Robert Murray McCheyne The biography of Robert Murray McCheyne, written by his lifelong friend, A.A. Bonar, has become a classic of devotional literature. McCheyne would have been pleased, but embarrassed, that a biography would be written about his life and works. That his very life would be food for devotion would never have occurred to him, overwhelmed by a sense of all conquering grace as he was. He always felt that something more could be done, yet another soul to be reached, or still higher goals set and attempted. So, that he should become an example by life and word would have been a slight embarrassment to him, pleasing as it was that God should use him thus, long since departed to "Immanuel's Land." McCheyne was born in 1813, educated at the University of Edinburgh (Scotland), and ordained as a minister in the Church of Scotland. His first pastorate, begun in 1839, was St. Peter's in Dundee. His health was never very good, but he maintained a vigorous program of church visitation, Bible study, prayer, meditation, and writing. He became a member of the so-called Non-Intrusion movement that ultimately led to the "Disruption," the withdrawal of 474 ministers from the Church of Scotland to form the Free Church of Scotland in 1843. The cause for the split was over purity of doctrine, church polity, and state interference in church affairs. McCheyne became vitally interested in missions, especially the mission to the Jews in 1839, and made a long trip to Europe and Palestine to see the situation first hand. His reflections are recorded in Bonar's biography, where, like the apostle Paul in Athens who saw a city given to superstition rather than filled with works of art, McCheyne lamented the worldliness and paganism of the great cities he visited. McCheyne died in 1843 at 30 years of age, to the great sorrow of his friends, who wondered that such a glorious light should burn so brightly for so short a time. McCheyne would have vigorously disclaimed any second guessing of God's providence. "Not lost but gone before" would have been his words, as he earlier wrote concerning the death of a friend. Andrew Alexander Bonar, McCheyne's biographer, was himself a man of no mean accomplishment. He, like McCheyne, was an ordained Church of Scotland minister, a member of the Non-Intrusion movement, took part in the Disruption, traveled to Palestine as a member of the "Mission of Inquiry" with McCheyne, and lived out his days as a Free Church minister in Finnieston, Glasgow. He was the editor of Samuel Rutherford's Letters, which, along with his own Diary, and the biography of McCheyne, have become devotional classics.

This is the fourth edition of the Literal Translation that appears in the side margins of Jay Green's best-seller, The Interlinear Hebrew-Greek-English Bible. This is the fourth edition of that most accurate version. Now You Can Know What God Said, Not Just What Men Say He Said. The Bible you have been reading may say that The word of God is . . . sharper than a two-edged sword (Heb. 4:12), but in myriads of verses it has been dulled by mistranslation, or lost through non-translation of the words God actually wrote through the Scripture writers as they were "borne along by the Holy Spirit" (2 Peter 1:21).See these expressive words of God that been hidden from you? Know exactly what God said in every verse of the Holy Scriptures. Do not put your trust in so-called intelligentsia, but trust only and fully in the powerful, life-giving words as they were given to the apostles and prophets to write, who were "borne along by the Holy Spirit" Why not read the very words written by God in the Hebrew &amp; Greek languages translated in the English word-for-word? God calls the Scriptures "My Word" (see Isaiah 51:16). Every word is precious, wisely selected by God to satisfy your soul, and to direct your steps.Every nation had their lords, but only Israel had Jehovah as their God. All other countries were ''the nations.'' In the New Testament ''Gentiles'' is falsely put for the ''nations.'' ''Church'' is a word God never wrote: instead he called the meeting place ''the assembly'' both in the New and Old Testament. ''The children of Israel'' never existed as such, for the word, for ''sons'' is badly translated as ''children.''Only by going back to the each and every word of the Hebrew and Greek manuscripts can we ever attempt to have the purest translation. This is what we have done with the KJ3 - Literal Translation of the Bible.

The Philadelphia Confession of Faith is one of the most influential confessions among Baptists in early America. Being the first known published Baptist confession on American soil, the confession clearly presents adherence to strict Calvinism and is believed to mirror the Second London Confession of 1689. Baptist historian, William McGlothlin, explains: The first reference to any Confession of faith by an Association in America was by the Philadelphia Association, in 1724. In reply to a query concerning the Sabbath, the Association refers “to the Confession of Faith, set forth by the elders and brethren met in London, 1689, and owned by us.” It is not known that the Confession had been adopted by the Association in any formal way; nevertheless, it was evidently already regarded as their standard of doctrine. References to “our Confession of faith,” “the Confession of Faith, “etc. , in 1727 and 1729, almost certainly refer to the same Confession. Finally, the Association assembled at Philadelphia, September 25, 1742, ordered the printing of a new edition of this Confession, the first of this or any other Baptist Confession to be printed in America. It was to have two additional articles, “concerning singing of psalms in the worship of God,” and “laying of hands upon baptized believers.” Jenkin Jones and Benjamin Griffith were also requested to”prepare a short treatise of discipline, to be annexed to the Confession of faith” (Minutes Philadelphia Association, 1742).– William McGlothlin, Baptist Confessions of Faith, 1911. p. 221)

''The great appointed means of spreading the good tidings of salvation through Christ is preaching; words spoken, whether to the individual, to the assembly. And this, nothing can supersede it. But printing can never take the place of the living Word. When a man who is apt in teaching, whose soul is on fire with the truth which he trusts has saved him, and hopes will save others, speaks face to face, eye to eye, and electric sympathies flash to and fro, all are borne on chariots of fire.''

Now You Can Know What God Said, Not Just What Men Say He Said. The Bible you have been reading may say that The word of God is . . . sharper than a two-edged sword (Heb. 4:12), but in myriads of verses it has been dulled by mistranslation, or lost through non-translation of the words God actually wrote through the Scripture writers as they were "borne along by the Holy Spirit" (2 Peter 1:21). Why let all these expressive words of God be hidden away from you any longer? Be enriched by knowing exactly what God said in every verse of the Holy Scriptures. Put not your trust in princes, noblemen, or so-called intelligentsia, but trust only and fully in the powerful, life-giving words as they were given to the apostles and prophets to write, as they were "borne along by the Holy Spirit" No one can transmit a message without using words. Why not use the very words written by the original Author in the English as close as it can get to them? For God calls the Scriptures "My Word" (see Isaiah 51:16). And every one of them is precious, wisely selected by God to satisfy your soul, and to direct your steps. Verse-paragraph format, Paperback, 1,220 pages

This is the translation that appears in the side margins of Jay P. Green, Sr.'s best-selling series of The Interlinear Hebrew-Greek-English Bible. This is the fourth edition of this most accurate of all versions. Due to additional intense study, and the suggestions of others, we feel confident that this version has now been perfected. This is what the King James Version was meant to be, an exact word-forward translation of the Hebrew and Greek texts. This title indicates that this new Bible is an exact literal, word-for-word translation of the Masoretic Hebrew Text and the Greek Received Text (Textus Receptus), the main texts used by the Authorized/King James Version translators. Now You Can Know What God Said, Not Just What Men Say He Said. The Bible you have been reading may say that The word of God is . . . sharper than a two-edged sword (Heb. 4:12), but in myriads of verses it has been dulled by mistranslation, or lost through non-translation of the words God actually wrote through the Scripture writers as they were "borne along by the Holy Spirit" (2 Peter 1:21).
