Things I Consider When Reading The New Testament


-Many of these writers actually spent time with Jesus, the Christ, the I Am.


-The Gospels were written years later, thus subject to personal recall and yet at the risk of death inspired to write.


-The beauty of the Gospels is their overlap in stories from four separate personality types, thus differing perspectives.


-The oldest surviving full text of the New Testament is the Codex Sinaiticus, which dates from around 325–360 CE. 

Biblical. See sample remnant on papyrus above.


-They have survived translation, escaped institutional "captivity" & withstood ages of religious resistance.


-Thoroughly tested as to life application by millions and across multiple cultures.


-By design to be read with an openess to the same Spirit that inspired the writers. Memorization of text alone misses the point!


-A treasure map for discovery of what was once described as Living Water
