Howdy! It's been awhile since I posted and I will Lord-willing be posting on this year's garden adventure. We have quite a bit of stuff growing. I am pretty excited because I am hoping to pressure can:) But,it's been along time coming and I should of posted it ages ago...wondering where I am getting at, eh? Well, what I am saying is that I should of made it clear where I stand on a lot of things.
You see I didn't know where I stood on something's after I got saved back in 2007. There were certain things I believed only because that's what the "church" I attended taught. My Dad had always tried to make me think for myself growing up but it was like pulling teeth for him to get me to do that! I didn't wanna always do that! But, since I got saved I have asked that the Lord would lead me into all paths of righteousness and truth (that includes not only Bible but this country's true history and how this whole"law" system really works,etc.) and ya know what? He is faithful and will continue to be faithful when I am not always as faithful as I should be. I truly don't deserve His goodness.
1. The King James Bible
Before, I got saved I was already going to church for awhile. I had been going mostly to church since I was in Kindergarten. My Dad had made a false profession twice and wasn't born again of the Spirit till 2003 but he thought he was and was never asked a salvation testimony and was allowed to join the baptist church. He wanted to do right as best as he knew how. (short version of his testimony is on this blog my testimony, as well. Just look in the sidebar under posts)
Anyway, back to what I was saying. Before, I got saved I knew the KJB was the right and correct Bible. I knew it not only contained but that it was the very words of God.
Fast forward a bit: I have been saved for nearly 4 years, now and I can honestly say after doing some research that the King James Bible is inspired, inerrant, infallible, preserved, perfect, pure words of God. That all I need is the Holy Spirit to help me understand what I cannot on my own. All I have to do is ask Him and He'll show me. That if He wants me to know right then then He'll show me right then. He wants me to rely on Him not some man written commentary, lexicons(written mainly by lost men-Kittles was a Nazi), Greek(it's not even the original Greek or Hebrew(I recommend reading 'Hazardous Materials' by G.A. Riplinger, the book is about Greek & Hebrew Study dangers) to understand His Scriptures spoken by Him...only He knows what He means and He is the greatest teacher there ever has been since He was the first to teach/pastor. Awww, what better teacher than He? NONE.
The King James New Testament comes from correct manuscripts that are from Antioch where the first christian church was. The other "Bibles" come from a corrupt manuscript text that comes straight out of Alexandria, Egypt.(A good book on this is,'New Age Bible Versions.') The King James Bible is the only one that has it's own built in dictionary. It's really amazing. Say you look at one verse and think what does that mean? Well, if you go down a little further a verse or few verses you usually will find the mean of the word you didn't know the meaning of in the first place. Pretty neat, huh? If ya don't believe me that's fine just please go check it out. There are several good books by Gail Riplinger on the KJB. She has one on the built in dictionary on the King James Bible. For the most part in her books she is dead on. I do not necessarily agree with her "teaching through books" but all I can say is where are the men that should be doing this? I haven't seen any.
Why is it that we think that God could or would only inspire the originals? The original that Jeremiah wrote was destroyed by the King and God had him wrote another but with more to it. Why would God not inspire anything else? copies are based off of the original. If it was just some old book that copies were made after then of course it wouldn't be inspired. Okay, a person might possibly be able to get saved or some of the salvation verses from an NIV but the NIV and any other version cannot tell you how to live day by day. A bible that is inspired will also tell you how to live a life pleasing to the Lord and will mold you into the person God wants you to be. It will shape you both spiritually & physically. It will be a Bible that hasn't been added to or taken away from. It will really have the power to change things around. You will get victory over your struggles/sins/temptations in your day to day life that you won't get from any other "bible." You can't just get saved and that's it...there's more than that it's about living a separated life that is pleasing to the Lord and will witness to others that there is something different about you and that you have something worth living for.
Hope I was clear and straight to the point here. It's always best really to be clear and straight to the point in most cases about what one believes.
Note: There a people who will say that the Bible is inspired but that doesn't mean they are talking about the King James Bible. What they really mean is that the originals are inspired only. Usually that's the case.
Also, many great revivals in times past have happend as a result of this incredible Book-The King James Bible.
2. The Sabbath:
The Sabbath was a ceremonial law. I do not keep Sabbath for this very reason that I am about to say...let me borrow the words from someone that I agree with on this very issue:
Jesus said in Luke 16:16 that, "The law and the prophets were until John: since that time the kingdom of God is preached, and every man presseth into it." So when John showed up preaching the kingdom of God the law and the prophets stopped. Jesus was changing the old covenant law then NOT after his death.
By the way, for all those who have been taught or heard that Sunday is the Sabbath day for Christians now, it is NOT! At least not for me. I used to believe that Sunday or the first day of the week took the place of the end of the week Sabbath but the bible does not say that nor imply it and my Father has shown me otherwise. Hold on now. What I am saying is that Christ as the Lord of the Sabbath is the Sabbath now. He is my Sabbath. In him I rest not in a day. I meet with other like believers NOT the lost to worship my Heavenly Father and fellowship on the first day of the week because my Saviour met with my brothers in Christ on the first day of the week NOT on the Sabbath day. That my friends was the first church service after Christ's resurrection and notice it was NOT in a synagogue.
I might add more to this on the sabbath later.
I am by no means finished with writing about where I stand...this might take awhile. I will write when I have a chance.
