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. it is not our
intention to insult, but to educate.
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 are using several editions of scripture, including the greek
text, 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.
