The Mirror Bible is a paraphrase translation from the original Greek text of the Bible.

The Mirror brings a fresh perspective to the table and while the detailed shades of every Greek word has been closely studied, it has been done with the person of Jesus Christ Himself and His finished work as the proper interpretative lens. Christ is the ultimate text and each page of The Mirror drips with grace as we discover our own identity restored in the very image of the invisible God.

The current edition includes select portions of the New Testament. The rest of the New Testament and portions of the Old Testament are planned to be completed at a future date.

DIVINE EMBRACE Religion thrives on two lies: distance and delay. Divine Embrace celebrates the initiative that God undertook to cancel every possible definition of distance. Emmanuel is introduced to a hostile humanity as the lover of their lives. Their sins did not distract from his extravagant love. Our calendar acknowledges the fact that 2000 years ago human history was divided into a before and after Christ. While the vast expanse cannot even begin to measure or define him, the invisible God of creation has made his image and likeness known in the only possible space wherein his being can be fully and accurately unveiled: human life. The mission of Jesus was not to begin the Christian religion but to reveal and redeem the image and likeness of God in human form. He did not come as an example for us but of us. Much of popular Christian doctrine reduce the life and teaching of Jesus to yet another 'display-window' message, while the very intent of God was to uncover the blueprint life of our design in Christ as in a mirror, where he is introduced to us not as Christ in history, or Christ in outer space, nor even as Christ in a future event, but as Christ in you This alone completes your every expectation Col 1:27. In John 14:20 Jesus announces the conclusion of his amazing mission: his brilliant act of salvation was not to reserve a place for a few in a distant heaven, but to redeem our oneness He boldly declares, "I and the Father are one If you have seen me you have seen the Father." Anything we thought that we knew about God that is unlike Jesus is not God. "In that day (the day that you hear the good news) you will know that I am in my Father and you in me and I in you " He is closer to you than your next breath Now distance is replaced with oneness. Oneness is not the end result of our diligent striving or years of struggling to get closer to God; oneness is the fruit of his labor and initiative and announces our moment by moment point of departure in this life. Intimate romance is ours now and for all eternity "He is not far from each one of us " says Paul to a group of pagan worshipers in Athens. Acts 17:23-31. God is not more Emmanuel to some than what he is to others In the light of the good news there can no longer remain an 'us and them' Nothing that you can ever do can make you more God's, and nothing that God can ever do can make him more yours The thought of you intrigues your Maker with delight Faith has nothing to do with our ability to concentrate on God for at least five uninterrupted minutes; faith is my glorious awakening to the fact that my Maker is mindful of me He cannot get me out of his mind Jesus is what God believes about you Jesus is God's mind made up about the human race Awake to innocence, awake to oneness His words are kisses; his kisses words. Everything about him delights me, thrills me through and through Song of Songs 5:14,15 (The Message)

The word theology means the Logic of God. God does not expect us to respond in an unintelligent way to the greatest revelation of knowledge and understanding that man could possibly perceive; nor to remain in a haze of confusion concerning our origin, our identity, our eternal destiny and our present standing before him. He has made it possible for us to come into the same understanding, to enjoy an equal appreciation of that which he himself enjoys. True companionship only makes sense in an environment of mutual compatibility. The mission of Jesus was not to add to the mystery of Deity but to bring absolute clarity regarding the person of God as the Father of the human race "If you have seen me, you have seen the Father. Any idea that we could have had of God that is unlike Jesus would not be true about God In Jesus the forgotten Father of the human race introduces himself again as our only true Father. Eph 4:5 There is only one faith Not what we believe about God but what God believes about us Eph 4:6 There is only one God. He remains the ultimate Father of the universe. We are because he is. He is present in all; he is above all, through all, and in all.(He is not far from each one of us; in him we live and move and have our being. We are indeed his offspring. Acts 17:24-28])

Life sometimes seems to be like a mighty magnet, which compels one almost in remote control fashion. Yet if karma has the final say, why would it appear that some people are luckier than others? Our own thoughts, words, choices, habits and attitudes continue to turn and empower circumstances, events and people, which in turn touch and shape our destiny. Yet we often find ourselves trapped in confusion where life no longer seems to make any sense. I believe that within the horizon of our hearts, the voice of our spirit echoes truth. We are designed to explore and discover our inmost self, the wealth of light and life within our reach. Even the sense of hopelessness in a crisis would prompt us to dig deeper to find a rock-solid foundation inside of us. I trust that this writing will challenge and stir you to the core of your being and your beliefs to remove every trace of the substitute, man-made self-image with its glorious head of golden glitter and its silvery bust and bronze body. The little stone that was cut out by no human hand is destined to strike that image of vanity and piety on its feet of iron and clay and become in its place a Rock that fills the whole earth; the true image and likeness of God, restored and revealed in ordinary human life. (Daniel 2:32-35) My sincere desire is that my message will accurately unveil the mystery of Christ in its most complete context: You Col 4:4 Mirror Bible

Gente que ha dejado de leer la Biblia o aun nunca la han leido dice acerca de The Mirror / El Espejo: "Nunca he leido algo que me impactara tan profundamente, es una nueva Biblia, tengo muchas ganas de compartirla con mis amigos " La Biblia The Mirror / El Espejo es parafraseada del texto original Griego. Cada detalle y matices del significado de cada palabra Griega han sido tenidos en cuenta a fin de ser consistente con el contexto de cada capitulo dentro del mas amplio espectro de la epistola, y teniendo en mente todo el contexto de Jesus como el revelador y redentor de la imagen y semejanza del Dios invisible en forma humana, lo cual es lo que el mensaje de la Biblia refleja. A fin de asistir al lector en su estudio, he identificado numericamente cada palabra Griega con su significado mas cercano en Espanol dentro del comentario en cursiva que sigue al versiculo. Esto es para crear una comparacion directa de las palabras entre los dos idiomas. Muchas palabras usadas en traducciones previas han adoptaos significados en el tiempo que se desvian del pensamiento original. Las palabras individuales pueden influenciar grandemente la interpretacion de cualquier conversacion. Por anos han existido errores, inconscientes o deliberados, fueron repetidos y han reforzado a las instituciones religiosas de la epoca para influenciar, manipular y aun abusar a las personas. Consideren por ejemplo la palabra metanoia, que tiene dos componentes, meta, junto con y nous, mente, sugiriendo un cambio de mente radical. Esta palabra ha sido siempre traducida como "arrepentimiento o arrepentirse," la cual viene del antiguo Castellano que la recibio del Latin poenitere=penitencia. Entonces ellos le agregaron del Latin re=intensificar, a fin de conseguir una conciencia culpable por el pecado. Re-poenitere llego a ser nuestro "arrepentimiento." Este gran engano condujo a las pervertidas doctrinas de las indulgencias, donde gente ingenua, sencilla e ignorante creian que necesitaban comprar el favor de un Dios enfadado. La mayoria de las catedrales asi como muchos ministerios fueron construidos con dinero de la "culpa." La Biblia es un libro peligroso Ha confundido y dividido mas personas que cualquier otro escrito. Las Escrituras han sido utilizadas para justificar algunas de las mas grandes atrocidades en la historia humana. Personas fueron torturadas, quemadas hasta la muerte y multitud fueron asesinadas sobre la base de lo que alguien entendio de las Escrituras Jesus, Pablo, y creyentes a traves de todos los tiempos sufrieron su mas grande oposicion por parte de aquellos que conocian las Escrituras. Si este es un documento es tan peligroso, como acercarnos a ese Libro? The Mirror / El Espejo revela el codigo de la Encarnacion como la llave que abre el misterio del mensaje de las Escrituras. El romance de los tiempos es revelado aqui "
