Died with Christ

The author has been studying and teaching the Bible for over 40 years. In the space of those years, the availability of Bible study tools has exploded allowing one to learn at levels impracticable a few short years ago. Taking advantage of these tools, the author began comparing several English translations to their respective Greek manuscripts. Finding several deviations, one has recently stood out - the verbs. For example, in my Bible, in several verses, the adjective "dead" is found where the verb "died" ought to be. A verb tells the reader who did the action, the time period in which the action was performed, whether the action is ongoing and whether or not that action has relevance today. The adjective does not convey any of that information. Why did the translators of my Bible not "declare...all the counsel of God"? This book is a result of researching several key verbs - "died" being one of many. I pray that it will edify the reader and bring him into a richer understanding of having "died with Christ". The author is an engineer by trade and resides in San Antonio, TX. He maintains a blog: www.sonsheirs.net which contains numerous articles on various Bible subjects.

The author also penned "The Preaching of the Cross, When?", which addressed the question: When was the cross revealed to mankind, not just as a fact, but as Good News?
