the claim that they are from the original Source(s). Not something transported over thousands of years and through multiple translations, but right here, right now, in our language and times in this critical hour.

I've not yet finished reading TLIG and sorting through all of the Scripture it quotes and the questions it raises within me.

However, from the changes within me and my point of view so far, along with my growing understanding of the world around me and how God works, I tend to feel and believe that the messages in TLIG are as they claim.

Just my humble opinion...

Feelings are almost useless. Emotions can lie to you.

That's not true.

I don't know of anyone on this board who says that only their translation is THE Truth.

There are some that are better than others, but if you have parallel translations, they you can clearly see that the subtle differences in words are not really significant.

I prefer the English Standard Version. The ESV. It's easy to read and is not written at an 8th grade level.

Most of the translations available are translated from the original source documents. If they're not, you ought to avoid them as doing translations of translations passed down through thousands of years, are very subject to error.

The important point is to get INTO the word and pray that God would direct your reading and open your eyes to the truth contained therein.

And it points to Jesus. He's what it's all about.
