I’m tired of the “experts” who think they know more about God’s Word than God does!  I’m not an expert, but I love God and His pure Word.  I trust God to protect His Word (Psalm 12:6-7) as He has done through His church.  The constant changing of His Word ….treating the Word as a mere book which has no authority (a standard)…..I just learned about a new bible called the NET bible.  It is the same as all the rest.  It too also calls Jesus a lier and damed like all the others thous lacking the “full” counsel of God.  What is scarry it “appears” this NET bible was given to nationally known translator organization, if if true…we as Christains may be sending people who have not had the Word to hell when new language translations from this new bible.  Only the pure word of God in English is the King James Bible.  People need to repent and study to show themselves approved…rightly dividing the Word (2 Timothy 2:15, 2:25).  By the way, you will need the King James Bible Psalm 12 to understand its proper meaning…the modern corruption versions have changed the Psalm.

I’ve been thinking about this.  We Christians talk a lot about “relationship” for a word which does not appear anywhere in the King James Bible.  It may appear in the new  critical/corrupt text of the modern versions.  I have not checked.

Although the word “relationship” does not appear in the Bible, its concept is clearly shown through examples in the Bible.  The primary verse depicting relationship is John 3:16: For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. Another verse to consider is Ephesians 5:23-25; For the husband is the head of the wife, even as Christ is the head of the church: and he is the saviour of the body.  Therefore as the church is subject unto Christ, so let the wives be to their own husbands in every thing.  Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ also loved the church, and gave himself for it;

A marriage is probably the best example.  It is a human realtionship with both an emotional and physical side.  Lets see if Webster’s Dictionary is any help.

RELA’TIONSHIP, noun The state of being related by kindred, affinity or other alliance.

RELA’TION, noun [French from Latin relatio, refero.]

1. The act of telling; recital; account; narration; narrative of facts; as a historical relation. We listened to the relation of his adventures.

2. Respect; reference; regard.
I have been importuned to make some observations on this art, in relation to its agreement with poetry.

3. Connection between things; mutual respect, or what one thing is with regard to another; as the relation of a citizen to the state; the relation of a subject to the supreme authority; the relation of husband and wife, or of master and servant; the relation of a state of probation to a state of retribution.

4. Kindred; alliance; as the relation of parents and children.

5. A person connected by consanguinity or affinity; a kinsman or kinswoman. He passed a month with his relations in the country.

It would appear for our purposes the example of a marriage is strongest.  We have a special relation with Jesus due to His work accomplished at the cross, His death, and His resurrection.  This relationship results in both a physical and emotional connection with God through His Christ.  God wants this relationship…I would not have it any other way.   Thank you Lord Jesus for creating the bridge between a sinner like me and God to have a relation through You Lord Jesus for all eternity.  I praise Your Name.

I just finished a book by Charles Swindoll entitled “Paul, A Man og Grace and Grit.”   It was well written biography based on Acts.   The book is 343 pages divided in 22 chapters.  You can not go wrong to read this and be blesses by doing so.

The more I read our Lord’s Word, the more understanding He gives me that “nothing” is done, thought of, belived on or of, salvation, sanctification, justficatiob, cried over, loved, married, child birth, growth, graduation, work, death, glorification, sickness, disease, desired, understood, played, acted on, eaten, prayed, worshiped, missioned, etc… without God’s Grace.

I do not understand why the Christian Community is going overboard finding God in the release of Disney’s Beauty and the Beast.  Our community does this often trying to lace Christ on top of secular issues and commodities. We continue to follow the error of Constantine.  Remember he gave us Easter and Christmas to stop Christian participation in the pagan festivals for those days.  While it may be worthy to look for Jesus in the movie, I can assure you Disney did not produce this movie for the Christian.  My concern is our ability to overlook the sin and give support to these commodities. Notice here, I am “not” calling for a boycott.  I’m reminded of Scripture which  2 Corinthians 6:14-17  “Be ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers: for what fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness? and what communion hath light with darkness?   And what concord hath Christ with Belial? or what part hath he that believeth with an infidel?  And what agreement hath the temple of God with idols? for ye are the temple of the living God; as God hath said, I will dwell in them, and walk in them; and I will be their God, and they shall be my people.   Wherefore come out from among them, and be ye separate, …. ”  I have read many a glowing article from Moms , Preachers, and everybody else and when I try to examine them with others, I get push back….no one wants to address the evil, but we live in evil times and only the second coming of our Lord will resolve these evils of the day. Is the church incapable of distinguishing between good and evil? Do we simply go along?   No…” Jude 1:21-23  Keep yourselves in the love of God, looking for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ unto eternal life. And of some have compassion, making a difference:  And others save with fear, pulling them out of the fire; hating even the garment spotted by the flesh.”   I’m sorry, marriage or “sexual relationship” outside of God’s design (one man with one women within marriage) should not be accepted in “any form” by the church because it “just a movie.” Does it become alright because “we had a talk?”  When we allow this evil to enter our minds, subconscious, and souls unfiltered, how can we be making a difference?  How do we “renew” our minds (Romans 12:2) when we fill our mind with God on Sunday and all the secular trash during the week?  I don’t have the answer and so it continues…

The following article is well written and mostly “on target” for the issue it discusses.  The only item the author did not consider is the simple fact not many in the US read the real  Word of God.  Like I have said in other posts, the last true Word of God in the English language is the King James Bible.  It is the “purified Word.”  The church has lost its moral direction because the church no longer reads the “pure Word of God.”  The new critical text bibles are only man’s words infected with corrupt lexicons.  Lexicons is a discussion for a later post. Blessings…. Now the article:

Why does it seem like much of America respects Islam’s evil agenda and the LBGTQ agenda but does not respect the church’s righteousness? Could it be that we’ve not been righteous?

It is time to make a change.

There’s a false love that has crept into Western Christianity today that has made the Church limp. This false love has a way of subtly making us feel righteous, but it’s a synthetic righteousness. I’m speaking of this false concept of love as a sentiment of total acceptance, free of the ability to hate, which is one of the most popular rationales for which many believers are abandoning the truth and authority of the Scriptures in this hour.

I believe the Obama administration and its far leftist ideology were instrumental in pushing the envelope and creating such a militant aggression in our society today that is demanding people love and accept others regardless of their actions. The focus of what many call love today is based on accommodating people’s ungodly and sinful lifestyles and idiosyncrasies, and frankly, even abominable behavior. This new sentiment is shaping public policy and being used as a standard of morality in evaluating people’s behavior. The riots and protests in our streets are evidence of this. Even many Christians are falling for it, and demonic doctrines and damnable heresies are spreading.

Undoubtedly our nation was already moving in this direction, but it was finally and totally turned upside down during the corrupt Obama administration, and I’m afraid this upside-down effect, which calls good evil and evil good; light darkness and darkness, light; bitter sweet, and sweet bitter—has infiltrated the church and profaned it. Professing Christians who voted for Obama, the great deceiver (his true colors are showing now, and this is becoming much more obvious—see below), are among those who live in a false love and false righteousness and display so little godly discernment. This attitude is a fungus in the church that calls for every pastor to train his people in true love and righteousness.

I knew an old-time 85-year-old Pentecostal preacher who made altar calls in his meetings for Christians who voted for Obama. What? Yes, no kidding! You can argue with his approach, but he was righteous for holding them accountable and making it an issue in the church. Were people offended? Of course, some were, but some actually repented, and you can repent, too if you duped into voting for him. Hey, when you’re 85 years old, you can pretty much say anything you want. Ha!

Lack of accountability is a huge problem in our churches today, especially among preachers. It’s a problem because no one wants to confront difficult and sensitive issues for fear of being labeled a pious, holier-than-thou snob. We crave the approval of man and want people to like us (we’ve confused Jesus’ command to love with being liked). “Don’t judge them, just love them” seems to be the Christian mantra these days. The problem is that you can’t truly love anyone without exercising righteous judgement. Love as only a gesture of sentimentality and sympathy without righteous judgement is a false love—the very cancer that is killing the church and making her lukewarm and good-for-nothing. This is not the way to become salt and light in our society.

The greatest tragedy has been that we’ve carried this attitude into our gospel message and preached for itching ears, giving heed to seducing spirits and doctrines of demons.

It is obvious now that Obama’s true colors are showing more and more as word is he has established a shadow government, really a devil’s nest, if you will, two miles from the White House, to undermine the actions of Trump’s presidency (refer to my post-election Charisma article which now has proven to be a very accurate prophetic vision a minister shared with me: (“Are We In More Danger With Obama Out of Office Than In?”). Nobody will say it because of so called respect for the office of the Presidency, but the rules changed under the Obama administration. Let’s call him what he is. He is a thug himself. I’m bracing now for the “you’re a (obscenity) racist” remarks. Does this offend your sensibilities, oh Christian?

Author Larry Alex Taunton shows us where real offense needs to manifest:

I urge you to be offended instead by the way God’s name is blasphemed in our country every day; by the 54 million children murdered in the holocaust of abortion since 1973; by the sordid sexual agenda that is eroding the very fabric of Western civilization; by the fact that Christians are dying for their faith, largely at the hands of Muslims, at a rate of 100,000 per year; and, most of all, by the reality that these things are being ignored, trivialized or celebrated. These are things that offend me deeply, and I hope they offend you, too. Righteous anger has a place within the Christian life. Tap into it. In the words of Ephesians 4:26, “Be angry but do not sin.”

Let’s be honest. The last eight years in our nation have been disastrous. A culture of offense and division has been created. People are not only offended by politics, but also by every part of religion that exposes their sinful humanity. If anything touches their “me” button they either pine like a wounded dog or seethe like a perturbed snake. You can’t touch their race, color, political party, favorite candidate, favorite preacher or superstar celebrity, or now their sexual orientation or anybody’s sexual orientation, for that matter. The “me” generation will now fight for a boy having sex with a boy, a girl having sex with a girl, a boy becoming a girl or a girl becoming a boy. And if you disagree with them, by golly, they’ll take you to court and strip you of your life’s earnings.

What has our nation become?

Here are two painful realities:

1. This change in our nation’s psyche has come primarily from a very small subculture. A subculture among whom the LGBTQ community represent the loudest and most brash—who, at best, represent 2-3 percent of our overall culture. Let’s use them as an example.

If a tiny subculture can create this kind of revolutionary change and bring the entire nation to a forcing point of accepting and celebrating this abominable identity—even bringing the highest court in our land to legalize same-sex marriage, what could the glorious church of the Lord Jesus Christ do, if we as a righteous subculture walked in God’s truth, power, and authority—and a true love? The LGBTQ community pushed the “hate” button” so many times, which in turn pushed a segment of the church into this false concept of love. Actually, the words “hate” and “hater” have become a slogan now, especially among our young people. There were other factors that produced this change, of course, but this is one glaring example that caused many to cave in to the culture and conform to its extreme leftist ideology. This brings me to my second point, and the most painful reality.

2. The church is to blame.

Instead of impacting the culture, we have conformed to it. We have believed the lie that people, especially our youth, are incapable of hearing the real gospel (The Real Gospel), but would prefer a hybrid version of it. The constant popular emphasis on making the gospel relevant to our culture is obnoxious and misguided because it’s based on the error that modern people must be reached on a humanistic level of their self-interest. We’ve believed the lie that people, especially our youth, are incapable of patiently hearing the real gospel before becoming offended by its demands of righteousness and holiness. But aren’t we forgetting that the gospel is the power of God unto salvation (Rom. 1:16)? Aren’t we forgetting what the mighty Holy Spirit can do? There is not only power in the gospel to save, but to heal, deliver and set men free. When the power is in demonstration, you can tell people anything, and they will gladly hear it. And therein lies the problem—the lack of power and presence of God in our churches (Refer to this present-hour burning word, Passing On The Move Of God To The Next Generation).

Preaching a hybrid version of the gospel in an attempt to make it relevant to society is putting people’s faith in the wisdom of men instead of the power of God (1 Cor. 2:4-5). Nothing could be further from the truth than saying that people, especially our youth, don’t want to hear the unfiltered and unapologetic gospel message. The devil is hijacking our culture because of this lie. If our watered-down, hybrid, fake version of the gospel is so great, why are we losing our culture?

What kind of results has the user-friendly church achieved over the last 20 years from preaching a watered-down, candy-coated, milquetoast message? We’ve lost morality, marriage, the family, our youth and our liberties. What part of our hybrid gospel message has worked?

Thank God for the remnant of churches and preachers who have not caved in and compromised. Thank God for every God-fearing preacher in the land. They are my true brothers and sisters, but we need many more to join the ranks. There are so many of us evangelicals represent a whopping 26 percent of our nation. If every one of us jumped on board and took a real stand for truth and righteousness and combined it with holy fire, the power of God and true love, what could we, the living church, accomplish?!

In the final analysis, the reason too many have caved in to our culture is because we are wimpy. Plain and simple. Our gospel is a bark at best. Our message has lost its teeth. Years ago, we went to church to hear a word from God and to become good. Today we go to church to hear how wonderful we are and to feel good. My own college-age millennial son tells me he’s tired of going to church and not being challenged. Most of our preaching lacks painful conviction and is bereft of the true power of God that leads to glorious repentance and true conversion. Such “doctrinal malpractice” has given us a generation of men who are what C.S. Lewis called “men without chests.” A large portion of our preachers and churches have become wimps.

It’s time to develop some real backbone and take a stand for truth and righteousness. It’s time to put away this false concept of love and walk in the love that speaks the truth. It’s time for preachers to get a word from God and preach with fire in their bellies. It’s time to put our faith in the power of God to change our culture instead of the wisdom of men. It’s time to stop conforming to our culture and actually impact it.

Repentance might be a good place to start.

Isn’t the responsibility of the Christian to become more like Jesus? Exchanging the carinal things for Spiritual things thous making the Spiritual things of Christ a physical reality in one’s life? This is often evident in a Sunday School or Bible Study session. It seems most people, no all, when face with a commandment of Jesus, they keep that command in a spiritual box for Sundays and other Christian functions. Sometimes I just want to scream.

Is this because we walk not by the same faith Abraham had (Gen 15:6)?

Reading today and came across this amazing verse:  “The Lord gave the word: great was the company of those that published it.”  Psalm 68:12.  It is full and  a profound message.

In many places of the Bible, God has warned mankind not to add to or take away from His Word. For example:

Deuteronomy 4:2 Ye shall not add unto the word which I command you, neither shall ye diminish aught from it, that ye may keep the commandments of the Lord your God which I command you.

Proverbs 30:5-6: Every word of God is pure: he is a shield unto them that put their trust in him. Add thou not unto his words, lest he reprove thee, and thou be found a liar.

Revelation 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: 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.

Every critical text/modern version (CT/MV) does exactly this by writing to thoughts (dynamic equivalent) and not word for word (formal equivalent). The experts even have a new hybrid word which escapes me now. The CT/MV also remove or replace the “ye,” “thee,” “thou,” and verb endings “est” and “eth.” This forces the reader to make his/her own interpretation of what the Bible is saying and destroying very important theological distinctions (which Satan loves). No, these endings are not archaic words or endings. Heck, the English did not ever talk or write this way. As a matter of fact, Shakespear did not write this way. This is Biblical English developed by the writers of the KJB to accurately correspond with the Greek and Hebrew text underlining our KJB.

Since God’s Word is not open to private interpretation (2 Peter 1:20 knowing this first, that no prophecy of the scripture is of any private interpretation.), G.A Riplinger writes “The Word of God is a legal document. Jesus said, “….the words that I have spoken, the same shall judge him in the last day” (John 12:48). So back to the original question, why hasn’t God dealt with those who change, add to, or take away from his Word? Just maybe, God is waiting for them to repent (2 Timothy 2:25-26 in meekness instructing those that oppose themselves; if God peradventure will give them repentance to the acknowledging of the truth; and that they may recover themselves out of the snare of the devil, who are taken captive by him at his will.)

There, I said it and asked the question. Below are Scripture quotes from the pure Word of God, the King James Bible (KJB) and the most vile book, the New International Version (NIV). It is not God’s intension to send people to Hell, well maybe except the Nicolaitanes (but this is a topic for a different time).

I don’t have the answer to this question but know the Church must repent and realign with God’s intention for marriage. The contention here is Verse 3 of the 7th Chapter of Romans.

In the KJB, Romans 7:3 So then if, while her husband liveth, she be married to another man, she shall be called an adulteress: but if her husband be dead, she is free from that law; so that she is no adulteress, though she be married to another man.

The same verse from the NIV, Romans 7:3 So then, if she has sexual relations with another man while her husband is still alive, she is called an adulteress. But if her husband dies, she is released from that law and is not an adulteress if she marries another man.

In the KJB 1 Corinthians 6:9-10 Know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? …. nor adulterer…. shall inherit the kingdom of God.

The NIV 1 Corinthians 6:9-10 Or do you not know that wrongdoers will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived: …. nor adulterers…. nor swindlers will inherit the kingdom of God.

The KJB is clear the “married” is the adulator. The NIV changes the text to “sexual relations.” God’s pure Word intended marriage to be a-once-in-life event. The Lord and Paul permit divorce but neither allowed the “remarriage” only under the condition of death. So then the question becomes one of eternal consequence, by allowing the wholesale remarriage after divorce is the Church sending people to Hell? I don’t have an answer for Saints who are or who have family and other loved ones in the “re-married” situation. I continue to pray for grace and mercy and repentance of the Lord’s Church.
