New Millennium Bible - Revised Edition: Words of Life (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781519114945)

The New Millennium Bible is a book for the masses created with the basic intent of all Bibles; allowing the reader to learn, know and change in accordance with the Teachings of Jesus.We all know the texts of the Bible contain no chapter and verse number divisions, originally. Have you ever wanted to read the writings of the messengers of Jesus in letter format, as the writers intended? We also know Hebrew, Chaldean and Greek are the original languages of the Bible text, subsequently translated into English. Because of this, an almost innumerable array of study tools, lexicons, dictionaries and cross-references exist in order to give us the "true meaning" of the text. Have you ever wanted to read the writings of the messengers of Jesus in a form requiring no special external tools to facilitate understanding?Well, this book gives you the means to do so, in a compact and precise format: understandable and self-explanatory text without the standard Bible chapter and verse divisions.The narratives of the life of Jesus read, as they should, like a story. The Letters from the Apostles read like letters and not academic dissertations. This is a book that informs, encourages and enlightens us to the ways of The Almighty.Chapter Divisions and Verse Division serve us well in academia, giving all a standardized system of referencing any particular section of the text. However, the arbitrary divisions within the text often disconnect the continuity of the thoughts of the writers and thereby misrepresents the intent of The writers.Do Chapters and Verses prevent us from understanding the Bible? NO! Should the study of the Bible text discontinue and are study tools relics to shun? NO! NO! And NO!The abuse of the chapter and verse system has caused many "would be" believers to engage in "sound-bite religion" where snippets (verses) replace substance, as multitudes use individual verses to make their point. Amidst this deafening sound of talking heads, the truth is often lost in the noise. Religious leaders stand before congregations and boldly declare the words of their sermons and "messages" built upon a single, or few, "verses" of text from the Bible with no regard for context. For many, the Bible has become a collection of fortune-cookie sayings, horoscopes and daily devotional snippets. Was this God's intent? Was this the intention of the writers? Was this the intention of Jesus and his apostles?This is not a remedy to the sound-bite distortion of our Holy text, but this is a tool to assist us in reading the Bible without chapter and verse clutter, and possibly start us down the ancient path of understanding, again.My prayer is that all gain a clearer understanding of the message relayed through the Bible.This is a unique expression of the most impactful words and events in human history!This is Volume contains Matthew - Revelation
