Whats it all about Alfie?

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.

Rightly divided or handling ???

2 Timothy 2:14-16 Authorized (King James) Version: “ Of these things put them in remembrance, charging them before the Lord that they strive not about words to no profit, but to the subverting of the hearers. Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth. But shun profane and vain babblings: for they will increase unto more ungodliness.” There is in the military a directive that when one receives conflicting orders one will follow the last order given. Really that makes a lot of sense to one who has sense, but therein lies the rub. Background: the phrase above in verse “15” reads “rightly dividing the word of truth”. Modern versions will read “rightly handling” instead of “dividing”. Those two words have different meanings as seen in Hebrews 4:12 “even to dividing asunder”. If a person d...

God's good pleasure in you

Philippians 2:13 (KJV) “For it is God which worketh in you both to will and to do of his good pleasure.” It is our responsibility to allow God to be God in our lives; we needn’t worry of our situations, we need to learn: “For the which cause I also suffer these things: nevertheless I am not ashamed: for I know whom I have believed, and am persuaded that he is able to keep that which I have committed unto him against that day.” 2 Timothy 1:12. What things do we suffer? Does it matter, really in the light of eternity what is our present suffering, large or small: “For I reckon that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which shall be revealed in us.” Romans 8:18. Do we not have a promise from God concerning trails: “There hath no temptation taken you but such as is common to man: but God is faithful, w...

Paul's salvation, How?

Acts 4:12 (KJV): “ Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved.” Continued in attachments; also at whatsaiththescruiptures.blogspot.com Was Saul (later Paul; Acts 13:9) saved as a Israelite when under the law as given by Moses? “Though I might also have confidence in the flesh. If any other man thinketh that he hath whereof he might trust in the flesh, I more: circumcised the eighth day, of the stock of Israel, of the tribe of Benjamin, an Hebrew of the Hebrews; as touching the law, a Pharisee; concerning zeal, persecuting the church; touching the righteousness which is in the law, blameless. But what things were gain to me, those I counted loss for Christ.” Philippians 3:4-7. Saul in the flesh was at the apex of the Jewish religion, but when on the road to Damascus he confessed by asking “Who art thou, L...
