This content will be periodically updated.  I will change the posted chapters every few weeks.  Praise Yah and enjoy the sample audio.  Audio excerpts will soon be available.

“In the beginning, Yah was alone and bored in the dark so God created the heavens and the Earth.  First Yah created the Word of God.  Everything else came after…” was almost the opening, but Revelation 22:18 is way too terrifying.  I know the power of the Most High.  Praise Yah.  Enjoy the read.

CHOOSE LIFE:  THE COVENANT

Introduction

I have been afraid of God all of my memorable life- afraid to question or really even talk about the LORD in any fashion unless it was in praise. My grandmother made sure of that. The family fears Grandmom and she fears the LORD. I listened to her and learned to fear the LORD also. The gist of everything I was taught about the LORD is that the LORD is the beginning and the ending, and I am not supposed to fear anything except God and my parents. I was also taught that God is love, and God is the Word.

I remember the unanswerable questions I used to ask pertaining to the LORD, “Where did God come from?” “Who does God really talk to?” “Will God ever talk to me?” My grandmother made sure that the LORD was always a part of our lives. When no one wanted to go to church, Grandmom made sure we did. Regardless of whether we were saved on Sunday and backsliders by Tuesday, we went. We were supposed to be in this world but not of it.

There came a time when I decided to go with the Christian-flow. I stopped asking my grandmother questions that she knew not the answers to, and probably thought I would go to hell for asking. It felt good being saved and being able to understand what that really meant. It felt as though I really was a part of a magical sect. Good things happened all of the time, both minor miracles and true blessings. As a person who has always felt as though I merely had enough, seeing all of the extra that the LORD brought me, just because I was listening to the word of the LORD, I wanted to have that word with me and in me always.

I tried to read the Holy Bible, over and over again. I wanted that information for myself. “This book will tell me everything I ever wanted to know about God.” So I thought. As I began to read, I quickly became enamored with the flow of the words and the terminology used in the King James Version. Then the more I read, the more I realized that there were a lot of unexplained things happening, it did not seem chronological, and it was even difficult to decipher who was speaking to whom. Then I realized, that is how so many people can interpret the Bible in so many backward ways. Figuring that the old English being used was the cause of my confusion, I switched to the New International Version.

The NIV just seemed too different. That was not the Bible I knew; the Bible I had been recited scriptures from, which still stick with me today. The NIV seemed a little bit easier of a read, but it just did not seem to have that holy overtone. And slowly but surely my interest in the Bible waned. I feel stupid admitting that there was a period of time that my word was sitting in my car just to keep me safe as I drove.

Then as an adult, after I had slid too far away from the LORD, those trials and tribulations that drive most to the church, drove me back to my yearning for learning about the LORD. In lieu of me sitting, and listening to someone else’s interpretation of what God wants us to do, I will gain my own understanding, my own interpretation of the truth that is written within the Word. I am truly in the pursuit of enlightenment, and implore you to join in my joy while on this journey.  It is written that all scripture is inspired by God.

I know that there is a God, and I know that we are supposed to believe, but there is a lot of conflicting information in the Bible. A lot of the information is definitely under-explained. For a book that is written in such great detail, how can so much be missing? What ever happened to the woman that was made at the same time as Adam? Didn’t Eve come later?

Please don’t get me wrong, I am not so naive as to believe that the Holy Bible contains all of the existing information pertaining to the LORD; my God. But, being that the “Good Book” is the book that many people that we encounter in our day-to-day lives live their lives by, it is such a terrible shame that so many people do not really understand or even know the rules they are supposed to follow.

This is my effort in bringing this world together. Regardless of what you were taught or believe, real always recognizes real. People are people, we just talk differently, eat different foods, and get assigned to different bathrooms. I am not writing in an attempt to lead anyone astray. I want to bring the world a better understanding of the LORD, and how things got to be the way they are today. This is your copy of The King James Version of The Holy Bible, which I grew up on cross-referenced with The New International Version of the Holy Bible, which is a little bit easier of a read, and supposedly explained better- my great attempt not to plagiarize any translation. Verse for verse, this is my biblical translation. This will eventually become The New Judah Translation of the Holy Bible, or something of the sort. But until then, choose life, and read this before you die, so that you may gain your own understanding.

I am no blasphemer. My intention is not to change the Bible in any way. This is simply my reiteration, not interpretation, yet. Anything that differs from either of the texts is cited in my work. I have cited my work in this manner intentionally. I want people to understand this truth as I do, word for word both figuratively and literally, so that they may understand what is in my heart and why.

This is such a great piece of literature that it is hard to decipher the Word of God from the words of man. But in all honesty, it doesn’t matter. The truth is the truth regardless of where you hear it. We need to be good people. That is basically what the Bible says in all of those words.

The only things that are different in my version than the KJV and the NIV are: I call the LORD, the Lord; your God, or the Lord; my God, or some variation, or by the name Yah, as that is the shortened version of the name that certain people thought was so holy we should not have in in our mouths. Honestly, I think that was a terrible mistake. They have tried to make us forget The Most High God over and over again. I don’t use those cool caps, this not a bible, yet.

Shall is still will or may, it only makes sense. But shalt, that is either should, could, or would. Shall and shalt seem different to me sometimes.

I italicized the masculine pronouns used in reference to Yah or replaced them with God or Yah. The Most High God is not a man or a woman. I honestly feel that the wording of the Bible is one of the roots of chauvinism.

I changed some of the ands to buts–the NIV did also. Please remember that there were a lot of liberties taken in the translation of the first bibles, as the original texts in Hebrew have no vowels or punctuation at all. So please remember that basically every word in it was decoded and made up.

I also tried to figure out who was speaking and quoted them. This was the most difficult part, I guess this is why others also have tried and have fallen short. My words are in italics, always.

I hope my effort is good enough. This is an attempt to help, not hinder. Who really knows what Yah said? But there are definitely certain things that we can all feel in our hearts are universal truths. Yah is that universal truth. All we can honestly do is hope we are not being misled by our minds which are constantly under attack by an enemy which wants us to kill ourselves.

I am not here and writing this to mislead you. I am not writing anything that I do not believe. From the depths of my heart, I truly feel that this wicked world would be a much better place if we all hearken to the truth in this book. My children will be able to pick this up and understand what the Bible says. They will also understand that I did not write the Bible, this is merely another translation, my reiteration checked against the translation of 1611.

I am only of weak flesh also, and am in no way as perfect as the Most High can make us.  But these words speak to my soul, and by the grace of the Most High, the backing of our interceder, and the power of the Holy Spirit, I am faithful that I have been charged to interpret.

The vague truth is mixed up in here some place. Your charge is to learn and understand on your own what it is because everyone’s truth is not the same. But regardless of the blessings and curses we have inherited from our forefathers, and foremothers also, we still change the destinies of our offspring with every choice we make, like our forefathers and foremothers have shaped ours.

No one can give the answers you seek, except you and a genuine pursuit for truth. This fact does not solely pertain to the search of peace and happiness through Yah the Most High. In my search of that particular truth, I went to Grandmom for the answers, and she was the first person to tell me that God had them. When I asked God, this is the answer that I got:
