the
rewrite project
the
complete book or romans
the
first letter of john (1 john)
the "rewrite
project" is a project where we have taken the scripture
(all over time) and tried to "bring it
home." here are the basic guidelines for the project:
1.
the rewriting is not seen as scripture and must only be viewed
as a lesson and not to develop doctrine.
2.
the following is an example of words that will be changed, and the
words they will be changed with:
Jew
changed to Christian
Law
changed to Grace
Circumcise
changed to Baptism
other
words will be added as time moves on
3.
we are not trying to change gender of create a "politically
correct" writing.
4.
we will try to italicize any words changed, but we encourage you
to read our rewrite in connection with your favorite edition.
5.
we are using several editions of scripture, including the
original greek, and we are in prayer concerning what we write.
6.
our desire is not to insult, but to create conversation.
as such we are open to hearing what you think and what you
believe it is all about.
remember
this, this is a "paraphrase" and not a
literal translation - it is not a word
for word translation - this paraphrase is from the
heart of our heart. over the past we have received
emails from people telling us that this is wrong -
to change the words as we are in some cases and to
use current language - to those we, with all the
love and grace we can muster, say - get a
grip. we are not recommending this for
anything but reading. we pray it opens your
eyes and heart, but we are not calling this "scripture."
though we do feel that we are being driven by the
holy spirit to complete this project. once
we are complete we will be seeking a publisher to
publish this work - so, if you know of one, tell
them about this - we are looking at doing other
letters as well.
