Huddle 'Up The Church

       Unique among the teams competing on the fields of life during this hallway of time, was the Church. Their foundation originates in a land much more eastward than the Normans and Saxons. Palestina was the franchise location and interestingly, one man seemed to start the game plan.

       My Y-Chromosome Phylogenetic Tree would place these guys as haplogroup J. Starting where they began, branches north and south evolved westward joining with a host of other haplogroups bringing a variety of combinations of Y-DNA! A lot will be said using the comment section of this post. However, it seems that one cannot place graphs, pictures, drawings, etc., in the comment section, so now it would be the place to present the key concepts of the Church in the documents so envisioned.

       So here goes. First, the very foundation of Christianity can be shown in the original text as follows. The intent is to give the recorded text as written in the Greek.

       You can visualize and read the text as written.

 

       The next figure gives the same text, only with an English meaning, written for each word in the Greek. This gives a translation to the Greek words which you can compare word for word. No comments from me!
