Question: I have done extensive research also. Where exactly do you get your Truth? Have you heard of Dr. Kinley?
Answer: I get what I think is truth from
continued
reading of the Scriptures (over many years now; having read through,
in order, cover to cover many times with prayer), study of Biblical
Hebrew for my own
proof of translation, study of ancient manuscript veracity, reading the
background of the translators and doctrines that they held, reading
other
peoples opinions on issues and their reasons for believing what they
believe,
and lastly praying to be led by Yahweh away from error, deception, and
self-deception.
Yes, I have heard of Dr. Kinley. I have looked
over IDMR doctrine. I cannot recommend it, since I disagree with
some core doctrines. One point for comment would be that I
believe
that there is one Mighty One, Yahweh; that "Elohim" is the Hebrew
generic
word for a mighty one as the word "God" is in English (it therefore is
also used in Scripture to refer to Yahweh); that Yahshua was a human
(granted,
a special one anointed by Yahweh for a unique purpose); and that the
Holy
Spirit (set-apart breath, in Hebrew) is Yahweh's power in action and
not
an entity.
I am at the point now where I am not affiliated with
any organization, nor do I follow any one man's teaching. I've
been
there; it is too limiting. Once you do not agree, you don't fit
in
or you are ignored or asked to leave. It stifles my search for
truth.
Today so much is directly available to us: the Dead Sea Scroll
translations(now
in print), the work still being done on the fragments from the Cairo
Geniza,
the thoughts of Origen (185-254) at the time he wrote his Hexapla and
his
alteration of the Septuagint column in his work. Of course, the
personal
doctrines of Westcott and Hort seriously distorted their translations,
even if they did write in Greek. Also, the religious-political
atmosphere among the writers
of the original King James Version is an eye opener.
Trust in the Pentateuch; it is the most
unaltered,
even from 200 B. C. to 1008 A.D. as evidenced in the Leningrad Codex
and
BHS translation. I believe in Messiah, Yahshua, by the written
reports
of the eye witnesses. And, Yahshua confirmed Torah. For
