We Will Have Tribulation. If We Trust In The Lord, We Will Be Blessed!

Janny Grein "Stronger Than Before"

Janny Grein died of cancer on August 4, 2011, in Ft. Worth, TX.. In my times of pain I received such encouragement from her song "Stronger Than Before". It was and is such a blessing to me. In times of pain I have cried many tears of sadness mixed with joy, as I listened to her sing. I don't know much about her life, but she really blessed me! If you are a disciple of Christ and going through times of pain, it will bless you for sure. What a great song!!

Paul - Philippians 3

12It’s not that I have already reached this goal or have already become perfect. But I keep pursuing it, hoping somehow to embrace it just as I have been embraced by the Messiah Jesus.

13Brothers, I do not consider myself to have embraced it yet. But this one thing I do: Forgetting what lies behind and straining forward to what lies ahead, 14I keep pursuing the goal to win the prize of God’s heavenly call in the Messiah Jesus.

15Therefore, those of us who are mature should think this way. And if you think differently about anything, God will show you how to think. 16However, we should live up to what we have achieved so far.

KJV Onlyism Is NOT Good

Without a doubt many fine Christians read the King James Version of the Bible. However, some people like KJV Onlyist Gail Riplinger have gone to remarkable extremes in their efforts to exalt the KJV over all other versions of the Bible and have caused division and disunity in the Body of Christ. Such is KJV Onlyism! Some of these same KJV only people believe one is unsaved or some kind of misinformed, inferior Christian if he doesn't use the KJV when preaching and writing! These things should not be, but are! The following brief outline are facts that the KJV Onlyites will probably never tell you: This Is Why Richard Thomson Is Swept Under The Rug In KJV Onlyism

Fast Facts About The KJV

1. The 1611 KJV included the Apocrypha, which contained various heresies in it. For example, in Tobit 12:8,9, 1611 KJV we read:

For almes doth deliuer from death, and shall purge away all sinne. Those that exercise almes, and righteousness, shall be filled with life.

2. The KJV is based on the Textus Receptus, which was formulated by Erasmus and edited by Stephanus and Beza. Erasmus was a Roman Catholic priest, who died a faithful Catholic.
3. Erasmus dedicated his edition of the Greek New Testament to Pope Leo X.
4. Erasmus depended mostly upon two twelfth-century manuscripts and had no Greek manuscript which contained the last six verses of the book of Revelation. He translated those verses from the Latin Vulgate into Greek.
5. Erasmus wrote of Mary as "my salvation" and "my refuge." Furthermore, he wished for "salvation through Jesus, but not without his Mother."
6. The 1611 KJV translators believed that one should read a variety of translations and not just their own!
7. The 1611 KJV translators also recognized the importance of a translation that was understandable. For us today, the archaic words in the KJV are a major hindrance in understanding God's eternal message. A few examples are:

almug, algum, chapt, earing, gat, habergeon, hosen, ligure, leasing, maranatha, pate, pilled, rabboni, raca, stacte, trode, wimples, ouches, brigandine, ambassage, occurrent, purtenance, bruit, fray, cracknels, nusings, mufflers, anathema, corban, talitha cumi, aceldama, delectable, wot, trow, sod, grisled, God speed, descry, countervail, concupiscence and swaddling clothes.

8. Certain English words have changed their meanings since the 1611 KJV was translated and hinders one's comprehension of Scripture:

Did you know that in the King James Version of the Bible the word "advertise" means "tell," "allege" means "prove," and "conversation" means "behavior"? That "communicate" means "share," "take through" means "be anxious," and "prevent" means "precede"? That "meat" is a general term for "food," and "anon" and "by and by" translate Greek words which mean "immediately"?

9. The present editions of the KJV contain words for mythical non-existent animals. For example: unicorn(s) and satyr. See Num. 23:22; 24:8; Dt. 33:17; Job 39:9,10; Psa. 22:21; 29:6; 92:10; Isa. 34:7,14.
10. Staunch Calvinist Theodore Beza was one of the editors of the Textus Receptus. The KJV translators had his changes, which included "If they shall fall away" in Heb. 6:6. Such a misrendering helps to preserve Calvinism's perseverance of the saints. Adam Clarke's commentary shows the errors of that as being: (a) the word "If" was unjustly inserted and (b) the tense is aorist, meaning it should be translated in the past tense, "HAVE fallen away." Another distortion occurred at Heb. 10:38!
11. The final critic who went over the whole KJV as editor was Dr. Miles Smith, who was a Calvinist.

The Bible Alone Final Authority

Drunkard Richard Thomson, a KJV Translator

12. Richard Thomson was one of the translators of the 1611 KJV. He was a known drunkard, who was never removed from the translating committee.
13. Few KJV Onlyites seem to realize that the 1611 KJV was not the first English Bible, neither is the 1611 edition of the KJV the most common edition used in our day.

Freemasons and Druids Promote the Teachings of John Macarthur

Brothers and sisters, as you surely know, Satan seeks to destroy Christianity. The pulpits are filled with rich, Masonic, pastors who are actually wolves is sheep's clothing. Such is John MacArthur. We have long since reached a point where, it is dangerous to listen to a pastor or teacher.

Please go after God. Read His New Testament. Do not let a man or woman into your mind and soul. Many will fall away. Many will turn to fables. Please get ready to go through hard times. Hard times that we have never experienced. It will be sudden and now is the time to Know Your God. We should not think we can go from cold to hot when the sudden trials come. If we are not willing to die for Christ, we are in serious trouble. Please prepare.

A Flowchart Depicting Some of John Macarthur's Anti-christ and Globalist Connections

28“Be on guard for yourselves and for all the flock, among which the Holy Spirit has made 
you overseers, to shepherd the church of God which He purchased with His own blood. 
29“I know that after my departure savage wolves will come in among you, not sparing the 
flock; 30and from among your own selves men will arise, speaking perverse things, to 
draw away the disciples after them.31“Therefore be on the alert, remembering that night 
and day for a period of three years I did not cease to admonish each one with tears. 
Acts 20

The apostle Paul left us a warning that wolves would enter in. Do you think, just maybe, that is 
why MacArthur falsely accuses Paul as being a great sinner? Lets take a look at MacAruthur 
and his cronies.

Warning! The pulpits are filled with wolves. Few men can be trusted. Do not trust your soul

The Destruction Of The Youth By John MacArthur

John MacArthur is trying to destroy the souls of our youth? He is so evil that he takes the position of God All Mighty!!! MacArthur tells us WE CAN COMMIT occasional acts of adultery!! No wonder he tells us he can override God's words, that those who take the mark of the beast can repent later"! God said the person, "MacArthur" will never eat from the tree of life, as seen below. 

* a true Christian possessing saving faith can commit occasional acts; of adultery. If that does not sound like a license to sin, I've never heard one!  (Hence, there are some Christian adulterers.) God forbid! * a true Christian possessing saving faith can commit occasional acts of drunkenness. If that does not sound like a license to sin I've never heard one! (Hence, there are some Christian drunks.) God forbid! * A true Christian possessing saving faith can murder himself (be a suicide) and afterwards go to heaven, even though he died as an unrepentant murderer. If that does not sound like a license to sin I've never heard one!  (Hence, there are some Christian murderers.) God forbid! * a true Christian can commit the list of sins cited in 1 Cor. 6:9,10 just short of going all the way back to live like he used to and still have a saving faith." If that does not sound like a license to sin, I've never heard one!  (Hence, there are some Christians who flat out hate God.) God forbid! Here is that list, in case you are unacquainted with it. OR DO YOU KNOW THAT THE UNRIGHTEOUS WILL NOT INHERIT THE KINGDOM OF GOD! DO NOT BE DECEIVED: NEITHER FORNICATORS, NOR IDOLATERS, NOR ADULTERERS, NOR EFFEMINATE, NOR HOMOSEXUALS, NOR THIEVES, NOR THE COVETOUS, NOR DRUNKARDS, NOR REVILERS, NOR SWINDLERS, WILL INHERIT THE KINGDOM OF GOD. (1 Cor. 6:,10) * no sin regardless how heinous, including child molestation, rape, murder, homosexuality, etc., will ever prevent a person previously saved from entering heaven. If that does not sound like a license to sin I've never heard one! God forbid! * Sin works for our good! If that does not sound like a license to sin I've never heard one!  (Hence, there are sinners that are blessed to sin.) God forbid! * a person who is lacking saving faith is one whose basic character is summed up in the uninterrupted and unrepentant practice of them [sins] ...(The MacArthur Study Bible, p. 1798, comment on Gal. 5:21). Hence, anything better than an uninterrupted and unrepentant practice of sin could describe a person with saving faith bound for heaven because of eternal security, even though he might be living in many of the sins cited in 1 Cor. 6:9,10." GOD FORBID! Jesus told us to stop sinning!!!!

-----------------------------
If the root is rotten, the result is a mixed, confused, false gospel. MacArthur is not from God. He told the world that you can take the mark of the beast and repent later. That has just added to his spiritual death. Jesus makes this crystal clear, as we see

Did you know that MacArthur has likely told your children that they can take the mark of the beast and repent later? Jesus says just the opposite.  MacArthur is attempting  to destroy the children. He is responsible for evil. Look closely at verse's 18 and 19.
----------------------
17 The Spirit and the bride say, “Come.” And let the one who hears say, “Come.” And let the one who is thirsty come; let the one who wishes take the water of life without cost.

18 I TESTIFY TO EVERYONE WHO HEARS THE WORDS OF THE PROPHECY OF THIS BOOK:

IF ANYONE ADDS TO THEM,

GOD WILL ADD TO HIM THE PLAGUES WHICH ARE WRITTEN IN THIS BOOK; [MacArthur added to the book when he said "you can repent later"]

19 AND IF ANYONE TAKES AWAY FROM THE WORDS OF THE BOOK OF THIS PROPHECY,

GOD WILL TAKE AWAY HIS PART FROM THE TREE OF LIFE AND FROM FROM THE HOLY CITY,

 WHICH ARE WRITTEN IN THIS BOOK.  [MacArthur took away the words of this book, when he ignored Jesus who said if you take the mark of the beast, you will go to hell]

20 He who testifies to these things says, “Yes, I am coming quickly.” Amen. Come, Lord Jesus.

21 The grace of the Lord Jesus be with all. Amen.

Are We Conformed or Transformed?

Conformed or Transformed?

“Be not conformed to this world” … how many of us have heard these words again and again. But do we really know what they mean? All of us need to pay attention to what we read in the Word. Superficial – and such is many times our Bible reading – does not do anything. “Be not conformed to this world” – the Greek word translated as conformed here means co-shaped, co-formed. What the Word is telling us here is: do not be or become of the same shape, same form, co-formed, with this world. We are different brothers and sisters. A Christian is different!! We do not belong to this world. And yet many of us cannot miss listening to the news, worry about what this world worries, doing what this world does, speaking about what this world speaks. Now if we think, hear, speak and do what this world thinks, hears, speaks and does then guess what? We are co-shaped, co-formed with this world. And as long as the world and its worries and “joys” occupy your life be sure: you will not grow in Christ.

“but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.”

Instead of conformed to the world we should be transformed. Now to be transformed means to change form to become something of different form, shape. What should our new form be then? The answer is simple: CHRIST. As Paul says in Galatians 4:19

“My little children, for whom I labor in birth again until Christ is FORMED IN YOU”

See this word FORMED! Christ, who lives in us, is our new form! And as Colossians 3:2 tells us:

“Set your mind on things above, NOT on things on the earth.”

Could it be made clearer? Transformation is done by renewing of the mind and it is up to you where you will set your mind on, with just 2 options available: the things on the earth and the things above. The first option will make you a spiritual pigmy, a Christian that is just a baby that never grows, spiritually retarded but by choice i.e. you choose to never grow despite all the potential that is called CHRIST in you. The second option means spiritual growth, Christ formed in you, close fellowship with the living God, whom you have tasted and know how good He is. And as I Peter 2:2 tells us:

“as newborn babes, desire the pure milk of the word, that you may grow thereby,”

Growth comes through the Word of God. You need the Word in order to grow. Not religious teaching that sound moral and pious but teachings of the Word! And again as the Lord said:

John 8:32
“And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.”

What is truth? Christ again, speaking to God, His Father said: “Sanctify them by Your truth. Your word [hence the Word of God] is truth.” The truth, the Word of God, will make you free. Will you seek this Word? Where we set our mind on is something CRITICAL. We will either be co-formed with this world or we will grow, be transformed by choosing - and it is a CHOICE and one that WE make – to renew our minds by setting it on things above and not on things of this earth, by feeding it with the Word of God so that we grow thereby.

«For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal but mighty in God for pulling down strongholds, casting down arguments and every high thing that exalts itself against the knowledge of God, bringing every thought into captivity to the obedience of Christ» (2 Corinthians 10:4-5)

IF Is Conditional. Believer’s Security Is Clearly Conditional.

IF Is Conditional

Posted on December 2, 2011 by Eternal Life Blog

The controversy about the believer’s security is immediately ended by observing the various Bible passages related to eternal life that contain the little word “if.” Since if is the badge of a conditional statement, then the believer’s security is clearly conditional and not unconditional with such evidence. Here are the eternal facts, like it or not:

By this gospel you are saved, if you hold firmly to the word I preached to you. Otherwise, you have believed in vain. (1 Cor 15:2)

The one and only Christian “gospel” shouts out a conditional security for the believer. It is another gospel which denies that. As clear as that is, the following verses also supplement that gospel truth with more insights by saying the Christian must hold firmly till the end to share in Christ, etc.:

We have come to share in Christ if we hold firmly till the end the confidence we had at first. (Heb 3:14)

For if you live according to the sinful nature, you will die; but if by the Spirit you put to death the misdeeds of the body, you will live, (Rom 8:13)

See that what you have heard from the beginning remains in you. If it does, you also will remain in the Son and in the Father. And this is what he promised us–even eternal life. (1 John 2:24,25)

About a dozen other Scriptures could also be cited, but those four suffice to prove that the believer’s security held out in the Christian gospel is conditional, that us sharing in Christ is conditional, that the Christian experiencing spiritual death or not is conditional, and us remaining in Christ and having eternal life is also conditional. It doesn’t get any better than that as far as clarity!

Any person open to the truth of Scripture can verify those facts for themselves. The conclusion, though disturbing to many, is a conditional security for the believer.That means there is no once saved always saved or eternal security, since all those spiritually lethal things can occur and can therefore interfere with final salvation and inheriting eternal life (Gal. 6:8,9).
