lNTRODUCTION: FACTS ABOUT THE Scripture

1. The Holy Scriptures are consistently the world's best seller.

2. The Holy Scriptures are originally written in the Hebrew language according to the eye witnesses of Yeshua's time. The early translations were in Syriac (in Hebrew called Aramit אֲרָמִ֔ית) and Greek. The Apostles were settelers in Galilee and picked up an accent of the Syrians, also called the Samaritans but the Jews did not deal with them. The Jewish language not only according to Flavius Josephus is without any doubt Hebrew and is also called their "native tongue". German Theologans have for a long time discredited this fact, but the Holy Bible tells us to believe the eye witnesses only. There will always be many that speak against something in the bible the proof is the real eye witnesses and not any "title" like Professor or Doctor of something else of a claim or gossip. Keep it like the Apostle Paul [KJV] 2 Corinthians 2:17 For we are not as many, which corrupt the word of God: but as of sincerity, but as of God, in the sight of God speak we in Christ. (corrupt: or, deal deceitfully with)(in Christ: or, of Christ)

The Scripture is the revealation of GOD that has been translated into more languages than any other book. 1 Thessalonians 2:13 For this cause also thank we God without ceasing, because, when you received the word of God which you heard of us, you received it not as the word of men, but as it is in truth, the word of God, which effectually worketh also in you that believe.

3. The Holy Scriptures are the most persecuted text ever. Many tried to destroy it or change it like the Roman Church that collected Hebrew texts and translated them into Greek and Latin trying to dominate with their own language forbidding their followers to read it without a priest. Then they were burning, banning and with other methods trying to get rid of the Hebrew originals. Still the bible found its way into the hearts of many and into their homes, hospitals and other institutions.
Nowadays the Gospels of Matthew, Mark and John are available translated from their original Hebrew language revived by George Howard (not my favourite because of some mistakes) , Hugh J. Schonfield, William Horbury and Justin J. Van Rensburg with a great and holy work.
Still also these texts, as they are from a source of highly blessed Messianic believers that had a 7 fold revelation about the creation according to the prophecy of Enoch, these texts must have a real foundation but only copies are left that are partly from polemical defence of Jews against the catholic church. Actually the messianic believers made Spain rich but the economic collapse of the Spanish empire was great when Isabella de Castillio banned them from Sepharad and España. on the 9th of Av 1492. It is believed that these especially blessed Messianic believers have a lot of documents even from Qumran as they could have been Essenes that fled more than 1400 Years ago from Israel with their faith in Yeshua and spread the Gospel everywhere. (Act 8:1)

For the moment I can recomment the Power New Testament because it takes care of Wordpuns Idioms and other poetry of Hebrew even based on Greek translations it is a must for a Gourmet Soul

4. The Holy Scriptures are the oldest writings in the world since in Qumran the testaments of the Patriarchs were found this get even more interresting.

Adam, Seth, Enos, Kenan, Mahalaleel, Jared, Enoch, Methusalah, Lamech, Noah, Shem all are still kept and still available and are to be translated. More over from this line that kept the holy language these will be translated.

These are Arphaxad, Selah, Eber, Peleg, Reu, Serug, Nahor, Terah, Abraham, Isaak, Jakob, Reuben, Simeon, Levi, Judah, Issachar, Zebulon, Dan, Naphtali, Gad, Asher, Joseph, Benjamin and from those that had the service of the Ark Kohat, Amram and Aaron.

These patriarchs have left their legacy and writings and are in databases in the Bar Ilan Hebrew University of Jerusalem and also in the "Qumran Project" and translators are ready to reveal. If these should be in the canon is not the question because these are "extra biblical historical books" that gives you a better view of the bible. For example we would not expect from a pagan idol worshipper like Terah a holy Spirit inspired writing.

In any case the message of these holy scriptures is fascinating and applicable to modem times. It gives answers to the greatest questions that man asks through generations:

"Where do I came from?',
"Where do I go?",
"Why am I here?"
"Who am I?"

These facts tell us that the Scripture is not an ordinary writing.

THE Scripture - GOD'S WORD FOR MANKIND

1. The Holy Scriptures are God's written revelations to man through the process called inspiration. Many different people wrote the Scripture by the inspiration of the Holy Spirit:

(2Tim 3:16) All Scripture is "God-breathed" 2 Timothy 3:16 (θεόπνευστος --> theopneustos) and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness.

2. The Holy Scriptures have one central theme - Even though the Scripture is made up of 70 books of which 5 are songbooks. Its central theme is: THE GLORY OF GOD and HIS REDEMPTION PLAN FOR MANKIND. This theme is developed through all the Tanakh (Bible) (TaNa Kh is a Messiannic word. It comes from Torah, Nebiim, Ketuvim that is Mose, the Prophets and the Writings) from Mose over Maleachi and even to Revelation.

The Tanakh (Old Testament), tells of GOD's work of raising up a nation through which Yeshua, the Son of GOD the Redeemer will come forth.

The Brit HaDashah (New Testament) tells about the birth, life, ministry,
substitutionary death on the cross and resurrection from the dead of
Yeshua the Messiah, the Son of God the Redeemer.

3. The greatest promise for you in the Holy Scriptures is

John 3:16 - For God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.

The word for believing has the meaning of being faithful. In western style thinking theory is separated from practice but not so in the holy scriptures. Action and Knowledge are not separated in believers terms. You need to perform what you have promised and you need to do what you believe.

If your action based on your believe and is OK then the promise is yours.

To think - that with Jesus is true is not enough the minimum action is to tell it to someone.

THE PURPOSE FOR The Holy Scriptures

1. The main reason why God gave us the Scripture is for us to know what GOD did for us and to give HIM the Glory HE deserves for it: The Scripture shows Yeshua as Creator of Time, Space and Matter and the Heavens and Earth and with many other characters more like a singer and poet a shepherd and a healer until finally HE becomes King of all and the holy scripture teaches the only way of salvation which is: " Through faith in the sinless Blood of Yeshua the Messiah the only begotten son of Elohim (GOD) who was tortured to death on a wooden cross as a sacrifice for the forgiveness of our transgressions!"

(2TIM 3:15) ...you have known the holy Scriptures, which are able to make you wise for salvation through faith in Yeshua the Messiah.

(EPH 2:8) For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith and this not from yourselves, it is the gift of God.

(ROM 3:22-24) This righteousness from God comes through faith in Yeshua the Messiah to all who believe. There is no difference, for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, and are justified freely by his grace through the redemption that came by the Messiah Yeshua.

(ROM 9:30-32) What then shall we say? That the Gentiles, who did not pursue righteousness, have obtained it, a righteousness that is by faith; but Israel, who pursued a law of righteousness, has not attained it. Why not? Because they pursued it not by faith but as if it were by works. They stumbled over the "stumbling stone."

(ACT 15:9) [KJV] Acts 15:8+9 And God, which knoweth the hearts, bare them witness, giving them the Holy Ghost, even as he did unto us; And put no difference between us and them, purifying their hearts by faith. Observe that in the Old Testament the same Holy Ghost was given to the prophets as here to the Apostles and Gentiles.

(GEN 15:6) Abram believed יהוה YaHWeH , and he credited it to him as righteousness.

2. God's word further teaches the believer how to live for God. To be a Messianic believer or in Roman terms "Christian" (a follower of the Messiah Yeshua) is not just having a religion. It's having a living relationship with the Holy GOD like the Prophets of old time. Thus a Messianic believer ought to live a holy life as "YaHWeH" God tells it.

(2PE 1:3,4) His divine power has given us everything we need for life and godliness through our knowledge of him who called us by his own glory and goodness. Through these he has given us his very great and precious promises, so tlfat through them you may participate in the divine nature and escape the corruption in the world caused by evil desires.

(PSA 119:9-11) How can a young man keep his way pure? By living according to your word. I seek you with all my heart; do not let me stray from your commands. I have hidden your word in my heart that I might not sin against you. Also you can keep HIS commands in your heart as King David did. The ten Commandments in Exodus 20 can keep you from sin. Many times when Yeshua was asked about eternal life, the answer was:

"Keep the Commandments"

Luke 18:18 And a certain ruler asked him, saying, Good Master, what shall I do to inherit eternal life? 19 And Jesus said unto him, Why callest thou me good? none good, save one, , God.

20 You know the commandments, Do not commit adultery, Do not kill, Do not steal, Do not bear false witness, Honour your father and your mother. ...

As we see Yeshua tells us things from the Old Testament where then is the difference between the old and the new Testament??? Actually there is no difference only the time. All will be saved by Yeshua the Son of GOD. But some may say the beginning of the Gospel is the New Testament. Well have a deeper look into the matter. Rabbi Sha'ul (Apostle Paul) writes that the Gospel was preached to the Jews in the dessert. (Hebrews 4) and also it says in Mark 1:1 The beginning of the gospel of Jesus Christ, the Son of God. Still this is a mistake put in by the Romans into the biblical text and apart from this the Hebrew manuscripts read: “This is the Gospel of Yeshua Mashiach, the son of Eloah.” There is nothing of a beginning and anyway the Gospel is eternal. Also remember you are plugged into the native olive tree, meaning you are now spiritually nourished by the guidance of the holy scriptures from old time.

CONCLUSION:

Through the Scripture, God communicates to man His loving plan of salvation at any time of earth. God made sure that this plan is given in the written form so we can be certain about the way of salvation and go on it.
