King James Bible...is it of from Heaven or men…

Yes, I believe Peter oversaw the writing of the King James Bible and at the time was in Heaven…yes, I believe he was not on earth and in Heaven…King James of Great Britain…gathered all the known original manuscripts and placed all the scholars in a room and said figure the Truth out…then when the truth was finally revealed…King James was called a heretic because the Truth did not align with Catholic opinions. However, it was the perfect time…Gutenburg printing press had been invented and the first thing he made copies of was the King James Bible…and the King of Great Britain at the time made it a public knowledge and changed the world forever with the Truth, which he made available to any soul to know the Truth of Jesus for salvation to be sought after.

Listen to the promise Peter an Apostle of Jesus has from our Lord Jesus Christ…

Mat 16:15-19 KJV He saith unto them, but whom say ye that I am? 16 And Simon Peter answered and said, Thou art the Christ, the Son of the living God. 17 And Jesus answered and said unto him, Blessed art thou, Simon Barjona: for flesh and blood hath not revealed it unto thee, but my Father which is in heaven. 18 And I say also unto thee, that thou art Peter, and upon this rock I will build My church; and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it. 19 And I will give unto thee the keys of the kingdom of heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt bind on earth shall be bound in heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven…with this promise Peter could change the word of God by loosing its requirements or binding new requirements.

Then before Peter’s death…Peter through inspiration of the Holy Spirit…says…

2Pe 1:12-15 KJV Wherefore I will not be negligent to put you always in remembrance of these things, though ye know them, and be established in the present Truth. 13 Yea, I think it meet (worthy), as long as I am in this tabernacle, to stir you up by putting you in remembrance; 14 Knowing that shortly I must put off this my tabernacle, even as our Lord Jesus Christ hath shewed me. 15 Moreover I will endeavor that ye may be able after my decease (no longer on earth) to have these things always in remembrance. We now have a record of Holy Scripture after Peter’s death in the first century.

No Scripture came from the mind or opinions of men or women…

2Pe 1:20-21 KJV Knowing this first, that no prophecy of the scripture is of any private interpretation (human opinions). 21 For the prophecy came not in old time by the will of man: but holy men of God spoke as they were moved by the Holy Ghost.

Moved by the Holy Spirit…as in they had no choice in what was said or revealed. Understanding is not prophecy…wisdom is not prophecy…knowledge is revealed by prophecy…and the testimony (faithful witness) of Jesus is the Spirit of prophecy…

Rev 19:10 KJV And I (John) fell at his feet to worship him. And he said unto me, See thou do it not: I am thy fellow servant, and of thy brethren that have the testimony of Jesus: worship God: for the testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy.

Jesus is the Spirit of Truth and is revealed through the Holy Spirit we call inspiration as in they had no choice in what was said.

Joh 14:6-7 KJV Jesus saith unto him, I am the Way, the Truth, and the Life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by Me. 7 If ye had known Me, ye should have known my Father also: and from henceforth ye know Him, and have seen Him.

If it is truth…then it is Jesus revealing His will for the Truth to be obeyed. There is no Truth without Jesus. Jesus of Nazareth (Acts 22:7-8) said…Mat 11:27-30 KJV All things are delivered unto me of my Father: and no man knows the Son, but the Father; neither knows any man the Father, save the Son, and He to whomsoever the Son will reveal Him. 28 Come unto Me, all ye that labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. 29 Take My yoke (teaching of the Truth) upon you, and learn of Me; for I am meek (obedient) and lowly (humble) in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls. 30 For My yoke is easy, and My burden is light.

Jesus Christ is the Only qualified One to redeem sinners from their evil ways and deeds. Jesus never broke on one of the Ten Commandments being from the tribe of Judah…Jesus only had to meet the minimum requirements of obeying the Ten Commandments…and Jesus was punished as if He had broken all Ten of the Commandments even though He had never chosen to do an evil or sinful deed. Yes I believe we need to display the Ten Commandments everywhere…it was the minimum requirements for Jesus to be sinless.

Jesus died to forgive you of all wrongs and crimes against God…in order for Him to reveal the Truth to you…so you can be right with God by changing your will and heart to love the Truth and be reconciled and forever faithful to His Father. Will you do right when the Truth is revealed to you? Yes or no?

Joh 4:23-26 KJV But the hour cometh, and now is, when the true worshippers shall worship the Father in Spirit and in Truth: for the Father seeks such to worship Him. 24 God is a Spirit: and they that worship Him must worship Him in Spirit and in Truth. 25 The woman saith unto him, I know that Messias cometh, which is called Christ: when he is come, he will tell us all things. 26 Jesus saith unto her, I that speak unto thee am He. Jesus also said… For God so loved the world, that He gave his only begotten (Fathered Human) Son, that whosoever believeth in Him should not perish (not will not…but should not) but have everlasting life. 17 For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through Him might be saved. 18 He that believeth on Him is not condemned (because he can obey the Truth at any time before Judgement Day): but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only (Fathered) begotten Son of God. 19 And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil. 20 For every one that doeth evil hates the light, neither cometh to the light, lest his deeds should be reproved. 21 But he that doeth truth cometh to the light, that his deeds may be made manifest (made known like the manifest of ship’s cargo), that they are wrought (sanctified) in God.

Jesus will forgive any sin…but we must forsake our evil deeds the Bible calls sin by following the Truth revealed to us to be reconciled with God.

Father please confirm these Truths to us and we renounce anything that is not from You our Creator…please continue to do what is best for our soul and show us mercy on the Day of Judgement…for we cannot be saved unless You do…in Jesus of Nazareth’s name amen.

Have you ever wondered why people were told different things in order to be saved?

Have you ever wondered why people were told different things in order to be saved?

Below is a list of things told people what they must do to be saved found written in the New Testament of Christ which is the New Agreement (covenant, testament) between God and creation...

Acts 16:30-34 …30 and brought them out and said, Sirs, what must I do to be saved? 31 And they said, Believe on the Lord Jesus, and thou shalt be saved, thou and thy house. 32 And they spake the word of the Lord unto him, with all that were in his house. 33 And he took them the same hour of the night, and washed their stripes; and was baptized, he and all his, immediately. 34 And he brought them up into his house, and set food before them, and rejoiced greatly, with all his house, having believed in God…

Acts 2:37-38 …37 now when they heard this, they were pricked in their heart, and said unto Peter and the rest of the apostles, Brethren, what shall we do? 38 And Peter said unto them, Repent ye, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ unto the remission of your sins; and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Spirit. 39 for to you is the promise, and to your children, and to all that are afar off, even as many as the Lord our God shall call unto Him…

Acts 22: 6-16, 6 And it came to pass, that, as I made my journey, and drew nigh unto Damascus, about noon, suddenly there shone from heaven a great light round about me. 7 And I fell unto the ground, and heard a voice saying unto me, Saul, Saul, why persecutest thou me? 8 And I answered, who art thou, Lord? And he said unto me, I am Jesus of Nazareth, whom thou persecutest. 9 And they that were with me beheld indeed the light, but they heard not the voice of Him that spake to me. 10 And I said, what shall I do, Lord? And the Lord said unto me, Arise, and go into Damascus; and there it shall be told thee of all things which are appointed for thee to do. 11 And when I could not see for the glory of that light, being led by the hand of them that were with me I came into Damascus. 12 And one Ananias, a devout man according to the law, well reported of by all the Jews that dwelt there, 13 came unto me, and standing by me said unto me, Brother Saul, receive thy sight. And in that very hour I looked up on him. 14 And he said, The God of our fathers hath appointed thee to know His will, and to see the Righteous One, and to hear a voice from his mouth. 15 For thou shalt be a witness for Him unto all men of what thou hast seen and heard. 16 And now why tarriest thou? Arise, and be baptized, and wash away thy sins, calling on His (Jesus of Nazareth) name…

On each of these conversion examples, the hearers each were told what they needed to hear in order to be saved. The jailer was told to believe on the Lord Jesus and he would be saved, and then was baptized. The sinners in Jerusalem were told to repent and be baptized for the remission of their sins and they would receive the gift of the Holy Spirit. These were not told to believe on the Lord Jesus. Saul that became the Apostle Paul was told to arise and be baptized and wash away his sins calling on the name of the Lord. All three obeyed what was told them in order to be saved. All three were told different things to do in order to be saved. It really boils to down to the roadmap to salvation.

For example, if I was in America and in California, then I asked how do I get to Tennessee? The one giving directions would tell me, Go across the Rocky Mountains, across the continental divide, down into the Great Plains, then into Arkansas and across the Mississippi River then you will be in Tennessee. So I am traveling along and get to the Great Plains and ask again, how to do I get to Tennessee? They answer me, go into Arkansas, then go across the Mississippi River then you will be in Tennessee. So then when I get to Arkansas I ask the same question, how do I get to Tennessee? They answer oh, it is simple go across the Mississippi River and then you will be in Tennessee. You see in this illustration, I asked the same question, how do I get to Tennessee? I got three different answers based on where I was at.

In the three conversions listed above in the book of Acts, they each received an answer based on where they were spiritually in order to be saved. All three went through the same steps in order to be saved. The jailer did not know who Jesus was and was told to believe on the Lord Jesus. Then it says the word was preached unto him and he was baptized. In the Jerusalem group, these people were told by Peter they had crucified Jesus the One that was to save them and they asked what must they do because they had killed the Savior. They already believed and confessed that He was the savior, and they were simply told to repent and be baptized for the remission of their sins and they would receive the gift of the Holy Spirit. Saul, had a direct encounter with Jesus. There was no doubt he now believed after being struck blind, and he was fasting and praying for three days. Then according to the word from Jesus, Ananias came and told him what he must do in order to be saved, to arise and be baptized washing away his sins calling on the name of Jesus. All three were told exactly what then needed to hear in order to be saved, based on where they were in relation to the doctrine of salvation.

In essence, every person who has never heard the message of Jesus doing us a favor by becoming a man and being born of a virgin, and then obeying the righteous demand of the Law never choosing to do evil and then laying his life down as a substitute for the sins of any who believe and obey Him. This is the first step, to hear the message of the Redeemer’s sacrifice. That Jesus died and was raised so you would never have to choose a wrong or evil things again and so all your wrongs can be forgiven. Then those who hear this message are left with a choice, to believe this message of Jesus dying on the cross for our sins, or not to. To those that believe they must then choose to obey what Jesus said in order to be cleansed.

The next step then is repentance, it is a turning away from self and this world and a turning to Jesus and His New Agreement between God and mankind called the New Testament of Jesus Christ. Then the next step, is confession, we cannot be secret Christians. We must be willing to faithful to Jesus even to the point of death, in other words it cannot be just head knowledge of the facts. The devils believe and tremble. It is not belief that saves you but trusting that obeying Jesus words will saved you.

We usually take a public confession right before baptism, by asking do you believe that Jesus is the only begotten son of God the Savior of mankind? Then the next step based on their answer is to be baptized for the remission of sins and then they will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit. Some people claim that you are trying to earn your salvation by submitting to baptism, but in reality or according to God and His word, you are being submissive allow God to make you into a New Creature by washing away your sins and filling you with the Holy Spirit. In essence, you die to yourself and are buried with Jesus in the watery grave of baptism being risen with Him in the faith of the operation of God. Col 2:11-12, 11 in whom ye were also circumcised with a circumcision not made with hands, in the putting off of the body of the flesh, in the circumcision of Christ; 12 having been buried with him in baptism, wherein ye were also raised with him through faith in the working of God, who raised him from the dead. Then you are a New Creature, 2 Cor 5:17, 17 Wherefore if any man is in Christ, he is a new creature: the old things are passed away; behold, they are become new. Then we must remain faithful to the One that has called us to Himself unto death.

Father please meet our souls deepest needs and heal our souls deepest wounds and forgive our sins that we may prosper and be in health as our souls prospers and we ask you to remove anything that hinders us from obeying the Truth…in Jesus of Nazareth’s name amen.

Nothing New Under the Sun…

Nothing New Under the Sun…

When you read the Old Testament prophets…for learning exercise…pretend each time the words false prophets is used…it says false Christians…those they pretend they are right with God and are not…like I read the book of Jerimiah and replaced the word in false prophet with false Christian…it changed my world view on religion…as in if they are not saved then why listen at all? If they do not teach baptism for the remission of sins (Acts 2:38-39) then their opinion does not matter…listen…

Lev 19:21, ye shall not swear by name falsely neither shall you profane the name of your God: I am the Lord

Psalm 119:104, through thy precepts I get understanding therefore I hate every evil way

Jer 14:14, then the Lord said unto me, the prophets prophesy lies in my name I sent them not neither have I commanded them neither have I spoke to them they prophesy unto you a false vision and divination and a thing of naught and the deceit of their heart.

Jer 23:32, behold I am against them that prophesy false dreams says the Lord and do tell them and cause my people to err by their lies and by their lightness, yet I sent them not nor commanded them therefore they shall not profit these people at all says the Lord

Jer 29:9, for they prophesy falsely unto you in my name I have not sent them says the Lord

What does it mean to bear false witness?

How many people are thinking they have a revelation from Jesus Christ and are listening to doctrines of demons and or a seducing spirit? In the Old Testament, there were people who claimed that the Lord had revealed a message, a dream, or a revelation and told that vision saying the Lord revealed it to them. However, the Lord did not do it and it was a false hood.

Jud 1:3-10 KJV Beloved, when I gave all diligence to write unto you of the common salvation, it was needful for me to write unto you, and exhort you that ye should earnestly contend for the faith which was once delivered unto the saints. 4 For there are certain men crept in unawares, who were before of old ordained to this condemnation, ungodly men, turning the grace of our God into lasciviousness (bad lusts), and denying the only Lord God, and our Lord Jesus Christ. 5 I will therefore put you in remembrance, though ye once knew this, how that the Lord, having saved the people out of the land of Egypt, afterward destroyed them that believed not. 6 And the angels which kept not their first estate, but left their own habitation, He hath reserved in everlasting chains under darkness unto the judgment of the great day. 7 Even as Sodom and Gomorrha, and the cities about them in like manner, giving themselves over to fornication, and going after strange flesh, are set forth for an example, suffering the vengeance of eternal fire. 8 Likewise also these filthy dreamers defile the flesh, despise dominion, and speak evil of dignities. 9 Yet Michael the archangel, when contending with the devil he disputed about the body of Moses, durst not bring against him a railing accusation, but said, The Lord rebuke thee. 10 But these speak evil of those things which they know not: but what they know naturally, as brute beasts, in those things they corrupt themselves.

There is nothing new under the sun, and in today’s times we are told many will do the same. How many so called Christians are teaching a doctrine of devils for salvation calling it the Lord’s will? How many are teaching lip service through a sinner’s prayer and deceiving many? How many are denying the Lord’s will and calling Him a liar by this doctrine of demon?

Jesus said in John 3:5, except a man be born of the water and the spirit he CANNOT enter the kingdom of God. Jesus said, Mark 16:16 he that believes and is baptized shall be saved but he that believes not will be damned. These people that say, you are saved by offering lip service to their false Christ, through the sinner’s prayer are nothing more than that which is spoken of by our Lord, false prophets deceiving many.

Jesus Said… Mar 16:15-16 KJV And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature. 16 He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that believeth not shall be damned…if you teach or know someone that teaches you do not have to be baptized for salvation…then they are denying the real Lord Jesus and calling Him a liar saying you do not have to be baptized. If you teach otherwise then you will burn in hell forever unless you repent and teach the Truth.

How many so called members of the church are teaching their imaginations and saying this God’s will?

How many people are handing out secret knowledge revealed to them by their imagination or other form of knowledge? God sent a Holy angel to Mary to reveal His will for her…He did not speak directly to her and she was picked to raise our Lord. God did not whisper in her ear, or send a voice on the wind, many people today are starving for the lack of the truth revealed from God’s word. We do not need to hear secret knowledge that reveals anything to us, we need to only remember the words of the New Testament that is bound and sealed in heaven and earth and will never change until the Lord returns to punish the wicked and reward the faithful few. You cannot say Jesus of Nazareth unless you are right with Him…try and see your false gods cannot give you this power…

Father we pray you would grant us repentance and we renounce any lie we have believed or told…please reveal the Truth to us so we can reconcile with You and Your only Human Fathered Son, in Jesus of Nazareth’s name amen.
