REVIEW by Olaf Bacon.
The PDF provided here by BibleSupport.com explains the vital importance that the words of Jesus must be not only translated, and spoken, but also understood by the hearers. The following example, which is provided, is illustrative of the problem of cultural differences, based on different foundations on which dwellings are built.
Here is the example that is given:
"Bruce Olson, in the book Bruchko, tells of challenges he faced when communicating the stories of the Bible to the Motilone people in the Amazon jungle. One story, the parable of the wise man who built his house on the rock, was especially problematic. In the story, Jesus says, “Everyone then who hears these words of mine and does them will be like a wise man who built his house on the rock” (Matthew 7:24, ESV). But this created such problems that Bruce’s friend and language helper at first wanted to skip it. “That’s not right, Bruchko. A house that is solid must be built on sand. Otherwise the poles won’t go deep enough, and the house will fall apart.”9 In the Motilone context, a direct, word-for-word translation of the parable would have communicated exactly the opposite of what Jesus had communicated to the original hearers. In Jesus’ context, buildings that were built on sand collapsed, so wise men built their houses on rock. In the Motilone context of the Amazon river basin, only a fool would build his house on a rock, because the flooding rivers would wash it away with the first rain. Instead, jungle houses were built on poles that ran deep into the sand where they would be firm and not collapse in any flood. In the end, they translated the parable with the wise man building his house on the sand, in order to accurately communicate to the Motilone people what Jesus’ story was intended to communicate. 9 Olson 1989, 160 40 The Christian Commons But regardless of how they translated it, the Motilone (and any) disciple of Christ needs to know at least three things in situations like these. They need to know what Christ actually said, what he meant, and why there is a difference between the two. The Motilone needs to know that Jesus said “everyone… who hears these words of mine and does them will be like a wise man who built his house on the rock [because he is wise and wants his house to stand firm]” (Matthew 7:24). But they also need to know what Jesus actually meant, as it applies in their own context: “everyone… who hears these words of mine and does them will be like a wise man who built his house on the sand [because he is wise and wants his house to stand firm]”). They also need to understand why there is a difference between what Jesus said and how it is accurately communicated in their own culture. In this case, the explanation would describe the different geography, climate, and cultural factors that affected the building of houses in Israel in the 1st century. Without explaining the context of a Biblical text and matching its intent to the context of the target culture, much of the Bible may be confusing and unclear to disciples of Christ, even though it is translated and accessible to them in their language. This does not in any way imply that the Scriptures alone are inadequate for “life and godliness”—far from it! The Word of God is “living and active”, and it effectively communicates when it is clearly understood by the hearers in any culture and language. This is why Ezra and the Levites took great care to read the Word of God and provide explanation. This is also why well-prepared sermons that exposit a portion of Scripture carefully draw out the crucial linguistic, historical, and cultural aspects of the text. The goal of good exegesis in the exposition of Scripture is to help the hearer come to a correct understanding of the text as it would have been understood by the original hearers. In this way, the meaning of the text can be accurately and consistently applied to the unique context of the hearer today."
The meaning is that the home dwelling must be built on secure foundations - the sturdy foundation on which the house is built is not just the surface sand but on rocks that are supported by having their roots in the solid rock of the mountains that will not be swept away by a flash flood of rapidly running water. Don't trip over the surface meaning of the words. Understand what the underlying meaning of the words represent in the real world, then EXPLAIN THE MEANING so that the listener, whether 4 years old, or 104 years old, will understand the sense of the instruction which he hears from the Master Teacher, because then the words will make practical sense in the real world, even when they visit other areas in South America where there are real mountains, and not merely sandy plains of silt and sand.
Then the gaps in the Vaticanus 1209, and Sinaiticus, and Alexandrinus manuscripts, illustrated clearly in The Causes of the Corruption of the Traditional Text of the Holy Gospels, being the sequel to The Traditional Text of the Holy Gospels by the late John William Burgon, B.D. Dean of Chichester, arranged, completed, and edited by Edward Miller, M.A. Wykehamical Prebendary of Chichester (1896), gaps in the text of these corrupted manuscripts which disfigure the ESV on a regular basis, can also be PUT BACK into the text. These words, phrases and verses were accepted in the Greek-speaking areas of the world, and are mentioned in the Textus Receptus translations of the Bible. These missing phrases are retained in the Greek Text know as Family P35 manuscripts that were personally collated by Dr. Wilbur Pickering, ThM, PhD, the missionary from Spanish, Portuguese, English and Greek speaking Brazil. Those writers did believe that the invisible God can communicate with humans. Those writers were able to spell Koiné Greek more correctly than the corrupted words written in the discarded scraps of fragments of the Bible that were discovered by treasure hunters in buried scrap heaps and hidden away and never copied on a large scale, in old monastery libraries. The Greek-speaking writers were able to understand the things that the Latin-speaking paganized Roman Catholics, and the Alexandrian and Egyptian trained Bible critics, who had studied pagan medicine and secular philosophic cultures instead of God's views, were not prepared to believe regarding things that they could not reproduce in their physics and chemistry laboratories.

Businesses are replacing humans who pay taxes, by robots that do not pay taxes on the work output that they produce. Why are non-human machines protected in this way? Shouldn't the similar output be taxed in the same way, or else the whole tax structure scrapped and replaced by a human-friendly system where usury is outlawed, community generosity is encouraged, and all loans either repaid, or cancelled, before the expiry of six years, and global and planetary-wide government interference in the application of the statutes of Almighty God is banned?
Since human political government regulations are unable to keep up with the doubling rate of knowledge, and to test its validity as being true or false, since the invasion of knowledge repositories by Artificial Intelligence algorithms, the alternative establishment of a Christian Commons makes sense.
As you explore this initiative, you'll see how it aligns with the inclusive and supportive ethos that underpins both religious communities and platforms like Wordle Unlimited, which encourage interactive and communal learning experiences.
