The Unseen Emails

If you learned that God had said something different than you have been taught, how would your feel? What would you think if you discovered that translators didn't like certain words in the Bible and so deleted them? Wouldn't you wonder what those words are? Many years ago, I attended a seminar by Malcolm Smith titled, The Search for Self Worth, healing for a codependent society. In the first hour, he spoke about a phrase in the Book of Romans from which translators had historically deleted a certain word. As he explained, deleting that word had changed the meaning of the passage. Amazingly, I was familiar with that passage yet never noticed that a Greek word was missing in the English translations. Unless you are familiar with biblical Greek, there is little likelihood that you would ever be aware of this change. But I knew enough of that language to realize he was correct. Learning about that single change in what God has really said changed my life forever. It was such an obvious change in the Scripture, and it took Malcolm to alert me to the problem. Years later, I began sending Malcolm letters via USPS and email in which I described to him many other changes that had been made to God's words. I remembered my Greek professor during my short stint in seminary explaining why it was permissible to delete or add words when translating, but the impact of that practice had never hit home until the day I heard Malcolm speak. In 2012 I began writing letters to Malcolm just to share the marvelous things I had learned that continued to change my life. I had no thought of ever publishing them. But after a few years I realized the life changing nature of what I had written, and it became obvious others would benefit from a new perspective on God and salvation in Christ. The Unseen Emails is not for anyone perfectly content with their religion. If I were you, I wouldn't buy this, yet. But for anyone wondering what happened to the wonders so evident in the first century church, and for you who are sure there is more to a relationship with God than what the modern church seems to deliver, these emails will be priceless. I do not want you to think they will be easy. But if you stick with them and practice what I explain to Malcolm, your thinking will change to increasingly be just like God's. As you increasingly learn to think like Him, you will find yourself having acted like Him. Oh, is this fun.
