The KJV and Other Translations

Posted on January 25, 2014 by Eternal Life Blog

[Bible Response About The KJV] Greetings in Jesus’ name. We have MUCH material on many subjects that should bless and strengthen you spiritually. Please take your time and look over these 2 websites: Evangelical Outreach and Eternal Life Blog.

Please know, the kjv only controversy is based on propaganda and misinformation. For example, you mentioned “missing words.” holy living not kjv The so-called “missing words” are NOT a translational issue as you have been told!  The difference is the GREEK MANUSCRIPTS the translations are based on. The kjv is based on the Textus Receptus, which is different than many of the modern translations.  Hence, the “missing words” are NOT MISSING IN THOSE OTHER GREEK MANUSCRIPTS!  **It is just as rational to say the kjv has ADDED WORDS which shouldn’t be there.  But the so-called “missing words” are not really missing, since they are footnoted in many of the modern translations.

KJV Is NOT Understandable

Getting past the missing/added words, the kjv is NOT understandable.  That is enough reason to set the kjv aside. It is self-deceived people who say they can understand the kjv and even a 10 year old can understand it (like heretic David J. Stewart spreads). That is utter nonsense. Can you understand this from the kjv:

O ye Corinthians, our mouth is open unto you, our heart is enlarged. Ye are not straitened in us, but ye are straitened in your own bowels. (2 Cor 6:11,12, kjv)

CAN YOU? Why read a translation like that? It only because of propaganda and tradition.

Changed Word Meanings

The kjv has many words which have changed their meanings over the years, since 1611. That is another major issue with the kjv.  Reading the kjv will mislead the reader when coming to certain words.

Do you believe GOD REPENTS OF EVIL?  I consider that BLASPHEMY, yet it is the translation in the kjv — the actual reading!  Kjv onlyites want us to believe the kjv is the PERFECT bible, PRESERVED bible and GOD’S ONLY Bible. That is propaganda and nonsense, based on the facts. We have many teachings to help you better understand this.  (The false god of the kjv REPENTS OF EVIL! That is not my God, who is holy, sinless, does everything perfect and knows the future.)

**BTW, in some cases kjv onlyism is elevated to a SALVATION issue! That makes it a FALSE GOSPEL!

The Real Issue — Are You Living Holy NOW

ARE YOU LIVING HOLY NOW? That is the issue, not what translation you are reading! Can you relate to this verse NOW:

But now that you have been set free from sin and have become slaves to God, the benefit you reap leads to holiness, and the result is eternal life. (Rom 6:22)

In other words, are you FREE from your SIN ADDICTIONS, as Christians are?  There is NO eternal security.  Remember Heb. 3:14.

Doomsday Clock Is Ticking

Posted on January 18, 2014 by Eternal Life Blog

The Doomsday Clock is an imaginary clock showing how humanity is destroying itself with nuclear weapons and the related. According to the Science and Security Board of the Bulletin of Atomic Scientists, it is positioned at 5 minutes till midnight for earth’s destruction! doomsday clockThe Doomsday Clock is related to a “civilization-threatening technological catastrophe.”

The Doomsday Clock is the invention of the Bulletin of Atomic Scientists, a publication started by some of the researchers who worked on the atomic bomb. The wife of one of these researchers, Martyl Langsdorf, was a painter. In 1947, she illustrated the first Bulletin cover to feature the Doomsday Clock set at that point at 11:53 p.m.

Langsdorf died in March 2013, but her creation lives on. In January 2012, the Bulletin’s board set the minute hand of the clock at 11:55 p.m., one minute closer to midnight than the previous year. ( http://www.foxnews.com/science/2014/01/15/doomsday-clock-set-at-5-til-midnight/   )

Fukushima and The Doomsday Clock

The Fukushima, Japan nuclear meltdown that occurred in 2011 is an example of a major nuclear accident that is quickly destroying our planet, though mainly hushed up. At this point in time, radiation from Japan has already reached the western coast of California and elsewhere. One can only speculate how ocean fish, plant life, animals and people eating them (and other radiated things from the waters) have already been poisoned. Furthermore, the world’s oceans all seem to be endangered by Fukushima with its poisoned radiated waters. Though some would like to tie that into an end time Biblical connection to Wormwood, Scripture doesn’t directly refer to that catastrophe.  The Wormwood event mentioned in Rev. 8:11 is not Fukushima, even though the killer waters from it will be affected too. Why? Wormwood fell from the sky:

The third angel sounded his trumpet, and a great star, blazing like a torch, fell from the sky on a third of the rivers and on the springs of water — the name of the star is Wormwood. A third of the waters turned bitter, and many people died from the waters that had become bitter. (Rev 8:10)

The hand writing is on the wall! The end is drawing nearer and the Doomsday Clock is ticking away. IF we live to die a natural death or not, our earthly life is limited and there is NO real lasting hope here for anyone. No one is getting out of here alive (Heb. 9:27)! We are all going to die and that is a fact of life. Don’t believe the deceived scientists, like Ray Kurzweil or anyone else who would say we can gain eternal life (their misuse of the Biblical term) through nanobots, genetics or any other way! The only way anyone can get true eternal life is by having the Lord Jesus as their own personal Lord and Savior. The grave is NOT the end, but the real issue is WHERE WILL YOU GO AFTER DEATH? Never forget that your SOUL is your most valuable possession. To escape hell and enter a Paradise environment, we MUST be walking holy and doing the will of God, as we have 100% faith and trust in the Lord Jesus for our salvation. (We are not saved by our good works.) If we are not living holy, our current Christian profession and so-called Christian faith is worthless to save us from our sins and the damnation of hell. With or without the Doomsday Clock ticking away and earth’s nuclear weapons and accidents, our own personal natural life is vanishing, even without the tikker death clock to verify it. Do you know Jesus NOW? Are you ready to die and leave everything in this life behind to enter eternity? Be sure your personal Doomsday Clock is approaching midnight, with or without Fukushima and the approaching Antichrist!

When Going To Church Is Detrimental To Your Spiritual Health

Posted on January 18, 2014 by Eternal Life Blog

It was never meant to be that way, but the truth is, in our current apostasy going to church can be detrimental and even lethal to your spiritual health!  Though true, that fact is seldom heard! In fact, the opposite is often emphasized, as the below picture shows. The rampant sin among those who profess salvation and the general ignorance of Scripture leading to unholy and worldly examples all take a spiritual toll on the saints who are spiritually hungry and want fed God’s word. go to church Many are not qualified to be in spiritual leadership. Also, to attend such a church is far worse than just being frustrating. It has become a place where the righteous are given spiritual poison and slowly induced into a death sleep, losing any Holy Spirit fire and evangelistic zeal for souls once exhibited. Let me prove that such going to church can be adverse for the saints amidst all the religious songs and religious talk.

The Laodicean Detrimental Church

The Laodiceans were an Asian church group mentioned in Rev. 3:14-22. The whole church had grown lukewarm and Jesus issued them a life or death ultimatum – be earnest, repent and become hot or get spued out of the body of Christ! Imagine that! If they refused, Jesus would spue them out of his body (v.16). To be expelled from Christ’s body is to be without spiritual life, since Jesus is the life. That alone refutes the Calvinist nonsense that sanctification is progressive and guaranteed. It didn’t happen like that for them (nor for many others)!

The Corinthian Detrimental Church

If you were alive in Paul’s day, going to the Corinthian church would have been detrimental to you! WHY? Their meetings were doing more harm than good!

In the following directives I have no praise for you, for your meetings do more harm than good. (1 Cor 11:17)

Even in Paul’s day, when the apostles were still alive, more harm than good was being done in church services at Corinth, as the above proves! Folks, going to church can be detrimental at times. Going to church is not a cure-all!

Do not be misled: “Bad company corrupts good character.” (1 Cor 15:33)

Don’t Share In their Sins

If anyone comes to you and does not bring this teaching, do not take him into your house or welcome him. Anyone who welcomes him shares in his wicked work. (2 John 1:10,11)

To help spread heretical teachings, even by providing a platform for such people, is to share in their wicked work. Be very careful who you support and endorse!

You Must Not Associate With Them

But now I am writing you that you must not associate with anyone who calls himself a brother but is sexually immoral or greedy, an idolater or a slanderer, a drunkard or a swindler. With such a man do not even eat. What business is it of mine to judge those outside the church? Are you not to judge those inside? God will judge those outside. “Expel the wicked man from among you.” (1 Cor 5:11-13)

Therefore, just relying on going to church is baseless. Many Christians have obediently come out of the counterfeit churches of our day to gather with a few, who call on the name of the Lord with a pure heart (2 Tim. 2:22), because going to church can be counterproductive.

Carnal Christian Bible Comment

Posted on January 18, 2014 by Eternal Life Blog

[Praise Report and Comment] I want to thank you for your book [The Believer’s Conditional Security: Eternal Security Refuted].  It has helped me tremendously in defending the faith.  I am a born again Christian who believes in the Trinity and or that Jesus is God.  I strive to live holy and fruitful for my Lord.  I believe those who abide in unrepentant sin are not saved.  I debate with others about Eternal Security online for several years. I strive to love people by the power of Jesus Christ.  My goal is to love all other people and point them to Jesus Christ and His Holy teachings. Anyways, I have defended against OSAS (Once Saved Always Saved), Eternal Security, Antinomianism for several years with Scripture with usually no trouble.  However, today was the first day I ran into a bit of a snag (for a short part of the day).  It was 1 Corinthians chapter 3. NO Eternal Security book At first glance, I could see from the Eternal Security proponent’s position in how they could justify their position of the carnal Christian (although I did not agree with it)…. Anyways, may God bless you this fine day. And may His love shine upon you in a beautiful way today, too. Sincerely,

[Bible Answer] Greetings in Jesus’ name.  We are glad our book (The Believer’s Conditional Security: Eternal Security Refuted) has tremendously helped you defend the faith. Thank you God! Many others have told us similar things and that is because, when the truth of God’s word shines on darkness, the errors are exposed and resolved. Eternal security is blatantly false and mainly believed because people are not reading their Bibles, but just primarily listening to the popular and misleading leaders of our apostasy (Joseph Prince, John MacArthur, Charles Stanley, Ray Comfort, Chuck Swindoll, etc.).

Please be assured there is nothing the eternal security camp can ever present for support that is solidly based on Scripture. Nothing! Their 1 Cor. 3 carnal Christian argument is no exception, though respected OSAS teachers of the past and present (Dave Hunt, Charles Stanley, Joseph Prince, etc.) have specifically tried to force out that dangerous interpretation. They wrongly think a person once saved, who is currently guilty of drunkenness, theft, sexual immorality, murder, etc., remains saved! That is the OSAS “carnal Christian” of our dark hour.  Sad, but true yet many church people have been deceived by their distortions.

Since you have The Believer’s Conditional Security: Eternal Security Refuted, you have more than enough to adequately refute that argument too. Follow along please. On pages 441 to 444 their common 1 Cor. 3:12-15 argument is expressed in their own words, examined and demolished with Scripture. The key is WHY are potential rewards lost. As our book cites, the Bible shows it is because of a wrong motive, as being honored by men here and now (Mt. 6). The dangerous teachers, however, want us to believe it is because of sexual sin, drunkenness, etc., when the Bible teaches such people are not Christian at all (1 Cor. 6:9,10; Eph. 5:5-7; etc.)!

Sometimes the OSAS people will try to tie the 1 Cor. 5:1-5 sexually immoral man in with their carnal Corinthian teaching. Again, the Bible demolishes their distortions. On pages 362 to 364 their feeble argument is dissolved. That man was wicked (v. 13) and not saved at all.  NOTE: “may be saved” (1 Cor. 5:5, kjv) doesn’t mean “is saved now.”  See also pages 706 to 708 for additional insights, and especially the entire chapter devoted to their false Carnal Christian myth on pages 153-165. That chapter is loaded and shows precisely what their demonic teachings are on this. Also, 1 Cor. 5:11 is powerfully clear that the Corinthian congregation was NOT filled with sexually immoral people, etc., as the heretics sometimes teach. The Corinthian saints, were saints, like all other holy people and not like those listed in 1 Cor. 5:11. THANK YOU for your kind words about our book and teachings. Be sure to check out our massive websites Evangelical Outreach and Eternal Life Blog. May God bless you and may you be an honor to Jesus….

PS: Do you know about our smaller book, The Myth of Eternal Security, which also refutes eternal security and supplements The Believer’s Conditional Security: Eternal Security Refuted, but without documentation? It too has been a blessing for some. We also have a weekly internet church you may be interested in.

Inri Cristo Claims To Be Jesus

Posted on January 18, 2014 by Eternal Life Blog

Inri Cristo, a man from Brasilia, Brazil (where he says is the location of New Jerusalem) thinks he is the son of God reincarnated.inri cristo For 35 years this 66 year old man has been preaching and making dangerous false claims about his own identity.

Inri Cristo is just another deceiver and false christ, who has somehow hoodwinked some to become his devotees! The real Lord Jesus Christ foretold that there would be frauds like Inri Cristo who would arise and deceive people:

For false Christs and false prophets will appear and perform great signs and miracles to deceive even the elect–if that were possible.  See, I have told you ahead of time. “So if anyone tells you, ‘There he is, out in the desert,’ do not go out; or, ‘Here he is, in the inner rooms,’ do not believe it.” (Mat 24:24-26)

Inri Cristo got his name from the first letter of each of the following Latin words, which appear on modern crucifixes – INRI. Those Latin words are Iesus Nazarenus, Rex Iudaeorum, or in English: Jesus the Nazarene, King of the Jews. Anyone can make a claim, but that doesn’t mean it can be proven.

The Real Jesus

Since the real Jesus and Savior of mankind had the scars of his crucifixion in his hands, feet and side after he resurrected (Lk. 24:39,40; John 20:20,27), then Inri Cristo (if the same person) should display them for our scrutiny and examination. But even more convincing is the fact that the real Jesus will return from the sky and be seen by people:

“Men of Galilee,” they said, “why do you stand here looking into the sky? This same Jesus, who has been taken from you into heaven, will come back in the same way you have seen him go into heaven.”  (Acts 1:11)

Look, he is coming with the clouds, and every eye will see him, even those who pierced him; and all the peoples of the earth will mourn because of him. So shall it be! Amen.  (Rev 1:7)

I saw heaven standing open and there before me was a white horse, whose rider is called Faithful and True. With justice he judges and makes war. His eyes are like blazing fire, and on his head are many crowns. He has a name written on him that no one knows but he himself.  He is dressed in a robe dipped in blood, and his name is the Word of God. The armies of heaven were following him, riding on white horses and dressed in fine linen, white and clean.  Out of his mouth comes a sharp sword with which to strike down the nations. “He will rule them with an iron scepter.” He treads the winepress of the fury of the wrath of God Almighty.  On his robe and on his thigh he has this name written: KING OF KINGS AND LORD OF LORDS. And I saw an angel standing in the sun, who cried in a loud voice to all the birds flying in midair, “Come, gather together for the great supper of God, so that you may eat the flesh of kings, generals, and mighty men, of horses and their riders, and the flesh of all people, free and slave, small and great.” Then I saw the beast and the kings of the earth and their armies gathered together to make war against the rider on the horse and his army. But the beast was captured, and with him the false prophet who had performed the miraculous signs on his behalf. With these signs he had deluded those who had received the mark of the beast and worshiped his image. The two of them were thrown alive into the fiery lake of burning sulfur. (Rev 19:11-20)

Wicked and Dangerous Inri Cristo

Inri Cristo looks innocent and innocuous, but the truth is, he is a dangerous deceiver (a wolf) who will take his devoted followers to hell with him, as was the case for Jose Luis De Jesus and will probably be the same for Moses Hlongwane and Alan John Miller, unless they repent and acknowledge their LIES. Reader, take warning, other false christs will appear too. DO NOT BE DECEIVED by them. In contrast, the real Jesus, who is sitting at the right hand of the Father on the throne in heaven (without Mary by his side), is the only one who can save us from our sins and give us eternal life.

Are You Ready to Die for Your Faith

Posted on January 10, 2014 by Eternal Life Blog

What would you do IF someone aimed a gun at your head over your Christian profession? Would you deny Christ to save your natural life?  Remember what Jesus taught:

For whoever wants to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for me and for the gospel will save it. What good is it for a man to gain the whole world, yet forfeit his soul? (Mark 8:35,36)

Have you properly understood Acts 1:8?

But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes on you; and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth. (Acts 1:8)

NOTE: The word translated witnesses there actually means martyr, in the Greek.  Is that how you perceive the Christian life?

With Me or Against Me

Posted on January 10, 2014 by Eternal Life Blog

Jesus taught one is either with me or against me in Mt. 12:30 proving there is absolutely no neutrality and NO compromise with the Lord Jesus:

With Me or Against Me Passage

He who is not with me is against me, and he who does not gather with me scatters.  (Mat 12:30)

You can’t straddle the fence with Jesus!straddle the fence Forget about lukewarmness, for the lukewarm will be spued out of Jesus’ body (Rev. 3:16)! Jesus himself will expel you from his body over this! You are in a battle and the losers get executed! You must fully, and unashamedly follow the Lord Jesus Christ to reap eternal life (Gal. 6:8,9).

Jesus is the pivotal and decisive salvation issue. He sets the conditions for salvation and has the words of eternal life (Jn. 6:68)! In fact, he is eternal life (1 John 1:1,2; 5:12). Without Jesus you can’t have eternal life or the heavenly Father (1 John 2:23). Again, Jesus said you are with me or against me. It is that simple and that narrow of a way. The road to life is a hard road, but the only road to life (Mt. 7:14).  All other paths lead to destruction. Many who counted the cost and paid the price of being Jesus’ disciple (Lk. 14:33), start the race, then after awhile turn back and never finish their race! They never enter God’s kingdom after death! They are in HELL now! To be an overcomer you must run your race with perseverance and endure to the end with a pure heart (Mt. 5:8). We must keep our eyes on Jesus, regardless who around us may fall by the wayside, just like a natural battle with mortal casualties occurring. I personally have seen various people fall away I thought would never backslide. The Bible has a stirring list of spiritual casualties and warnings about such!

The Antichrist Implication of With Me or Against Me

Also, when Jesus, the Alpha and Omega said you are with me or against me he was pointing out all the antichrist type people around us — those against him who might not even know it! In God’s eyes, those trying to be neutral are actually against Jesus, because they aren’t with Jesus! We need to be open about our commitment to Jesus. Many may be religious, but they are also spiritually dead and lost without Jesus as their personal king. TAKE WARNING and don’t join those who:

15 Inch Egyptian Finger and Peru Mummy

Posted on January 7, 2014 by Eternal Life Blog

16 inch human fingerCould it be real? Some claim a 15 inch (or 16 inch depending on the source) mummified finger has been found in Egypt, perhaps suggesting a 16 foot very tall being! If real, could it have come from ancient Nephilim?

Peru Mummy

Similar evidence comes from Peru where a strange skeleton was found, believed to be less than 2 years old, but very different and larger than the norm. Mysteries of the past abound, including the atacama humanoid!

How Can 1.2 Billion Catholics Be Wrong

Posted on January 4, 2014 by Eternal Life Blog

[Bible Question]  I am a born again Christian of many years and in the last few months starting attending RCIA classes in the small town where I live (mainly at the advice of the counselor I began seeing).  After just 2 classes I found I could no longer attend the classes because of the sincere doubt I have regarding all things Catholic.  I have found the people to be wonderful and very sincere in their beliefs. billion catholics wrong Unfortunately, I simply cannot believe many of their teachings.  My question is, how can 1.2 billion people be wrong about the Catholic church?  I also find many of them have advanced degrees and are highly intelligent…. I’m very confused about what is really true.  I have prayed diligently that the Lord will guide me to the truth.  I firmly believe in Sola Scriptura much to the dismay of the RCIA teacher here. Can you shed any light on this situation since you were once a Catholic? Blessings in the name of our Lord,

[Bible Answer] Greetings in Jesus’ name. Thank you for asking about Catholicism. When I was a Catholic, I wanted to stay a Catholic. However, when I started to read the Bible (Catholic Bible), I was thrown into confusion because of what it said! It didn’t align itself to what I was taught, especially about Mary. In the Catholic church I went to, we definitely heard more of Mary than Jesus. Other RCC may have been more moderate on Mary, but not ours. Hence, I expected to read much about her in the Bible. Not only was that missing, but what I read was the opposite of what I was taught. Lk. 11:27,28 floored me. In that passage, Jesus himself rebuked that Catholic-like woman over the very reasons why Catholicism exalts Mary!

The clearest way to know Catholicism is not only wrong, but DEADLY is their false plan of salvation (sacraments, Mary and being a Catholic) which will not save anyone from hell or set them free from their sin addictions in this life. Their whole religious system is a myth, built upon religious fairytales and fables. From Purgatory to mass being an unbloody sacrifice for sins to worshiping the consecrated communion wafer to papal infallibility to their co-redeeming, sovereign Mary reigning from the throne in heaven as Queen and the mediatrix and dispenser of all grace, etc. the Bible is contradicted! There are many Catholic deceptions. Hence, we must recognize such as not coming from the same source that gave us the Bible. The Bible is final authority (2 Tim. 3:16,17).  Go by the Bible 100% for all your doctrines and practices.

There are have been many intelligent atheists, Hindus, Muslims, Mormons, Jehovah’s Witnesses, etc. over the years who are now in hell. Intelligence is not the answer. One’s heart must LOVE TRUTH, that is God’s word. See John 18:37. Remember, conflicting messages both claiming to be truth cannot both be correct. Either one is wrong or they are both wrong, but both can’t be right. Hence, since Catholicism clashes with the Bible, it is wrong and should NOT be believed or practiced.

[When I was still a Catholic I wondered how could so many people be wrong?  Did you know there are more Muslims than Catholics? There were about 1.5 billion as of 2010. So how could the Catholics and Muslims (and Hindus and atheists, etc.) all be wrong? The Bible says the MAJORITY of people will go to hell, and only the MINORITY will enter heaven (Mt. 7:13,14).  Only the 8 people in Noah’s ark were saved at the time of the Great Flood. ALL others went to hell and the estimated population then was 2 BILLION because the people lived so long!]

NOTE: Catholicism is also rampant with idolatry — bowing before and kissing statues, “worshiping as God” the communion wafer, praying TO Mary, trusting in Mary, etc. — are idolatrous. Christians are to FLEE IDOLATRY (1 Cor. 10:14 cf. Rev. 21:8). This is all very serious. Eternity is a long time. [BTW, do you know about my book, “Is This The Mary Of The Bible?” If you can’t afford a copy and want to read it, we’ll send a FREE copy to you.] Remember:

“Dear friends, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits to see whether they are from God, because many false prophets have gone out into the world.”  (1 John 4:1)

God bless you. (Please keep in touch.)
