1st John Bible Nerd-Study - Week 13

Week 13—1st John Bible Nerd-Study

*Missed last week? Click here for 1st John Bible Nerd-Study - Week 12

The link below is a compared version of the Revised Version and the American Standard Version. These two translations are sister translations. Originally, all of these translators worked together. But the Americans felt the British were being too liberal in certain ways so they wanted to do their own version that was more exact and conservative. They agreed to wait (20 years about) before releasing it.

In this attachment, you can see what the differences were between the two with 1st John. In this case, not too many but a few pretty essential ones. And remember, it is completely okay that these translations are almost exactly the same since the very same translators all worked together on both of them.

It's possible that the ASV is the very best translation we have in the English language for balancing exactness to the original along with proper use of the English language (Darby is exact but is odd English on purpose).

As usual, please share freely from your studies. We are all encouraged by these posts.

On Sunday we'll start the next week (week 14) with daily manna in 1st John 1:5-2:2 That will be 8 verses and we'll do it through the next Sunday (8 days). I'm mentioning this ahead of time so we're ready for it. That will be 1 verse a day. This time we'll combine memorizing and manna. You don't have to memorize that same day but if you use it as manna you will have it a little memorized. The week after that (week 15) we'll try to paraphrase that section. I wanted to bring this up ahead of time so we're ready to hit the ground running on Sunday.

1 John (RV vs ASV)

Crave the word

  So glad for this verse today:    as newborn babes  desire earnestly  [crave] the pure mental milk of the word, that by it ye may grow up to salvation  - 1 Peter 2:2 Try reading 10 chapters by the  choice  of craving and then read some more by the reactive desire of it.  How often are my 5 or 10 second moments spent checking some other happiness than Christ? In 5 seconds I can check notifications or I can chew on my manna for the day. In 10 seconds I can check for new emails or rehearse that verse I've been trying to memorize. I can spend just 5 minutes listening to the news or I can spend it finishing a daily Bible reading portion.  Mother's milk is the best thing for the newborn baby. The milk of the word is the best source of joy all through the day. "crave ... the word ... if indeed ye have tasted that the Lord is good."

The mystery of Israel: a conversation about prophecies and modern events

 This is not a message, it is more of a discussion that I’ve been having with several people by phone call or email or chat or in person. This only includes some notes on it but I wanted to share a more comprehensive view all at once.

God Has Spoken Series

Question: Where can I get the audio messages of Stephen Kaung's God Has Spoken series? If I could recommend only one book or series by Stephen Kaung it would be his God Has Spoken series. He shared a message for each book of the Bible, giving a simple overview and revealing the way to find Christ as you read. It is not only his classic set but it's His way with the Scriptures. Our brother could always find Christ and find Him as He's meant to be found. For a new believer and an old believer, this is the first set to have as guide through the Bible and a reference set to go back to later on.  Below are links to each of the original messages.   Old Testament  Introduction to the Old Testament Genesis -The Will of God Exodus -The Works of God Leviticus - The Ways of God Numbers -The Walk of God Deuteronomy - The Word of God Joshua - Possessing the Land   Judges - Possessing all the Possessions Ruth - Recovery of the Inheritance I Samuel - Epoch-...
