New Translation of Jesus' Teaching

The book Authentic Teaching of Jesus according to Holy Wind Living Breath has been published. This is the first book to incorporate the new translation of Holy Wind Living Breath New Testament. It contains all of the major teaching passages of Jesus as found in the Book of Matthew. All of the posts in this blog are based on passages taken from Authentic Teaching of Jesus. It may be ordered by selecting the link under "For further study." It can also be ordered from Quaker Books or from your local bookstore.

What If?

What if Jesus' view of God was bigger than ours? What if we've missed some of the emphasis on divine immanence in Jesus' teaching?

What if Jesus' use of TELOS in the passages like Matthew 24 has more to do with "maturity" than with the "end"? What if we have, at least in part, misapprehended his emphasis on a grown-up society (rather than one about to 'end')?

What if the common phrase, in Matthew, "Kingdom of Heaven" is better translated as "realm of upward vision"? What if Jesus call for a new order of existence, of a higher aspiration for our human life, is what he is really "getting at" in his teaching?

And more...

What if the primary 'demon' of human society is literally "teaching that belittles"? What if 'prayer' is more accurately "to hold toward (or in) well-being"? What if Jesus did address LGBT concerns and recognized "other-gender persons" as part of the new realm?

There is a need to hear Jesus in as authentic a way as possible. Much of that hearing has to do with us. And some has to do with fresh and very literal translation. And, so you will read, in this blog, from a translation called Holy Wind Living Breath New Testament.
