Personals of author:

I try to only give what I believe God has given me.  I don't force it or do what I think is best.  When I do:  "whatsayeththescriptures".  I write about personal experiences.  This week I was given nothing.  When I email out these writings there are two attachments attached, included here.


An invitation to Christ

If you haven't yet, I invite you to believe in the Lord Jesus as Christ, your personal Savior.  If you have never believed and made that commitment to Christ, I ask you to believe the gospel and be born again.  The Gospel is simple: its who Jesus is and what Christ did in His death, burial & Resurrection; Christ died for all our sins: 2 Cor 5:21.  He was buried John 19:38/42 & arose again for our justification Ro 4:25 & 1 Cor 15 the resurrection chapter. 

       Its not what you know or when, where and how you say what you say but the condition of the heart in belief. Tell Him. 

"Lord Jesus, I believe; help me"  If this is the truth in your heart and 
God knows, in that moment of belief,  you are then  "BORN AGAIN"

The proof of that transformation; "Born again" will be observed by the new believing born again person in a change of desires.  This is the Holy Spirit beginning to work in you to form you into the image of Christ.  If this is not present I would doubt that a true born-again experience has happened and that the individual had an encounter with the Living Christ but has yet to believe unto salvation.  If you have questions please ask that I may be allowed to direct your reading of scripture to passages that will address your questions.

Scripture of the Week disclaimer:

i am not affiliated with any religious group or denomination.  I have no other goal than to do what I believe God has given me to do.  I prayerfully seek His face to write His will, all that He gives me to write is supported by scripture.  I have no agenda,  I try as much as possible, that is in me not to allow a certain bent or bias to impact these writings.  I am open to any questions as to why or criticism even if not supported by scripture.  I use the King James Version because personally, it speaks to my spirit, I have come to trust in its wording and grammar.  I understand that there may be mistakes in the translation, but I don't believe God Almighty would have allowed such mistakes to take place or to allow them to stay in place for this long. 

I write of how His word has impacted my life, how I understand what He has done for me.  If I confess being a thief, a liar, covetous or such like it is because before His grace saved me through faith that was what I was and did, ashamed yes, repentant yes, redeemed yes, born again yes . . . . . . (2 Corinthians 5:17/19)

If any title is to be placed on me now i would hope that it would be "child of God":   past that some might call me Pauline, that being I take my understandings from Paul with the understanding that all scripture was written for our learning (Romans 15:4), but "In the day when God shall judge the secrets of men by Jesus Christ according to my gospel."  Romans 2:16, that said guess I'm of a Pauline bent.  

I believe that "All scripture ( the Bible, is indisputable inerrant) given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness: That the man of God may be perfect, thoroughly furnished unto all good works."  2 Timothy 3:16/17.  "Knowing this first, that no prophecy of the scripture is of any private interpretation.  For the prophecy came not in old time by the will of man: but holy men of God spake as they were moved by the Holy Ghost." 2 Peter 1:20/21.  When scripture says Mary was a virgin, Mary was a virgin, when Jesus says You must be born again, one must be born again, reading  Jesus walked on water, He walked on water.  When it says he was crucified, given up for my transgressions, He was given up, He was buried, He arose again; raised for my justification; and when it reads He will return, He will return.  I don't need to comprehend it, I don't even have too understand it but I will without reservation believe it.

Sin; what sin?

Romans 6:14a [Authorized King James Version]:   "For sin shall not have dominion over you:"   So then if sin "shall not" it has to be a conscious decision to do or not to do.   The more knowledge one has of God's Word the less apt one is to sin, exercise unbelief: " And when he is come, he will reprove the world of sin, and of righteousness, and of judgment:   Of sin, because they believe not on me; Of righteousness, because I go to my Father, and ye see me no more;   Of judgment, because the prince of this world is judged." John 16:8-11.   Verse 9 states that the sin, the worlds sin [from verse 8] is unbelief in Him and of His death, burial and resurrection (DBR) for the payment of ones sin.   That is the gospel that is presented for salvation now!   " If ye have heard of the dispensation of the grace of God which is given me to you-ward:" Ephesians 3:2.   "But now being made free from sin, and become servants to God, ye...

Do what to be saved?

Acts 16:29-31 Authorized King James Version [AKJV]:   'Then he called for a light, and sprang in, and came trembling, and fell down before Paul and Silas, And brought them out, and said Sirs, what must I do to be saved?   And they said, Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved, and thy house."   The question that has plagued man thought out history; what must one believe to be saved?   Believe the gospel which is what?   " 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 rose again the third day according to the scriptures:" 1Corinthains 15:1-4.   To believe that t...

Todays gospel that saves

Psalms 119:105 (KJV):   “Thy word  is  a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path.” What I would direct your attention too is “Thy word is a lamp unto my feet,”   Most people I speak within the recent past concerning the King James Version (KJV). are anti-KJV.   Reasons given for disliking the KJV are varied but most comments pertain to being hard to understand due to antiquated language.   Also, questionable resources used to translate and wording which lacks flow as is common in today's language.   In that same way, I find few who still use the KJV are of such a mind to those opponents of the KJV.   I personally haven’t any issue with those who refuse to consider the KJV, but do ask them to give credible reasons for denying the legitimacy of KJV; when pressured haven’t heard a reasonable excuse as not to even try the KJV but will go on the defensive and most often become agitated at the questions. When one ...
