NEW AGE BIBLES vs. ANCIENT LAND MARKS With changing times and changing laws in North America and around the globe it is evident that for English speaking nations, any new age translations of the scripture cannot improve upon the original received text written in the English Language. Although some specific scriptures might well be better expounded upon in some of the other translations, the whole of the text is all too frequently compromised in the process of further articulation of a single scripture or word. There is also a point at which the letter of the gospel and the letter of the law would become profitless in a sincere effort to modernize the scripture to make it more palatable, or "easier to understand", or even truer to the modern understanding of the Textus Receptus. I believe that it is at this point, that the Holy Spirit will grant us the additional guidence we require to adequately understand His word, if our hearts are sincere toward Him. A good way to check this is to study scripture in the fashion that God instructed us to study in the book of Isaiah: Isaiah 28 1 Woe to the crown of pride, to the drunkards of Ephraim, whose glorious beauty is a fading flower, which are on the head of the fat valleys of them that are overcome with wine! 2 Behold, the Lord hath a mighty and strong one, which as a tempest of hail and a destroying storm, as a flood of mighty waters overflowing, shall cast down to the earth with the hand. 3 The crown of pride, the drunkards of Ephraim, shall be trodden under feet: 4 And the glorious beauty, which is on the head of the fat valley, shall be a fading flower, and as the hasty fruit before the summer; which when he that looketh upon it seeth, while it is yet in his hand he eateth it up. 5 In that day shall the LORD of hosts be for a crown of glory, and for a diadem of beauty, unto the residue of his people, 6 And for a spirit of judgment to him that sitteth in judgment, and for strength to them that turn the battle to the gate. 7 But they also have erred through wine, and through strong drink are out of the way; the priest and the prophet have erred through strong drink, they are swallowed up of wine, they are out of the way through strong drink; they err in vision, they stumble in judgment. 8 For all tables are full of vomit and filthiness, so that there is no place clean. 9 Whom shall he teach knowledge? and whom shall he make to understand doctrine? them that are weaned from the milk, and drawn from the breasts. 10 For precept must be upon precept, precept upon precept; line upon line, line upon line; here a little, and there a little: 11 For with stammering lips and another tongue will he speak to this people. 12 To whom he said, This is the rest wherewith ye may cause the weary to rest; and this is the refreshing: yet they would not hear. 13 But the word of the LORD was unto them precept upon precept, precept upon precept; line upon line, line upon line; here a little, and there a little; that they might go, and fall backward, and be broken, and snared, and taken. All Bible scripture is "in line" with all the other Bible scripture. Full Bible Truth requires the process of lining up precept upon precept without excluding any scripture from the truth as it was originally written. The simple reason for this is because all truth adheres and pertains to a single truth. What does not adhere and pertain to the Truth is false. I believe every word written in the Authorized King James version of the Holy Bible to be the unmitigated truth with respect to the actual scripture. I believe that no scripture is open to private interpretation and I believe that it is also possible for the Lord to give any man, or woman, a revelation that lines up with all ("not part of ", but all) of the scripture as it was written in the AKJV -- even today. I have had my share of camel soup from reading modern versions which repeat the same types of "errors" (that the AKJV has been attacked for committing) in other places in scripture -- and even moreso, so that the latter tranlations are exponentially worse than the first! Better to stick with the original. I do not worship cowhide. I reverence the scripture that was originally delivered to the English speaking saints of God for the purpose of publishing His word throughout the whole earth! What ever little ammendments and modern day contrivances the New Age translators should like to add to "improve" upon the old scripture hardly strikes me as worthwhile. If one is so concerned about accuracy of the text one might purchase a copy of the KING JAMES GREEK INTERLINEAR VERSION which I have found to be amazingly accurate and proves to me that I am quite safe with the AKJV after all. In acknowledging that New Age translations also open the door for even greater "liberties" I find that the end hardly justifies the means - unless of course, the means is to confuse and create division. Ink on paper cannot save people. For those who truly seek, they shall also find that the HOLY SPIRIT will come to them and bear witness of the truth. The real question is, will they hear? |

Every dog has his day. When we read history and the course of what our historians called "christendom", what many do not understand is that this is not a reference to actual apostolic Christianity as outlined in the Book of Acts. In most cases the historians are referring to the advent and continued exploits of the Roman Catholic church. Hence, what we would see and come to learn to be "christian" is hardly an account of the actions of God's people. God has given a measure of grace to every kingdom on earth and He has also given them opportunity to spread the gospel and broadcast the SEED, the WORD OF GOD, around the entire globe. After this mission is fully accomplished, Christ Jesus returns in the glory of the Father. At this point we see Him as He truly is, the Father in the Son and the Son in the Father. We will only see ONE GOD and ONE MAN who is God. We will see ONE - not two, but ONE. At this point Christ Jesus is truly seen as Jesus Christ. All the worldly nations - including USA and CANADA - will fail their calling. Not one will have adequately accomplished the work that God gave them to do and consequently only a remnant from each nation will be spared from the wrath of the Almighty One. All the worldly nations are seen as dogs before God and every dog has his day. It is God's people who broadcast the seed. No nation of the world is permitted to take credit for the blessings of God in spirit and in truth. Only Zion is worthy because God calls her worthy. Only the New Jerusalem - not U.S.A. - may be praised before God because God calls her worthy. The British Commonwealth also had her opportunity, which is long past, ever since a queen ascended to the throne of England to replace the king. It is not God's blessing for a woman to rule over nations but it is most certainly God's own punishment of a wicked and adulterous nation when he places a woman in authority over mankind. Few people are aware of the historical fact that the queen mother of England insisted that her offspring NOT BE instructed in the knowledge of scripture. They were not permitted to read the Bible. This is a historical fact. All of the queen mothers of the world despised both Christianity and the former kings - especially King James. Queen Victoria was no better. England also failed it's mission to the people because England, as a nation... was... and is, ungodly. Does it come as any surprise that these nations have also endorsed Sodomy under the Queen's Crown? United States is next. Now the United States of America has failed it's opportunity to broadcast the seed just as the other nations before her have done. And now, at the turn of the millenium, we see that our planet in the most dire jeopardy this world has ever been, while Zion continues to sleep. Do we really want people to know the truth? God counts patriotic nationalism for idolatrous filth. The citizens of this world have nothing in New Jerusalem. The time has come to fix our eyes on the King of kings. If we would be Apostles of Christ, our confidence should be in Jesus alone. Let thine eye be single and remove it from the flag. At best, any world flag is at half-mast before the Master. The time has come to surrender before God. Yes, Paul wanted us to pray for our leaders that we might avoid the day that is already upon us... corruption in high places, Sodomy... BETRAYAL. People of God, the Eagle spirit will not save you. You need the wings of an Angel - not an eagle. America... put away your idolatry. How many more souls of our sons and daughters must be passed through the fire? Part and parcel of the agenda to prepare the people's minds for the NWO is the modernization of the scripture - not only in the English tongue, but in all the tongues of all the prominent nations on the planet. Frankly, this is just too "good" an opportunity for the devil to miss. Please do not think that the message of the gospel will not be published throughout the whole earth. It will. The seed will be broadcast throughout these clouds of confusion and when it is done we may look up and say, "It is finished" and commend our spirits unto God - not the flag. AKJV JESUS ONLY |
