Why are some verses Missing?

Even the KJV has it wrong when it comes to the Greek!

Our test is a series of passages found in the New Testament of the four Gospels in relation to an End time event in one being left behind. Many books and films have been made over the years for Christians in relation to the matter that is scary even for us believers?

In Luke 17:35-37, some modern translations have no verse 36 and this would correspond to the Greek text!

One did wonder why, but one reading it a couple of times, two illustrations are used for the same event one for men and the other for woman! This may upset many, but the truth is that the writer here was coming from a Jewish-Hebrew perspective and translating into Greek.

Matthew 24:23-41 (40-41), Mark 13:32-37.

‘Which Bible!

Translation is the Best or is Right?

Many of us who preach will use a modern version to get what we want to say out in modern language of today to people who do not have any understanding of anything to do with God? But when it comes to our own study we seek the basis of the King James version to get refences to Strong’s lexicon or something similar!

But a knowledge of the ability to read the Hebrew and Greek does not always make it as easy as many lay people think and this has been an ongoing problem for the last two thousand years? Since the Greek raises more options in the choice of words that can be used and many people do not fully understand this getting hot under the collar in relation to the KJV being so called adulterated when it is not!

What is more important is the application of the message that is being taught, preached or shared, by others or in our own reading and understanding of it for daily living?

Proverbs 3:2, Matthew 4:23, Mark 9:31, John 8:51, 1 Corinthians 11:23, 2 Timothy 3:16, Hebrews 6:1-2, 2 John 1:9, Revelation 3:8.

What is COVID-19?

What we think we know and what we have not been Told?

One finds the whole subject worrying in relation to deaths, infections, vaccines and testing, in that much does not work and is false, while the media hype the whole matter up and governments are failing the peoples or are they?

Christians must question and not stand back believing false information, we believe what we are told that it came from China, but the same media outlets tell us that Putin is Corrupt, Trump was mentally compromised and most of this is not true?

We really have been caught out with this virus and the consequences if not state control over the population! Is this 1984 in a world stage of self inflicted conflict and old people do die of old age 77 or 101?

Hospitals are full to capacity, but many private hospitals are empty and being on the inside figures are being fudged to save under financed state aid with the slogans that mean we will not be spending anymore money on our healthcare, stay at home!

Joshua 9:3-15, 2 Samuel 13:6-14, Psalm 52:3, Malachi 3:5, Matthew 24:11, 2 Corinthians 10:4, Colossians 2:4.

Holocaust Denial and Revisionism!

Now a new revision of Parallelism?

#blm is fueling a new kind of anti-Semitism is trying to undermine the Nazi systematic murder of a race and religion from human history, over their enslavement and suffering!

Whatever we may think of the Nazi-Holocaust we must face the facts that the human mind and soul is evil and through hype, conspiracy and ideology it can rouse the masses to do unspeakable things as the Putsch of the 1920’s proved in Germany and what was attempted on the 6th January in the U.S.?

Black slavery existed for one-thousand years prior to the European arrivals and was carried out by N-African Muslims! There can be no parallels to the events of 1938-46 in occupied Nazi-Europe and the events of a false messiah and his twisted ideas!

Genocides are random acts, or they are based on ridding the other side politically as in insurrection, seen in Cambodia, China, Rwanda and Burundi an many other places on a smaller scale since?

Exodus 1:14, 5:7-11, Esther 3:8-12, Daniel 3:6, 24-26, Matthew 2:16-18, 24:5, 9-12, Acts 27:4, Revelation 6:11, 7:14.

The Magnificat! Part-Two

Upset for the world?

This song has much to say and reveal in relation to finding Salvation, but it is also upsetting for a Church that has accepted replacement theology to cut the Jewish people out of their inheritance!

There is no where in the holy Bible that says that God has given up on His own people Israel? We are all looking at the modern state of Israel and saying this is not right or possible, then look at your own so called Christian nations and Churches that have accepted sexual sin, cross-dressing, Homosexuality and filth, before you again judge the Jews for not coming up to your standards?

The New Testament is very clear in relation to the Jews being blinded, so that the Gentiles can be saved! But the Lord is returning to be the king of Israel and He will remove Satan from the restored Jewish Temple in Jerusalem, Israel and reign on the Earth for one thousand years!

Luke 1:46-55, 54-55, Psalm 98:3, 132:11-17, Zephaniah 3:14-20, Romans 11:7, 28-29, 2 Corinthians 3:14, Genesis 12:3.

We pray that you have a blessed Christmas and a happier New Year, 2021!

The Magnificat? Part-One.

Problems for Protestant Christians!

The main problem with the Song of Mary is that of her veneration by the Roman Church and other Orthodoxy, Coptic’s, Maronites, Armenian and so on?

But if these reformation ideas are explained and then excused we have a marvelous revelation of the humbleness and humility of this chosen young girl to allow the incarnate Jesus to enter into humanity!

The beginning of this song opens with exaltation to God, rather than the word praise that is used in many translation. There is an important deeper meaning to this interaction between humanity and eternity and next time we will see the problems of replacement theology that has done much damage to the misunderstandings by the commonwealth of Israel to the Jewish race?

Luke 1:46-56, Psalm 34:2-3, 102:17, 111:9, Isaiah 12:2-3, 45:25, 1 Corinthians 1:26-28, Jeremiah 10:6.

Apostle and Disciple Peter.

‘Don’t be Afraid Peter!

Jesus sums up Peter in that he was dominated by fear or himself and of others, from sinking on the water to the rooster crowing to being pulled up by Paul.

We see fear, we see zeal and weakness and we see hypocrisy a bit like us all who claim to be something that when challenged may fail to our own thorn that slows us down and that God will not remove?

It is hard to be a believer Jesus, as it was with Peter a great preacher after Pentecost that lead many to faith, the writer of two fantastic letters in the New Testament, a man that Jesus said Ekklesia would be built on and that does not mean Rome as some like to think.

Matthew 8:28, 16:18, Mark 14:72, John 21:15, Acts 2:38-40, Galatians 2:12, 1 Peter, 2 Peter.

#blm! Part-Two.

Stereotyping?

Something that all of humanity has is the impression that if one does one thing terrible, all of that race colour and creed must be the same?

But we who think we are civilised are not, since we are better and not like the rest who is our estimation are not!

This is when we see the ugly side of comfort sin at work in our hearts to judge others, without seeing our own same situation? Jesus told the hypocrites to take the plank out of their own eyes before even attempting to remove the speck from others!

Black people want equality with white society, but this does not mean they are better than us? It just shows that we are all the same and hold very similar points of views one being Anti-Semitism and as much as some Arabs consider black people still to be semi-ape creatures only fir for abuse?

Humanity in its thinking has not changed, many of those black chiefs in West-Africa would still do the same as they did two-hundred years ago! While attitudes are not limited to colour barriers, basically we are all the same, but conditioning has caused more division’s.

Mark 7:3-5, Luke 6:41-42, Numbers 14:24, Philippians 4:5, Titus 3:2, 1 Peter 3:8.

Living in dire Times?

Our rights and our Ignorance!

Wherever we live in this world taking some simple advice in relation to this medical situation and Pandemic would be wise?

But we humans at the best of times live in rebellion to God and many believers too have the arrogant attitude that they can deal with things on their own, even when the best advice is given to us!

This situation that we are in is not going away as some unwise leaders believe, this is because of going on as we are will only spread the virus and eventually with its mutations children will start dying since so far it has not discriminated who it kills?

Believers need to remain focused in doing what is right and obeying the leadership of wise medical staff in relation to social distancing and wearing face coverings, other wise many more people will die in the second and third waves of this COVID-19 pandemic!

Geneses 41:33, Job 11:6, Psalm 51:6, Isaiah 47:10, Luke 7:35, Ephesians 2:2-3, Philippians 2:2-3, James 3:14, 2 Peter 3:15.

Mark 16! Part-Two.

Great Spiritual powers Displayed?

Many Christians today have grown dismissive of the impossible, of the power of healing and many other areas that seem to be very controversial when related to the work of the Holy Spirit within the believer!

Many are to comfortable in the Bible lesson preaching and not active in evangelism or sharing their faith, some of us have become lazy believing once we are saved we will just hang around in Church until Heaven?

These verses reveal the power of God at work in all believers who are open to serve Him and shows us that we are a protected people!

Yes we will suffer at times and be rejected by a hostile world that ridicules all that challenges its desire for sin and dishonesty, but in these last words in the gospel of Mark we are commissioned to go into community, work, family and share what God, what Jesus has and is and will be doing for us?

Mark 16:9-20, (17-18), Acts 28:3-5, 1 Corinthians 12:9, 28-30, James 3:8, Revelation 22:2.
