Another addition Words!

All new versions add, ‘You to John 5:39?

The King James version and the original Greek have the word Search (G2045) Ereunaio here, but all modern translations have ye or you search or examine!

Does this tense make any difference to the text and why has it been kept, when the original does not have it, one has to wonder how many new words are being added or taken out of the new fad Immersive Bible, which does shift the books out of the traditional order and many young believers may not truly appreciate the original text of both the New and Old testaments?

We are living in an age of Apostasy and sins are being justified by logic over the truth of the Holy Bible and twisted to add in things that are not there, one believes this all began with the doctrine of Once saved always saved back in the 1980’s!

Luke 24:27, 2 Timothy 3:15.

Origins! Part-One.

Adam and Eve?

The beginning of all of our problems and the origin of inherited sin or mental attitude failure!

This is a bit more suggestive in its context than first might meet the eye and it is over looked by most who read the few verses, but there is much here to be considered?

God gave clear instructions to Adam and Eve not to eat fruit from this particular tree, but God gave this first couple free will and when Satan seduced Eve by telling her a half truth, she doubted and broke the rules!

Today many who profess a belief in God and claim to be born again or who have converted from another faith, do the same thing, they allow themselves to be more deluded by the enemy and they doubt and break the rules?

Genesis 2:7-8, 15-18, 21-24, 3:1-5, John 12:26, 2 Corinthians 6:6-7, 11:3, Ephesians 6:5, 1 Peter 2:21, 2 Peter 2:15.

What does it Mean!

God will not hear our prayers through a Cloud?

So one could say, ‘Don’t pray to Him on a dull day?

There has to be something more here to this passage, than this simple claim, in that He does not hear the prayers of all in their suffering, in this case it was Israel and their failure to repent and when they sought, much like Esau they were turned away!

Today the middle-east is in crises, but does Allah answer the prayers of Muslims, or because of the condition of their hearts full of bitterness and hatred, He refuses them?

What is this cloud made of, it must be something more than an Earthly cloud, more of a closed door in the Heavens, something for now is far beyond our understanding and it may be revealed to us in Eternity!

Lamentations 2:8, 3:44, Genesis 10:14, 27:34.

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.

Ebenezer (Even-Ezer).

The Lord has helped Us!

Israel at this time saw that God was with them and He was their really only help?

Today many Churches choose the name to symbolize what God is doing for us as believers and not as some believe the fellowship of the brothers alone!

We should all know that God is good and He is always looking out for us as we walk with Him, but when we take our eyes off, we head straight for the darkness of sin and possibly destruction if we refuse to repent and come back to the narrow way?

Israel did the same, after the time of the Judges, they wanted a King and God gave them a loser Saul son of Kish.

1 Samuel 7:11-12, 17:37, Psalm 98:1, 116:12, Romans 8:37, 2 Corinthians 1:10, 2 Thessalonians 3:1.

Transgender!

Mental illness or an excuse to rape Woman?

Many people working in the medical profession are aware of devious motives for sick men to use female feelings to get close to girls and young woman so that they can rape them!

Being devious is one of the most horrid ways of sin in our fallen human nature and it is applied in many areas of business, and even in the power vacuum in Ekklsia leadership?

On the other hand we have the serious issue of transgender being more of a mental illness that is being forced upon young people today, as much as men were castrated in the past to become eunuchs!

Deuteronomy 32:5, Judges 19:24, 2 Samuel 13:12, Proverbs 2:15, 3:32, Matthew 17:17, Philippians 2:15.

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.

Vanity?

What Satan thrives On!

The enemy will put us in a place of weakness and then He will attack us, this is very much so with the life of Job. But here we are also looking at our Lord, who was being tempted by Satan for Him to be worshiped, through the vanity of power and wealth!

We see that in times past even though people knew about God, they chose to ignore what was His to be honored and today many excuses are made for sin, that are not much different.

The western Ekklesia is dying for lack of preaching the Gospel, because leaders want to be comfortable and many in doing so excuse Sin claiming one thing and another and many fall away from their faith, if they ever were real believers in the first place?

Haggai 1:4, Matthew 4:8-9, 5:27, Mark 1:12-13, Romans 1:20-25, 2 Peter 2:10.

The out working of Sin!

Cain had a choice and so do we?

Jealousy set in to the heart of Cain against his brother Abel and it continues to this day, between nations and individuals even many who profess to know God, they allow their hearts to be darkened!

God warned Cain he had a choice and he went with Satan to oppose God and to kill, this past few days the former U.S. President nearly became a legacy for the United States when Mr, Crook was 2-inches form killing him?

Jesus is the answer, if we keep Him as the focus or source point of our lives and not choose to wander off is some false idea, doctrine, teaching or a;;ow anger to take control of us!

Genesis 4:6-7, Proverbs 14:29, John 3:3, 14-21, Romans 3:23, 6:23, 2 Corinthians 12:20, 1 Timothy 2:8, Hebrews 11:27, James 1:19-20.

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.
