This Bible is Synthetic Leather. The One New Man Bible brings a greater
understanding of and appreciation for the power given to believers for
their daily walk. The Jewish Roots of Christianity come to life in The
One New Man Bible. Hebrew is a very expressive language, so this
translation brings out much of the power that has commonly been omitted
from traditional English translations. Ephesians 2:14.For He is our
peace, the One Who has made both things into one and Who has loosed the
dividing wall of the fence, cause of the enmity to His flesh, 15. by His
nullifying the tradition of the commandments by decrees, so that He
could create the two, Jewish and non-Jewish, into One New Man,
establishing peace 16. so He could reconcile both in one body to God
through the cross, as God killed their enmity by means of Y shua. 17.
And when He came He proclaimed the Good News of peace to you, to those
far away, and peace to those near: 18. because through Him we both have
the introduction to the Father by means of one Spirit. 19. Therefore
then, you are no longer aliens and strangers, but you are fellow
citizens of the saints and members of the household of God, 20. building
upon the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Messiah Y shua being
His cornerstone, 21. in Whom the whole building being constructed is
being fit together into a holy sanctuary in the Lord, 22. and in Whom
you are built together into a habitation of God by the Spirit. This
passage, a letter originally written to Gentiles and former heathens,
tells us that all are to worship the Living God of Abraham, Isaac, and
Jacob, The King of the Universe, the God Who became flesh and walked
among us. The One New Man Bible will help the Church understand and
appreciate its Jewish Roots, and finally recognize that Y shua (Jesus)
was born Jewish, that He grew up Jewish, and that He is the same today
as He was then. (Hebrews 13:8) Readers will understand that the
Scriptures Y'shua, and every New Testament author, embraced
(irreverently called Old Testament by the Church) are alive and relevant
for believers today. As a proof of God s perfect plan for His perfect
Word, readers will discover that Matthew flows, as if a continuous
stream, out of the book of Chronicles. Only God could have done this!
The One New Man Bible has been written to help present day believers
move toward God s perfect plan to create One New Man, bringing Jewish
and non-Jewish together. The Hebrew Scriptures are in the traditional
Jewish book order, and although different from the Christian book order,
it is easy to learn the sequence. This Bible is very easy to read
through, Genesis to Revelation. Scripture translated with the power and
meaning of the original language intact comes alive! One early surprise
is in Genesis 12:1 when God does not say Go to Abram, but Get yourself
out of here! Later He tells Moses to order Pharaoh to Send My people
away! instead of pleading Let My people go. These passages are the
literal translation from the Hebrew. The One New Man Bible includes more
than 4,000 footnotes and the massive one hundred seventy page Glossary
describes various first century Jewish customs and explains Hebrew
Scriptures, such as Leviticus 14, which on the surface is about
cleansing a leper, but has a much deeper meaning. Many Jewish sources
were studied to bring the Scriptures to life, including many modern as
well as ancient Jewish commentaries. Those studies bring real depth to
the subjects in the Glossary, but even more importantly they give
insight into the thinking of the New Testament authors, the Apostles,
and especially Y'shua. It is important for those of us reading in the
twenty-first century to understand what a word or expression meant to
those who wrote the passages in Bible times.
