What saith the Scripture

2 Corinthians 4:1-4  Authorized (King James) Version (AKJV) 4  Therefore seeing we have this ministry, as we have received mercy, we faint not;    but have renounced the hidden things of dishonesty, not walking in craftiness, nor handling the word of God deceitfully; but by manifestation of the truth commending ourselves to every man’s conscience in the sight of God.    But if our gospel be hid, it is hid to them that are lost:    in whom the god of this world hath blinded the minds of them which believe not, lest the light of the glorious gospel of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine unto them. To me, this is the whole essence of man's rebellion to God’s being.   “But without faith  it is  impossible to please  him:  for he that cometh to God must believe that he is and  that  he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him.” Hebrews 11:6   Man will refuse to believe that God even is, so why should one that does think that will have an interest of s

Ecclesiastes 12:7 [AKJV]:   “ Then shall the dust return to the earth as it was: and the spirit shall return unto God who gave it.” There is a sites on the internet explaining why we are here, what our purpose is, what happens when we die and so on.   Why would a intelligent human being want to consult a secondary source? Everything I ever have wanted to know is within the pages of the King James Bible.   Man then in his mindful wisdom thinks that he can and will improve on God’s Word. My response is taken from that same Word; “Who  is  this that darkeneth counsel by words without knowledge?   Gird up now thy loins like a man; for I will demand of thee, and answer thou me.” Job 38:1-3 and continuing.

2 Timothy 2:15 [AKJV]:   "Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth." I have been taught and led to understand that there is a difference in "rightly dividing" and "handling"; "the word of truth", this is what thus far I have discovered which has been more difficult than suspected in the beginning. Definition:   "Divide"   verb:   to separate into two or more parts.     "Handle"   verb:   to try or to examine   Few translations have "dividing" as their defining word.   Most use "handling" and in so using try to make it sound more pliable to the reader.   Here are a few of the uses as to dumb down the verse.   Correctly teaching, straight forwardly, cutting a straight line, one who applies the true teaching, on and on it goes.   More can be seen at Biblegateway.com.   Following the prompts do word st

Romans 11:13 [AKJV]:   "For I speak to you Gentiles, inasmuch as I am the apostle of the Gentiles, I magnify mine office:" By Paul God has given us His Word:   "For this cause I Paul, the prisoner of Jesus Christ for you Gentiles,    if ye have heard of the dispensation of the grace of God which is given me to you-ward:    how that by revelation he made known unto me the mystery; (as I wrote afore in few words, whereby, when ye read, ye may understand my knowledge in the mystery of Christ) which in other ages was not made known unto the sons of men, as it is now revealed unto his holy apostles and prophets by the Spirit;    that the Gentiles should be fellowheirs, and of the same body, and partakers of his promise in Christ by the gospel:    whereof I was made a minister, according to the gift of the grace of God given unto me by the effectual working of his power." Ephesians 3:1-4 "For God is not  the author  of confusion, but of peace, as

[Passages from the Authorized King James Version; AKJV] Hebrews 11:6 “But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is , and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him.” Hebrews 9:22 “And almost all things are by the law purged with blood; and without shedding of blood is no remission .” Romans 3:23 “For all have sinned , and come short of the glory of God;” Romans 6:23 “For the wages of sin is death ; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.” 1 Corinthians 15:22 “ For as in Adam all die, even so in Christ shall all be made alive.” 2 Corinthians 5:18/21 “ And all things are of God, who hath reconciled us to himself by Jesus Christ, and hath given to us the ministry of reconciliation; to wit, that God was in Christ, reconciling the world unto himself, not imputing their trespasses unto them ; and hath committed unto us the word of reconciliation.
