Join us for an insightful Bible study session from Water, Wind, Wine Ministries as we dive into Proverbs 29:1 and explore the theme of correction. In this broadcast, we unpack the meaning behind "He who is often rebuked and hardens his neck will suddenly be destroyed and that without remedy" from the New King James Version. Discover how biblical interpretation can shift based on translation choices—like the italicized "and"—and why this matters for understanding God's word. We'll discuss how constant rebuke can lead to a harden neck attitude, stifling spiritual growth, and why discernment is key for both givers and receivers of correction. This session challenges common misconceptions about Bible translation and offers practical wisdom for applying scripture in everyday life. Whether you're new to faith or seeking deeper insight, this message will inspire you to reflect on correction's role in your spiritual journey. Subscribe for more transformative teachings!

Today I welcome back to the program Al Fadi and Amy McClintock, with the Strategic Resource Group, an organization that funds projects to reach unreached people groups in the Middle East and North Africa, the so-called MENA region of the world. Both Amy and Al have been on the program before to discuss a bible translation project for Hejazi speaking people. This is an Arabic language spoken by more than 11 million people. More than three years ago, I started reporting on a new initiative by the Strategic Resource Group that – if successful – could have a dramatic impact on the way we do Bible translation. They are using a so-called Translation Service Provider – an organization that normally translates contracts, treaties, movie scripts, books, and all manner of other material – to translate the Bible. I wrote my first article about this process in August of 2021. But one aspect of this project that is different from those undertaken by traditional Bible translation organizations is the remarkable degree of transparency SRG has shown to me in the process. Since this project began, I have been checking in with them every six months to get updates, and to hear lessons learned.  And that's what we are doing today. The very fact that Al and Amy and SRG are allowing me to have these regular check-ins is dramatically different from the way the Bible translation industry normally operates.  It's an industry cloaked in secrecy and layers of bureaucracy.  In fact, for the past four years or so, I've written about 50 articles on the industry and its practices, and I'll have links to some of those articles in today's show notes. I encourage you to check them out:  https://ministrywatch.com/bible-translations/

In this solo episode of First Baptist Church of Big Spring Podcast, Brandon takes a deep dive into one of the most significant verses in Scripture—John 1:1. While most English translations affirm the deity of Christ, the New World Translation (NWT) takes a drastically different approach. Why does the NWT say, "the Word was a god," and how does that compare to the original Greek and trusted Bible translations?Join Brandon as he unpacks the theology and linguistic evidence behind this key verse. We'll explore why the traditional rendering—"the Word was God"—is not just a minor difference but a crucial truth about Jesus' divine nature.

It is a Greek translation of the Hebrew Bible (before Christ and the NT). 72 translators (6 from each tribe of Israel), translated at the request of the King in Alexandria. The name was eventually shortened from 72, to just 70. Septuagint is Latin for 70.15:47 - Latin Vulgate (VUL 404 AD)Eusebius Sophronius Hieronymusin aka “Jerome” was a student of languages. He was charged by Pope Damasus to complete a translation of the OT and NT into the “common tongue.” Name: Vulgate “common or commonly known.”17:18 - Wycliffe Bible (WYC - 1382)John Wycliffe was an Oxford theologian who wanted the English people to have a Bible in their own language. Wycliffe's Bible was done by hand. It is a word-for-word translation of the Latin Vulgate. Wycliffe was heavily criticized by the Church of Rome as well as the Church of England because he taught that salvation was only available through the suffering of Christ, not through the power of the church. Wycliffe was called “The Morning Star of the Reformation.” In 1415, John Wycliffe was condemned as a heretic and in 1428 (44 years after Wycliffe's death) the Bishop of England ordered Wycliffe's remains exhumed and burned and the ashes thrown into the river.22:31 - Gutenberg Bible (1455) 1450 - Johann Gutenberg invented the Gutenberg press23:18 - The Protestant Reformation.

What if the roots of your faith and government were intertwined with ancient pagan practices? Brandon Kroll, host of the Manna Daily Podcast, joins Craig for a mind-bending exploration of faith, government, and hidden truths. This episode is packed with thought-provoking ideas that might ruffle some feathers, but isn't that what we're here for? To challenge the status quo and rediscover what it truly means to follow Christ in a world that often pulls us in the opposite direction. Brandon shares his journey as a contrarian, questioning authority and seeking deeper truths. His experiences during the 2020 election and the pandemic led him to scrutinize traditional practices and launch his own podcast.  Here are 4 key takeaways from our conversation with Brandon: Traditions of Men: Brandon unpacks the biblical phrase "traditions of men" and its connection to Kabbalah, revealing surprising links to modern practices. Government as Mind Control: We explore the etymology of "government" and its implications for how we view authority and power structures. Occult Influences: Uncover the connections between modern institutions and ancient practices, from Kabbalah to the symbolism of Christmas trees. Christian Identity: Brandon's bold assertion that one cannot be both a patriot and a saint challenges listeners to reconsider their loyalties. This episode is a wake-up call for Christians seeking a deeper understanding of their faith and its relationship to worldly powers. Brandon's insights on occult influences and biblical interpretation will leave you questioning everything you thought you knew. Don't miss this one, folks. It's a journey down the rabbit hole that just might change how you view your faith and the world around you. Whether you agree or disagree, this conversation is sure to spark deep reflection and discussion. Connect with Brandon Kroll: Manna Daily Podcast Youtube Manna Daily Podcast Spotify

In the second episode, Dr. Mimi Haddad meets with Rev. Dr. Aída Besançon Spencer to explore key ways Scripture goes against the grain of culture. While some scholars uphold Bible cultural as the moral standard, Aída encouraged readers to begin in the New Testament. For example, in the story of Martha and Mary (Luke 10:38-42), Martha was anxious that Mary would help her serve the disciples a meal. But Jesus said, “Martha, Martha … You are worried and upset about many things, but few things are needed—or indeed only one. Mary has chosen what is better, and it will not be taken away from her.” Jesus reversed women's priorities from domestic spheres to theological spheres: learn God's truth. Paul also said, in 1 Tim 2:11, “A woman should learn in quietness (silence) and full submission.” Insisting on women's silence was/is a to call women to learn as the theological scholars (Rabbis) did at the time of Christ, in silence—with rapt focus. Aída believes we need more scholarly reflection on women and silence in Scripture.     Aída ends with a warning to always view people as created in God's image and considers passages also embrace the shared dignity and agency of women. Reflecting on the marginalization for Native Americans who were accused of and punished for alleged idol worship, by white colonizes who believed they were given the US given as theocracy, Aída and her husband William David Spencer address both topic in a powerful article titled, Calling on God or Colonial Oppression.     Aída addresses the leadership of women in the early church, with a focus on context. Whereas women's leadership in Ephesus was different from women in other contexts, like women planting churches like Lydia in Greece.     Aída ends by reflecting on Helen Barrett Montgomery (1861-1934) was elected the first president of national Woman's American Baptist Foreign Mission Society. She was also elected the first president (and woman) of an American denomination, the Northern Baptist Convention in 1920. She's also the first woman to translate the New Testament in 1924. Her translation of Roman 16:1-3—interpreted Pheobe as a “minister” and “overseer,” yet it has taken so very long for other translators to see the same biblical truth (in 1843).

Brendan Kennedy is the chief editor and translator of the Readable Bible. We discuss the process of translating the Bible and we look at specific verses, including Deut. 32.8 and Ps. 82.1 and how they relate to the divine council.

In this episode, Kim talks to Dr. Boaz Johnson about the Indian scholar and activist Pandita Ramabai. Through this interview we hear both about Dr. Johnson's own background growing up in India and how the writings of Pandita Ramabai influenced his own faith. As the interview unfolds, we follow the progression of Ramabai's own life from being an orphaned Hindu whose father secretly taught her the Hindu religious scriptures to becoming a Christian challenging and re-translating the poor bible translations. Always a rule breaker, Pandita Ramabai left a legacy of how to stand for the truth of God's word.      Guest Bio   Rev.

Davis Powell, CEO of Seed Company, was raised in a Christian home in North Carolina and at a young age, decided to become a medical missionary. However, in his junior year of medical school, he felt led by the Spirit to follow a different path. Through a series of providential events, Davis was exposed to the work of Bible translation and a passion was ignited within him.    Davis now serves as the CEO of Seed Company, a Bible translation company with two primary focuses—collaboration with other Great Commission organizations and impact acceleration with the help of indigenous community leaders and technology. Davis was full of stories about how fast the work of Bible translation is moving, with a particular emphasis on the brand new integration of AI into the process. You won't want to miss this one!   Major Topics Include: The history and heart behind Seed Company How Bible translation models have changed in recent years The challenge of engaging hard-to-reach language communities Empowering indigenous communities to work together toward full Bible translation Working with indigenous speakers to tailor the process for their community context A walk through of the cyclical, community-centric translation process Transformative stories from working with non-believing translators AI as a tool in Bible translation Collaboration with other translation agencies Exciting projections for Bible translation in the next decade QUOTES TO REMEMBER “Missionaries have to deal with borders, the Word of God doesn't. Missionaries have to figure out how to start the church; the Word of God gives the perfect blueprint for starting the church.” “When the Word of God is planted, it transforms everything.” “We can, in our generation, see the Word of God get to every language community. But may it not be said that we didn't let the Word of God be in our heart language.” “Scripture must be clear, accurate, natural, and acceptable.” LINKS FROM THE SHOW Seed Company Young Life Wycliffe Bible Translators (see our interview with CEO John Chesnut) Unto Operation Christmas Child International Mission Board (IMB) Jesus Film Project (see our interview with Executive Director Josh Newell) Faith Comes by Hearing (see our interview with VP Morgan Jackson) Meta–No Language Left Behind IllumiNations Bible Translation Alliance (see our interview with Todd Peterson or John Chesnut) The Finish Line Community Facebook Group The Finish Line Community LinkedIn Group BIBLE REFERENCES FROM THE SHOW Proverbs 3:5-6 | Trust In the Lord   Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and do not lean on your own understanding.

While translations vary, the unchanging truth remains: God's Word is inspired and meant to guide every generation in clarity and reverence.

Why are there so many English Bible versions? Which Bible translations are trustworthy? What are the different methods of Bible translation in terms of word-for-word, thought-for-though, literal, dynamic, etc.?

Author and Pastor Tim Wildsmith joins Michael to discuss his newest book, Bible Translations For Everyone. Links Mentioned: Bible Translations For Everyone by Tim Wildsmith Tim's Youtube Channel To read the show notes, click here.

In the first episode, host Dr. Mimi Haddad meets with Rev. Dr. Aída Besançon Spencer to discuss Bible translation. Aída considers the different goals of translation teams from translations focused on a word for word translation; to meaning for meaning; to thought for thought and those that are a paraphrase. Each translation team from the NRSV, to the NIV, KJV and the ESV elevate their priorities in ways that are often helpful. In addressing the complexities of Bible translation, Aída gave the following helpful insight. She said:  Translators are caught between rendering Form vs. meaning. A “formal translation”/formal-equivalence/literal/word for word/linguistic= Translation tries to preserve form (syntax and sentence structure) of the original to convey meaning. The emphasis is the original text, E.g. NRSV, NAS. It Allows the reader to interpret.  A “dynamic-equivalence”/functional-equivalence/cultural =Translation expresses the original meaning in the natural form of the receptor language. The receptor language is emphasized. Translators seek equivalence in meaning or thought for thought translation, E.g., TEV, NEB. It does more interpretation for readers.  A “paraphrase”=A freely rendered restatement (of another translation) of the author's thoughts in different words. But it is not a commentary, e.g. Living Bible, The Message.    Aída cited those who contribute to the ESV team, noting their commitment to male-authority. She also expressed her preference for the NRSV assessing how the different translations render the crucial text 1 Tim 2:4–5—as it explains the work of Christ. She said:  “who desires all people (anthrōpōs) to be saved and to come to the knowledge of the truth. 5 For there is one God, and there is one mediator between God and men (anthrōpōs), the man (anthrōpōs) Christ Jesus,” ESV “who wants all people to be saved and to come to a knowledge of the truth. 5 For there is one God and one mediator between God and mankind, the man Christ Jesus,” NIV “who wants all people to be saved and to come to the knowledge of the truth. 5 For there is one God, and one mediator also between God and mankind, the man Christ Jesus, (NASB) “Who will have all men to be saved, and to come unto the knowledge of the truth. For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus” (KJV) “who desires everyone to be saved and to come to the knowledge of the truth. 5 For there is one God; there is also one mediator between God and humankind, Christ Jesus, himself human, (NRSVupdated)+ CEB “God wants everyone to be saved and to know the whole truth, which is, There is only one God, and Christ Jesus is the only one who can bring us to God. Jesus was truly human. (CEV)-a dynamic equivalent “Our Creator longs to set all people free and guide them into the full understanding of the truth. For there is only one Great Spirit, and only one who can bring the Great Spirit and human beings together in peace. That one is Creator Sets Free (Jesus) the Chosen One, who is himself human.” (First Nations Version) “Our Savior God wants all humans to be saved and to come into knowledge of truth. For God is one, one is also a mediator between God and humans, human Christ Jesus, the One having given himself as a ransom on behalf of all” (ABS). 1 Timothy NCCS ABS 48-51  For clarity on confusing passages that seem to diminish the dignity, value and agency of women or minorities, Aída recommends Bible translation teams comprised of men and women who do not unite in their preference for male-leadership as the ESV translation team does. Aída also celebrated the diversity of opinion on the NIV translation team which is led by expert Bible translators who differ on their view on women's leadership. It's always better to move beyond a single narrative on key issues.  Aída discussed the NT and OT texts that challenge 3 New Testament passages (1 Tim. 2:11-15; Eph. 5:21-23) which routinely eclipse the many passages that demonstrate women's leadership, like Acts 2:2-21; Gal. 3:28 and passages that demonstrate the leadership of Huldah and Deborah.     Aída ends by emphasizing the oneness of man and woman, cited in Genesis 1:26-30 as both were called to rule over the world together, in a world without sin. Paul picks this up in Galatians 3:28, we are clothed in Christ—a purple robe, our true identity.  In considering marriage, specifically in Eph. 5. Aída explained that Ephesians 5:18-21 is one sentence in Greek, with 2 main ideas:  “And do not get yourself intoxicated with an intoxicating substance, in which is wild living, but be filled with the Spirit.  What does it mean to be filled with the Spirit?  Paul then uses 5 participles to describe what it means to be filled with the Spirit:  “speaking to one another in psalm and hymns and spiritual songs,  Singing  Making melody in your heart to the Lord  Thanking always for all in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ to Father- God  Submitting yourselves to one another in fear/respect of Christ.”  Verse 22 has no verb in the best Greek manuscripts: “the women…to own husbands as to the Lord…”  Aída will return next month to address Bible translation as it has been used to further abuse and ethnic prejudice rather than human flourishing.    Guest Bio  Rev.

Should Bible translations use gender-inclusive language? What are the pros and cons of gender-inclusive Bible translations?

GOD WANTS you to hear His voice even more than YOU DESIRE to hear it. Romans 12:2 Then you will learn to know God's will for you, which is good and pleasing and perfect. We often allow the NOISE of this world to deafen the VOICE of God. Is God's voice the LOUDEST voice in your life? The CLEAREST way to hear from God is by getting into GOD'S WORD. 2 Timothy 3:16-17 MSG Every part of Scripture is God-breathed and useful one way or another—showing us truth, exposing our rebellion, correcting our mistakes, training us to live God's way. Through the Word we are put together and shaped up for the tasks that God has for us. Why is God's word the clearest way to hear God's voice? 2 Timothy 3:16 MSG Every part of Scripture is God-breathed… 1. It's “GOD-BREATHED” = Literally God's VOICE to you. THEOPNEUSTOS Combination of 2 Greek words: Theo = “God” + pneustos = “breath” God's WILL never contradicts God's WORD. 2. It's USEFUL and your source of TRUTH. 2 Timothy 3:16 MSG Every part of Scripture is God-breathed and useful one way or another 2 Timothy 3:16-17a Every part of Scripture is God-breathed and useful one way or another Showing us TRUTH Exposing our REBELLION Correcting our MISTAKES Training us to live GOD'S WAY. Isaiah 55:8 “For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways,” declares the Lord. Our NATURAL INTUITION rarely aligns with GOD'S INTENTION. Acts 20:35b Jesus himself said: ‘It is more blessed to give than to receive.' 2 Timothy 3:16-17 MSG Every part of Scripture is God-breathed and useful one way or another—showing us truth, exposing our rebellion, correcting our mistakes, training us to live God's way. Through the Word we are put together and shaped up for the tasks that God has for us. 3. It shapes us and equips us for our FUTURE. 2 Timothy 3:17 NIV …so that the servant of God may be thoroughly equipped for every good work. Psalm 119:105 Your word is a lamp to my feet and a light to my path. God's word won't tell you EVERY step, but it will give you your NEXT step. How to ENGAGE God's Word so You Can HEAR God's Voice: 1. Choose a BIBLE TRANSLATION you can understand. Mother, I am hungry “Henceforth, let it be know unto thee, birth giver, that thine belly is emptiness.” Recommend: NIV, NLT or ESV LIFE APPLICATION STUDY BIBLE Picture of the Page with Scripture up top and notes below 2. Choose a consistent TIME and PLACE. 3. Choose a BIBLE READING plan. Picture of YouVersion App New believer—Introduction to the Christian Faith Intermediate—Luke & Acts Advanced—One Story that Leads to Jesus 4. Read slowly and seek to UNDERSTAND. 5. Pray and ask God to show you one thing to APPLY. The CLEAREST way to hear from God is by getting into GOD'S WORD.
