The things That I See

Daily I am astounded by the things that this world allows to go on unnoticed or unchanged, bad things that affect the futures of not only ourselves but our children. It saddens me greatly, because the worse that it gets, the more desensitized we have let ourselves become to it all.
The more blood and gore in a game, the higher the ratings are, and those silly little age warnings are ignored and little Johnny gets to watch and in some cases even play, these too much to life like games. Robbing, stealing, killing and even raping, all become the norm. Or you become the "good guy" by killing zombies, all while little Suzy is sitting there watching the blood and gore. What is this truly doing to our kids? It is in the least desensitizing them to the awful things that they are seeing in these games, but also what does it tell them about life itself? I can't help but sit and wonder these things, because we as adults, allow it to get worse, all for what? Entertainment? That's what entertainment has become? A mass collection of hatred, murder, guts and gore? Is this truly who we have become as people?
That's just the games, the tv and magazine ads and content has gotten so terrible that most of it is just plain shameful at the very least. Mostly bare skinned women on almost every cover because we adults have to have our fill of entertainment at it's best and advertisers know, sex sells. Who cares what mental damage it does to the children and how much it feeds the sick desires of the rapist or psychopath that just feeds on that kind of thing. There is so much I could write on it would take weeks.
I can't claim innocence, I swore in front of the kids, and did things that I should not have done, however I have since given my life to God, and praises be to Him that He has healed me of a lot of sins that I had in the past. This is part of why it bothers me so much. I also took part in getting society that feared God, to one that will not even hear a negative word about their negative behavior. All because they have their rights to see all of the nearly naked women, drink all of the booze they want to, or play the most horrid games, and watch the most demonic things on tv as they like. And it's sadly true, you do have the right to.
That is the point to this post. The Bible says that all things are lawful to me, but not all things are expedient, or good for you. that is in 1 Corinthians 6:12 if you would like to look it up. It says to not come under anything's power, like become addicted or have to have something over God. Nothing should take the place of God. You should not let anything take control over you, but the Holy Spirit.
In our society, sex, drinking, drugs, and a whole host of things have pushed God aside. Now it is a firm "You can't judge me" if you talk about sin or repenting. All people want to hear about is the loving side of God, Which is the most amazing love you will ever find. But NO ONE wants to hear about the side of God that is a consuming fire. HE will judge you, and that should scare you out of your shoes.
The person that is lovingly trying to save you from sin and offer you a better way, and that's through walking with Christ and giving your life to Him, they are not judging you at all. They have looked at what you are doing and if it goes against God's word, they are trying to save you from Hell!That's an act of love, my friends. That's not trying to throw or cast a stone at you, it's trying to save you from Hell itself, and that is an eternity that you do not want.
Jesus said that not only is adultery a sin, but looking upon another man or woman in a lustful manner is also the same as if you would have committed the sin itself. We must check our behavior and love and obey Him in body, mind and spirit. It is not going to happen ourselves. It will only happen if you truly submit yourself to Him, and read the Word, and allow the Holy Spirit to change you through the teaching that you learn in the word.
My friends, if you do not want to listen to my words, that's your God given right not to, however if you want to change the world for a better place for our children and save them and yourself from Hell, please pray to Jesus and ask Him how you can change your life, what is it in your life that needs to be given to Him so that you an live a happy and fulfilled life in Him. This world is not going to get better unless we humble ourselves and give ourselves to Him. Ask Jesus to be your Guiding Light in this darkened world, and be your Savior. I only tell you this to save you for what is coming, Judgement is coming, it is not going to go away because you simply believe that the 'god' you believe in is only a god of love, because God has to have judgement against evil to be a loving god. and our Father in Heaven will judge the evil of this world as He has done before. He has not done anything out of hate, God cannot hate, GOD IS LOVE! Therefore, I am asking you to go against the crowd, and follow the narrow path. Few will find it. Will I? Will you? I pray we will show ourselves worthy!

God bless you

Gods Words Are Preserved!

Many will say that God's word is not true and not right or has been tampered with and because it's written by man, which it is, but through God through using the Holy Spirit, they deny it's power! But God promised to preserve it, and THAT He has! He knew what would happen before it did happen, He preserved it as only almighty Elohim could!

Psalm 12:6-7  “The words of the LORD are pure words: as silver tried in a furnace of earth, purified seven times. Thou shalt keep them, O LORD, thou shalt preserve them from this generation for ever.” KJV

PSALM 119:160 -- “Thy word is true from the beginning: and every one of thy righteous judgments endureth for ever.”

One of my faves ...
ISAIAH 40:8 -- “The grass withereth, the flower fadeth: but the word of our God shall stand for ever.”

How BLESSED we are, to have His Word to be able to rely upon in all and through all times!  It's been saving and changing people for so long, it actually proves itself! Hallelujah!

Why The KJV?

Why use only the KJV of the Bible?

My intention of writing this blog is not necessarily to change your mind of the version that you use. However, if you are using the NIV version of the Bible, I do in fact hope that you will at least do your own research into the validity, or as I have found, how invalid it is. (Along with other new versions.)

I am not going to make this blog a super lengthly one, as we all are to test everything on our own walk with Christ. I am just offering the question in your mind, is what you're reading, actually the truly inspired Word of God?

2 Timothy 3:16 says that all Scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness. Verse 17 says that this is so the man of God may be perfect throughly furnished unto all good works.

Romans 15:5,6 tells us, now the God of patience and consolation grant you to be likeminded one toward another according to Christ Jesus: that you may with one mind and one mouth glorify God, even the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ.

47 scholars most of which came from the Church of England worked on the King James Version of the Bible. They did not want one person translating the Bible and having a single person's biased view. They wanted to make sure that the Holy Spirit was what was working through them to make the translation pure and what God wanted His people to read.

It took many years, and many lives for the King James Bible to be translated into a language that we may freely read on a daily basis. We are honored beyond what we can understand to have this version in our hands and at our side anytime that we want. Before the King James Version people that did not know Greek or Arabic or Hebrew could not just get their Bibles out and read and be edified by God's Word. They had to go to synagogues and learn from other people.

We are more blessed than we can even understand at times. Many people lost their lives so that we can hold Bibles in our hands, so many times in the spirit of taking advantage of the privilege. I praise and thank God that we have the Holy Spirit to help guide us through the Bible and also the fact that we have the Bible to teach us His ways and how to live a holy life in order to please Him and live in eternity with Him when He returns.

If we are all reading different translations, that change words to supposedly make it sound easier, how are we to become one in mind and spirit in the gospel? We cannot become one if we are believing different things. As you will find in your walk as you change one word it changes the whole meaning of a parable or a whole meaning of a text. One of the things the NIV changes is that Christ blood isn't what gives us the redeeming forgiveness of our sins, it totally takes that phrase out of the Bible, and not is not only heresy but disasterous to a new Christian that does not even know anything of the Christian walk and is earnestly trying to learn.

I'm not claiming to know everything, nor do I claim to be better than anyone because I believe that the King James Version is the version that is the true inspired Word of God, however I do care about my brethren enough to share what I believe to be the truth. As I mentioned already it is up to us, each and every one of us, to test the spirits of everything we take into our lives, especially God's Holy Word. It is eternally important.

I believe that God had those scholars come together and unite in the Holy Spirit to give us the King James Version of the bible.

As always, I welcome friendly debate and conversation about things, but I will not argue with others because I stand on peace. We are to walk in love and we are to bear each other's burdens. We are not to argue with each other, and as I already stated we are to be of one mind there is only one Christ that we should speak of, and when there are so many translations that people are reading from, people are believing in different Christs. Satan deceived Eve with the Word, and he tried to deceive Jesus Himself with the Word. What makes us think that he wouldn't try it with us?

Judging? No, not at all

2 Timothy 4:2-5
Preach the word; be instant in season, out of season; reprove, rebuke, exhort with all longsuffering and doctrine.  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;  And they shall turn away their ears from the truth, and shall be turned unto fables.  But watch thou in all things, endure afflictions, do the work of an evangelist, make full proof of thy ministry.

Jesus sat with the sinners for a reason. For many reasons actually. First of all, He loved them so much that He wanted to show His mercy to them and teach them what about their lives was sinful. Then, the ones that could see His majesty and had faith, those that believed He forgave.
However it did not just end there. He told them to go and sin no more, to turn from their evil ways, to accept His gift and to change their hearts by allowing Him into them, and rejecting the sin out of them.

Nowadays, when you speak about something being sin, you are hushed and called hateful, or even called a bigot, just because you want to show others what Jesus was showing sinners years ago. Sin ruins lives. But this is the generation spoken of in the verses above. They do not wish to hear sound doctrine. They wish to make up their own doctrine and follow that, because it hurts the flesh too much to carry their cross.

Jesus spoke of the end times, which all Christians I believe agree that we are in, and how things would be unlike they had ever been before, and we have not even come to that point of the end times, yet, and already life is becoming immoral and hard for many.

Matthew 24:21-22
For then shall be great tribulation, such as was not since the beginning of the world to this time, no, nor ever shall be. And except those days should be shortened, there should no flesh be saved: but for the elect's sake those days shall be shortened.

But back to judging, which is what so many people claim is going on, if a person is trying to save you from the depths of Hell, they are doing as God has asked, to preach to others, exhort sinners to change before  it's too late. They are not judging you. They are sharing pertinent information that is life saving with you, SOUL saving! They actually care about you.

The gift of salvation is free, you cannot earn it, so many will argue that you can lead a sinful life and still be saved. This is so wrong and sad, honestly if you really understand what Jesus did on that cross for us all. He BECAME SIN for us. Every sin you commit, He felt, He paid for,and some are so willing to keep committing them. So willing to keep the lashings going on. Just because He will save us by believing in Him doesn't mean that we can live wicked lives and still be saved. That's not loving Him, or believing in Him, that's using Him.

I praise God that His punishment was paid and done,but to think of all of my sin being a lashing, a whipping, a pounding of the nails, it hurts my heart. It should hurt yours as well. It should make us not want to sin any more!

Oh, how sinful we are! We must exhort each other, we must help each other if we can, pointing the way back to Jesus where our only hope is! That's not judgment, friends, it's love.

If we truly believe what Jesus did for us and if we truly believe in Him,then we believe in the Word because He IS the Living Word.

When Christ returns He WILL judge you. If a Christian shares scriptures with you, they are loving you. NO Christian should be arrogant or condescending,but merely stating that something is sin, is NOT hate.

If you reject the bible, that is your human right, given by God even if you don't believe that, but acting hateful towards Christians that are just doing what God asked them to do doesn't make you better than a person that would be judging you, even if they were.

People are all about getting offended about things in this day and age. Instead of being offended by someone's beliefs,what's wrong with you kindly saying that isn't for you, and respect each other regardless if you agree?

Christ's gift of Salvation is free, but repentance is what you give in return, with His help by allowing Him to live in your heart. Otherwise you're not changed, you're just deluded into believing that you're born again.
