NOTE: Preliminary explanations of above statements: (1) The ASPI version of the Bible is a summary of II Peter 1:20,21. Authorized as from God through Apostles and Prophets, Semi-Public in that the access to the Spirit of God is required, and Interpretation since there is only one ASP interpretation and version, like Peter wrote "no private" interpretation, thus diverse interpretations come from human frailties to practice these good hermeneutics {rules for understanding} of the Bible; and (2) Paul was held at Caesarea for 2 years before taken to Rome where tradition has it that he was eventually crucified upside down with Peter, and about the 4 dimensions of the love of Christ: "That Christ may dwell in your hearts by faith; that ye, being rooted and grounded in love, May be able to comprehend with all saints what is the breadth, and length, and depth, and height; And to know the love of Christ, which passeth knowledge, that ye might be filled with all the fulness of God." (Ephesians 3:17-19) Parts of the Outline underlined below are available for viewing and/or downloading free. |
