About
Bible Homes Inc.
A nonprofit organization that translates the Bible, distributes it free of charge, and works to establish a place for the Word in every household.
The organization
Translated and distributed in the name of the organization
Bible Homes Inc. is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization registered in the United States, and its ministry name is Bible Homes Global Media Ministries. The Bible it publishes is the Yeshua Literal Version (YLV).
No individual is presented as the author of this work. All of it is undertaken in the name of the organization, and the organization bears responsibility for all of it — the translation, the original-language analysis, the applications, the ebooks and the audiobooks.
Organization detailsA single conviction
The Word of God gives a person life
The whole of our work may be summarized in this one sentence. It is not a slogan of our own devising; it is the testimony of a psalmist who wrote it from within his own affliction.
This is my comfort in my affliction, that your saying has given me life.Psalm 119:50 · Yeshua Literal Version
Our task, accordingly, is to remove whatever stands between a reader and the Word.
Beyond study alone
A community that practises the love the Word commands
The distribution of the Bible is not the end of our work. This organization exists so that gatherings which study and then disperse may become communities that practise the love the Word commands. Scripture does not merely commend love; it commands it.
A new commandment I give to you, that you agapao(love) one another, even as I have agapao(loved) you, that you also agapao(love) one another.
By this all men will know that you are My disciples, if you have agape(love) for one another.
John 13:34–35 · Yeshua Literal VersionLittle children, let us not love in logos(word) or talk but in deed and aletheia(truth).
1 John 3:18 · Yeshua Literal VersionTherefore encourage one another and build up one another, just as you also are doing.
1 Thessalonians 5:11 · Yeshua Literal VersionBear one another's burdens, and thereby fulfill the nomos(law) of Messiah(Christ).
Galatians 6:2 · Yeshua Literal VersionThis love is not to remain a matter of words, nor is it an exhortation addressed to a crowd; it is one person sustaining another. A heavy burden is not borne alone; it is borne by one another, so that no one is left to stand alone. This is the purpose of the shared table.
YLV Bible Study
Reading the Word and attending to one another at one table
A YLV Bible Study is not a gathering for reading only. Those who read Scripture together at one table also attend to one another's welfare at that same table. Reading and love are not separate undertakings but belong together, as they did in the earliest church.
And day by day, devoting themselves with one mind in the temple and breaking bread from house to house, they were sharing food with joy and singleness of kardia(heart, soul-domain),
Acts 2:46 · Yeshua Literal VersionThey gathered in the temple, and they gathered from house to house. Following the pattern of that first ekklesia, we encourage believers to gather from house to house and read the Word together, and we help them begin. The gathering need not be held on a Friday.
