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.

Believers Baptism?

A tough area of Contention!

Should a Born-Again believer be baptised or not?

Is it important to be baptised and do we have too be?

These and many more complex questions have been debated in Ekklesia over the last two-thousand years, and even today there is no clear understanding that is acceptable to all sides!

Many of the early Churches from three-hundred Ad to the time of the German Reformation of Martin Luther went with child baptism, since it was easier and pleased most? The Church from that time kept an exclusiveness on the Scriptures, through the clergy and the common man had to take the word or control as it was distributed with local superstitions and curses?

The most tremendous fact about baptism is that of the thief on the cross who entered heaven, without being baptised! This perhaps is the best clarification on the matter that are faith is on Jesus and focussed on how we are lead by Him and will follow Him doing, loving, caring and showing concern, while witnessing His truth to the dying world around us!

Luke 23:43. Romans 5:21, 1 Timothy 1:15, Hebrews 7:25, Revelation 2:7.

The watering down of the Truth!

Guy Fawkes now anti-Catholic?

Over the years things have been getting worse for Christians on the mainland -GB, with the watering down of the Gospel, witnessing at work and the introduction of denial doctrines to counter act the truth of the Bible!

Many Anglican Church leaders know refuse to acknowledge the reformation of 433 years ago and are sticking to their Roman Catholic or Celtic roots 4th Century foundation? The Protestant reformation is seen as anti-Catholic and yet they are the same to deny that under Queen Mary-1 over fifty-five thousand Christians were martyred in her short reign by the orders of the Papacy!

Another issue is the denial of historical facts and the many freedoms the media has with the press today, come from the Protestant Puritans fight? What we can say today, remains a issue in many Catholic nations as unspoken except in private!

One hope that the Guy, the English traitor is burned this November the 5th and that children are taught some historical facts that need to be reinforced in a right way in our Churches and schools today!

John 3:21, 4:24, Acts 10:34, Romans 2:2, 2 Corinthians 13:8, Galatians 4:16, 2 Timothy 2:25.

By faith Alone?

The conundrum of the Reformation!

Martin Luther added in the word alone to the translation of the Holy Bible to German and English to emphasise his point in relation that only faith saves!

But the original Greek manuscripts never had the word alone, since faith was already known as the key to knowing God!

The problems for Martin Luther like or loath him was he had ninety six issues with the Roman Catholic Church, which he questioned and then had no choice but to break away from?

Faith in itself encompasses much, but the Latin translation from the Greek may have deliberately blocked this truth off, so that made the Pope infallible as the leader of the Universal Church.

Today occasionally if not commonly many new words are being added to the Bible to get a clearer meaning, one must be careful to not go beyond what is being said? Because some of this can be used to change the meanings and justify sin, since we remain fickle in our nature!

Romans 1:17, 3:28, 5:1-2, Galatians 3:11, Philippians 3:9, Hebrews 11:6-7.

Jesus’ Return? Part-One.

When and Where!

Over the last two-thousand years their has been much speculation and false predictions in relation to the return of Jesus? One has to wonder why do some Christians continue to go against the world of God in relation to the matter, that Jesus said only the father knows all this?

Wither it is replacement theology, modernism or down right Anti-Semitism, it has become a blinder to the whole truth in relation to the Church and Israel! What many believers do not understand is that they are being drip-fed Reformation theological crap, which is not actually in the bible!

Israel and the Church are one in Christos/Messiah, but they are two, when it comes to the bible! This is because the false-Messiah has to come to the Jews in Jerusalem, Israel before the Lords return and that will be to the New Temple!

So now all the rubbish about a two-state solution and the rights of the Philistines to a homeland does not fit the picture of reality, because these beliefs are false and are from the worlds prospective?

Job 15:34, Psalm 98:9, Isaiah 13:9, Daniel 9:27, 12:11, Zephaniah 1:15, 2 Thessalonians 2:3-14, Revelation 20:4-7.

Philip and the Ethiopian! One.

Controversial Doctrine?

Both Philip and the Ethiopian Eunuch are under estimated in the Christian experience, many believing today that this account in the scriptures was never really there?

But this is not true from the point that God was bringing the death and resurrection of Jesus to the Jews in the Horn of Africa! It also shows us the little talked about ministry of Philip who knew that Jesus was the long awaited Messiah of Israel.

The problem with the Ethiopian conversion is that it does not fit the historical reformation doctrines of how sinners are saved, believing in a certain process for that salvation which today has become a mantra in evangelical circles as sometimes the only way?

Faith is not based on a set or process of doctrines, but rather on the power of God to change our hearts, to no longer be hostile to Him. The other reason for the avoidance of dealing with this area is the old one of white racism to black people, and in some cases that not all black Christians are really born-again?

John 1:45, 3:3, 5, 15-21, 31-36, Acts 8:26-39 , Romans 3:22-23, 6:22-23.
