Right up front, it is Important to clarify what John Clark Studies (JCS) IS NOT! We DO NOT Judge Anyone. JCS IS NOT looking to GET anything whatsoever from you. We are not looking to GET you to Change Your Ways. We are not looking to GET you to Send Donations. JCS will never ask you for Donations. JCS IS NOT looking to GET you to Agree with the Conclusions of The Studies Found Here. Everything Found on This Site is Presented as a Gift Only. JCS is simply Sharing Research, Completed and sometimes in-progress.
The Objective of John Clark Studies (JCS) is to determine what The Words of The WORD Actually "say" as opposed to what others "believe" they "mean". This includes the Translators of King James who provided us with the Original 1611 Edition of the King James Version (KJV) of "The Bible". The Mistranslations of the Numerous Versions of the KJV, including that original 1611, are numerous and egregious. The KJV is not The WORD of Yehovah (God). Rather, it is someone else's Translation of The WORD.
Please understand that JCS Considers The Bible to be The MOST IMPORTANT Possession on the Face of the Planet for anyone whose only language is English. The Bible is The ONLY Window available to us to "get to" The WORD of Yehovah. This Web Site is all about Climbing Through that Window into The WORD.
But unless you have an Interlinear Bible, your Bible is NOT The WORD of Yehovah. An Interlinear Bible includes the original Hebrew, Aramaic, and Greek; Man's Only Access to The Original WORD of Yehovah. The manuscripts available are all we have and JCS Accepts them as Truth until Yehovah provides a superior replacement. JCS uses numerous tools to Dig into the Original Words to determine the Correct Translation and Usage of each. This is the only way anyone who does not know the original languages can Uncover the Truths Found in The WORD. The Studies presented on this site are the Research and Conclusions of this Digging. These Truths bring great joy to JCS. It is hoped that you also find Joy in Truth.
John Clark Studies (JCS) is designed, owned, created, operated, and maintained solely by one semi-feeble elderly man, John Clark1, with input, feedback, and Contributions from brothers and sisters in faith. JCS loves nothing more than Digging Into The Words of The WORD :).
The dream is of the day when the tools needed to dig into The Words of The WORD will be readily available. So many times, a belief is formulated based on the incorrect understanding of a single Word in Scripture. It is very time consuming to dig all the way down on every single Word. There are so many more Words to cover :). If only the tools were readily available!
To that end, this website is being created.
- The primary objective is the creation of tools that can be used to get to data not generally available elsewhere. The first tool is the inclusion of available Bibles for Quick Access. The second tool is now ready for testing and provides information instantly, that is not available elsewhere without time and effort. The JCS Biblical Morphology Reports provide gramatical evidence on the original Words of Scripture; including part of speech, person, plural, etc. Hebrew Morphology includes Proper Names and gender as well. Please note the About & Caveats. The Reports may have small shortcomings but even then, they are very informative.
- The secondary objective is to Organize and File Bible Studies and make them available to Others.
- The third objective is a dream. JCS wants to create a computer generated Bible. This project is well under way. Major roadblocks exist regarding relating data from two different Bible datasets at a 100% level. The difficulties of relating these English language datasets is next to impossible because of all the corruption over the years. The numerous versions, the varying number of English words, mistranslations, inserted words, corrections to Strong's original tag numbers, and more. But down the road, time permitting and Yahweh willing, it may become a reality.
The John Clark Studies Web Site is currently under construciton. It includes very few Studies, an assortment of Bibles (including the JCS Bibles), and a number of John's Favorite Tools.
Because JCS prefers to spend time Studying The WORD rather than Documenting it, little time is left to dedicate to johnclarkstudies.bible. Fortunately, John is retired and during the course of his career, he learned all the tools needed to make this web site a reality. JCS considers that to be one of the greatest blessings of his life. But, very little time is left to maintain the site or correspond with others. If you would like to Contact John Clark Studies, please use the JCS Contact Page. A Response is not guaranteed but John will try his best to respond to all serious inquiries. Feedback on the Web Site is Welcome! Reports of any Errors found is especially appreciated.
The image on the Home Page is a Facsimile of the Great Isaiah Scroll - Image licensed for use by Facsimile Editions Limited, London, England.
The Isaiah Scroll is the only complete biblical book to survive among the Dead Sea Scrolls. Found in Cave 1 at Qumran in 1947, it dates from about 120 BCE. The text of the scroll hardly differs from the version used today and demonstrates the degree to which the text of the Bible was faithfully transmitted over the centuries.
Thank you for visiting johnclarkstudies.bible. Your Visit is a Blessing to Both of us.
