Update! New Design for 2018

January 7th, 2018

It’s that time again where the look of TWTY needs an overhaul.

Those visiting the site the past few days will have seen the new design, plus a few times where the site was inaccessible due to my inability to code correctly!

Anyway, I’m done (I think), so here you go! Hopefully this should be easier to get around, plus the design is now universal (no separate ‘downloads’ etc)!

As always, any issues you may have, please let me know πŸ™‚

Update! Transcription of P72 & More

October 9th, 2017

Another Ancient Manuscript Transcription update: this time it’s 𝔓72, containing the letters designated 1 Peter, 2 Peter, and Jude!

I’ve also gone through the rest of the uploaded ancient MS transcripts, and brought them up to date with the format of current ones, and also amended some errors in transcription and the accompanying English translations.

As usual, find general info regarding the transcripts here, and download them all from here πŸ™‚

Update! Transcription of P66

July 22nd, 2017

Well it’s been a while (7 months to be exact), but there’s finally a new update for TWTY!

This one is the entire transcription and translation of Papyrus 66, a famous manuscript containing almost the entire eye-witness account of Yahuchanon (John).

Please find the manuscript in the list here.

I’ve also posted an update to Papyrus 115; mainly just sorted out a few errors in the colour-coding of the transcription, and also improved the translation somewhat. Find a link to the papyrus at the same link above. πŸ™‚

This leaves just six pre-4th century CE papyri to be transcribed and translated. They also happen to be rather large (largest is Papyrus 46 at 97 pages), so it will very likely be a while before these are up on TWTY.

As always though: watch this space!

Update! Loadsa stuff!

April 18th, 2016

Firstly – Happy New Year!

It’s been over a year since I last posted about things new on TWTY.

Unfortunately lots of IRL stuff got in the way of things this past year, and still ongoing (found out I had cataracts on my eyes last year: my right eye has been operated on; my left will be done at the end of April. Needless to say, not being able to see properly makes what I’ve been doing the past decade quite difficult!), but I hope this comes to its conclusion soon. πŸ™‚

Nevertheless, I have been using as much of my spare time as possible to continue doing things, and so here we are!

Essentially, I have done so many corrections to existing things on TWTY, that unless you’ve downloaded everything in the past 4 hours, then everything you currently have is out of date – this applies to the translations, ancient manuscripts, and especially any and all Dead Sea Scrolls! I lost track of which ones got updates, so I can’t provide a list, so if there’s any you’ve been looking at recently, I’d start with re-downloading that and taking a look through. May find a few things I have corrected since. πŸ™‚

That’s the already existing files out of the way – now for what’s going on “new stuff” wise!

There are three new DSS Manuscripts online now – X Joshua, X Judges, and F.Amos 1, all available at the usual place on the Downloads Page.

There’s also been a new section added on the downloads page – a TC Edition, with TC standing for Textual-Critical. These are the combined manuscripts of the Dead Sea Scrolls in order to form a full “Qumran Bible” of sorts, with any differences between the manuscripts noted in footnotes, with the reading of the Masoretic Hebrew, Greek Septuagint, and for the Torah, the Samaritan Pentateuch in the same variant.

Obviously I haven’t repeated the differences between the DSS and these other manuscripts in these TC Editions, as I’ve already done that in the main Dead Sea Scrolls transcriptions. I’ve been updating this new section over the past year, and have only got four books left to do (Leviticus, Deuteronomy, Psalms, and Isaiah). I hope to have these done by the end of the year, but as always, this is liable to change. πŸ™‚

Next up is a new TWTY E-sword module, containing the Version 1 Translation of the RC/NT found here on TWTY. Well I say that, I still have yet to finish adding Luke, John, and Acts to the Module, but all the rest of the books are contained within.

If you don’t know what E-Sword is, pop on over to the E-Sword website and take a look. Along with TWTY module is the Module installer programme, to allow you to easily install TWTY E-sword module into E-Sword without much bother.

As I was going through the translations whilst creating this module, it allowed me to do some updates to the translations, which have all been added to the E-Sword module, the Website, and the PDF’s of the translations.

Download all the Version 1 PDF’s and the E-Sword module here.

Yet another update comes to you via a visitor to TWTY, who is very kindly converting the Dead Sea Scrolls files into BibleWorks database files. With their permission I am putting them up on TWTY for others to download and use with their version of BibleWorks. Currently have the Genesis Manuscripts and the Great Isaiah Scroll (1QIsaa) complete. I will post updates periodically when new files are added. Get the files (including instructions on how to import them to your BibleWorks) here.

Finally, we have a small addition to TWTY, and that is an XML version of the Dead Sea Scrolls manuscripts. XML has so many amazing uses I wouldn’t be able to list them all, but if you know what XML is, then you’ll enjoy this update. Only the one ready at the moment, but as always, I shall add others when I’ve done them. πŸ™‚ 4Q82g Habakkuk XML.

Phew! That’s it – all things updated/new have been submitted for your pleasure!

As with everything, feel at liberty to use any and all things on TWTY freely and without constraints, and ANY issues you find, don’t hesitate to contact me using either the Contact page, or by posting on the forums πŸ™‚

Edit:
The E-Sword and BibleWorks Modules should be able to be downloaded now. Apologies for the error with that!

New Design for 2015!

January 3rd, 2015

Well, the new Gregorian Year has rolled around, so I thought it was time to finally release the new design I’d been working on for TWTY πŸ™‚

It’s a lot simpler, cleaner, brighter, and should actually change size with regards to how large your screen is, so should be perfect for reading on Mobile / Cell phones / Tablets / Phablets / whateverelseyoucanthingof!

I’m still sorting out a few bugs/tweaking the design here and there, but it should be fine for getting around with no issues πŸ™‚

Godcast: Episode 8 (oh, and a quickie)

November 20th, 2013

Just a quick update to let everyone know that Godcast: Episode 8 is now up on YouTube, as well as all the usual links on Godcast Website πŸ™‚

There was also a “Quickie” video uploaded, with my fellow-host going through the introduction in the Bible he found in a hotel room. Give it a watch/listen as well

Godcast: Episode 7

October 1st, 2013

It’s finally ready! Episode 7 of “Godcast” is now on the web!

This is our final Genesis 1 episode (although I’m sure I’ll be referring to it again in the future), before we kick start off a new series on the eyewitness account of Marcus.

Stay turned for more updates – and not just Godcast specific ones πŸ™‚

Downtime & Update

July 4th, 2012

First of all, my apologies for the downtime. Unfortunately, TWTY website was compromised by some malicious software, which effectively caused me to have to change webservers, and to also rebuild the website.

Thankfully, I had backups of practically everything, so now the site should be restored in full.

My apologies also to those who’ve had difficulty with the links in the Downloads page. They should now be back to full working order πŸ™‚

I used this opportunity to change the address that the Forums were on (forum.thewaytoyahuweh.com is now http://forums.thewaytoyahuweh.com), and to also revamp the forums with a new look πŸ™‚

Coincidentally, the downtime coincided with a new update that I was going to post up on TWTY, which I am now doing: Questioning Paul Review Part 2: The Eyewitness Accounts/The Messiah’s Words.

There will also be open discussion on this in the forum in the following thread: Forum Discussion.

New section on TWTY: Apocrypha

February 15th, 2012

Well, I’m either insane, bored, or just eager to fill up all of my time with numerous other projects, but there’s another new section just started on TWTY today: The Apocrypha Section (which also includes Pseudepigraphical and Deuterocanonical books under an all-inclusive title). The page more or less explains what I’m doing, but a quick overview will suffice (ie, quoting from the page I just linked to =P)

Branching out from the usual β€˜Scriptural’ books that people read, there are actually several other books, written by Jews or early followers of the Messiah & Gnostics, that didn’t make it into the Biblical Canon, yet are still quite interesting to read. Unfortunately, whilst there are already translations available for such works, they’re either very old and sound almost KJV-ish (example:Β http://tinyurl.com/6wnz9x4), or not easily readable or downloadable (example: http://tinyurl.com/7qk7byk). I have sought to rectify this, bringing a new, up to date translation of the underlying Greek and/or Hebrew texts, plus allowing them to be easily downloaded, read, and studied to see just exactly how they may differ from the Canonised books, and determine exactly why they didn’t receive Canoninity.

There will be three versions of each one: First) The sole English translation; Second) The underlying Greek and/or Hebrew text used only; and Third) Parallel English and underlying Language, in verse order.

These can either be accessible from the link above, or from the usual Downloads Page πŸ™‚
