It’s past time for all who name the name of Jesus to depart from the apostasy of fake “bibles” and to read and study the real Bible, the King James Bible. it doesn’t matter that your lame fake “pastor” uses a corrupt “bible.”
It’s a pretty easy decision to use the King James Bible when we see the difference, the absolute attack on God by the enemy who removed HIS words (Revelation 22:18-19).
WHERE O WHERE is the conviction? Wow. EXPLAIN why this is not a big deal. God says it’s a big deal. Read Revelation 22:18-19 and repent. Please explain why the BLOOD of Jesus is removed from your “bible” in Colossian 1:14. Also, please explain to us all why Romans 8:1 is chopped in half in that fairy tale “bible” you read? 4 Verse Comparison
ROMANS 8:1 is chopped in half in the fake news “bibles.” Did you know that?
If you say that GOD’S Word doesn’t matter, He’s calling you to repent now and get saved (Revelation 22:18-19).
Example: To say the new “bibles” are good is to say that the BLOOD of Jesus doesn’t matter to you. If you read a new “bible” instead of the King James Bible, go see if “through his BLOOD” is removed from Colossians 1:14 in that atrocity. No, it’s removed. Is that okay with you? It’s no okay with the LORD. Do you claim to be washed in the blood of Jesus without which no man can be saved? (Hebrews 9:22)
The words of JESUS were removed from Matthew 17:21 in the fake “bibles.” That bother you?

“Christians fighting against fellow Christians. Not good. Let’s pray for each other. After all, God still has the final judgment.”
REPLY:
Yes GOD is the JUDGE and He has spoken and His arch enemy has corrupted that which HE spoke – the new “bibles.” Telling the truth is mercy not withholding it. Exposing the enemy of the LORD is not “fighting with fellow Christians” but rather helping them…. You have many things to learn friend.

“I also have the Interlinear Hebrew & Greek Bible which gives a word-for-word exact translation.” Anna
REPLY:
Yes amen. I have it also and have taken these things straight to it and personally found that the King James Bible is always correct. I use it as a reference. Comparing confirmed that the KJB is a direct translation as opposed to the “dynamic equivalence” used by Satan’s scholars who added their own thoughts into the false “bibles.”
Let me go on record to declare this self-evident truth: YOU have some serious heart issues with God if you can see how Satan has butchered God’s words and still justify reading those garbage per-version fake “bibles.” It’s not just the NIV either but rather ALL the new versions that are corrupt. In this post we’re going to take a look at just 4 verses, comparing them side-by-side.
Most modern “preachers” use Satan’s “bibles” instead of the King James Bible and YET WE WONDER why the modern church world is completely apostate?????
It’s interesting how some are proud of “using many versions” of the Bible. Well God told us He isn’t confused – so that must mean they are confused! (1 Corinthians 14:33) He preserved His Word for us in our language (Psalms 12:6-7). Is that every English version? Can’t be. Shocking 4 Verse KJV Comparison
EVER notice that most of those men who defend the new versions won’t man-up and tell you which per-version they read, even when asked? SMH
SO MANY frauds, amateurs, claiming to be the authority on the Bible. Very few of them care to learn a few things. They insist they know it all when they are completely ignorant of the truth about God’s Word and how He kept His promise to preserve it to us in our language (Psalms 12:6-7). This reveals some serious depth of darkness these people are in. If they are casting doubt on God’s Word, they are under the power of SATAN who’s the first one to cast doubt on God’s Word (Genesis 3:1). And, we “know them by their FRUIT.” (Matthew 7:16, 20) True repentance needed.
OKAY, I KNOW SOME MAY BE SPURNED … MY PERSONAL INTENT IS FOR YOUR SPIRITUAL WELL BEING WITH CHRIST …. THEREFORE THE DESIRE TO HELP YOU SEE WHAT THE TRUE, PRESERVED WORD OF GOD FOR THE ENGLISH SPEAKING PEOPLES OF THE WORLD IS (PS 12:6-7)
IF you think that after the Garden of Eden Satan ceased changing the Word of God, I’ve got some land to sell you off the coast of Florida (Genesis 2:17; 3:4; Jeremiah 23:36; Mark 4:15, etc.). – “for ye have perverted the words of the living God, of the LORD of hosts our God.” (Jeremiah 23:36) Think: new “bible” versions!
SO, YOU BELIEVE SATAN DOESN’T WORK (HIS EVIL) ANY LONGER? WOW, DIDN’T THE BIBLE GUARANTEE US THAT SATAN WOULD WORK EVEN HARDER IN THE FINAL DAYS? 2 TIMOTHY 3:13 AND REVELATION 12:12???
YOU ARE GOING TO SENSE A LARGE AND BLESSED DIFFERENCE WHEN YOU BEGIN STUDYING THE KING JAMES BIBLE EVERY MORNING ….. CLEAN AND PURE …. ONLY THE CLEAN, CLEAR, PURE WORD OF GOD CAN CLEAN AND PURIFY OUR HEARTS!!!! MATT. 5:8 ANYONE?
LET’S GET BACK TO THE KING JAMES BIBLE SAINTS. THE DIFFERENCE IN YOUR OWN LIFE WILL BE AMAZING. IT’S THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN A PLASTIC KNIFE AND A SWORD! GOD IS GOOD AND THE DEVIL IS A LIAR!
WHAT is the “foundations” for our learning about God? His words, right? Are we so blind as to think Satan, who from the Garden has tampered with and cast doubt upon God’s Word would not be involved in using wolves to change God’s Word today? That is the height of gullibility and ignorance friend.
As if there’s any Gospel at all outside of Christ!
AS IF THERE’S ANY GOSPEL WITHOUT CHRIST!!!! Note how this satanic “bible” removes Christ from His own Word – Romans 1:16 “For I am not ashamed of the gospel…” (NIV) Now let’s read Romans 1:16 in the King James Bible: “For I am not ashamed of the gospel OF CHRIST: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek.” (Romans 1:16) The LORD Jesus is most likely removed from many if not all the modern corruption “bibles” because they all come from the same few corrupted manuscripts.
“If the foundations be destroyed, what can the righteous do?” Psalms 11:3
WHEN you desire to be healthy in your body, the first think you do is switch from poisonous soft drinks to good water, right? When you choose to be a man of truth, the first thing you should do is switch to the King James Bible from the devil’s counterfeit fake “bibles.”
DELUSIONMENT: WHEN you corner new version “bible” defenders with the myriad of missing words and verses in their fake news “bible,” some of them will go so far as to say that the King James Bible added those words. If that weren’t unbelievable enough, recently I had just such a rebel tell me that the devil caused the King James Bible translators to add the divine command and word “repent” to the King James Bible over 40 times. He said this after he was cornered with the fact that the New King James version removed the word “repent” over 40 times. Amazing! NEW KING JAMES 666 COUNTERFEIT
The Never Ending Scam of New Bible Versions
Every month or two there’s yet another $cam version of the Bible that comes out from some person or committee that pretends and puts themselves up as having authority. Could all these versions possibly be divinely inspired and yet all different?
It’s real simple: We have the preserved Word of God in the Authorized, the King James Bible. All other English Bibles are unnecessary and in most cases if not all, diabolical counterfeits. Bible Versions: Are there Significant Doctrinal Differences?
HARDBALL: To a man boasting of going back to the Hebrew and Greek, a man who refused to tell me what “bible” version he reads when asked repeatedly…. who was downing the KJB and calling me a hypocrite, the reply was as follows:
God gave us His Word in our language as He promised to do specifically – Psalms 12:6-7. Anyone can reference the Hebrew and Greek. You are no hero. You still didn’t answer my question…. those sissy “bibles” have made a sissy out of you haven’t they?
Please explain why the BLOOD of Jesus is removed from your “bible” in Colossian 1:14. Also, please explain to us all why Romans 8:1 is chopped in half in that fairy tale “bible” you read?
TODAY we hear many in leadership cast doubt on God’s preserved Word by saying things like “A better translation would have been,” etc. In other words, they know better than the most profound scholars ever assembled by King James as God ordained him to do. When you do the research, you will find that at 5-8 years of age, many of those scholars knew numerous languages and were prolific in Hebrew / Greek. Yet we have lightweight so-called theologians today foolishly pretending to be superior in knowledge to those substantially expert Hebrew and Greek scholars whom the LORD raised up to fulfill the promise He gave us in Psalms 12:6-7 to preserve His Word to the English speaking peoples of the world. If this weren’t so pitiful it would be laughable. These pseudo scholars today do not speak or write in Hebrew or Greek and yet pretend to be wiser than those who knew those languages on a firsthand basis.
HOW can you possibly say you believe ANYTHING God has said if you don’t believe we actually have His preserved, perfect Word today? Impossible. Such a person is a snake who has chosen to reject Christ while posing as a “scholar” offering “higher criticism” when he’s/she’s really a sham-cloaked rebel. Hell awaits. Such a person picks and chooses what part(s) of God’s Word he/she wants to embrace and what he/she wants to reject …. just like evil Jehoiakim who used a penknife to cut out and burn what parts of God’s Word convicted him! (Jeremiah 36) Repent. Read Hebrews 3-4.
“HIGHER CRITICISM” OR “TEXTUAL CRITICISM” ARE SIMPLY TERMS USED TO JUSTIFY THE UTTER AND ARROGANT REBELLION BEHIND THE QUESTIONING AND ALTERING OF GOD’S PRESERVED WORD WHICH WE HAVE IN THE KING JAMES BIBLE (PSALMS 12:6-7). THIS “CONFUSION” IS NOT OF GOD BUT IS CLEARLY THE WORK OF SATAN. “FOR GOD IS NOT THE AUTHOR OF CONFUSION, BUT OF PEACE, AS IN ALL CHURCHES OF THE SAINTS.” (1 CORINTHIANS 14:33) THESE ARE CHILDREN OF SATAN WHO ARE SELF-SERVING, SELF-APPOINTED “SCHOLARS” AND WE KNOW THIS BECAUSE SATAN IS THE ONE WHO BEGAN QUESTIONING GOD’S WORD AND ADDING TO IT (GENESIS 2:17; 3:4, 1). CASTING DOUBT ON GOD’S WORD IS WHAT THESE WOLVES WHO WEAR SHEEP’S CLOTHING ARE DOING TODAY WHICH CLEARLY PROVES THEIR FATHER IS THE DEVIL HIMSELF (JOHN 8:44).
I have no doubt that sin and an evil spirit are behind the questioning of God’s Word (Genesis 3:1)…..
Recently had a lengthy discussion with a pastor who uses the new versions. He listed about 8-10 of them that he uses. Whew, saints, it becomes so obvious how the church world is in such disarray when we see what these seminarians have been led to believe and what they’ve allowed instead of getting into God’s Word honestly and diligently.
NEVER let some corruptED seminarian dupe override the common sense God gave you!
This particular man was teachable. He agreed to allow me to drop ship him a copy of Gail Riplinger’s book New Age Bible Versions …. And also I referenced and gave him the Bible Versions Issue category on the ministry site to peer into on this important, intriguing issue that faces us…. Anyone can usually get a cheap copy on ebay or amazon or straight from the publisher at AVpublications.com
SO FAR …. Not many of those who have cast doubt on God’s Word bother to humble themselves and repent of believing lies. They forged ahead in their dark ignorance, swearing they had the truth when it’s more than obviously erroneous.
CLEAR proof that when we call men to the LORD, we should use HIS Word and not a corrupted version of it. Also, we must get them into the real Word and not a cheap, corrupted counterfeit. Read this passage as a whole…. Revelation 22:17-19 ….
Rev 22:17 And the Spirit and the bride say, Come. And let him that heareth say, Come. And let him that is athirst come. And whosoever will, let him take the water of life freely.
Rev 22:18 For I testify unto every man that heareth the words of the prophecy of this book, If any man shall add unto these things, God shall add unto him the plagues that are written in this book:
Rev 22:19 And if any man shall take away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God shall take away his part out of the book of life, and out of the holy city, and from the things which are written in this book.

Totally false. WHO gave them divine permission to “expound” on what God stated using their “private interpretation”? Not God and they are going to receive the plagues of the book of Revelation which includes the lake of fire (Rev 22:18-19). It’s called “private interpretation” which frauds perpetrate – “Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools.” (Romans 1:22)
Jesus is the English rendering of the Hebrew Jeshua. You are part of a cult. NAME CULT WARNING: When people get off on this “Yahuah,” “Yah,” etc. stuff and say the English word JESUS is illegitimate, that’s where I cut em off. Delusional. They allowed themselves to be deceived in this matter by foolish judaizing devils who don’t know the LORD and have rejected their own Messiah. Dare you argue with the reality that believers have cast out devils in the name of JESUS for centuries???? Done it myself, many times! You think Satan knows who JESUS is???? Repent devil. Name Cult Warning
Personally I never never use the word “old” when referring to God’s Word because the KJB is the Word of God to the English speaking peoples and as such is ever living and ever relevant (1 Pet 1:23; Mark 13:31).

“You think those errors in the NIV and new versions make the Bible a “poisoned stream?” I think God uses those versions just fine. For example, I used the NIV for many years and grew tremendously, becoming an ordained missionary, youth Pastor, elder, deacon, teacher, Pastor, etc. Using NIV did not give me a bad theology or make me think less of His blood. Sadly I find this arguing for KJV-only or otherwise more divisive and a turn off to everyone, than beneficial.
REPLY:
Exposing Satan’s obvious counterfeits is only a turn off to those who don’t really love the truth. And what the Word say about those who aren’t “valiant for the truth”? (2 Thess 2:9-12) Your defense of Satan’s works against Christ make it obvious that your heart is not right with God. You are defending and promoting Satan while claiming to be a man of God. I find you a man who is greatly lacking holy conviction. Your personal, subjective experience doesn’t change the very Word of God. You apparently put your experience above what Scripture I posted, which is sad. I believe God is calling you to repent and cry out to Him for forgiveness. Obviously, the NIV corruption you defend didn’t instill any holy fear of God in your heart. When you repent God will make you a man of truth who lives purely according to His truth and never gives credence or crassly overlooks the works of His arch enemy who has corrupt His Word. You also side stepped my simple question about how it’s okay to remove things, anything from God’s Word. You are agreeing with Satan against the LORD you claim to know and serve. The LORD is drawing a line in the sand for you right here and now – whose side are you really on? 1 Kings 18:21; Matt 12:30
What did Jesus mean other than what He stated in Revelation 22:18-19?
Pro 30:5 Every word of God is pure: he is a shield unto them that put their trust in him.
Pro 30:6 Add thou not unto his words, lest he reprove thee, and thou be found a liar.
You are saying that good fruit can come out of a bad tree which is a lie because Jesus says:

“Obviously God always uses the imperfect and He can use any translation. The Bible points us to the real Word of God, Jesus. Holy Spirit came to lead us to Him as well as Holy Spirit fulfills Jesus’s promise to teach and guide us into Truth.

REPLY:
Thanks for sharing. Perhaps we should consider that this God we speak of issued perhaps His most severe warning to any person who would change His Word in any way, jot or tittle. Revelation 22:18-19. So, we know He doesn’t take this lightly and neither should we if we truly know and fear Him. Idolizing the Bible? Ah, if Jesus is the Word, that’s not possible. I want to exhort you to read what the Psalmist says about God’s Word by reading Psalms 119 afresh, closely. Remember this is the longest chapter in all the Bible, is in the middle of the Bible, with its only subject being the written Word….. through which the living Word Himself is revealed.
Did the LORD not magnify His Word above even His name?
Psa 138:2 I will worship toward thy holy temple, and praise thy name for thy lovingkindness and for thy truth: for thou hast magnified thy word above all thy name.
There’s no way a believer can possibly have the spiritual nutrients the LORD desires him to have for that vital relationship you rightly spoke of….. if that believer is drinking from a poisoned stream instead of the pure Word of our God. Blessings in Christ dear brother.

WHERE did the Jesus revealed in Scripture tell us such????
No instead the Jesus of the Bible warned us “Beware of the scribes.” (Mark 12:38) Jesus warned us that “SATAN cometh immediately, and taketh away the word.” (Mark 4:15)
If what you claim is true that would mean that Jesus okays the “Queen James Bible,” the “Ebonics Bible,” and even worse, the demonic NIV “bible.”
You are saying that as long as a thick book has the words “Holy Bible” on the cover that such is God’s inspired words, regardless of the contents of that book.
Jesus says that HIS words cannot be changed (Psalms 199:89; Mark 13:31) and if someone changes them, it’s not HIS Word and they will be irrevocably sent to the lake of fire which is one of the plagues of the book of Revelation (Revelation 22:18-19).
Please explain why you believe that the “Jesus” you claim to serve okays all “bible” translations. Tell us all why you believe the Holy Son of God sanctions these corruptions of His Word. For example He okays:
- His very words be removed, completely omitted in Matthew 17:21?
- That Romans 8:1 be chopped in half?
- That His very blood be removed from Colossians 1:14?
- That the clearest revelation of the Godhead be butchered in 1 John 5:7?
If you can crassly overlook these blasphemous atrocities, sounds like you need to get the real Jesus (2 Corinthians 11:2-5). That seems to be root issue here.
DIRTY “BIBLES” – ARE you reading one of the devil’s dirty “bibles”? Or are you reading God’s Word, the King James Bible? If “through is BLOOD” is removed from Colossians 1:14, you know you’ve been tricked. Go look. 4 Verse KJV Comparison

TAIL CHASER:
Recently, I confronted a local “pastor” who had been sowing discord among the brethren. This local “pastor” attacked me as he brought up the Bible version issue. In this heated conversation this man told me he couldn’t understand King James English and said “you have to go back to/know the Hebrew and Greek.” So let me get this straight: You can’t understand English but you can understand Hebrew and Greek? SMH …. I asked him if he read or spoke Hebrew and Greek and demanded that he speak those languages to me right then and and there. Of course he was dumbfounded and didn’t know what to say. … I asked him if he claimed to be washed in the blood of Jesus and if so, does it not bother him that in those phony, sissy new versions he’s defending that in Colossians 1:14 the BLOOD of Jesus is removed. I asked him if that bothered him and told him that if not he has no fear of God at all. Let’s get the real Bible saints, the King James Bible, and trashed, perhaps burn Satan’s counterfeits.

Okay, so you actually believe that the HOLY Spirit of God has anything to do with Satan’s attack on God’s Word, the new versions? How does God reveal Himself to us?

You don’t actually believe the Holy Spirit of God would ever lead someone to read Satan’s corruptions of God’s Word do you? …. “God is not the author of confusion.” (1 Corinthians 14:33)
Since “God is not the author of confusion” (1 Corinthians 14:33), why would you wish to dabble is Satan’s counterfeit “bibles”?

Roughly 2000 years ago, Paul warned a young Pastor named Timothy that some day ‘Christians’ would refuse SOUND doctrine and turn away from it to fables and that they would find/pursue teachers who would tell them what THEY WANT to hear (2 Timothy 4:2-4).

Hi. No, because the writer was simply marking a time of the year the reader could use as a reference. Acts 12:4.

Here are some posts on this issue …
QUESTION RECEIVED:
“Doesn’t it cause unnecessary division to discuss Bible versions?”
REPLY:
- In the most basic sense, what is the Bible a collection of? The words of God, right?
- If those words have been altered/changed, does that not make it obvious that the message has changed?
- What is the eternal consequence for any and all who participate with the altering of God’s words? That is, the adding to and/or taking away of those words (tampering in any way with them)? Revelation 22:18-19
- Can you show from the BIBLE that the BIBLE isn’t important?
- Didn’t God tell us that He has magnified/elevated His words even above His own name? Psalms 138:2
- If God’s own words aren’t important, why did He attach such a severe penalty to punish all those who change it? Revelation 22:18-19
- Do you know the topic of the longest chapter in all the Bible? Psalms 119 – The written Word of God is the topic.
- Do you understand that the apostle Peter taught us that the written Word of God is even more divinely authoritative than the actual audible voice of God speaking from Heaven? 2 Peter 2:16-21
- What are we divinely instructed to judge, discern, and weigh all philosophies, notions, statements, doctrines, etc., against? What is the holy standard? Acts 17:11; 2 Timothy 3:16-17
- Jesus and His holy apostles and prophets didn’t cease teaching the truth because it caused division. That division is the dividing of those who are “of God” and those who are “not of God.” (John 8:47) These divisions are ordained of God and a blessing. (1 Corinthians 11:19) God gave all men free will and forces no one to love and obey Him. Jesus told us that the truth/His Word falls upon 4 different type heart soils (Luke 8:11-15). It is not mere man’s place to worry about that, only to observe it as he told us this was the case. So, cease from leaning to your own understand and simply “preach the word” in God’s love and wisdom (Ephesians 4:15). Listen to Jesus’ apostle and not only does he instruct us to “preach the word” but also to do it always and without respect to who receives or rejects it:
“Preach the word; be instant in season, out of season; reprove, rebuke, exhort with all longsuffering and doctrine. 3 For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears; 4 And they shall turn away their ears from the truth, and shall be turned unto fables.” 2 Timothy 4:2-4

- WHY is Romans 8:1 chopped in half in the new versions,
- WHY is the very BLOOD of JESUS removed from Colossians 1:14, and
- WHY is the clearest verse in the Bible destroyed , corrupted, and neutered in 1 John 5:7???
Things will get real silent at that point. I’ve seen it happened many, many times! No need to argue with anyone. Just literally lay the versions side-by-side!

SWITCHING between Bible versions to get a better understanding? Not me friend. it is my personal conviction to give no credence whatsoever to the works of our LORD’s arch enemy …. and especially never to lead someone else to do so by referring to satanic versions …. Now beloved saints, I am not trying to make this a salvation issue and yet, when God’s very Word has been tampered with in any fashion, THAT is a major issue – with eternal consequences, right?

“Todd, I met a Young gentlemen at a Barnes and Noble bookstore, who was asking the Bookstore Employee, what the best selection of Bible is and when I heard him ask which Bible I quickly and humbly said the KING JAMES Bible (KJB).
He and I met, we spoke and I gave him my story how I found the Lord Jesus Christ and how it changed my Life. He gave me a brief summary of his Life. He is Catholic but said that he felt trapped in uncertainty regarding his relationship with the Lord Jesus Christ.
I told him and let him know that the KJB was the most accurate and ONLY way to go.
I gave him my info, and I referred him to you as well and I’m feeling blessed that he was interested in the Born Again ministry, Praise God.
His name is Tony and am in prayer that he seeks the full truth, and indeed finds a newly restored relationship with our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.
Welcome to Jesus Tony Gomez and God bless you my brother in Christ. AMEN!” William

“But the Bible says to have self control.”
REPLY:
“Self-control” OR “temperance”? The King James Bible never once uses the term “SELF-control” which is a contradiction of Christ’s cross teachings. Meditate upon this. If you can control SELF, there is no need for Christ and the cross He commanded us to take up! The King James Bible uses the word “temperance” in the 9 dimensions of the fruit of the Holy Spirit (Galatians 5:22-23). The KJB got it right as usual ….. think about this in light of the cross truth ….. We don’t control our self, we crucify it and in falling into Christ are saved from it. As is the case from Genesis to Revelation, the King James Bible got it right because God was in it, fulfilling His promise to preserve His Word to us (Psalms 12:6-7).
The new versions use the wording “self control” as one of the nine fruit of the Spirit.
Yet, we do not control self, God does through the cross ….. as we are crucified with Christ, the deeds of the body are mortified through the cross action in our inner life and self is dead and tempered by God, raised up by He who is the resurrection and the life (John 11:25). The KJB got it right as usual and as usual the new per-versions corrupted God’s Word in this text. Self-control or us controlling self contradicts the message of the cross.
“But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith,
23 Meekness, temperance: against such there is no law.
24 And they that are Christ’s have crucified the flesh with the affections and lusts.
25 If we live in the Spirit, let us also walk in the Spirit.” Galatians 5:22-24

“Of course you realize language changes. The word “gay” used to mean “happy.” See James 2:3.”
REPLY:
What does that have to do with the words the Almighty chose to construct His Word with? Changing words means changing the message …. inevitably. The LORD has used “holy men of God” to pen and preserve His Word as He promised He would do – “Knowing this first, that no prophecy of the scripture is of any private interpretation. 21 For the prophecy came not in old time by the will of man: but holy men of God spake as they were moved by the Holy Ghost.” (2 Peter 1:20-21)
Because Satan’s children now use gay as applied to their sin, what does that change? Ridiculous, lame argument. Did this sin cause the righteous not to know what gay really means?
The Bible tells us that we have the Scriptures because “HOLY men of God spoke as they were moved by the holy Ghost” and this is obviously the difference between the Authorized Version and the ones you trust. … Here you go, the NIV (Nearly/Not Inspired Version) will work for you …. even when 64,000 words were removed ….
The Book of Mormon tells its readers that Jesus and Lucifer are brothers. Using your logic, the Book of Mormon is a good source because it doesn’t matter what “bible” one uses. The new versions are Vatican corrupted and controlled, so in your mind they are good sources also, right?
—- I believe the King James Bible is the preserved Word of God, the fulfillment of prophecy (Ps 12:6-7) to the English speaking people of the world and am very thankful to the LORD for His Word in our language. The King James Bible is God’s Word because it was taken from the Textus Receptus manuscripts instead of the Catholic corrupted and controlled manuscripts. The evidence is overwhelming that the other versions are counterfeits. … It is delusional and incomprehensible how anyone could believe that Satan ceased perverting the very words of God. He did such in the Garden and has never ceased. The LORD’s archenemy has many human emissaries to help him. “For ye have perverted the words of the living God, of the LORD of hosts our God.” (Jeremiah 23:36) Here is a variety of posts on this topic: Bible Versions Issue

“IF…. you studied the language that the “original” was written in, you’d learn that words were translated by MAN sometimes with their own perspective added on to it. We’re just blessed to SEE that now. That does NOT send the old farmer to hell. (And I could give you several examples of that IN your KJV, if you really wanted to see it!) But HE told us to be Bereans. Well TODAY’S Bereans have access to the meaning of the GREEK words which may have been translated with “man’s” twist. Or how about all the “parenthetical” statements that are “added in”, that is NOT part of God’s “original” Word, but “man’s” interpretation ADDED TO God’s Word. I stand totally on God’s Word too… it’s just that some, no, every translation has issues. Does it mean I throw it out?? Absolutely not!! But today, I am blessed to be able to look up what the “original” word was, see what it meant every time it was used IN God’s Word and compare if it’s translated properly or not! People that say I just stand on it cuz “I believe it,” don’t know why or what they believe… they just “go on a feeling.” STUDY to show thyself approved. The KJV has all kinds of translation errors.

“Knowing this first, that no prophecy of the scripture is of any private interpretation. 21 For the prophecy came not in old time by the will of man: but holy men of God spake as they were moved by the Holy Ghost.” 2 Peter 1:20-21 Those who translated the Authorized Version from Hebrew and Greek were clearly “holy men,” set apart and commission by the LORD to do such. Check the utter perversion of the new versions and the corrupters of the manuscripts from which the new versions were taken. Then we can talk. It’s a circus of homosexual adulterers and satanists.
So God ceased to watch over His Word, to make sure we had His Word in our language and in our day? This would be to indict Him as a liar in light of His promise in Psalms 12:6-7.
God’s Word is Inspired and Preserved
“The words of the LORD are pure words: as silver tried in a furnace of earth, purified seven times. 7 Thou shalt keep them, O LORD, thou shalt preserve them from this generation for ever.” Psalms 12:6-7
The so-called “information age” is a delusion and has misled many. Whose information? A King James Bible (the pure Word of God) and the divine Person of the Holy Spirit are all that is needed. A Strong’s concordance and a few older commentaries are good too …… The King James Bible was translated by the 54 most skilled Hebrew and Greek scholars ever and it sounds like you’ve been sold a lie as far as them inserting their own viewpoints …. but that’s because Satan has fought the true Word of God from the Garden ….. all new versions are Vatican controlled and corrupted ….. words are always added to bridge the gap between languages, that’s no mystery. But only the King James puts those added words in italics …. which means only the King James translators had nothing to hide and were honest.
You say: “But HE told us to be Bereans. Well TODAY’S Bereans have access to the meaning of the GREEK words which may have been translated with “man’s” twist. Or how about all the “parenthetical” statements that are “added in,” that is NOT part of God’s “original” Word, but “man’s” interpretation ADDED TO God’s Word.”
You misused the biblical definition of a true Berean believer because they held even the apostle Paul to the Scriptures. They used ONLY the Holy Scriptures which are the divine rule/authority for all matters of faith in God. Nothing else carries such authority and this is all we need. Greek and Hebrew is no way to determine truth ultimately. Jesus never told us that the Greek and Hebrew would lead and guide His people into all truth but rather 1) the Holy Scriptures (John 5:39; 17:17; Ps 119:105, etc. and 2) the divine Person of the Holy Spirit (John 14:26; 16:13; 1 John 2:20, 27, etc.).
What you are saying here is that YOU are better at Greek and Hebrew than the 54 scholars God amassed to give us His Word in English. This is laughable friend …. no offense meant but that’s exactly what “textual criticism” means …. evil hearted, arrogant dupes thinking they know better than God and that they have to correct God’s Word …. basically Bible agnostics who want to create a false god in their own image by changing His Word …. the promise of the very plague of the lake of fire is guaranteed for all who dare tamper with His Words (Rev. 22:18-19). please check this out and I pray you will humble yourself before the LORD.
It’s always amusing to see people make blanket statements they have no proof for. I believe you need to repent Susie. You are working as an insidious agent of the evil one …. whether you realize it or not …. to cast doubt on God’s very Word, just as SATAN did in the Garden and still does today through his agents …. when he said “Hath God said?” …. in other words the devil is the one behind the casting of doubt on whether or not God kept His Word of promise to keep His Word preserved to us or not (Ps 12:6-7) Ridiculous King James Bible Corrections

My Personal Conviction
This is is okay? Wow!!!! Compare for yourself:
KJB – 1 John 5:7-8, “For there are three that bear record in heaven, the Father, the Word, and the Holy Ghost: and these three are one. And there are three that bear witness in earth, the Spirit, and the water, and the blood: and these three agree in one.”
NIV – 1 John 5:7-8, “For there are three that testify: the Spirit, the water and the blood; and the three are in agreement.”
I stand on both feet and say there is NO respect in my heart for the NIV or any new versions. If you don’t agree, that’s fine …. but please allow me the personal conviction and liberty.
Check out this simple manuscript chart … This chart will compare the difference between the Minority Text (which are based upon mainly 2 corrupted New Testament manuscripts) and the Majority Text (which are based upon over 5,000 New Testament manuscripts). Here it is.

Response:
Bill, your reasoning, taken to it’s logical conclusion, would mean that if there was a glass of water sitting before you, and it only had a very small amount of contaminant in it, that that would be okay with you due to the most part of that glass of water being good clean water. …. Of doctrine, the Bible says: “A LITTLE leaven leaveneth (ruins) the whole lump.” Galatians 5:9
“Every word of God is pure: he is a shield unto them that put their trust in him.6 Add thou not unto his words, lest he reprove thee, and thou be found a liar.” Proverbs 30:5-6
Wolves Warning
—- THINK about it: The same wolves we have who fill pulpits and books today with their pabulum, are the same devils who are perpetrating the new versions on us … the same Jesuit trained seminarians who endorse and only use the diabolically corrupted versions of the bible. Wow. These are the salesmen…. they are the ones who make those new versions sound grandiose and yet, when you do a little digging, you start to see that the new version editors were almost all perverts ….. unreal folks, unreal … no true disciple of Jesus would dare participate in butchering HIS Words …. such was the case with Dr. Frank Logsdon, a man you can read about on this link attached …. here.
4 Verses to Compare and you will see that the Bible versions are significantly different. Here are the 4 verses that rocked my world and forever changed my view of all these trash, fake, diabolical so-called bible versions … please put the KJB and NIV side by side on these and ALL arguments cease immediately:

So if the words don’t matter, ANY old mere sinful man can make up his own “bible” and it’s still God’s Word? Wow! If the words don’t matter, WHY did God attach such a high price tag around the necks of those who dare tamper with it?
“For I testify unto every man that heareth the words of the prophecy of this book, If any man shall add unto these things, God shall add unto him the plagues that are written in this book: 19 And if any man shall take away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God shall take away his part out of the book of life, and out of the holy city, and from the things which are written in this book.” Revelation 22:18-19
The eternal plagues of Revelation, including the lake of fire, are the destiny of all who tamper with God’s Word.
That’s just it, the BIBLE is not mere man’s words … it’s God’s Word and to think that Satan hasn’t been warring against God’s Word is both ignorance of Scripture and blindness. Jesus says that “man shall not live (have life) by bread alone but by every word that proceeds out of the mouth of God.” (Matt. 4:4; Lk 4:4)…. in the Garden Satan began his war on God’s Word by adding one 3-letter word to what God had said (2:17; 3:4) and also casting doubt on what God has stated – just like the new versions do in the text and their margin notes.
Note:
I don’t think we begin to truly see/perceive what a ferocious war we are in the middle of … and it’s been underway for thousands of years before we were even born (Eph. 6:12). To deny the notion that Satan himself would pervert the very words of the LORD would reveal us to be utterly gullible and blind …. because we see right in the beginning, in the Garden, how he did such, and throughout history. Penknife sacrilege has been going on among deceived men for centuries, right in the middle of that which is supposed to be God’s people ….. check this out:

Hi. The Bible says: “He that trusteth in his own heart is a fool: ” (Prov. 28:26) …. many say “Follow your heart” but the Bible warns against this …. because our hearts are corrupted and this is exactly why God gave us and why we need to have His pure Word (Gen. 6:5, 12; Jer. 17:9, etc.) …. so we are not deceived and misled by our own hearts or anyone else’s ….. Ps 119:105 is an important memory verse to live by and also our LORD’s words in Matt 4:4. “He that trusteth in his own heart is a fool: but whoso walketh wisely, he shall be delivered.” Prov 28:26
The Danger of Corrupting God’s Word:
—- Dr. Frank Logston was appointed as the professor to oversee the creation of yet another new version of the English bible, the NASB (North American SINNER Bible haha) ….. look at what Dr. Logston realized in the midst of this atrocity and how he repented, fearing for his own eternal soul at what he had done and participated in ….. Never forget our LORD’s grave warning in Rev. 22:18-19 – “For I testify unto every man that heareth the words of the prophecy of this book, If any man shall add unto these things, God shall add unto him the plagues that are written in this book: 19 And if any man shall take away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God shall take away his part out of the book of life, and out of the holy city, and from the things which are written in this book.” See it here in his own words and on video.

Had a long time “friend” on FB cite me for being absurd for objecting to his view of the new versions and for believing God preserved His written Word to the English people in the King James Bible. He refused to deal directly with me. He either already has or could easily get my phone number. Matt 18:15-17 …. Is he hiding in his darkness? Why is he afraid to discuss this issue? What does Don have to hide about his views? Why was he not willing to discuss this matter if it is causing unnecessary division? Didn’t Jesus tell us that truth always causes division – between those who believe it and those who don’t? He said he believed I was causing division and he’s correct because when the truth is revealed, it naturally divides those who believe it and those who refuse it. Here’s my reply.

- Matt 17:21 is missing from many new versions,
- Rom. 8:1 is cut in half,
- The very BLOOD of Christ has been removed from Col. 1:14,
- 1 John 5:7, the clearest verse in the Bible on the triune nature of God is butchered and neutered in new versions…..
- 64,000 words are missing from the best selling “bible” the NIV …..
Please explain to us all why it’s “absurdity” to be alarmed by these atrocities …. oh and feel free to man up and call me: 214-…
I was informed that this man has been indoctrinated by Dan Corner who is greatly amiss concerning this Bible versions issue. How any true follower of Jesus could say that these corruptions are okay is absolute atrocity. … God’s Word is Inspired and Preserved
—– The fact that most pastors use new versions of the Bible, which are clearly and obviously corrupt, is clear evidence of the prophesied apostasy in the modern church world. Any person who can ignore even one instance of perversion of God’s Word, has a serious spiritual problem (at best).
What’s up with that seminarian sissy you call pastor? Why didn’t he show you this???? If Bible versions and the diabolical corruption (changing by adding to or taking away) is no big deal, why did the almighty attached such a high price tag of judgment upon such? Rev. 22:18-19 if your pastors uses a new version, he’s in darkness.

You are denying that God kept His Word to preserve His Word to us in English in this generation (Ps 12:6-7).

I have a Q. I have heard of tribes who have never ever seen a bible in their lives don’t even know what a book looks like have never seen a white face b4 but then missionaries go to these places and come upon these tribes coming with God’s Word. And before they even begin these people of these tribes begin to quote scripture word for word…. How do you explain this? When no man has taught them? The Holy Spirit is our teacher Todd, only God can help us learn and understand His word by His Spirit the Holy Spirit, who lives in us.”
REPLY:
The LORD gave us teachers to help us learn HIS Word Eph 4:12-13 … to mature and equip us.
Ultimately it’s the LORD who confirms the truth of His Word in our hearts and yet, we can learn much from His Word by dwelling together in it with other members of His body – see Col. 3:16; Acts 2:42-47
Teachers … these men are merely there to help us learn HIS Word …. not to be our ultimate teacher ….. John 16:13; 14:26; Ps 119 ….and most of these true elders are NOT found in brick buildings on Sunday morning. They aren’t posers or actors (hypocrites) who are known by how they wait till Sundays to put on the sheep cloaks over their wolf hides. ….and the LORD’s their Teacher and yet, this in NO WAY justifies perverting God’s Word or using a perverted version of His Word once we’ve been given the information exposing the Satanic counterfeits.
God the Holy Spirit gave us His Word and He will NEVER say anything contrary. If we do not realize this truth – that God gave us His Word and changes not – we will be ultimately deceived and willingly misled. Study this, OK: Mal. 3:6; Ps. 119:89 and Mk. 13:31
This is also an extremely essential passage to know: “We have also a more sure word of prophecy; whereunto ye do well that ye take heed, as unto a light that shineth in a dark place, until the day dawn, and the day star arise in your hearts: 20 Knowing this first, that no prophecy of the scripture is of any private interpretation. 21 For the prophecy came not in old time by the will of man: but holy men of God spake as they were moved by the Holy Ghost.” 2 Peer 1:19-21
Peter said he loved Jesus and would never deny Him and then denied the Son of God 3 times ….. not good to say that …. not one of us loves Him as we should.
How God deals with tribes in the rain forest does nothing to negate or change how He deals with and holds us accountable who have His written Word. That’s a diversion of the enemy.
QUESTION RECEIVED:
“What about the NKJV, the New King James Bible?
REPLY:
“—- 666 and the New King James Bible
Carefully notice the cover below, showing an occult symbol forming, 666, on the cover of Nelson Publisher’s New King James Bible. This is a corrupted version of the Bible, based upon the CORRUPT Greek texts of heretics Westcott and Hort. Please use only the original “King James Bible”; not the “New King James Bible,” nor the “21st Century King James Bible” (which is copyrighted and thus cannot be God’s Word). Only God owns the Bible.
Symbols are used throughout the occult. Harpers’ Encyclopedia of Mystical & Paranormal Experience (p.594) says,
“Symbols are important to all esoteric teachings, for they contain secret wisdom accessible only to the initiated.”
Many people have asked about the mysterious symbol on the NKJV.
Thomas Nelson Publishers (publishers of the NKJV) claim, on the inside-cover, the symbol, “. . .is an ancient symbol for the Trinity.” But Acts 17:29, clearly FORBIDS such symbology: “. . . we ought NOT to think that the Godhead is like unto gold, or silver, or stone, GRAVEN BY ART and man’s device.”
And why does The Aquarian Conspiracy, a key New Age “handbook,” bear a similar symbol? New Agers freely admit it represents three interwoven “6”s or “666”.
Constance Cumbey, author of The Hidden Dangers of the Rainbow and a notable authority on the New Age Movement, said, “On the cover of the Aquarian Conspiracy is a Mobius, it is really used by them as triple six (666). The emblem on the cover of the New King James Bible is said to be an ancient symbol of the Trinity. The old symbol had Gnostic origins. It was more Gnostic than Christian. I was rather alarmed when I noticed the emblem…” (The New Age Movement, Southwest Radio Church, 1982 p.11)
The three esoteric “6”’s separated.
Plainly displaying the interlocked “666.”
The Triqueta is used as the centerpiece for the logo for The Institute of Transpersonal Psychology (ITP). The ITP is a New Age demonic school following the Jungian Psychology [occultist Carl Jung]. One of their stated goals is to reach the recognition of divinity within (see Genesis 3:5, “…ye shall be as gods…”).
Textus Receptus (Latin: “received text“) is the name retroactively given to the succession of printed Greek language texts of the New Testament which constituted the textual base for the original German Luther Bible, for the translation of the New Testament into English by William Tyndale (1526), Myles Coverdale’s Bible (1535), Matthew’s Bible (1537), The Great Bible (1539), The Geneva Bible (1557 – 60), The Bishops’ Bible (1568), and the King James Version (1611), and for most other Reformation-era New Testament translations throughout Western and Central Europe such as the Spanish Reina-Valera translation and the Czech Bible of Kralice. The Textus Receptus has been translated into hundreds of languages. (See Also The Word of God for All Nations) The origin of the term “Textus Receptus” comes from the publisher’s preface to the 1633 edition produced by Abraham Elzevir and his nephew Bonaventure who were printers at Leiden:
Textum ergo habes, nunc ab omnibus receptum: in quo nihil immutatum aut corruptum damus. Translated “so you hold the text, now received by all, in which nothing corrupt.”
The two words, “textum” and “receptum“, were modified from the accusative to the nominative case to render textus receptus. Over time, this term has been retroactively applied to Erasmus’ editions, as his work served as the basis of others that followed. Many supporters of the Textus Receptus will name any manuscript which agrees with the Textus Receptus Greek as a “Textus Receptus” type manuscript. This type of association can also apply to early church quotations and language versions.

SINLESS PERFECTIONISM: WHOSE Righteousness are You Trusting? [podcast]
Salvation, justification, overcoming sin all come by way of the mercy of God, the divinely enabling grace of God, and the cross, the daily crucified life (Luke 9:23-24; Romans 3:24-26; 4:4-5; 6:14; 2 Corinthians 4:10-12; Galatians 2:20; 3:1-3; Titus 3:5-7, etc.). It does not come by mere self-determination or self-will.
Don’t strive. Surrender.
Beware of the sinless perfectionism mob.
Beloved, God found us, in our sins, and saved us into His eternal kingdom! (Romans 5:6-9; 1 John 4:19). We didn’t find Him. He found us!
Defusing the iniquity of self-righteousness increases exponentially when we begin learning the biblical doctrine of fallen mankind (Genesis 6:5, 12; Jeremiah 17:9; Romans 7:18; Psalms 39:4-5).
“For I know that in me (that is, in my flesh,) dwelleth no good thing: for to will is present with me; but how to perform that which is good I find not. … 24 O wretched man that I am! who shall deliver me from the body of this death?” Romans 7:18, 24
“It’s actually freedom when we embrace the Bible truth of how wretched we are! We don’t have to hide it or try to be better than we are! Jesus can now reign on the throne of our hearts and not self!” Karen Cochran
Realizing our own utter helplessness, hopelessness, and depravity and taking up the cross is the only the safe place with God right, the cross, the bowing to Him to take full control…. See Matthew 5:3; John 3:30.
All self-righteous religious hypocrites are going to hell (Matthew 21:31). May God save, forgive, and cause us, to bless us to be His authentic disciples. In Jesus’ Name, amen.
Paul’s flesh was and our flesh is a constant reminder of the ever momentary need for the cross, burial, and resurrection grace of Jesus (Romans 6:3-10; 8:11; 2 Corinthians 4:10-12; Galatians 2:20, etc.). Read Romans chapters 6-7 each morning this week.
The cross reveals your sin, and God’s love, not how wonderful you are! Repent!
Saints, we cannot possibly begin to appreciate this “so great salvation” that is Christ until we understand how lost, helpless, and alienated we were in our sin (Ephesians 2:1-10; Hebrews 2:3). We must study to understand the biblical doctrine of inherent sin, fallen mankind, and the holiness of God …. in order to begin to be able to appreciate the redemption that is in Jesus Christ.
Touting our own supposed righteousness is a dangerous undertaking. Lifting ourselves up will result in being brought down low, with no exception.
“Pride goeth before destruction, and an haughty spirit before a fall.” Proverbs 16:18
All I have to do to find the man most in need of God’s saving grace and mercy, is to look in the mirror (Romans 7:18, 24; James 1:23-24). As long as we neglect to look in the mirror, honestly, we will continue to be self-righteous as were Jesus’ most evil enemies, the religious frauds, the pharisees of His day (Matthew 23). Are we pharisees or humble, broken, honest disciples of Christ? (Matthew 18:3-4)
“If I justify myself, mine own mouth shall condemn me: if I say, I am perfect, it shall also prove me perverse.” Job 9:20
“Who can say, I have made my heart clean, I am pure from my sin?” Proverbs 20:9
There is NO righteousness outside of Christ (Romans 7:18, 24).
Every single day is the opportunity to overcome – yet this will only happen as we choose to do things God’s way – the cross. Romans 6-8; 2 Corinthians 4:10-12; Galatians 2:20; Colossians 3:3, etc. Sinless Perfectionism Exposed
The no sin nature people are missing the cross. The Mike Desario’s, the Charles Finney’s, and the Jesse Morrell’s of the world peddle the no-sin-nature heresy and also do not preach the cross, the crucified life. They rag on endlessly about “stopping all sin” but never mention the crucified life which is the only divine prescription for overcoming sin (Romans 6, etc.). That alone makes them false, peddlers of “another gospel.” (Galatians 1:6-9) This is why they can’t understand this. They do not realize that God gave us the solution to this sin bent (iniquity), this inherent in fallen man sin – and that answer is the crucified life which is at the heart of the original Gospel.
“True holiness” comes exclusively from the perfect sacrifice of Jesus Christ. Yet this is not just our position in Christ, it must also be the practical reality of our lives lived (Ephesians 4:24). The holiness of God, “true holiness,” requires the “daily” cross Jesus commanded which separates us from self and sin (Luke 9:23-24; 1 Corinthians 9:27, etc.). Sin is overcome exclusively via oneness with Christ in an abiding relationship (John 15, 17) and not by mere self-effort alone – which is antichrist. The point established in the whole of Holy Scripture is that we are beholden to the Savior, the LORD Jesus, and must be honest about our wretchedness outside of a present abiding relationship with Him (Romans 7:18, 24) whereby the fruit of holiness is produced. There’s a slew of self-righteousness being promoted as “holiness” today through wolves who’ve digested the false teaching of devils like Mike Desario and Charles Finney and those who peddle these doctrines.
“But now the righteousness of God without the law is manifested, being witnessed by the law and the prophets; 22 Even the righteousness of God which is by faith of Jesus Christ unto all and 
upon all them that believe: for there is no difference: 23 For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God; 24 Being justified freely by his grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus (not self): 25 Whom God hath set forth to be a propitiation (atoning sacrifice) through faith in his blood, to declare his righteousness for the remission of sins that are past, through the forbearance of God; 26 To declare, I say, at this time his righteousness: that he might be just, and the justifier of him which believeth in Jesus.” Romans 3:21-26
After being attacked and accused of being a Roman catholic, Baptist heretic…. the response to the accuser was as follows:
Thanks for the attack, the persecution. I do rejoice (Matthew 5:10-12). I am certainly anything but Catholic or Baptist. Now, to examine what you wrote ….No one is a more staunch exposer of Rome, nor a more critical exposer of the eternal security Baptist, protestant lie (the ministry has 3 landmark books exposing OSAS – over 1,000 pages total) ….. So what you are saying here is a lie, bearing false witness, instead of dealing with the Scripture truth of these things. There is no cross in this sinless perfectionism movement, and the cross is the only way to overcome all sin – by the resurrection power of Christ (Gal 2:20; 2 Cor 4:10-12). Also, there is no grace (divine enablement) or faith in your message, but rather only rote mechanical obedience as if people are earning their own way. This alone makes your message errant, not according to the whole counsel of Scripture. | Eternal Security Exposed | Catholic Church Exposed
You offer some truth here and yet this sounds like Mike Desario, Charles Finney falsehoods, the no-sin-nature, sinless perfectionism heresy.
Sinlessly Perfect? You Sure? [podcast]
Beware of the sinful self-righteousness masquerading behind feigned perfect obedience. This Sinless perfectionism they are pushing is pure self-righteousness.
I am not your enemy ….. attack if you see fit. Yes, the LORD does say that obedience is essential, it proves that one knows the LORD or is known of Him (Matt 7:21). Good works do not save us – Christ alone saves us. This is a real subtle deception. There is the need to synthesize “ALL scripture” which teaches, that faith, obedience and good fruit do not save us, God does, by HIS sheer mercy.
“Not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to his mercy he saved us, by the washing of regeneration, and renewing of the Holy Ghost; 6 Which he shed on us abundantly through Jesus Christ our Saviour; 7 That being justified by his grace, we should be made heirs according to the hope of eternal life.” Titus 3:5-7
Sinful self-righteousness has no place in the life of a disciple of Jesus. Matthew 21:31
Self-righteousness was one of the sins of the pharisees and is soul damning (Matthew 23, etc.). Even the publicans and harlots will be in Heaven before the self-righteous religionists (Matthew 21:31).
Obedience is the fruit of saving faith and yet our obedience doesn’t save us. According to this passage, you are under a spirit of witchcraft – to think your own works-righteousness, law-keeping saves you:
“O foolish Galatians, who hath bewitched you, that ye should not obey the truth, before whose eyes Jesus Christ hath been evidently set forth, crucified among you? 2 This only would I learn of you, Received ye the Spirit by the works of the law, or by the hearing of faith? 3 Are ye so foolish? having begun in the Spirit, are ye now made perfect by the flesh?” Galatians 3:1-3
Think about this that Jesus says from perhaps a new perspective … “IF you love me, keep my commandments” …. perhaps He is saying “If you don’t love me, don’t bother obeying Me, because that is futility.” Good works/obedience, fruit are borne out of an abiding relationship. It’s about relationship, not earning our own way I know this well as I was out of balance for many years. I am not seeing this as an argument … just discussing, okay?
There is no cross, no crucified life in the message of the sinless perfectionist heretics and therefore they are preaching “another gospel.” (Gal 1:6-9) The cross is the divine solution to sin and is at the center of the original Gospel and that’s the only way to be raised up out of the flesh and victorious over sin, not be mere self-effort. You are kidding no one but yourself if you believe your own good works are at the ground level of your justification before a holy God who sent His only begotten Son to do what we cannot do. – If righteousness comes out of just sheer obedience, law-keeping, then Christ is dead in vain.
“I do not frustrate the grace of God: for if righteousness come by the law, then Christ is dead in vain.” Galatians 2:21
God is holy and holiness is essential for eternal glory (Hebrews 12:14, etc.). Yet such comes about by the crucified life Jesus prescribed, the cross and the resurrection (raising up) grace of God – not by seeking to be perfect on our own, not after beginning in the Spirit and then vainly attempting to be made perfect in the flesh (Galatians 3:1-3).
“For sin shall not have dominion over you: for ye are not under the law, but under GRACE.” Romans 6:14
There’s no cross and no grace (divine enablement) in the message of the sinless perfectionists and therefore their message is false. Heretical.
It’s like they seek and are boasting about their own obedience and their own self-willed sinless perfection. Nonsense. Laughable.
Overcoming must be done in and through Christ – in a real, abiding relationship with Him which sinless perfectionist frauds never mention.
Recognizing our own need to be humble, contrite, broken, and fully dependent on the LORD is what we learn in Scripture, not hiding behind sinless perfectionism but rather being authentic, honest, and realizing that without JESUS and being one with Him in an abiding relationship, we can do nothing to please God (John 15:5).
“For without me ye can do nothing.” John 15:5
It’s better to cease pretending in my opinion, in light of the whole counsel of Scripture. I am not a good person, neither are you. “There is none righteous, no, not one” (Romans 3:10). Admit it. The sooner we become HONEST with that which is more than obvious, announcing freely and transparently – that there is “NOOOO good thing” in us except CHRIST, the sooner God will begin a new, deeper work in us! (See Romans 7:18, 24.) The Cross!
We are all very imperfect and in present and perpetual need of the LORD’s saving grace which requires a born again and abiding relationship with Christ.
Those who truly follow Christ are to be fully dependent upon Him, not self, or self’s supposed perfect obedience – which is a farce. See Posture of Dependency
Lest someone should erroneously believe there is any justification for any sin, let me say this: Jesus is coming back for “a glorious church, not having spot, or wrinkle, or any such thing; but that it should be holy and without blemish” (Ephesians 5:25-27), And “By mercy and truth iniquity is purged.”
“By mercy and truth iniquity is purged: and by the fear of the LORD men depart from evil.” Proverbs 16:6
This is how we can observe the ministry of Jesus and His apostles. The only people they were harsh with were the rich and the religious. They were not harsh with people who sinned and were convicted and contrite, humbled before God, seeking His mercy, repentant. The woman taken in adultery is one such example…..
Stone Casting Qualifications
Jesus never called the woman taken in adultery (John 8) or the woman who had had five husbands and was now living with another man, a whore (John 4). Jesus was not harsh with either of them. What does this say for some of these self-righteous, hate-mongering, arrogant, pharisaical, enraged, embattled, need-to-get-saved street preachers so prevalent today who openly call scantily clad women whores instead of winning them as Jesus did? Perhaps it’s the lust in their own hearts driving them? (See Romans 2:1-3.) We never see Christ needlessly provoking, condemning, screaming at, or yelling at lost sinners. WHERE did Jesus or any of His apostles possess such a hate-filled attitude other than when Jesus rebuked them in their younger years for seeking to call down fire from Heaven? Christ rebuked them with “Ye know not what manner of spirit ye are of” (Luke 9:54-55).
DID Cain murder his brother Abel because of Abel’s sins or his own?
“Not as Cain, who was of that wicked one, and slew his brother. And wherefore slew he him? Because his own works were evil, and his brother’s righteous.” 1 John 3:12
Those who slander others do so because of the wickedness that exists in their own hearts.
No Sin to Deal with?
1 John 1:8-10 should be kept in mind…. synthesized, right? Yes…… 1 Corinthians 2:13
“If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us. 9 If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. 10 If we say that we have not sinned, we make him a liar, and his word is not in us.” 1 John 1:8-10
If we are saved by our supposed obedience, we all fall short, right? Should we not rather trust in the perfect obedience of CHRIST? Memorize Romans 4:4-5. This is in no way to excuse any sin, period (Romans 6:1-2).
“Now to him that worketh is the reward not reckoned of grace, but of debt. 5 But to him that worketh not, but believeth on him that justifieth the ungodly, his faith is counted for righteousness.” Romans 4:4-5
WHO earned our salvation? Jesus.
“For there is not a just man upon earth, that doeth good, and sinneth not.” Ecclesiastes 7:20
FROM A SINLESS PERFECTIONIST:
REPLY:
May God find us with Christ’s righteousness, not our own …. The righteousness Jesus Christ accomplished at the cross is the only righteousness God honors, all else is “as filthy rags.”
“But we are all as an unclean thing, and all our righteousnesses are as filthy rags; and we all do fade as a leaf; and our iniquities, like the wind, have taken us away.” Isaiah 64:6
What righteousness does God see us in right now? Is it our own, or Christ’s?
“And be found IN HIM, NOT HAVING MINE OWN RIGHTEOUSNESS, which is of the law, but that which is through the faith of Christ, the righteousness which is of God by faith:” Philippians 3:9
Without Christ’s present saving mercy, this disciple is absolutely hopeless, sinful, and doomed. I will trust Christ’s righteousness and not my own!
“Who can say, I have made my heart clean, I am pure from my sin?” Proverbs 20:9
None is righteous by himself, on his own merit and that what sinless perfectionism teaches….. you are being fed by wolves like Finney and Desario…. you didn’t get this in the Bible, by organic personal study… that’s why there’s an imbalance…..

Jesus Answered Questions with Questions [podcast]
“AVOID FOOLISH QUESTIONS”
Could it be that one way to “avoid foolish questions” is to ask questions when questioned?
“But avoid foolish questions, and genealogies, and contentions, and strivings about the law; for they are unprofitable and vain. 10 A man that is an heretick after the first and second admonition REJECT; 11 Knowing that he that is such is subverted, and sinneth, being condemned of himself.” Titus 3:9-11
One of the best ways to “avoid foolish questions” is to answer them with questions. Read that again.
All questions that come to us are not evil and yet, as we see with Jesus’ religious enemies, some questions do come from evil hearts with ungodly motives.
“For we are not as many, which corrupt (twist, adulterate) the word of God: but as of sincerity, but as of God, in the sight of God speak we in Christ.” 2 Corinthians 2:17
Jesus used the art of asking questions and so should you. This will revolutionize the way you interact with others, if done correctly. And, this should never be used from a heart that is not pure in the eyes of God. The disciple must beware of the evil that lurks within his own heart (Jeremiah 17:9; Romans 7:18, 24, etc.).
“Asking questions was central to Jesus’ life and teachings.”
Jesus used this method of answering questions with questions in order to shift the burden of proof, expose the motives of his critics, and force his listeners to think deeply.
One commentator notes:
“How many times did Jesus ask questions?
In the Gospels Jesus asks many more questions than he answers. To be precise, Jesus asks 307 questions. He is asked 183 of which he only answers three. Asking questions was central to Jesus‘ life and teachings.”
The Big Question is … What’s behind the question?
WHERE is the questioner seeking to lead this conversation?
We should pray for discernment to know whether there is evil intent or the noble desire for answers behind the questions asked of us.
Questioners with evil hearts ask questions in order to get themselves off the hook or deny what the Bible plainly states. This some do to distance themselves from the conviction of conscience the truth is causing them. And if you buy the package, if you take the bait, they will suck you in and devour you.
Beware of the enemy’s tactics.
“Lest Satan should get an advantage of us: for we are not ignorant of his devices (schemes, tactics).” 2 Corinthians 2:11
“Jesus frequently asked the Pharisees questions. He challenged them. Most of the time He answered questions with questions! He called them out! Which angered them greatly. Jesus was skilled in the art of asking questions! I could learn much from a study of questions Jesus asked.” Karen Cochran
ALWAYS GIVE GOD’S ANSWER AND NO OTHER (1 Peter 3:15): Beware that when God’s Word is spoken, those who love darkness rather than light, those who are unrepentant will divert from the Word by asking you questions off of the WORD itself in order to divert the conviction from their unrepentant hearts (John 3:19-21). STAY with the Word – whether they like it or not (Isaiah 55:11). You owe no man an answer other than to give them what God says – what the LORD stated in His unchanging Word (Mark 13:31). Jesus tells us that such men as will not hear His Word, are “NOT of God.” And, that if they were “OF GOD” they’d be humbly, astutely looking for and hearing HIS Word (John 8:47). Memorizing the words of Jesus recorded in John 8:47 will put your discernment miles ahead. I underlined the key words:
“He that is OF GOD heareth God’s words: ye therefore hear them not, because ye are NOT OF GOD.” John 8:47
When you give rebels the answer of GOD from HIS WORD, they will attack you – the mere messenger. They are not there to learn. They’ve made up their minds and are sticking with their rebellion. Always remember, their issue is with the LORD and not with you.
You see, unrepentant men do not like the answer God gives to their questions. They are looking only to justify sin, not repent and confess it as the LORD requires. So their questions are aimed at finding a way to justify their sin – to justify their refusal to truly repent, lay down their lives in this fleeting world, and follow Jesus for real. That’s the crux of the matter.
Isn’t that exactly what the pharisees (false teachers/religionists) did to Jesus?
“Let GOD be true and EVERY man a liar.” Romans 3:4
“Thy word is a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path.” Psalms 119:105
Give God’s answer and no other. You owe no one an answer to anything else, except what God says about it. Refuse to allow rebels to lead you around by the nose with their deflections and questions.
“But sanctify the Lord God in your hearts: and be ready always to give an answer to every man that asketh you a reason of the hope that is in you with meekness and fear:” 1 Peter 3:15
JESUS ANSWERS QUESTIONS WITH QUESTIONS
Getting a taste of how Jesus dealt with evil hearted religious folks is going to greatly develop your ability to navigate the hate-filled attacks against Christ and you by truth-haters. This will help you as you earnestly contend for the faith once delivered to the saints in the original Gospel recorded on the pages of Holy Scripture (Jude 3-4).
Jesus questioned His questioners and so should you! You serve the LORD Jesus and are not obligated to answer every question that comes your way. Sometimes, you have to stay in control in these situations. I say this specifically referring to conversations you will have with rebels. They have nothing good in their hearts and in many cases, have no heart for the truth, just like the religious frauds of Christ’s day.
Personally, I’ve seldom seen so much evil as when I refuse to answer questions from those who seek to misdirect the conversation away from the Word of God. Often detractors use mere human reasoning, or anything to manipulate and twist and get the emphasis off of what the Word itself clearly states (Mark 7:6-9). This is a tactic they use in order to promulgate their false belief, justifies their sin, and that contradicts Holy Scripture. Such was the case in this recent attack and conversation – Preacher Viciously Attacked for Speaking the Truth! [podcast]
Jesus is THE BOSS and He’s Your Boss! Follow Your Boss. Follow the Example of Your Boss! We learn from our Boss by beholding what He did. And, our Boss, the KING of all kings, asked questions to questioners.
Our Lord was skilled at asking precise questions that drove to the heart of a situation, centering everything on HIS kingdom and never acquiescing to the sinful whims and manipulations of unrepentant men.
Some of Christ’s most profound questions came as a response to those who were questioning Jesus. The following is a list of some of the questions Jesus used in questioning His questioners. This is not an exhaustive list of every question Jesus ever asked and is on record in the Bible. In order to help the reader, I’ve underlined and hi-lighted the words which indicate questions for the reader to capture the essence of how our LORD answered questions with questions. I’ve included also the questions Jesus asked His own disciples. Some of these questions are noble and most (from His enemies) are hostile. As you will see, those questions from Christ’s enemies are obviously inherently evil. I’ve highlighted with yellow where the LORD specifically cites them for such, calling to the reader’s attention the heart motives of those asking the questions. Jesus interrupted their attempted deflections, cover-ups. He called them out on it. Here’s the interaction:
- Matthew 9:14-15 – 14 Then came to him the disciples of John, saying, Why do we and the Pharisees fast oft, but thy disciples fast not? 15 And Jesus said unto them (a question), Can the children of the bridechamber mourn, as long as the bridegroom is with them? but the days will come, when the bridegroom shall be taken from them, and then shall they fast.
- Matthew 15:1-3 – 1 Then came to Jesus scribes and Pharisees, which were of Jerusalem, saying, 2 Why do thy disciples transgress the tradition of the elders? for they wash not their hands when they eat bread. 3 But he answered and said unto them, Why do ye also transgress the commandment of God by your tradition?
- Matthew 15:33-34 33 – 33 And his disciples say unto him, Whence should we have so much bread in the wilderness, as to fill so great a multitude? 34 And Jesus saith unto them, How many loaves have ye? And they said, Seven, and a few little fishes.
- Matthew 17:24-26 – 24 And when they were come to Capernaum, they that received tribute money came to Peter, and said, Doth not your master pay tribute? 25 He saith, Yes. And when he was come into the house, Jesus prevented him, saying, What thinkest thou, Simon? of whom do the kings of the earth take custom or tribute? of their own children, or of strangers? 26 Peter saith unto him, Of strangers. Jesus saith unto him, Then are the children free.
- Matthew 21:16 – And said unto him, Hearest thou what these say? And Jesus saith unto them, Yea; have ye never read, Out of the mouth of babes and sucklings thou hast perfected praise?
- Matthew 26:6-10 – 6 Now when Jesus was in Bethany, in the house of Simon the leper, 7 There came unto him a woman having an alabaster box of very precious ointment, and poured it on his head, as he sat at meat. 8 But when his disciples saw it, they had indignation, saying, To what purpose is this waste? 9 For this ointment might have been sold for much, and given to the poor. 10 When Jesus understood it, he said unto them, Why trouble ye the woman? for she hath wrought a good work upon me.
- Mark 2:5-11 – 5 When Jesus saw their faith, he said unto the sick of the palsy, Son, thy sins be forgiven thee. 6 But there were certain of the scribes sitting there, and reasoning in their hearts, 7 Why doth this man thus speak blasphemies? who can forgive sins but God only? 8 And immediately when Jesus perceived in his spirit that they so reasoned within themselves, he said unto them, Why reason ye these things in your hearts? 9 Whether is it easier to say to the sick of the palsy, Thy sins be forgiven thee; or to say, Arise, and take up thy bed, and walk? 10 But that ye may know that the Son of man hath power on earth to forgive sins, (he saith to the sick of the palsy,) 11 I say unto thee, Arise, and take up thy bed, and go thy way into thine house.
- Mark 4:10,13 – 10 And when he was alone, they that were about him with the twelve asked of him the parable. .. 13 And he said unto them, Know ye not this parable? and how then will ye know all parables?
- Mark 4:38,40 – And he was in the hinder part of the ship, asleep on a pillow: and they awake him, and say unto him, Master, carest thou not that we perish? … 40 And he said unto them, Why are ye so fearful? how is it that ye have no faith?
- Mark 7:17-18 – 17 And when he was entered into the house from the people, his disciples asked him concerning the parable. 18 And he saith unto them, Are ye so without understanding also?Do ye not perceive, that whatsoever thing from without entereth into the man, it cannot defile him;
- Mark 10:2-3 – And the Pharisees came to him, and asked him, Is it lawful for a man to put away his wife? tempting him. 3 And he answered and said unto them, What did Moses command you?
- Notice in this exchange below how Jesus is, as always, in charge, in control and therefore answers the questions of these hypocrites with questions and puts them to work – because He knew the hypocrisy of their hearts and what was behind their foolish questions.
Mark 12:14-17 – And when they were come, they say unto him, Master, we know that thou art true, and carest for no man: for thou regardest not the person of men, but teachest the way of God in truth: Is it lawful to give tribute to Caesar, or not? 15 Shall we give, or shall we not give? But he, knowing their hypocrisy, said unto them, Why tempt ye me? bring me a penny (Jesus puts them to work), that I may see it. 16 And they brought it. And he saith unto them, Whose is this image and superscription? And they said unto him, Caesar’s. 17 And Jesus answering said unto them, Render to Caesar the things that are Caesar’s, and to God the things that are God’s. And they marvelled at him.
- By Jesus telling these men that they did err, were in error, because they didn’t know the “scriptures, neither the power of God” which comes from proper relationship with Him, He was in part directing them to get into the Word where the answers are found. Mark 12:18, 20-24 – Then come unto him the Sadducees, which say there is no resurrection; and they asked him, saying, … 20 Now there were seven brethren: and the first took a wife, and dying left no seed. 21 And the second took her, and died, neither left he any seed: and the third likewise. 22 And the seven had her, and left no seed: last of all the woman died also. 23 In the resurrection therefore, when they shall rise, whose wife shall she be of them? for the seven had her to wife. 24 And Jesus answering said unto them, Do ye not therefore err, because ye know not the scriptures, neither the power of God?
- Luke 2:48-49 – And when they saw him, they were amazed: and his mother said unto him, Son, why hast thou thus dealt with us? behold, thy father and I have sought thee sorrowing. 49 And he said unto them, How is it that ye sought me? wist (knew) ye not that I must be about my Father’s business?
- Luke 6:1-3 – And it came to pass on the second sabbath after the first, that he went through the corn fields; and his disciples plucked the ears of corn, and did eat, rubbing them in their hands. 2 And certain of the Pharisees said unto them, Why do ye that which is not lawful to do on the sabbath days? 3 And Jesus answering them said, Have ye not read so much as this, what David did, when himself was an hungred, and they which were with him; 4 How he went into the house of God, and did take and eat the shewbread, and gave also to them that were with him; which it is not lawful to eat but for the priests alone?
- Luke 10:25-26 – And, behold, a certain lawyer stood up, and tempted him, saying, Master, what shall I do to inherit eternal life? 26 He said unto him, What is written in the law? how readest thou?
- Luke 10:29,36 – But he, willing to justify himself, said unto Jesus, And who is my neighbour? … 36 Which now of these three, thinkest thou, was neighbour unto him that fell among the thieves?
- Luke 12:41-43 – Then Peter said unto him, Lord, speakest thou this parable unto us, or even to all? 42 And the Lord said, Who then is that faithful and wise steward, whom his lord shall make ruler over his household, to give them their portion of meat in due season? 43 Blessed is that servant, whom his lord when he cometh shall find so doing.
- Luke 18:18-19 – And a certain ruler asked him, saying, Good Master, what shall I do to inherit eternal life? 19 And Jesus said unto him, Why callest thou me good? none is good, save one, that is, God.
- As Jesus “taught the people … and preached the gospel”…. wicked religionists hurled questions with evil intent, questioning Christ’s authority. As His custom was, Jesus answered them with a question.
Luke 20:1-4 – And it came to pass, that on one of those days, as he taught the people in the temple, and preached the gospel, the chief priests and the scribes came upon him with the elders, 2 And spake unto him, saying, Tell us, by what authority doest thou these things? or who is he that gave thee this authority? 3 And he answered and said unto them, I will also ask you one thing; and answer me: 4 The baptism of John, was it from heaven, or of men?
- John 8:3-10 – And the scribes and Pharisees brought unto him a woman taken in adultery; and when they had set her in the midst, 4 They say unto him, Master, this woman was taken in adultery, in the very act. 5 Now Moses in the law commanded us, that such should be stoned: but what sayest thou? 6 This they said, tempting him, that they might have to accuse him. (notice Jesus’ response to their question here – He didn’t answer it verbally but with this action) But Jesus stooped down, and with his finger wrote on the ground, as though he heard them not. 7 So when they continued asking him, he lifted up himself, and said unto them, He that is without sin among you, let him first cast a stone at her. 8 And again he stooped down, and wrote on the ground. 9 And they which heard it, being convicted by their own conscience, went out one by one, beginning at the eldest, even unto the last: and Jesus was left alone, and the woman standing in the midst. 10 When Jesus had lifted up himself, and saw none but the woman, he said unto her, Woman, where are those thine accusers? hath no man condemned thee?“

America
America is Under Divine Judgment [podcast]
Chasing the American dream all the way to hell? Are you bowing before your Maker who came and died to save you from sin and this world? Or, are you bowing before “old glory—the red, white, and blue”?
“Because thou sayest, I am rich, and increased with goods, and have need of nothing; and knowest not that thou art wretched, and miserable, and poor, and blind, and naked:” Revelation 3:17
Every person reading these very words is making his eternal bed in Heaven or in hell.
“Multitudes, multitudes in the valley of decision: for the day of the LORD is near in the valley of decision.” Joel 3:14
“Know ye not, that to whom ye yield yourselves servants to obey, his servants ye are to whom ye obey; whether of sin unto death, or of obedience unto righteousness?” Romans 6:16
Those bowed truly before Christ and no idol, are about His “business” which is the Great Commission He gave us! Oh, and He holds you fully accountable to obey, to do it. Read the very end of Matthew and Mark.
If you are not deliberately, integrally involved in the Great Commission mandate Jesus gave His people, you are out of the will of God.
Evangelism! (Mark 16:15-20) Teaching God’s Word (Matthew 28:18-20).
AMERICA’S ENEMY INVASION
In the Bible, we read of how God allowed foreign empires like the Assyrians and Babylonians to invade, conquer, and exile Israel and Judah as a form of divine discipline and covenant judgment for their persistent idolatry, social injustice, and refusal to repent.
One source notes:
“The Theological Framework of Judgment
- The Covenant: God made a conditional agreement (covenant) with ancient Israel. Obedience brought protection and blessing; disobedience brought explicit warnings of national defeat and dispersion (e.g., Deuteronomy 28).
- Using Foreign Nations: Prophets like Isaiah and Habakkuk explain that God sovereignly used ruthless empires (calling Assyria the “rod of my anger”) as instruments of correction against His own unfaithful people.
- The Limits of Judgment: While God used these empires to punish Israel, the Bible notes He also held those invading nations accountable for their own extreme cruelty, arrogance, and subsequent destruction (e.g., Isaiah 10, Jeremiah 50–51).”
THIS IS EXACTLY WHAT HAPPENS TO ANY NATION THAT FORSAKES GOD. – “The wicked shall be turned into hell, and all the nations that forget God” (Psalms 9:17). America is under divine judgment. See Jeremiah 18.
“The LORD is known by the judgment which he executeth: the wicked is snared in the work of his own hands. Higgaion. Selah. 17 The wicked shall be turned into hell, and all the nations that forget God.” Psalms 9:16-17
“At what instant” (marked space in time)
It seems God has His timing in judging nations and history records…..
It is more than obvious that America is not repenting. If that’s the case, what future does America have?
Jeremiah 18:7-10
“At what instant (marked place in time) I shall speak concerning a nation, and concerning a kingdom, to pluck up, and to pull down, and to destroy it;
8 If that nation, against whom I have pronounced, turn from their evil, I will repent of the evil that I thought to do unto them.
9 And at what instant I shall speak concerning a nation, and concerning a kingdom, to build and to plant it;
10 If it do evil in my sight, that it obey not my voice, then I will repent of the good, wherewith I said I would benefit them.”
How does He judge?
Does He not lift His hand of protection and allow invaders? Read Jeremiah 5-7. This morning as I begin again reading these 3 chapters, what’s happening in America seems to fit for sure. And no president can save America from the LORD’s judgment. The only hope would be the true repentance of the people.
THIS IS EXACTLY WHAT HAPPENS TO ANY NATION THAT FORSAKES GOD. – “The wicked shall be turned into hell, and all the nations that forget God” (Psalms 9:17). America is under divine judgment. See Jeremiah 18.
What Bible verse or passage comes to your mind when you think of being possessed by an eternal perspective? How about this one?
“For which cause we faint not; but though our outward man perish, yet the inward man is renewed day by day.
17 For our light affliction, which is but for a moment, worketh for us a far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory;
18 While we look not at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen: for the things which are seen are temporal; but the things which are not seen are eternal.” 2 Corinthians 4:16-18
PRAYER: My Father in Heaven, in the name of Jesus, please imbue this Your vessel with the eternal perspective Your Word communicates. Bless me to be a consummate soul winning person, with my hands gripping the plow of Your Great Commission command. In the name of Jesus. Amen.
“Why would we put our hope in a country that belongs to our arch enemy? (2 Corinthians 4:4). As scripture clearly tells us this earth will vanish like smoke (Isaiah 51:6). We are looking for a new heaven and new earth! (Revelation 21). Where God will dwell among us! We will be His people and drink from the fountain of life forever and ever! That is my hope! Not this wicked fallen world!” Karen Cochran
