A live show hosted by #GregStafford weekdays and Saturdays starting between 5:30 and 6:30 AM PST and lasting for about 20-45 minutes as we discuss biblical and other ancient texts which are grouped together as they relate to specific subjects.

This show will be about #1John 1:1-4 according to #TheGreatMessage translation:

1:1 With reference to the #Word of life, who was from the Beginning [compare Genesis 1:1; John 1:1; see also the note to 1 John 3:11], whom we have actually heard, whom we have seen with our own eyes, whom we watched, even the one whom our hands touched.

1:2 The life was revealed and we have seen, and we bear witness, and we announce to you the unending life which [or, if a title for the Word, “the Never Ending Life who”] was with the Father [compare Proverbs 8:22-31; 30:4; John 1:1; 8:26; 17:5; 1 John 1:2] and who was revealed to us [compare John 1:14].

1:3 The one whom we have seen and whom we have heard we are announcing also to you, so that even you may have a close association with us. In fact, our close association is in the company of the Father and his Son, Jesus Christ.

1:4 We are writing these things in order that our [or, in some mss., “your”] happiness may be made complete [compare the wording here with John 16:24].
