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?

How Can One Challenge God?

How Dare We Think We Know Better?

In all of my life, I have never seen so many people challenge what God wrote in the Bible. Yes, God had man write what is in the Bible. But God inspired every word and every placement of each word for our benefit.

I am speaking to Christians of today, which seems to be a falling number as the days go by. People that are willing to believe that Christ died on the cross and rose three days later so that we can be free from the chains that sin had on our life. Chains that we brought into our own lives, He paid for willingly, and that His Word is our Truth to live by. I am not speaking to the people that do not believe in Christ, although I would hope that you would come to know Him and how much He loves you and what He gave for your righteousness that you do not even deserve. He loves you so much that He died for you!

All one has to do is turn on the news, the very biased news at that, and see that we are in very dire times. It is actually dangerous time for Christians. We love Jesus with all of our hearts and yet there are so many Christians that will have the nerve to turn away from what God has given to us as a blessing, His Holy Bible. Even reading what the Bible says about how men will turn away from the truth, they turn away from the very truth that is written before them just so they can coddle their flesh, just so they can have their own way, without even realizing that God has given these instructions for our very own good, for our very own life, for our souls to live forever. Not to die in the Lake of Fire.

I find it all very fascinating actually, I used to wonder how the falling away could actually happen. How could people look away from God knowing that it was going to happen ahead of time? How could this happen? Flesh. Our own desires. Our own greed. If we do not bow down before God and ask and beg and plead for our forgiveness, our lives will come to a very horrible end.

Perhaps the horrible news has something to do with that, perhaps they are afraid to stand up for God, and perhaps they are just a part of the deceiving ways of Satan, the falling away. Whatever the reason may be, just know that if you will stand for God to the end He will lift you up and He will glorify you, and you will live for eternity with Him

This world has become more enticed by the fleshly desires and it has ever in all of time. Our children grow up seeing more nudity than they should have the horror of having to witness. Their innocence is taken before they are even able to be innocent. It breaks my heart for the children today. The sin that fills our lives that they have no control over ruins their chances of having a normal life before it even begins, it breaks my broken heart for them into more bits.

What is wrong with what God has commanded, what is wrong with the love that He has shown, what is wrong with Him warning us of what Satan would trick us with? Nothing! There is nothing wrong with the Bible, it is with our dark heart and our dark desires that are lacking in seeing the love that God has given in the pages of the Bible. Our hearts sees it as harshness, as a lack of fun and excitement. When the truth is that if we would walk within It's walls we would know peace and happiness beyond what we could ever imagine in this world. And then comes the next world! Is it not worth it?! I refuse not to find out!

You cannot call yourself a Christian, and not try to live as the Holy Spirit leads you to live. But you're only fooling yourself if you try. The Holy Spirit would never tell you to live a life contrary to the Bible and what it teaches. The Bible itself tells you that is how you know the false prophets from the true. They will teach you the opposite of what the Bible says. How this plain truth can go past the eyes of people I do not understand other than they have a veil across their eyes. They have a veil of wanting sin across their faces that they refuse to accept the truth of what God has mandated in the Bible as good and evil.

The Bible is clear that man's ways are not God's ways, and though we may not understand that or want to accept that, God only wants the best for us, He created us out of love, and when He returns for us, anything you could have imagined as good on this planet, in this life, means nothing compared to what is to come. If you will only trust Him.

God loves each and everyone of us, though each and every one of us sins. Myself included. Just because we sin, it does not mean that He made us that way. He made us perfect and we allowed sin into our lives, we allow death into our lives, and He gave His only begotten Son to fix that. If you do not accept Christ as your Savior you cannot accept the title Christian, and if you do not accept the title of Christian with a heart of repentance, you are but a mere actor, you are not a Christian. 

Judge what is right and wrong for yourself by the Bible's Words and live as God asks, not as you wish, I'd love to worship Him in Heaven some day alongside you. Judging ppl is His job, and He will be doing it soon. Pray, along with me, to be strong enough to stand for Him on that day.

Those that speak out against sin do not hate you or anyone else, they are trying to save other souls from the grips of the devil. Satan knows his time is short, so those speaking against sin are not speaking against people, they are speaking for people. God bless and keep you all.
