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,

Mark 9:49!

In the AV/KJV, but not in the ESV?

Why has a crucial text in the Gospel of mark been removed by the modern translators of the ESV, thus loosing an important message of Salvation to the readers?

One has to wonder how much more of the Bible is to be changed to satisfy the selfishness that is entering Ekklesia in relation to justifying conduct and life style to fit in with the ideology of the world and the loss of an important message that our Lord was warning if lost cannot be got back again!

Matthew 5:13, Mark 9:50, Luke 14:34, Colossians 4:6.

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.

End Times. Two.

World Events!

Rumours of wars, nations gathered, against the anointed one, but we are clearly told by our Lord , ‘Do not be Alarmed!

Unfortunately we have too many clergy people who make predictions about world events, wars, crises and other things, some to do with Israel and others the Ekklesia and many if not all never happen?

We must stick to what the Holy Bible is teaching us in the Prophetic and not go off on tangents that will not only ruin the preacher, but also the hearers and thus we bring the wrath of the Almighty on us for abusing His words and not mans conception that is a very popular concept today that justifies much sin!

The end is coming and Israel is the focus of Gentile hatred as it always has been, but now it is to be far worse and we believers will suffer with the people of Israel, until Jesus/Yeshua/Isa/Isus is revealed and Satan is defeated!

Matthew 24:6, Mark 13:7, Acts 4:25-26, Psalm 2:1-2, 46:6, Revelation 20:8.

Veritas!

What is Truth?

Nothing much has changed in the human psyche over the last two thousand-years, humanity still tells lies just the same way it ever has from the garden of Eden.

Sin remains an active enemy everyday in all of around the world, wither we know Jesus or not we will always find an excuse to justify untruths sad as it is?

Before Jesus went to the Cross Pilate was challenged by our Lord in relation to truth and he expressed the Roman view of society that lived on lies, much the same today in our political worlds nothing has changed there!

But God’s truth will stand the test of time and do you believe it?

Matthew 6:25, John 4:23-24, 14:1, 18:37-38.

Beware!

Internet cut to Russia today, Believers Tomorrow?

We are in the most dangerous world situation at the moment, that is worse than a war because many people who oppose this crises in Russia have no voice and it was Dictator Biden’s choice to do this while also suspending media that he did not like!

Are we really talking about the United States and Europe, surely it must be China, North-Korea or Saudi-Arabia, Iran and many others?

No its the U.S. and Europe who are pushing two agendas, one for children to be educated into same sex relationships and secondly the establishment of a Roman Catholic Europe and eventually the removal of protestant Christianity which is heretical to Rome!

It is a contradiction in terms, but it is very clever to be implemented to an already brainwashed community with the COVID-19 restrictions and mass control that is slowly coming back into play for this year and the next!

Daniel 7:25, John 8:12, 9:5, 12:48, 2 Thessalonians 2:4, Revelation 11:7, 13:4-5, 8, 14-17.

Zechariah’s Prophecy! Part-Two.

Luke 1:67-80.

The shepherds came and saw the light of the world and so did the Magi, but it would be thirty years before Israel would see their Savior and Messiah!

Prophecy is a great means to an end, but we see Isaiah and Daniel speak words that took over seventy years to come to reality!

Many believers are in the habit of making predictions like the mediums and charlatans and they lower the power of God in this age, while holding antisemitism, they wonder why God will not bring revival to their lands so look in the mirror of your mind and heart and see your filth?

Jesus came millions have believed and they continue to come while it is still the day light, because the darkness is coming much faster than ever and our fates are sealed!

Luke 11:35, Acts 26:18, Ephesians 6:12, Revelation 16:10.

The Prodigal Son! Three.

Jealousy?

Infuriation might be a better word for the son who worked away and did not flout his fathers inheritance!

But like many Christians today in Ekklesia they miss the point when a prostitute or a big time criminal gets saved, it makes the place, reputation of good living look dirty?

Because their hearts were blinded to God’s love and mercy on the lost, just as this father took back his son and so we have a powerful evangelism tool with Luke 15 that can be applied in the community and worldwide today?

As believers we are always now with our father who through the good works of Jesus has bought us with blood and when we see the uncomfortable coming in let us rejoice for God has brought another home!

Luke 15:11-32, Romans 15:9-13, Ephesians 2:1-10.

Eros verses Agape Love!

Saint Valentines?

Friendship and charity now have very little to with either the Ekklesia and certainly not Kosmov, that does not mean than some still try to do what is right and to care since many do?

The battle of loves today seem more clear cut than they ever have been in that of sexual love and the pleasures of the flesh seem to dominate over that of Jesus amongst believers and selfishness is ruling the nest!

But we can change things by preaching and sharing the truth with a mixed up society that allows all sins to be permissible and refuses the truth? It is hard work, but the salvation of souls at the end of the day will make well worth our while!

Agape is more than St. Valentines slush, but they were of a kind and loving heart in serving in their day, hopefully as we are today our selves as believers?

Deuteronomy 10:18,   Ruth 4:15,   Psalm 11:5,   37:28,   Ecclesiastes 5:10,   Song of Solomon 3:1,   Luke 7:47,   Ephesians 5:28,   1 John 4:7,   Revelation 22:15.

The Value of Preaching? Two.

The Altar Call?

At one time this was the essential of leading those who were ready to repent to faith in Jesus, despite the terminology it remained an effective tool in Evangelism to lead to the lost to Jesus!

The preaching of Jesus death and resurrection remains essential today in ever increasing hostile and anti-Christian world! Our societies are in a state of moral collapse and the world is justifying sin, since it sees the Church doing the same!

An active Church is one that is preaching and reaching, while also comforting and helping the needy of the believers conscience rather than some far flung government scheme! Prayer must not be used as an excuse not to talk to people and share our faith with them?

Colossians 2:12,   1 Timothy 2:1-7,  2 Peter 1:8,    Revelation 1:4,   11,  20.
