In 1526, William Tyndale completed the translation of the first English New Testament, which caused a great change in the religious life. Until then, the Bible was in Latin and used only for the clergy. The Reformation stirred Europe in the 16th century. Bibles began to be delivered in languages other than Latin. What was […]
The Bible is full of metaphors, symbols and figurative expression. Jesus spoke to his listeners only with parables, so that they would not understand (!). The last book of the Bible, Revelation, is the account by Jesus to John about what happens at the end of time. John conveyed this to the readers of the […]
Translation is not an easy task and errors have occurred, even hundreds. For example, the King James Version has over the centuries been corrected or improved uncountable times.

In the gospel of John, there are verses which are considered to mean that Jesus Himself confirms to be the same as God the Father. However, Jesus himself said that he was the Son of God. He could have at least confessed to his disciples that he was God or one of the three God […]
Jesus is known as Logos – the Word of God. What is the Word?
