Hundreds of translations over many thousands of years have misinterpreted the idioms (slang) used in the original manuscripts, resulting in a change in the meaning of many Sacred Passages in the Bible. If I were to write a letter to a friend that said, "I'm going to 'hit the sack' early tonight, someone finding my letter a thousand years from now would have no idea what I was talking about. The same holds true for idiom translations in the Bible.
Through Dr. Portinga's research into what was his life's purpose: How thought and consciousness effect every aspect of your life; mentally, physically. emotionally, and spiritually, you will discover an exciting new world of possibilities exist for you.
A New Understanding of the Ten Commandments will guide you through the true meaning of the Ten Commandments, originally written as a guide to live your life in peace, harmony, and the fulfillment of your desires.
During its approximately 3000 years of written history, Aramaic had served as a language of the administrations of empires and as a language of divine worship. It was the language of Jesus, the central figure of Christianity, who spoke a Western Aramaic language during his public ministry. The Aramaic alphabet was widely adopted for other languages and is ancestral to the Hebrew, Syriac and Arabic alphabets.
Dean Portinga, Th.D., Ph.D., spent over 60 years researching physics, metaphysics, quantum physics, and spirituality as they related to the Bible. He also worked closely with Dr. George Lamsa, a native Aramaic speaker to write this book. Dr. Lamsa spent his lifetime translating the Aramaic Peshitta (literally "straight, simple") of the Old and New Testaments into English. He translated the scriptures, using his extensive knowledge of Aramaic and the idioms used during that time into an understanding of the Bible's original intent.
Through Dr. Portinga's combination of science and a clearer understanding of the Ten Commandments, he found a common thread that connected his combined knowledge into the answer to his life's purpose; How do thought and consciousness affect every aspect of our lives. He shares these results in this book.
A New Understanding of the Ten Commandments will give you a clearly defined step-by-step guide to a more meaningful understanding of the Ten Commandments as well as the tools to enrich your life. He shares his finding with you in this book.
