Bible STUDY Methods
How do we read, understand and apply God’s Word which is contained in a nearly 4,000 year old book? This process of understanding the Bible is called Hermeneutics.
BIBLE TRANSLATIONS
World English Bible (WEB) There are many good English translations of the Holy Bible. Unfortunately, almost all of them were either (1) archaic (like the KJV and ASV of 1901), or (2) covered by copyright restrictions that prevent unrestricted free posting on the internet. The World English Bible is a quality translation of the Holy Bible into modern English, that you may freely use and quote, either for personal or commercial purposes. The World English Bible is an update of the American Standard Version of 1901, which is in the Public Domain, and has been edited to conform to the Greek Majority Text New Testament. The update has been undertaken by some very competent scholars. https://ebible.org/pdf/eng-

The Slave Bible: This is a sad side of Christianity. It is a heavily redacted version of the King James, originally published in London in 1807 on behalf of the Society for the Conversion of Negro Slaves. Slave owners were afraid that IF people of color read the bible with it’s message of being free in Christ, they would lose control of “their property.” White missionaries were muzzled in what they could teach. The Slave Bible was provided as their text to teach people of color to read, and to comply with their owners. 95% of the Old Testament and 50% of the New Testament were removed so slaves could not read passages like the Exodus, or
1 Corinthians 9:19 (NASB) 19 For though I am free from all men, I have made myself a slave to all, so that I may win more.
Galatians 5:1 (NASB) 1 It was for freedom that Christ set us free; therefore keep standing firm and do not be subject again to a yoke of slavery.

Calvinism/Augustianism
Augustine’s defection from the Apostolic Faith and subsequent slander of Pelagius
Scores of scholars have been heaping data that demonstrate Augustine defected from the theology of the church held from the beginning up to 412 AD. Augustine was teaching rhetoric in Milan, and Ambrose, Archbishop of Milan, was renown for his rhetorical ability. Augustine first came to Ambrose to improve his teaching, but soon was captured by Ambrose’ faith. Ambrose converted Autustine from Manichaeism about 386 AD.
Around 412 AD Augustine defected from the Free Will doctrine held by the church and reverted to the determinism of the pagan religion of Manichaeism. Pelagius was just one of the faithful who protested Augustine’s defecture. The five points of Calvinism (TULIP), and Calvin’s theology is Augustinian.

Haygood (1839–1896) was an American bishop of the Methodist Episcopal Church, South. He was president of Emory College. Haygood gained national prominence as a spokesman for the “New South” with his November 25, 1880 sermon from the pulpit of the Oxford Methodist Episcopal Church South (now known as Old Church). He promoted Christian tolerance and acceptance and urged reconciliation with the northern states, promoted education and educational opportunity for African Americans, called for an end to slavery, and attacked cruel practices against people of color.

Transubstantiation (a non-
A cardinal doctrine of the Roman Catholic Church is Transubstantationism, which
“expresses the notion that the Sacramental bread and wine, the moment they are consecrated by the Priest, are changed into the very body and blood of our Saviour Christ. This change they hold to be total. Not one particle of he bread, not one drop of the wine, is left; only the appearance is preserved. They are supposed to be wholly transformed in substance; and hence they are said to be transubstantied. (Council of Trent, Sess. 13,c.iv.-
Pope Innocent III convened the 4th Lateran Council and declared
“There is only one universal Church, beyond which no man can in any way be saved. In which Jesus Christ is himself the priest and sacrifice, whose body and blood are really contained in the sacrament of the altar, under the form of bread and wine, being transubstantiated, the bread into the body and the wine into the blood, by divine power.” (Confession of the Synod of the fourth Lateran Council. 1215 A.D.)
Two old but helpful treatises date to the Church of England disentangling itself from the RC doctrine:
Tititson: A Discourse Against the Transubstantiation
Smith: Transubstantiation Tried by Scripture
E. DePressense: Heresy and Christian Doctrine
Several points contra to Transubstantiation
1. Jesus often used metaphors: Cf. Gospel of John 6:35, 9:5, 10:9, 15:1
2. If Christ is taken literally, He is offering, before the Atonement was actualized, atonement to the disciples.
3. John in 20:31 states his gospel is written to give the miracles of Jesus that give eternal life; but he never
mentions the institution of the Lord’s Supper.
4. Transubstantiation goes against the Calcedon Creed of 451 A.D.
An English translation of the Creed
“We, then, following the holy Fathers, all with one consent, teach men to confess one and the same Son, our Lord Jesus Christ, the same perfect in Godhead and also perfect in manhood; truly God and truly man, of a reasonable soul and body; consubstantial with us according to the manhood; in all things like unto us, without sin; begotten before all ages of the Father according to the Godhead, and in these latter days, for us and for our salvation, born of the virgin Mary, the mother of God, according to the manhood; one and the same Christ, Son, Lord, Only-
5. For over 8 centuries the church understood Christ to be speaking in metaphors.

Gnosticism & Paganism
What is Gnosticism? Gnosticism is the most pervasive and popular alternatives to Christianity and is a Major Problem Facing the Church today! It is an amalgamation of Eastern paganism and Roman paganism and exploded in the United States in the 1960’s. Writing at the beginning of the Hippie Movement in the late 1950’s, Dr. Hans Jonas wrote these words on the emergence of Eastern mysticism:
“What we do witness at the period roughly coinciding with the beginnings of
Christianity is an explosion of the East. Like long-
broke through the Hellenistic crust and flooded the ancient world, flowing from
the established Greek forms and filing them with their content, besides creating
their own new beds.”
This ancient Worldview arrived in the West, being referred to as “The New Age,” “the Age of Aquarius,” “New Thought,” “Theosophy,”and many others.
Scholars are generally in agreement that Gnosticism originated from the merger of Hindu mysticism and Greek/Roman mysticism; and the New Age Movement of the 1960’s originated from Gnosticism and Hinduism, with the mantra “Hey ho, Don’t you know? Western Civ has got to go!”
The New Age worldview is like a kaleidoscope. There are so many tangents to it because it is very eclectic and draws from so many divergent sources. It is behind the gender issues, black lives matter, homosexuality, polyandry, polygyny, and much more. (Polyandry is contrasted with polygyny.)
This new worldview has entered deeply into western society and is seen in the health industry, psychology, science, politics, and “the new spirituality.”
The Apostle Paul is apparently having to address the influence of Gnosticism in the new congregations he was establishing. The Apostle John seems to have had problems with Gnosticism’s development and threat to the health of the church and wrote to counteract its influence. His Gospel and Epistles are evidence of it’s arrival in the Roman Empire.
In contrast with Gnosticism, The God of the Bible is CREATOR, everything else is created. The God of the Bible has given us His inspired Scriptures for our guidance.
Augustine, Bishop of Hippo, was the theologian from whom Roman Catholicism and Calvinism are derived. Around 412 AD, he reverted from the theology of all the Christian theologians preceding him, and returned to the gnosticism he held before becoming a Christian, a fact which he acknowledged. He is purported to have written: "We never cease to look towards India, many things are proposed to our admiration."
Today Gnosticism seeks to destroy the Bible, the Church, historic Christianity; and eliminate Western Civilization, creating a New World Order.
Dr. Richard John Neuhaus says: “Modern Day gnosticism is the natural religion of Americans, including American Christians…Feel-

The Reformation Movement of Luther, Huss, Calvin, Wesley, et.al., had the goal of reforming the Roman Catholic Church, and end the many abuses of that denomination. We, on the other hand, desire to go back entirely to the pattern of the church which God had given in the New Testament. Our belief is if all followers of the Messiah would unite in the effort to restore the church in the Bible, the unity for which Christ prayed would be achieved. To accomplish this goal requires great humility.
