"The Bible"


“The Bible”

cji
3/30/17

Translated thousands of times
even when being first recorded
many records destroyed in war
ravages of time and decay
while the thread always there
records kept from Adam onward
some lost or buried in tombs
some kept secret by churches
while yet changed for politics
remains what we’ve today
some 56,000 editions told
commanded to be taken
literally and to be studied
all – in toto’ – all – not part
William Tyndale worthiness
speaking/writing many languages
over 80% of what’s in the Bible
from his efforts put to death
(not once but twice-hanged/burned)
‘so even a plowboy could discern’
thus we’ve the Bible Old/New
a testament of Jesus the Christ
but it is only one of the Scriptures!
