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.

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...

Which Body?

  2 Corinthians 5:10 For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ; that every one may receive the things  done  in  his  body, according to that he hath done, whether  it be  good or bad. Ephesians 4:4 There is  one body, and one Spirit, even as ye are called in one hope of your calling; The word “body” has many definitions.   In 2 Corinthians 5:10, Strong’s #4983 defines body as “used in a very wide application”. First look at 2 Corinthians 5:10, and remove the italics.   Italics are not scripture but an addition made by the King James translators to make the flow of or the reading of easier.   So, without the italics;   “ For we must all appear before the judgement seat of Christ; that every one may receive the things in body, according to that he hath done, whether good or bad.   My question was how do I define this word “body”.   Is it the physical body or as per Ephesians 4:4a; “...

Who Provides?

JEHOVAH-JIREH In Hebrew “JEHOVA-JIREH is defined as “The L ORD my Provider”.   The word “provider” as used here isn’t a given.   The item being provided must be believed to be authentic and is capable of doing what is promised. Until one believes God [ 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. Heb 11:6] no spiritual and little physical profit is gained.   First then, what must one believe? That God is and what He says to an individual is important, is truth,   [Sanctify them through thy truth: thy word  is truth. John 17:17]. Next, that He is faithful to do as promised [ God  is  faithful, by whom ye were called unto the fellowship of his Son Jesus Christ our Lord.   1 Cor 1:9          There hath no temptation taken you but such as is...
