Romans 12.1. Therefore I urge you, brothers, through the compassion of God, to present your bodies holy, living offerings, pleasing to God, your spiritual service: 2. and stop being conformed to this age, but you must from the inside continually be changed into another form, by the renovation of your mind, to prove what is the good and pleasing and perfect will of God for you.
Daily scripture passages from The One New Man Bible
Why is the book of James not included in one new man bible? What was added in the one new man bible? Please advise and give some clarification.
Shalom Fides,
Thank you for writing. The book that most translations call James is in the One New Man Bible, using the name the Greek text uses: Jacob.
Blessings, Bill
I have heard of all the calls for “Prison Reform,” but there are crimes that deserve the opportunity, not right, for rehabilitation for those that really want to be reformed, and career criminals…And the other side that actually make prisoners even even worse criminals, per their crimes, that have no way of ever giving, at the least, 100% full restitution. That is the other and much harder part of “reform” that should have a limited, by days, weeks and the most month NOT YEARS, in the crimes of murder, rape, molestation, pedophilia, kidnapping, terrorism and both bearing false witness in public and perjury through the legal system. Yes those that accuse falsely of any of the above, in my opinion, have gotten to the point they lie to gain power, financial gain, political agendas or are just evil individuals. And the ONLY thing that will get America on the path of protection, and the second largest movement of Pro-Life, protecting the innocent, is day of conviction executions in any of these crimes, under Equal Justice we should demand.
I would like, I hope, Biblically sound support, not taken out of content and context, that you can give me.
Also, you may have been asked this question, but why isn’t the Book of James in your defined Bible?
And last, but not least, I am having surgery on October 23rd having a tumor that is in my back attached to my Spinal Cord. The Neurologist told me he has never seen the size nor shape of this tumor before, and cannot tell if it is cancerous or not. I have a lot of bed rest coming. Estimated to be 1-2 months depending on if it is cancerous or not.
Financially I am struggling, and I didn’t know if you could send me some things to read or not.
I have been dealing with pains and injuries since 2002, as well as it seems a doctor that just told me my tremor was “Normal,” until I finally questioned his diagnosis and found another doctor others had recommended me see. She saw the tremor and recommended a neurologist right away.
I’m not sure if you get these questions, or if this is just a straight blog that anyone gets…but I have a lot of financial things I’m trying to deal with, and I take care of my 82 year old mom (well, we take care of each other). My father died falling from a ladder when I had just turned 15 on a Thanksgiving Week….I fell from a ladder onto a conveyor line leaving me disabled.
I am also part of the elder men’s Sunday School (75 and up) and I just turned 55 October 10th. It is the only place within that church I feel the Holy Spirit, and the only place I serve within a church I grew up in, and is now full of immoralities and perversity against God, and it’s a Baptist church to boot!
That you for your One New Man’s Bible. It has opened my eyes to a lot of misconceptions and misinterpretations per centuries of some agenda driven Bibles.
Thanks Again.
Shalom Ralph,
Thank you for writing. You have quite a history, and before I start on most of your questions, I’ll mention hte book of James. The name James is not in Hebrew in the Greek New Testament, or in the Latin New Testament. The name in all those is Jacob. That is why the name James does not apper in One New Man Bible.
You have several good points on “prison reform” that will probably not be considered in any soon coming reform. Nevertheless there is in the interest of justice, some reform needed now. I especially like your suggestion that thos who falsely accuse should pay a penalty for crime of character assassination.
Blessings, Bill
