    Biblical Proof modern version bibles are not Inspired by God, but very deceptive!

    ( 2 Tim 3:16) "All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness". ALL ((TRUE)) scripture is given by Inspiration of God. Inspiration is #2315; it means divinely breathed in. All True scripture is God breathed.

    The KJB says in ( Jn 7:8) "Go ye up unto this feast: I go not up ((yet)) unto this feast; for my time is not full come".

    In the KJB Jesus said "I go not up yet"

    The Nasb bible says "I am not going up to this feast".

    The Niv bible says "I am not going up to this festival".

    The Nlt bible says "I'm not going to this festival".

    The Esv bible says "I am not going up to this feast".

    The Gnt bible says "I am not going to this festival".

    In all these versions in v10 Jesus goes to the feast.

    All modern version bibles say the same thing, Jesus said "I am not going" Then In v10 Jesus went to the feast!

    All modern version bibles have (changed the words) and are saying Jesus lied!! ( Jer 23:36) The word (perverted) is #2015; it means to turn about or over, by implying (to change), pervert. They change or pervert the words of the living God and they show Jesus to be a liar!

    Would that be God breathed?

    Or would that be ( 1 Tim 4:1) .."doctrines of devils"?

    ( 2 Tim 3:16) Would saying Jesus is a liar be "profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness"?

    ( Mt 4:4) .. "It is written, Man shall not live by bread alone, but by (every word) that proceedeth out of the mouth of God".

    EVERY WORD! (KJB Jn 7:8) "I go not up (yet)" EVERY WORD!

    The words of the LORD are pure words ( Ps 12:6-7) v7 preserved for ever.

    ( Proverbs 30:5-6) v5 "(Every word) of God is pure" v6 "Add thou not unto his words, lest he reprove thee, and thou be found a liar".

    The KJB is the scripture that's given by Inspiration of God, the pure words preserved from this generation for ever.

    1 Cor 7:27,

    "Art thou bound unto a wife? seek not to be loosed. Art thou loosed from a wife? seek not a wife."

    1 Cor 7:35,

    "And this(about staying unmarried) I speak for your own profit; not that I may cast a snare upon you, but for that which is comely, and that ye may attend upon the Lord without distraction."

    Well, when I was young and unmarried and I firstly read those verses, I used to think that people like Paul who devote themselves to the Lord completely tend sometimes to go to extremes. After spending 22 years as a married man and going through all those hardships and trials (and fights!!!) that married couples go through when they spend their lives together and also when facing all those troubles in raising a kid (I have one, just think of those who have many), then I conclude that Paul might have been right.

    Have a blessed day or night.

    1 Cor 7:10-11,

    "10And unto the married I command, yet not I, but the Lord, Let not the wife depart ( the grk say "separate") from her husband: 11But and if she depart , let her remain unmarried, or be reconciled to her husband: and let not the husband put away his wife."

    Firstly lets pay attention to that " I command, yet not I, but the Lord", clearly a Lord's command.

    What does the above verse say? It says that if a woman(or man) separates the other then she SHOULD stay unmarried (or go back). So I am really surprised that some christians are always trying to go around such a clear statement. It couldn't be any clearer than that.

    1 Cor 7:12-15,

    "12But to the rest speak I, not the Lord: If any brother hath a wife that believeth not, and she be pleased to dwell with him, let him not put her away

    .....

    13And the woman which hath an husband that believeth not, and if he be pleased to dwell with her, let her not leave him.

    15But if the unbelieving depart, let him depart. A brother or a sister is not under bondage in such cases: but God hath called us to peace."

    Points of attention:

    1. It is Paul's suggestion, not Lord's. Yes but in verse 40 he says "yet I give my judgment, as one that hath obtained mercy of the Lord to be faithful"

    1. Paul's suggestion is that the believer should not separate the other if the other is willing to stay together. If the other wants to separate, let them separate. Those verses in no case allow a believer to separate a non believer. But once the non believer wants to separate let them separate. So can the believer remmary? Here the verses 10-11 are valid. No, they cannot, the verse says " let her remain unmarried, or be reconciled to her husband".

    2. Now lets go to that "A brother or a sister is not under bondage in such cases" in verse 15. The grk says precisely : "ou dedoulotai o adelphos en tois toioutois" which means "the brother is not enslaved inside (or in) these". The latter has many interpretations which I will not go through now.

    In 1 corinthians 13: 3 says "And though I bestow all my goods to feed the poor, and though I give my body to be burned, and have not charity, it profiteth me nothing"

    what does Charity mean in this context because if one bestow his or her goods to feed the poor, its considered as charity

    Mat.5:5-Blessed are the meek:for they shall inherit the earth.

    Rev.5:10-And has made us unto our GOD kings and priests:and we shall reign on the earth.

    How can the meek inherit the earth?

    Zechariah 4:1-6

    1-And the angel that talked with me came again,and waked me, as a MAN that is wakened out of his sleep.

    2-And said unto me,What seest thou?I have looked,and behold

    (1)a candlestick all of gold

    (2)with a bowl upon the top of it, and

    (3)his seven lamps thereon, and

    (4)seven pipes to the seven lamps,which are upon the top thereof:

    3-And two olive trees by it,one upon the right side of the bowl, and the other upon the left side thereof.

    Interpreting the above Scriptures:

    1-Candlestick is the Church(Rev.1:19)of the LORD-His body;

    2-with a bowl upon the top of it:-the bowl is for storing and conserving the oil produced by the two olive trees to the Candlestick-that is for the anointed Church of the LORD;

    3-and his seven lamps thereon:the seven lamps are the seven Spirits of GOD-Rev.4:5;

    4-and seven pipes to the seven lamps which are upon the top thereof(the 7 lamps are 7 spirits of GOD-they are placed on the top of the pipes to enlighten the Church of the LORD,mainly in this time of Apocalypse-END of the times,and establishment of GOD's Kingdom: but NOT by might,nor by power(not by human power),but by my Spirit,saith the Lord of hosts,as is written in Mat.5:5 combined with Rev.5:10)

    4-So I answered and spake to the angel that talked with me, saying,What are these,my lord?

    5-Then the angel that talked with me answered and said unto me,Knowest thou not what these be?And I said,No,my lord.

    6-Then he answered and spake unto me,saying,This is the Word of the Lord unto Zerubbabel,saying,Not by might,nor by power,but by my Spirit,saith the Lord of hosts.

    Revelation 11:15-18

    15And the seventh angel sounded;and there were great voices in heaven,saying,The kingdoms of this world are become the kingdoms of our Lord,and of his Christ;and he shall reign for ever and ever.

    what does Paul mean in 1 Philippians 1:29 when he says it is a privilege granted to us to believe in Christ? does that mean that saving faith is something given to us from God or is it something we produce on our own? I'd love to hear all your thoughts!

    Romans 16:7

    "Salute Andronicus and Junia, my kinsmen (relatives), and my fellowprisoners, who are of note among the apostles, who also were in Christ before me."

    So Paul had relatives who were in Christ before him. I believe that they were certainly praying for him. I believe that God answered their prayers and saved Paul.

    In Galatians 1:15-16 Paul writes, "15 But when it pleased God, who separated me(Paul) from my mother's womb, and called me by his grace, 16 To reveal his Son in me, that I might preach him among the heathen..."

    Here Paul claims that God had chosen him from his mother's womb to send him to preach about Christ.

    SO which one is true? Was Paul saved because some people were praying for him OR because that was God's plan before Paul was born?

    The answer is, both.

    Lets examine it. It was Jesus who appeared to Paul on his way to Damascus. Later God called him to go and preach to the gentiles together with Barnabas, and led them to all the places He intented them to go ( Acts 13:2-4).

    So one expects that God gave them His grace to complete their ministry, doesn't he?

    But lets read Ephessians 6:19, "And (pray) for me, that utterance may be given unto me, that I may open my mouth boldly, to make known the mystery of the gospel," Somewhere else Paul asks for prayers for him to be freed from his enemies.

    So the question is. Why is Paul asking his fellow christians to pray for him to be given words of preaching? Wasn't God who sent him to preach? Wasn't God going to give him words to do what He asked him for?

    Yes it was God who sent him BUT God is expecting us to cooperate with Him. God will not do anything unless we cooperate with Him. He asks for our cooperation, whatever that is, prayers, testimonies, preachings, helping others, ...

    Lets not expect for God to do all things on His own while we are laying lazely on our couches. HE WILL NOT. He demands our cooperation, the offering of ourselves for His purposes. And prayers are very significant. So... lets go.

    Blessings GiGi,

    A question for you: Why do think God took my brother at age 10, which caused my mother and me to live a life full of sorrow, suffering, and grief; without any real healing? My mother was a devout Christian, and from what I was told, my brother was

    a very loving and sweet child. As I mentioned to you before (I think), I was 3 years old, and I'm left with very few memories of him. Sadly, the one that is predominant is witnessing his death and my mother's frantic but futile attempt to revive him. I still cry over her pain.

    I realize this is probably a difficult question to answer.

    One more question, not directly related to the above: Should a Christian feel responsible and guilty and remain in that mode, for the crucifxion of Jesus? How SHOULD I feel?

    Please, please be assured, I am not being contentious with these questions. If anyone else wants to chime in, I welcome that.

    Peace be with you

    VII. True it is, They that are born of the flesh, hate and persecute them that are born of the spirit, who are the circumcision in heart. It seems they cannot own nor worship God after her inventions, methods, and prescriptions, nor receive for doctrine her vain traditions, any more than they can comply with her corrupt fashions and customs in their conversation. The case being thus, from an apostate she becomes a persecutor. It is not enough that she herself declines from ancient purity, others must do so too. She will give them no rest that will not partake with her in that degeneracy, or receive her mark. Are any wiser than she, than mother church? No, no: nor can any make war with the beast she rides upon, those worldly powers that protect her, and vow their maintenance against the cries of her dissenters. Apostasy and superstition are ever proud and impatient of dissent: all must conform or perish. Therefore the slain witnesses, and blood of the souls under the altar, Rev6:9 are found within the walls of this mystical Babylon, this great city of false Christians, and are charged upon her, by the Holy Ghost in the Revelation. Nor is it strange that she should slay the servants who first crucified the Lord: but strange and barbarous too, that she should kill her husband and murder her Saviour; titles she seems so fond of, and that have been so profitable to her; and that she would recommend herself by, though without all justice. But her children are reduced so entirely under the dominion of darkness, by means of their continued disobedience to the manifestation of the divine light in their souls, that they forget what man once was, or they should now be; and know not true and pure Christianity when they meet it; yet pride themselves upon professing it. Their measures are so carnal and false about salvation, they call good evil, and evil good; they make a devil a Christian, and a saint a devil.

    V. Sin is of one nature all the world over; for though a liar is not a drunkard, nor a swearer a whoremonger, nor either properly a murderer, yet they are all of a church; all branches of the one wicked root; all of kin. They have but one father, the devil, as Christ said to the professing Jews, the visible church of that age: he slighted their claims to Abraham and Moses, and plainly told them "That he that committed sin, was the servant of sin." John 8:34,35. They did the devil's works, and therefore were the devil's children. The argument will always hold upon the same reasons, and therefore good still: "His servants ye are," saith Paul, "whom ye obey:" (Rom. vi. 16:) and saith John to the church of old, "Let no man deceive you; he that committeth sin is of the devil." 1 John3:7,8 Was Judas ever the better Christian for crying, Hail, Master, and kissing Christ? By no means; they were the signal of his treachery; the tokens given by which the bloody Jews should know and take him. He called him Master, but betrayed him; he kissed, but sold him to be killed; this is the upshot of the false Christians' religion. If a man ask them, Is Christ your Lord? they will cry, God forbid else: yes, he is our Lord. Very well; but do you keep his commandments? No, how should we? How then are you his disciples? It is impossible, say they. What! would you have us keep his commandments? No man can. What! impossible to do that without which Christ hath made it impossible to be a Christian? Is Christ unreasonable? Does he reap where he has not sown? Require where he has not enabled? Thus it is, that with Judas they call him Master, but take part with the evil of the world to betray him; and kiss and embrace him as far as a specious profession goes; and then sell him, to gratify the passion that they most indulge. Thus as God said of old, they make him serve with their sins and for their sins too. Isa 43:24

    No Cross No Crown continues

    with the whole powers of soul and sense. What shall we eat? What shall we drink? What shall we wear? And how shall we pass away our time? Which[3] way may we gather wealth, increase our power, enlarge our territories, and dignify and perpetuate our names and families in the earth? Which base sensuality is most pathetically expressed and comprised by the beloved Apostle John, in these words: "The lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life," which, says he, "are not of the Father, but of the world, that lieth in wickedness." (1 John, ii. 16.)

    III. It is a mournful reflection, but a truth no confidence can be great enough to deny, that these worldly lusts fill up the study, care, and conversation of wretched Christendom! and, which aggravates the misery, they have grown with time. For as the world is older, it is worse; and the examples of former lewd ages, and their miserable conclusions, have not deterred, but excited ours; so that the people of this seem improvers of the old stock of impiety, and have carried it so much further than example, that instead of advancing in virtue upon better times, they are scandalously fallen below the life of heathens. Their high-mindedness, lasciviousness, uncleanness, drunkenness, swearing, lying, envy, backbiting, cruelty, treachery, covetousness, injustice, and oppression, are so common, and committed with such invention and excess, that they have stumbled and embittered infidels to a degree of scorning that holy religion, to which their good example should have won their affections.

    Another one. Inspired by God, or not?

    The KJB says in ( Col 1:14) "In whom we have redemption through his blood, even the forgiveness of sins".

    The KJB says we have redemption ((THROUGH HIS BLOOD)) Wouldn't that be a TRUE statement?

    The Nasb says "in whom we have redemption, the forgiveness of sins". The Nasb removes the words (through his blood).

    The Niv says "in whom we have redemption, the forgiveness of sins". The Niv removes the words (through his blood).

    The Esv says "in whom we have redemption, the forgiveness of sins". The Esv removes the words (through his blood).

    The Nlt says "who purchased our freedom and forgave our sins". The Nlt removes the words (through his blood).

    The Gnt says "by whom we are set free, that is, our sins are forgiven". The Gnt removes the words (through his blood).

    Should I go on? I really could!

    Who would put their trust in a bible that removes the blood of Jesus Christ from this verse?

    This is the 3rd post that is without a doubt Biblical proof that modern version bibles are corrupt, and not Inspired by God!

    The KJB has again proven itself to be the Inspired Word of God!

    ( Luke 22:20) Jesus says "Likewise also the cup after supper, saying, This cup is the new testament in my blood, which is shed for you".

    The word (blood) is #129; it means (the atoning blood of Christ) by implying bloodshed.

    Would someone with good intentions remove those words in all those modern version bibles?

    Or do you think those bibles are what we are warned about in ( Jer 23:36) and ( 2 Tim 4:3-4)? And maybe even ( 1 Tim 4:1)?

    Anybody want to answer those questions?

    Truth matters!

    Another one! Inspired by God, or not?

    The KJB says in ( Jn 7:8) "Go ye up unto the feast: I go not up yet unto this feast; for my time is not yet full come".

    (Jesus say "I go not up YET"

    The Nasb says "I am not going up to this feast"...

    The Niv says "You go to the festival, I am not going up to this festival"...

    The Nlt says "You go on. I'm not going to the festival"...

    The Esv says "You go up to the feast. I am not going up to this feast"...

    The Gnt says "You go on to the festival. I am not going to this festival"...

    The Csb says "Go up to the festival yourselves. I'm not going up to this festival"...

    All these modern version bibles are saying Jesus is a liar.

    In verse 10 they say this!

    The Nasb says "But when his brothers had gone up to the feast, He Himself also went up"...

    The Niv says "However, after his brothers had left for the festival, he went also"...

    The Nlt says "But after his brothers left for the festival, Jesus also went"...

    The Esv says "But after his brothers had gone up to the feast, then he also went up"...

    The Gnt says "After his brothers had gone to the festival, Jesus also went"...

    The Csb says "After his brothers had gone up to the festival, then he also went up"...

    Is Jesus a liar? That IS Blasphemy!!

    All these modern version bibles are saying Jesus Christ was a liar!!!

    The KJB is the only Bible where Jesus said "I go not up yet", NOT UP YET. And then He went, Jesus was NOT A LIAR!

    All the other bibles said "I am not going" Then He went! That would make Him a liar!

    How could anyone possibly trust a bible that claims Jesus was a liar??

    Anybody want to answer that question?

    All modern version bibles are corrupt!!

    Inspiration of God, or not?

    The KJB says in ( Luke 2:33) "And Joseph and his mother marvelled at the things which were spoken of him".

    The Nasb says "And his father and his mother were amazed at the things which were being said about him".

    The Niv says "The child's father and mother marvelled at what was said about him".

    The Esv says "And his father and his mother marvelled at wat was said"...

    The Nlt says "Jesus' parents were amazed at what was beng said"...

    The Csb says "His father and mother were amazed"...

    The Gnt says "The child's father and mother were amazed"...

    All these modern version bibles claim that Joseph was the father of Jesus.

    Was Joseph the father of Jesus?

    That could be considered Blasphemy! Who would trust such a bible as these?

    The KJB is the Inspired Word of God!

    Romans 15:12'

    "And again, Esaias saith, There shall be a root of Jesse, and he that shall rise to reign over the Gentiles; in him shall the Gentiles trust."

    Firstly instead of "gentiles" the grk says "nations" (grk ethne). And instead of "trust" it says "hope" (grk elpiousin).

    Which is that reign? A literal reign of Jesus with Israel, as some believe? Or as it seems that it talks about a spiritual kingdom where the other nations really put their hope on Him (for salvation).

    And it goes on in verse 13, thus giving a certainty about which is that kingdom.

    "Now the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, that ye may abound in hope, through the power of the Holy Ghost."

    Romans 14:9,

    "For to this end Christ both died, and rose, and revived, that he might be Lord both of the dead and living."

    How could Christ be Lord of the dead if the soul is not alive but dies together with the flesh?

    Compare the above with Luke 20:38,

    "For he is not a God of the dead, but of the living: for all live unto him."

    So really there is not any dead man since their soul is living "unto Him".

    "I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service."

    Cain offered a sacrifice to God. But it wasn't acceptable unto God. Why not? Because God gave specific instructions on how a sacrifice should be offered, Similarly nowadays (think about the word "holy").

    God hates sin. Sin means everlasting death in hell.

    Everyday we live, we are 1 day closer to death, and then our final judgement.

    This life is short. Are you willing to give up this world, and receive eternal life? If not, why not?

    Nothing in this world is worth losing our salvation for, nothing.

    Why do we try to hold on to material things? They don't belong to us. These things were here before we were born, and they will be here when we die. When God destroys this earth as promised, all material things that we see and admire will be destroyed - they mean Nothing!

    God created this earth, and everything that man created came from God's earth. Man's creations do not impress God, so why should they impress us?

    Live for God, store your treasures in heaven.

    Question. When Christians talk to non-believers what is one thing people will say to get them to see, or understand the Truth?

    Answer. When we call on the name of ((the Lord)) we shall be saved.

    ( Acts 2:21) also ( Rom 10:13)

    Now we look at (Lu 23:42) in the KJB. "And he said unto Jesus, ((Lord)), remember me when thou comest into thy kingdom".

    The thief called on the name of the "Lord" (Lu 23:43) "And Jesus said unto him, Verily I say unto thee, To day shalt thou be with me in paradise".

    Here's a number of modern version bibles that remove the "Lord" from that verse.

    The Nasb, the Niv, the Esv, the Rsv, the Nrsv, the Nlt, the Asv, the Amp, the Hcsb, and the Isv.

    Are these modern versions that remove the name "Lord" Inspired by God?

    The answer to this question would have to be, NO, they are not Inspired by God.

    The Body of Christ must "Grow daily" in understanding and accepting the Truth in the Word of God, we are running out of time!

    ((Every)) word of God is pure ( Prov 30:5-6) ( Ps 12:6-7) especially the word "Lord"!!

    19 For the earnest expectation of the creature waiteth for the manifestation of the sons of God.

    20 For the creature was made subject to vanity, not willingly, but by reason of him who hath subjected the same in hope,

    21 Because the creature itself also shall be delivered from the bondage of corruption into the glorious liberty of the children of God.

    The Word is GOD, self-executing. Believest thou this?

    Could not this man -JESUS- which opened the eyes of the blind, have caused that even this man should not have died?

    13 But I would not have you to be ignorant, brethren, concerning them which are asleep, that ye sorrow not, even as others which have no hope.

    14 For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so them also which sleep in Jesus will GOD bring with Him.(GOD is Life)

    15 For this we say unto you by the Word of the Lord, that we which are alive and remain unto the coming of the Lord shall not prevent them which are asleep.

    16 For the Lord Himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the Trump of GOD: and the dead in Christ shall rise first:(According Daniel 12:2-3)

    17 Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds(the same cloud that was seen by the disciples- Acts 1:9-11), to meet the Lord in the air(in the 3rd heaven that will be established from now on): and so shall we ever be with the Lord.(in he 3rd heaven, which will last a thousand years- Revelation 11:15).

    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- Revelation 22:17.

    20 He which testifieth these things saith, Surely I come quickly. Amen. Even so, come, Lord Jesus.

    21 The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all. Amen.

    Romans 8:28-39

    28 And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose.

    29 For whom he did foreknow, he also did predestinate to be conformed to the image of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brethren.

    30 Moreover whom he did predestinate, them he also called: and whom he called, them he also justified: and whom he justified, them he also glorified.

    31 What shall we then say to these things? If God be for us, who can be against us?

    32 He that spared not his own Son, but delivered him up for us all, how shall he not with him also freely give us all things?

    33 Who shall lay any thing to the charge of God's elect? It is God that justifieth.

    34 Who is he that condemneth? It is Christ that died, yea rather, that is risen again, who is even at the right hand of God, who also maketh intercession for us.

    35 Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword?

    36 As it is written, For thy sake we are killed all the day long; we are accounted as sheep for the slaughter.

    37 Nay, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him that loved us.

    38 For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come,

    39 Nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.

    29And as Esaias said before,Except the Lord of Sabaoth had left us a seed,we had been as Sodoma,and been made like unto Gomorrha.

    30What shall we say then?That the Gentiles,which followed not after righteousness,have attained to righteousness,even the righteousness which is of faith.

    31But Israel,which followed after the law of righteousness,hath not attained to the law of righteousness.

    32Wherefore?Because they sought it not by faith,but as it were by the works of the law.For they stumbled at that stumblingstone;

    33As it is written,Behold,I lay in Sion a stumblingstone and rock of offence:and whosoever believeth on Him shall not be ashamed ( Daniel 12:10-Many shall be purified,and made white,and tried;but the wicked shall do wickedly:and none of the WICKED shall understand; but the WISE shall understand)

    Revelation 22:11-17

    11He that is unjust,let him be unjust still:and he which is filthy,let him be filthy still:and he that is righteous,let him be righteous still:and he that is holy,let him be holy still.

    12And, behold,I come quickly; and my reward is with me,to give every man according as his work shall be.

    13I am Alpha and Omega,the beginning and the end,the first and the last.

    14Blessed are they that do his commandments,that they may have right to the tree of life,and may enter in through the gates into the city.

    15Without are dogs,and sorcerers,and whoremongers,and murderers,and idolaters,and whosoever loveth and maketh a lie.

    16I Jesus have sent mine angel to testify unto you these things in the churches.

    17And the Spirit and the bride say,Come.Let him that heareth say, Come.And whosoever will,let him take the water of life freely.

    God's anger (part 2)

    God is angry with the nations as well as individuals. Revelation 11:18 begins a discussion of God's wrath and it is accomplished when the winepress is trod alone by Christ ( Isaiah 63:3) which mirrors Armageddon as described in Revelation 19; but also the campaign of the Exekiel 38 war and the nations God destroys in the process.

    In such a topic; of course we see other attributes of God balancing things such as wrath and anger with patience and longsuffering of the Lord; for instance. In all this discussion it is important to see how a balanced picture of our Lord brings a better focus as to who He is. We can't just focus on anger or there is no hope for His love; but the same holds true for those who only want to hear "encouraging" verses in scripture. As famously stated we either have all of Christ or we have in reality none of Him. We must take the whole counsel of the Word of God rather than cherry picking what we want as context gets thrown out the window at best with that mindset; and at worst whole doctrinal truths are cast aside. Such is the action of such deists as Benjamin Franklin apparently. The flesh really doesn't even comprehend God's love; for human love and its vicissitudes clearly can't be trusted ( Jeremiah 17:9) as our heart is desperately wicked and who can know it? God judges impartially and is not a "respecter of persons" ( Romans 2:11-16; Acts 10:34). He is entirely righteous and no one can argue with Him once judgment comes. As Psalm 2 states we should "kiss the Son" while He is in the way so that His anger doesn't make us perish (verse 12; loosely translated). God's terms are having Christ as our mediator and High Priest because He can't look upon sin ( Heb. 9:15; Habakkuk 1:13). God will thankfully bring His own people to completion and hence the new heaven and earth will have nations of righteous people serving God; both the survivors of the Tribulation and Resurrected/Raptured saints.

    Romans 11:4-6,

    "4 But what saith the answer of God unto him(Elias)? I(God) have reserved to myself seven thousand men, who have not bowed the knee to the image of Baal.

    5 Even so then at this present time also there is a remnant according to the election of grace.

    6 And if by grace, then is it no more of works: otherwise grace is no more grace. But if it be of works, then is it no more grace: otherwise work is no more work."

    Verse 6 implies that God choses whom to save not due the works he did but due to His grace. This verse is often used by those who claim a predestination plan of God. BUT lets read verse 4. Those who enjoy God's grace didn't kneel before Baal. SO salvation is a result of a free will, NOT of an arbitrary election of people by God.

    Well, its getting late at night here. Have a blessed night (or day).

    Romans 10:9-10,

    "9 That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.10 For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation."

    SO

    It is not adequate just to believe in Jesus to get eternal life. One has to confess his faith. Where, when, to whom?

    Acts 8:36-37,

    "36 And as they(Philipp and the eunuch) went on their way, they came unto a certain water: and the eunuch said, See, here is water; what doth hinder me to be baptized? 37 And Philip said, If thou believest with all thine heart, thou mayest. AND HE ANSWERED AND SAID, I BELIEVE THAT JESUS CHRIST IS THE SON OF GOD."

    Nicene Creed, "...we acknowledge one baptism for the remission of sins;"

    IN THE BAPTISM IN WATER.

    Romans 6:1-13

    "1 What shall we say then? Shall we continue in sin, that grace may abound?

    2 God forbid. How shall we, that are dead to sin, live any longer therein?

    ...

    11 Likewise reckon ye also yourselves to be dead indeed unto sin, but alive unto God through Jesus Christ our Lord.

    12 Let not sin therefore reign in your mortal body, that ye should obey it in the lusts thereof."

    13 Neither yield ye your members as instruments of unrighteousness unto sin: but yield yourselves unto God, as those that are

    alive from the dead, and your members as instruments of righteousness unto God.

    Romans 6:15-16,

    "15 What then? shall we sin, because we are not under the law, but under grace? God forbid.

    16 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?"

    Isaiah 63:7-11

    I will mention the lovingkindnesses of the Lord, and the praises of the Lord, according to all that the Lord hath bestowed on us, and the great goodness toward the house of Israel, which he hath bestowed on them according to his mercies, and according to the multitude of his lovingkindnesses.

    8 For he said, Surely they are my people, children that will not lie: so he was their Saviour.

    9 In all their affliction he was afflicted, and the angel of his presence saved them: in his love and in his pity he redeemed them; and he bare them, and carried them all the days of old.

    10 But they REBELLED, and vexed his holy Spirit: therefore he -THE HOLY SPIRIT- was turned to be their ENEMY, and he FOUGHT against them.

    11 Then he remembered the days of old, Moses, and his people, saying, Where is he that brought them up out of the sea with the shepherd of his flock? where is he that put his holy Spirit within him?

    Psalm 51:11-13

    11 Cast me not away from thy presence; and take not thy holy spirit from me.

    12 Restore unto me the joy of thy salvation; and uphold me with thy free spirit.

    13 Then will I teach transgressors thy ways; and sinners shall be converted unto thee.

    Was the holy ghost present in the old testament?

    2 peter 1:21 for the prophecy came not in the old (testament) time by the will of man; but holy men of god spake as they were moved by the holy ghost.

    god bless you!
