What saith the Scripture

  December 25th, 2020 Galatians 4:4 Authorized King James Bible [AKJB]:   “ but when the fulness of the time was come, God sent forth his Son, made of a woman, made under the law,” When it was the perfect time God!   Accept or reject, God is sovereign, there isn’t nothing He doesn’t know.   Man showing his ignorance will guess at, spin scripture trying to make himself something that he isn’t [as satan Isa 14:11-15].   It isn’t sufficient for man to love God and believe that He is [Heb 11:1-6].   It’s not enough to believe God and what He has said in His Word of Himself or of us.   What He has done on our behalf, giving us all that is needed to be made a new creature [2 Cor 5:17] is in Him.   Man will either totally reject Him, by trying their hardest to confuse and re-write the scripture that He hath given us to better in their own eyes.   God has made it as simple as possible in revealing the mysteries of God unto Paul sinc...

  John 3:16   Authorized King James Version [AKJV]:   “For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.”                   Believe what about Him? 1 Corinthians 15:1-4 [AKJV]:   “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 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;” Had a person tell me that these two scriptures were the same and that if one is “born again”   [John 3:3-7] he’s also a new creature [2 Cor 5:17], but that isn’t right, how can it be?  ...

  John 3:18-21Authorized (King James) Version:   “And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil. For every one that doeth evil hateth the light, neither cometh to the light, lest his deeds should be reproved.   But he that doeth truth cometh to the light, that his deeds may be made manifest, that they are wrought in God.” Paul wrote: “ who will have all men to be saved, and to come unto the knowledge of the truth.”   So what is that keeps man from the truth?   I believe it to be pride, the same thing that caused Lucifer to fall, Isaiah 14:12:14.   Verse 11 of that passage “Thy pomp” which could be interpreted or defined as “pride” is what first welled up in him.   That pride was instilled in Adam when he fell and disobeyed God through unbelief.   That seed planted today is called that “old man”   as opposed to the new “creature” of 2 Cor...

"But God be thanked, that ye were the servants of sin, but ye have obeyed from the heart that form of doctrine which was delivered you" Paul wanted his followers [1 Cor 4:16, 11:1] to know who God is as Father, the L ORD  Jesus Christ, and Holy Spirit are.  Paul gave himself and his followers then as ensamples [1 Cor 10:11, 2 Thess 3:9] showing us how we are to walk in this new life in Christ.  This had never been done before in any writings.  Paul and Paul alone has given us, the body of Christ doctrine to be believed and lived.     Doctrine is listed six in the Old Testament, twelve times in the gospels, several times in the later epistles of James, Peter, and John.  But Paul writes of "doctrine" some twenty-three times.  From that, I see that doctrine is most important for the believer today.  Why is that?  The Jew, Israel had the law to direct them in times past [Eph 2:2] and ages to come [2:7].   But Gentiles [Eph 2:1...
