About the MeekRaker Series of Publications If one considers God's word as a long story, then it is a story with many many "versions." It must be noted that these versions of His Word are openly called versions; and are not referred to as translations. Why would a difference of opinion about the best English synonyms for Hebrew or Greek words, not simply be considered as different translations? It is not a difference of opinion about the best English synonym. Rather it is a difference of opinion about the meaning of these various original words. Thus the various "versions" represent the best English words for that which those who are or were in charge of these "versions," believe or believed the "facts" are. These versions are written with preconceived notions about the meanings; and words are chosen to best reflect these preconceptions-whether synonymic to the original Hebrew and Greek terminology or not. Thus these versions deliberately add dross to the otherwise pure silver. Mr. James Abraham Garfield, our 20th president is credited with having said: "The truth will set you free, but first it will make you miserable." The MeekRaker series of publications is concerned only with "certain truth" or epistemē. The original Hebrew and Greek are utilized in order to be as objective as is possible. And we do not utilize any "modernized versions" of Strong's Concordance in any way, but only the original 1890 edition. Our objective is to surgically remove the dross that has accumulated for many centuries, allowing only the original pure metal to shine forth.
