COMMON DECEPTION/LIE:

“But I can’t understand the King James Bible. It’s too hard to understand.”

REPLY:

Not true. This is a common, debunked deception. If the Holy Ghost is our Teacher and gave us His Word – KJB for English people, He will teach all who read it and not a fake “bible” …. my son was genuinely saved at 4.5 years old and all he was given was the KJB. Take a look friend…

“For I am the LORD, I change not.” Malachi 3:6

As the creation of God, we don’t understand much of what happens when we eat physical food and yet to nourish our bodies. We don’t question it. No, we just eat food in order to satisfy our hunger and to nourish our bodies, right?

That’s how it is with God’s Word. Though our understanding is minimal, we, as Jesus’ born again saints hunger for more of Him and know we must be filled daily with His divine nutrients. So, we ingest His Word to nourish our hearts!

“As newborn babes, desire the sincere milk of the word, that ye may grow thereby: 3 If so be ye have tasted that the Lord is gracious.” 1 Peter 2:2-3 

Some today whine about supposedly not being able to understand the King James Bible.

Understanding is not what’s most important. Understanding will come yet it’s not the highest priority. God is. Being a person of integrity toward God is priority. Think about this: It would be like alienating the affections of your heart away from your own husband to another man who is not your husband just because you don’t yet fully understand your husband. The new “bibles” are clearly an attack on our Bridegroom Jesus. Oh and understanding comes from the true Word of God and Holy Ghost, right? (See John 14:26; 16:13-14; 1 John 2:20, 27.) That’s what Jesus taught. 

“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

WHY would God have gone through the trouble of keeping His own promise to have His Word translated into our language if we weren’t going to be able to understand it in our own language? THAT is an indictment against the Almighty and some are foolishly making such an indictment.

MESSAGE RECEIVED:

“The fact is I have a 7th grade education, and will not read anything but the King James Bible … It depends on how much you want to know about our Savior and how much you love Him, or not I think as to what you will read…cause all those other versions are just what they are, mere versions…. changed and rearranged!” Jeanette

REPLY:

Exactly. The only thing that needs many versions is a lie. Think about how SELF serving it is to say “Lord, I know Your enemy Satan has attacked You by changing Your words and yet, I like his books better than Yours because it’s easier for me to read.” Wow! Let’s think about that for a moment: What would you think of a family where the wife was an author and yet her husband didn’t read her books but rather read the books of other women authors. How would that wife feel as she walked around their house and passed her husband as he sat and read some other woman’s book? How would that make her feel? Can you say spiritual adultery? Adulterous heart? Yep. How does God feel as He looks down from Heaven at those who read “bibles” from mere human authors who slapped “Holy Bible” on the cover to make it look like it’s His Word? Oh, and they did so to earn royaltie$? That’s why all English versions are copyrighted except the King James Bible.

People say “I use the King James Bible but I also compare it with other Bibles.”

Comparing versions is a deception: As if God needs us to check the devil’s counterfeits to make sure HIS Word is correct OR because we don’t take Him at His Word in the KJB. Wow. Stop it now. Trash them. Picture being married to a lovely lady and yet still checking on what her enemies said about her. How would your lovely wife feel about that? How does God feel when His children read His Word KJB but then go check satan’s counterfeits of His Word to see what satan has said. SMH.

Nothing says it like the King James Bible. The language of cheap counterfeit fake “bibles” is trite. They sound like fairy tales and not the Word of the Almighty. WHO in their right mind would trade a Ferrari for a Mazda?

CAN’T UNDERSTAND THE KING JAMES BIBLE? What’s your education level? No offense but I know children who understand the KJB and yet also know full grown adults with college degrees who claim they can’t understand the King James Bible. That’s probably because they’re really not born again (1 Corinthians 2:13-14). My son was genuinely saved at 4.5 years old having received God’s Word via the KJB. If the Holy Ghost is the Teacher, explain why He is unable to teach His own people via His preserved Word? Oh, and explain why you’d rather read a corruption you claim is easier to understand and has butchered the Word of the LORD you claim to love?

UNDERSTANDING GOD’S WORD: The root of the matter is not God or His Word but rather the un-repentant hearts of sinners who have not repented and been saved and therefore live to appease and comfort the false god of self. God only gives understanding to those whom He knows as His own (Mark 4:11; 1 Corinthians 2:13-14; 2 Corinthians 3:14-16, etc.).

God used another Marine recruit, while I was in bootcamp, to speak His KJB Word to me. It put the fear of the LORD which is clean, in me (Psalms 19:9), and led me to Christ saving me from sin and into His kingdom (Colossians 1:12-14). The lame idea of using false “bibles” because people can’t understand the KJB is ridiculous at best.

The late Charles Pray writes:

It’s not so much for you to understand as it is for the Holy Spirit to reveal it to you! There are scholars who have read the Bible many times in their lifetimes but yet found new truths many years later. It’s not that those truths weren’t there before but that God finally chose to reveal them in His time. You read and the Holy Spirit will reveal when it’s time. Amen!”


Question: I know some people who basically refuse to read the KJV because they claim they don’t understand it. However, they are willing to read the NIV. I feel bad recommending the NIV to them if they aren’t willing to read the KJV because I do feel that the KJV is the word of God. But in a case like this, is it better to have them read the NIV over nothing at all?

Answer: A false Bible is not the truth. It’s that simple. I am a kind and soft-hearted person. I would love to tell people it were okay to read other Bibles and just as good for them. That’s my personality. But I cannot. I cannot compromise the truth and tell people that a Bible that is missing or adding or changing the truth is STILL the truth. False Bibles are not “The Truth, The Whole Truth, and Nothing but the Truth.”

I have to tell people the truth. I myself found it out at 17 when I started reading a King James Bible and needed to understand it. This truth is simple: It is by the Holy Ghost that we understand the King James Bible. Look at these scriptures.

Someone wrote:

“I’ve tried to read the Bible, but I can’t understand it.”

The Scriptures tell us that the ‘natural man’ cannon understand the things of the Spirit of God. Most Americans would find it difficult to understand the Chinese language. However a child who is born into a Chinese family can understand every word. That’s why you must be born again with God’s Spirit living within you (John 3:3). The moment you become part of God’s family, the Bible will begin to make sense.” unknown

Luke 24:45 — Then opened he their understanding, that they might understand the scriptures,

1 Corinthians 2:12-16 — Now we have received, not the spirit of the world, but the spirit which is of God; that we might know the things that are freely given to us of God. Which things also we speak, not in the words which man’s wisdom teacheth, but which the Holy Ghost teacheth; comparing spiritual things with spiritual. But the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned. But he that is spiritual judgeth all things, yet he himself is judged of no man. For who hath known the mind of the Lord, that he may instruct him? But we have the mind of Christ. Acts 17:11 — These were more noble than those in Thessalonica, in that they received the word with all readiness of mind, and searched the scriptures daily, whether those things were so.

It is by God’s great grace that we can understand His words. Here is what I did. Just as the Bible says, I pray to the Father (Colossians 3:17; 1 Peter 1:17) in the name of Jesus, God the Son (Matthew 18:20; John 14:13-14; 15:16), and ask that the Holy Ghost reveal the scriptures to me (John 14:26; 15:26; 1 Corinthians 2:12-16).

Since the first day I prayed that way to God, even though I was still in the occult, the Lord began to show me His truth as I read His words in the King James Bible. Two weeks later I was saved!

What’s more, I was amazed to find out two years later in Bible college that what God had shown me about the Bible was correct. What a blessing! And God is “no respecter of persons” (Acts 10:34) so I believe what He did for me He will also do for you or anyone who asks Him.

If we need help with words we do not understand, we use a Bible dictionary or King James Bible Companion. But when we do not understand Bible teaching, we pray to our God, in Jesus’ name, who by the Holy Ghost richly supplies “all things that pertain unto life and godliness” (2 Peter 1:3).

May God bless us all as we read and trust God to understand His preserved words in English, the King James Bible.

Teach the Bible [podcast]


JESUS IS COMING AND THE TRUE BODY OF CHRIST IS “HOLDING FORTH (BOLDLY DECLARING) THE WORD OF LIFE”

Holding forth the word of life; that I may rejoice in the day of Christ, that I have not run in vain, neither laboured in vain.” Philippians 2:16

WHEN you speak God’s Word, you are speaking divine authority.

“These things speak, and exhort, and rebuke with all authority. Let no man despise thee.” Titus 2:15

“And Jesus came and spake unto them, saying, All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth. 19 Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost: 20 Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you alway, even unto the end of the world. Amen.” Matthew 28:18-20

“That the communication of thy faith may become effectual by the acknowledging of every good thing which is in you in Christ Jesus.” Philemon 1:6

“Thy words were found, and I did eat them; and thy word was unto me the joy and rejoicing of mine heart: for I am called by thy name, O LORD God of hosts.” Jeremiah 15:16

Nourishing the Body of Christ

“If thou put the brethren in remembrance of these things, thou shalt be a good minister of Jesus Christ, nourished up in the words of faith and of good doctrine, whereunto thou hast attained.” 1 Timothy 4:6

“All the days of the afflicted are evil: but he that is of a merry heart hath a continual feast.” Proverbs 15:15

The best way to learn is to teach.

HOW well do you know your way around in God’s Word?

Jesus knew His way around God’s Word. Do you? If not, why not?

“And there was delivered unto him the book of the prophet Esaias. And when he had opened the book, he FOUND the place where it was written,” Luke 4:17 

The disciple of Christ must daily and diligently search, study, and learn God’s Word in light of His Great Commission command to us to teach His Word to others (Matthew 28:18-20). Our ability to minister is in large part based on our knowledge of God’s Word or the ability to navigate God’s Word (King James Bible).

MAKE THE DIFFERENCE – OBEY GOD, “PREACH THE WORD.” (2 TIMOTHY 4:2)  

Tip: Always know WHERE you are reading in God’s Word – chapter and verse. You’ll be surprised at the repertoire that begins to build, making you, like Jesus, a good navigator of our LORD’s Word as you preach His Word (Luke 4:17).

Have you ever pondered why there is little or no Scripture being used when listening to someone pretending to be speaking about the LORD? You should wonder (Matthew 7:16, 20; 1 John 4:1).

“Preach the word” is the divine mandate, command (2 Timothy 4:2).

Let us cease to pretend that we represent the LORD when everything we say isn’t coming straight out of His Word. Read that again please.

“If any man speak, let him speak as the oracles (written Word) of God; if any man minister, let him do it as of the ability which God giveth: that God in all things may be glorified through Jesus Christ, to whom be praise and dominion for ever and ever. Amen.” 1 Peter 4:11

Think God is calling you to serve? Good. If He has saved you, He has called you (Ephesians 2:8-10; 4:7). Get lost in His Word every day (Jeremiah 15:16). Read it (Revelation 1:3). Study it (2 Timothy 2:15). Memorize it (Proverbs 4:4). Meditate upon it day and night (Joshua 1:8; Psalm 1). THAT’s your prep for ministry, not going to an antichrist seminary. Jesus inducted you into His school of the Holy Ghost and Word the moment He saved you.

“As I was listening I was thinking of Paul. Who was a very educated man in the law. But after he was saved he spent three years being taught exclusively by the Lord Jesus Himself. And he says he “conferred not with flesh and blood.” But he was taught “by the revelation of Jesus Christ.” (Gal 1:12-18). All of us should be taught by the Lord in His Word and not learned through mere men or books. But by a direct revelation from the Lord Jesus Christ! Jesus is The Word of God (John 1:1, Rev 19:13).” Karen Cochran

WHEN PARENTS GET OLD …

author unknown

WHEN PARENTS GET OLD …

“Let them grow old with the same love that they let you grow … let them speak and tell repeated stories with the same patience and interest that they heard yours as a child … let them overcome, like so many times when they let you win … let them enjoy their friends just as they let you … let them enjoy the talks with their grandchildren, because they see you in them … let them enjoy living among the objects that have accompanied them for a long time, because they suffer when they feel that you tear pieces of this life away … let them be wrong, like so many times you have been wrong and they didn’t embarrass you by correcting you …

LET THEM LIVE and try to make them happy the last stretch of the path they have left to go; give them your hand, just like they gave you their hand when you started your path!

(“Honor your mother and father and your days shall be long upon the earth”.) – God”

“Children, obey your parents in the Lord: for this is right. 2 Honour thy father and mother; (which is the first commandment with promise;) 3 That it may be well with thee, and thou mayest live long on the earth.” Ephesians 6:1-3

Karen Cochran writes:

“A few years ago the Lord spoke to me and I heard honor your Father and Mother. I didn’t know that my Mom would be moving close to me in a few months and I would become her primary helper. It has been one of the biggest challenges of my life because she has dementia and isn’t always kind. I have had to come home many nights and sit at the feet of Jesus and ask forgiveness because I was not like Jesus to her. Then I go back everyday because the Lord commands us to Honor our Mother. He didn’t promise it would be easy. I have to be like Jesus and say Father forgive them for they know not what they do. Luke 23: 34 .As people who have dementia do not know what they are doing or saying.”

Sharing how God is working in her life concerning her relationship with her beloved mother, Karen Cochran writes:

“I had to die to being right. Pride! How could I love her (my mother) with the love of Jesus? How would she see Jesus in me? She would not see Him in me in all my pride and arrogance! By being full of pride, all I did was stir up strife. Proverbs 10:12 ‘Hatred stirreth up strifes: but love covereth all sins.’ Because she would retaliate and would be angry. I had to learn to keep my mouth shut. And it has completely changed our relationship. But first the Lord had to change me and cleanse me from my ‘know it all’ attitude and my pride. I went to the Lord and said ‘why is she (my mother) so mean to me’. The Lord straightened me out quick. It was me not her! I couldn’t control her! All I could do was allow God to root out what was sin in me.”

“Being broken to the core has been a continuous prayer for me. Otherwise my stone heart will hurt someone else that does not deserve to be hurt. Jesus had shown me my resentment against my parents. As I went to their grave, Jesus begin to say, ‘If they hadn’t taken you to Jesus at an early age, you wouldn’t be where you are now.’ I felt all the bitterness, anger, and hatred leave. How gracious is our Savior!” Thomas Cochran
