Worrying!

Missing Scriptures?

Now we know that many of the modern translations of the Holy Bible, miss out certain passages from the King James version, which they claim may be archaic or no longer used in modern English, but in ones own case it was pointed out to that half of a verse was missing in Isaiah 54:17!

On inspection with the same Bible translation I noticed mine was complete, and we were worried about how much may be missing in all new translations either a miss-print or was it deliberate, since many publishers print in China or India to cut the costs, so they claim?

One has to wonder is our Bibles being interfered with to bring them up to the standards of the woke culture!

Romans 15:4, 1 Corinthians 10:11, Titus 1:9.

Bible Translations!

King James most common by 87%?

This is what is claimed by many around the world that eighty seven percent of Holy Bibles are still the King James and these are in the most languages of the world, portions and booklets!

Yet it is known that the most popular translation of the Bible is the New Living and that is more so in richer western countries, while others such as the NIV (New International Version) and others modern English versions lag behind?

China now prints most of the worlds Bibles for all western publishing houses, yet they seem to lack copies of the Holy Bible and New Testament with portions of others being smuggled in probably the King James Version!

Romans 15:4, 2 Corinthians 15:3-4, 2 Timothy 10:13, 16, 4:3, 2 John 1:9-10, Revelation 2:20,

Conversion Therapy?

It is now working in the opposite of Christian Values!

The world is converting our children to what they feel that they want to be, boys to girls and girls to boys and even the state has set up clinics to pay for these evil things.

Many children like to dress up, but that is something of the experimentation of childhood and wanting to be a Nija warrior or a princess, or a super hero does not need counseling on changing to one fantasy?

But there are some really sick people now in medicine that want to abuse our children and teenagers into transgender and homosexuality, which will mentally damage many for life and keep doctors in business for years to come!

Genesis 13:13, 19:4-11, Nehemiah 5:5, Matthew 11:23-24.

Our need of Salvation?

The Christmas Message!

For our lost world, both physically and Spiritually, for some of us this is the season of ekklesia unity and family, for others ministering it is the poor, the food banks, the lonely and the older folks?

We may all still like to send cards, give presents and celebrate with tradition thrown in, but the world has commercialized the season to cancel the message that Jesus, the God-Man came into our world two thousand years ago to save sinners and bring salvation to all who would have faith in Him!

We are entrusted with a message that remains today as fresh as it did them and our time is running out as the night of the apocalyptic era is approaching!!

Acts 13:23, 32-33, Psalm 2:7, 132:11, Hebrews 9:25-28, 10:10.

Pitfalls of Faith!

Roots of Bitterness?

None of us is exempt from falling from grace, hurt and disasters come and they will tear us down and lead to the tears of the heart, but we are warned not to let the bitterness of of it get a root on to us and if so we will loose our Salvation!

God does not give up on us, but it is rather we who do that for many reasons from comfort to dishonesty, that we think we are fine, when we are not?

The Holy Bible has much to tell us in relation to not being complacent and how to get back on track with our personal Savior the Lord Jesus!

Proverbs 14:10, Luke 8:13, Romans 11:16-18, 1 Timothy 6:10, Hebrews 12:15.

Language Translations!

How many still to be translated for the Gospel?

It is amazing how many languages and dialects are in the world, when God cast out men from Babel and caused them confusion that was a big event, but it was restored in a way on the day of Pentecost, when the Disciples were speaking all in various languages!

Today with the advancement of A.I and the Internet many believers have access to resources that fifty years ago only missionaries working in far flung places could get?

Costings and what version of the Bible are the main issues to the lack of witnessing material and it is either old, badly put together and hard to access and this is perhaps the only problem we have in relation to time!

Geneses 10:5, 11:1, 7-9, Judges 12:5-6, Acts 2:7-12, 26:14, 1 Corinthians 14:11.

Prophecy?

Preaching to warn Ekklesia!

Not all always seems to be right in many fellowships when it comes to the services, the lack of preaching the Gospel message for over worship is one area that is lacking the influence of honesty and integrity in society?

The fervent preaching where it is done can become more of the man, rather that God and the balance is lost on the truth, and placed on personality?

We need to focus on the fact that it is the Lord that is leading us and not us leading ourselves?

2 Samuel 23:2, 2 Peter 1:20-21, 2:1-3.

Tamar!

Raped by her Brother and then hated by Him?

With the many translations of the Holy Bible and the many search engines the term rape is not to be found in them and in relation to this account many have implied incest, but consensual sex is not rape!

Tamar was raped and the Hebrew word here is used in the context that this young woman was over powered by her brother, Stongs H7901 Shakav.

Later on in the end of the account we have the term violated H6031 Anah, but still not raped?

It is not clear why the term rape is not used, perhaps since it was mostly men doing the translation and they ignored the emphasis to suit there own power over the woman?

2 Samuel 13:5-22, Psalm 55:20, Isaiah 24:5.

Have house groups?

Killed the western Christian Churches!

Many believers have come to the conclusion that the onset of cell groups have ruined many congregations in the western Ekklesia, because they are an excuse for cliques’ and family related groups to control lost freedoms?

Many of these groups seem helpful in their outlook, but what they do is they kill the midweek prayer meeting and getting together for that oasis of fellowship.

In many other lands distances are an issue to travel and small groups probably work better, but we really should be able to combine the two and find that even the abandonment of the evening service is also something to be brought back to help the many who are struggling at work, home and other?

Matthew 25:1, Acts 1:14, 1 Corinthians 11:20, Ephesians 5:19.

The Ukraine?

No Peace!

As believers how do we deal with a world leader who refuses peace and is also provoking conflicts with other nation who are seeing through him and his mantra of lies to get a shopping list of weapons, that even his armed forces are failing to deploy in a proper manner, but rather waste on the battlefield?

Zelensky has rebuked many people who have suggested peace, this is nothing new David was rebuked by the peoples he lived with in hiding and it was a struggle for him!

Jesus tells us He did not come into our world to make peace, but with a Sword to cause division and to see who really loves Him more than our own loved ones?

Psalm 35:20, 120:7, Matthew 10:34-39.
