Then, now and until

" I have glorified thee on earth: I have finished the work which thou gavest me to do ."  John 17:4  Authorized King James Version [AKJV]. "When Jesus therefore had received the vinegar, he said,  It is finished : and he bowed his head, and gave up the ghost.  John 19:30 [AKJV]. Note: all passages reference are from the Authorized King James Version In John 17:4 it is written that "I have finished the work" but the crucifixion wasn't completed until John 19:30.  To me, God, the Lord Jesus Christ shows His omniscience.  He, Jesus being the incarnation of the only true God knows the future from the past as He lives in our now.  All I have is the memory of the past, the trials of the present, and the hope of the future.  So then, when I read passages as Ephesians 1:3 although I'm in the present, after believing the gospel 1 Corinthians 15:1-4, God now sees me in my future, in Him.  "Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of thing

What did He come to do?

  "He saith unto them, But whom say ye that I am? " Matthew 16:15, Authorized King James Version [AKJV]. Peter [Matt 16:16], Martha [John 11:27], the Ethiopian Eunuch [Acts 8:37], and Saul [9:20]; but is that for us today? I think not. In those passages, there wasn't mention of His death, burial, and resurrection as there now is for us [humanity] today. We are instructed now to believe?  But to believe what then, do you have a scripture passage for that?  Yes, yes I do. "Moreover brethren, I declare unto you the gospel which I preached unto you, which also ye have received and wherein ye stand; By which also ye are saved, if ye keep in memory what I preached unto you, unless ye have believed in vain.  For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures; And that he was buried, and that he arose again the third day according to the scripture."      1 Corinthians 15:1-4. I say in accordanc

Why the "authorized" KJV?

"Wherefore art thou  red in thine apparel, and thy garments like him that treadeth in the winefat."  Isaiah 63:2 [in context read 63:1-6]  " A certain man planted a vineyard, and set a hedge about it , and digged a place for the winefat,"  Mark 12:1b and c.   While listening to a recent TV minister I observed what I thought at the time a miss-spelling in the text of the Bible I currently use, in which I have found several.  It's a King James Version "Authorized", and have often wondered what's the difference between the given as "authorized" and the other not.   After some research and consideration, I saw this.  Thinking it was a textural error I checked several other KJV authorized and non-authorized finding they all used the word winevat.  But the authorized used both "vat" and "fat".  So why the disparity in the spelling and only used in those two places in scripture? To me, it was getting interesting.  I have lear

From the heart

 Some know but most don't and even fewer believe.  The Gospel that saves in this "the dispensation of the grace of God"  Ephesians 3:2 which was given Paul [Romans 2:16] to give to us in this time we now live.   "Moreover brethren, I declare unto you the gospel which I preached unto you, which also ye have received, and wherein ye stand; By which also ye are saved, if ye keep in memory what I preached unto you, unless ye have believed in vain.  For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures; And that he was buried, and that he arose again the third day according to the scripture"  12 Corinthians 15:1-4 AKJV Believe God, what he has said of you:  "For all have sinned and come short of the glory of God." Romans 3:23.  That "For the wages of sin is  death,  but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord."   I plead with you, believe the gospel. if
