On today's episode the guys go over the topic of Bible Translations. Why are there so many different versions? How do we know which one to trust? Since there are so many to choose from which one is best for me?

Here are some general rules on what you should look for in the translation philosophy behind the bible you choose to use as your primary and secondary bible. 

The translators should hold to a high view of the Bible; they should hold to the verbal plenary inspiration of scripture, the infallibility of scripture, the inerrancy of scripture, and that the scriptures are the everlasting words of God. 

We must always honor God, because He breathed out the very words of the bible. 

God spoke those words intentionally and with he chose them deliberate purpose. 

We should do our best to honor the Word of God that has been handed down to us by the Apostles by way of the Inspiration of the Holy Spirit. 

With any bible translation method, the translation should not result in a mere interpretation or a paraphrase. 

The translations team should seek to stay as close as possible to the original manuscripts intent as they translate the text into a modern language. 

The translators should strive to keep the literal words, the figures of speech and the sentences structures as accurate and as literal as possible, while at the same time making them readable and understandable.

On today's episode the guys discuss the biblical and historical doctrine of The Trinity.

We've included the Definition of the Council of Chalcedon (451 A.D)

"Therefore, following the holy fathers, we all with one accord teach men to acknowledge one and the same Son, our Lord Jesus Christ, at once complete in Godhead and complete in manhood, truly God and truly man, consisting also of a reasonable soul and body; of one substance with the Father as regards his Godhead, and at the same time of one substance with us as regards his manhood; like us in all respects, apart from sin; as regards his Godhead, begotten of the Father before the ages, but yet as regards his manhood begotten, for us men and for our salvation, of Mary the Virgin, the God-bearer; one and the same Christ, Son, Lord, Only-begotten, recognized in two natures, without confusion, without change, without division, without separation; the distinction of natures being in no way annulled by the union, but rather the characteristics of each nature being preserved and coming together to form one person and subsistence, not as parted or separated into two persons, but one and the same Son and Only-begotten God the Word, Lord Jesus Christ; even as the prophets from earliest times spoke of him, and our Lord Jesus Christ himself taught us, and the creed of the fathers has handed down to us."

On today's episode the guys discuss the origin of the Shieldwall ministry.

Shieldwall started in 2014 as a Bible study for young adult men in the Northern Virginia area. Meeting every Saturday morning at 9 am in various coffee shops, these young men were committed to the gospel of Jesus Christ, prayer and the study of God’s Word. Those who are involved with our Bible studies seek renewal and reformation in their own hearts, homes, towns and churches. 

We believe that Mankind was created by God to glorify God and to enjoy Him forever and that Mankind best understands how to do that by studying and applying the Word of God to his or her life. We believe that biblical faith in Jesus Christ is inherently doctrinal, practical and devotional.

We recognize and believe the time-tested Word of God to be our sufficient and final authority in all matters of faith and practice. In addition to that we believe and affirm the Apostle’s Creed, the 1689 Confession of Faith, and the New Hampshire Confession of Faith are faithful summaries of important biblical teachings. 

We affirm the local Church is the primary source of discipleship and spiritual growth & all Christians should belong to one.

In 2017, sensing a call to encourage and strengthen the local church’s discipleship efforts, Shieldwall modified its reach and mission as a ministry to encourage and mobilize the local Church to make an impact in their own communities with the Gospel of Jesus Christ from Sunday to Sunday.

In 2018 the leadership team started The Shieldwall Podcast... Welcome to the Wall!
