Amen,
Our enemies are subdued as well Amen to that: thanks for reviving that Scripture here. Always good to brush up on Jehoshaphat - through the lenses of the Gospel, which has us harmless and of good will towards our enemies. He makes a good example of those men of faith who trusted not in sword and armour more than the Word and Spirit of the LORD. Nor do I think his were the kind that would gather to golden crosses or finely decked altars. |

Neh.8:3 "And he read therein before the street that was before the water gate from the morning until midday, before the men and the women, and those that could understand; and the ears of all the people were attentive unto the book of the law. (4) And Ezra the scribe stood upon a pulpit of wood, which they had made for the purpose....(8) So they read in the book in the law of God distinctly, and gave the sense, and caused them to understand the reading. (9) And Nehemiah, which is the Tirshatha, and Ezra the priest the scribe, and the Levites that taught the people..."Holding this up for a pattern to do things before God, though it is said that Moses was read in synagogues as regularily when Christ began to be preached: so many of them followed the Gospel, yet many did not. Doctrines of men would not pervade in scattering the congregation if the KJV of the NT was read plainly, in the same manner that the law was read in the above verses. Not as by constraint of law, but indeed by the fellowship of the Apostles, would we add daily to the church such as should be saved, without lack of anything great (spiritual work ethic and cooperation, grace) or small (things needful after the flesh). |

Thank you. So could you tell me what was your purpose in quoting this text from Ezekiel please? You're welcome. The purpose is because our Saviour put it into my heart to point out that we are not speaking a hard language here, so to mete out back and forth edification in Christ only. |

Bottle rocket, what is your first language? english is my first language - was my expression too flawed for you? Eze 3:4 "And he said unto me, Son of man, go, get thee unto the house of Israel, and speak with my words unto them. (5) For thou art not sent to a people of a strange speech and of an hard language, but to the house of Israel; (6) Not to many people of a strange speech and of an hard language, whose words thou canst not understand. Surely, had I sent thee to them, they would have hearkened unto thee. (7) But the house of Israel will not hearken unto thee; for they will not hearken unto me: for all the house of Israel are impudent and hardhearted." |

As Jesus said to not take thought for what we should wear, eat, or drink, but while any of these called by his name do so, they expect others to do like they do: but their altars are not bringing anyone to perfection, neither am I aware of these following Scriptures to stop lying in wait around the baptismal, where children break forth (Hosea 13:13). Whereas Christ said A MAN (one of age who also feels the Lord calling them) had to be born of water and spirit, to be born again: we follow him. Apostle Paul, who is in the Lord, said he was not sent to baptize, which also should be our order, insofar as we move on to perfection, and are willing to vile-up our raiment in bringing the word of God to all men (as Jeremiah was sent to all, we should be, too): but one with common/vile clothes waltzes in among the suits and ties, and I have seen the cares and affairs of this life take priority, if they are not a snake pit altogether.Now if the Holy Bible was read devotedly from the altar, the communion of the Holy Ghost, partaken by the Prophets and Apostles, would bring fruit to perfection. |

Ezekiel 39:2 "...leave but the sixth part" KJV; what's that all about? Gog and Magog will be drawn to their doom and completely annihilated according to Rev 20:8-9 with no part left! And the pagan word "Easter" in Acts 12:4 where all they had to do was transliterate the Greek; makes me think that was done on purpose. "Knowing this first, that no prophecy of the Scripture is of ANY private interpretation." No translation is a 100% accurate; none. If you think that then you have left yourselves wide open to deception. I'm starting to think that a lot of nationalism and maybe a little racism is starting to creep in. That is one of the reasons why Jesus the Jew is almost always depicted as an Anglo-Saxon. Many of you will be disappointed (and maybe even a little suspicious) not to hear the Lord sounding like Shakespeare upon His return. Yes, Shane, there is absolutely no substitute for a true relationship with Jesus the Word of God which needs no translation. Scripture says if any man lacks wisdom, to ask, and it will be given liberally. Also, the Lord tends to sever the gifts among us, that we are to some degree depending on the rest of the body, even as we know and prophesy in part until the fulness of the blessing. |

Unprofitable Servant wrote:
You talked about the pattern shown to Moses in the mount which in the passage which is clearly a reference to the Old Covenant, yet you use in relation to being conformed to the image of Christ and being perfect as our heavenly Father is perfect which is part of the New covenant. (see Hebrews 8).
We show the Lord's death until He come according to the passage in Corinthians by partaking in what has been termed Communion or the Lord's Supper. It is an inward look (so as not to eat and drink unworthily), a backward look (at the great sacrifice our Lord made at Calvary) and a future look (we do it until He comes).
To answer you commune with the Father it is done through the Word of God (in our various interactions with it) and prayer (I Timothy 4:5)
As to the "brethren in chief", being used in writing the New Testament, that did not make one any higher than the chief of sinners. That's good, I allow that, nay, do it all the time, because the word says to meditate in Scripture day and night for good success, and that we shall bind his words on our fingers and make them the frontlets of our eyes. A good minister puts them in mind, as dependent upon the wages: the Apostles provide the same bread and pillar all to live by. |

John UK wrote:
That is not a tradition, it is scripture. Now what tradition are you of? Or what church do you adhere to?  Not one: though I have considered whether Christ is in them of a truth. Which one or more do you adhere? I believe as Apostle Paul indicated in Acts 20, that the flock has been scattered (by wolves) from Early Church and Scripture form (former rain), and has been in wrestlings with Nicolaitan/Babylon and the Beast, since his departing: we are to this day awaiting the latter rain of the Holy Ghost.All that is required by me is baptism of water and Spirit, which agree with the Scriptures. When Jesus said as often that we eat and drink of his cup, it's not to be all the time go eating and drinking dedicated bread and wine in places called by his name. But he did say (book of John): 6:51 "I am the living bread which came down from heaven: if any man eat of this bread, he shall live for ever: and the bread that I will give is my flesh, which I will give for the life of the world." If the Bible had not given a sturdy place for it, then I wouldn't know what tradition I keep: but since his name is the Word of God, what else may we eat of and live, but the Scriptures? It's as John ate the roll, if you ask me. |

John UK wrote:
The tradition you have received is not right, not by a long way. Observe:
1 Corinthians 11:23-26
This passage is referring to the Breaking of Bread service, eating bread and drinking wine. Not reading the Bible and obeying God in good works.
What tradition are you? Of the tradition that goes on to say "Wherefore whosoever shall eat this bread, and drink this cup of the Lord, unworthily, shall be guilty of the body and blood of the Lord. But let a man examine himself, and so let him eat of that bread, and drink of that cup." The difference between "this bread and cup" and "that bread and cup" is differences in the so called style of administration (as we now seem to hold), or so called "preferred versions" for Bible reading (call it in my own sight well right if you want, but we are handling the flesh of Christ by handling the book of the LORD). Scriptures bond us with the body of Christ, for those who endure long with the Lord Jesus, as the disciples had endured long by the time they sat at last supper. There are no other works to mention, but what proceed from one who has tasted the word of God, and power of things to come, according to the Scriptures. Nothing we can barge into and sum up in any other act. |

Rank heresy! you mean my words are so persuasive they are something more than a hack attempt? do tell. how else may any man commune with the Father, than by hearing and keeping the testimony of his Son? i only sought to pass off to others the same tradition i received, and to not exalt myself over the brethren in chief, who wrote the New Testament. |

Fizzle...
Since you didn't answer my last question on the other thread. Let's try it again on this more appropriate one.
Is the only way to know the Lord through reading the kjv? ...only to those who have ears to hear, eyes to see, fingers to feel, the time of day. Of course, the Bible tells me the answer to that question, and even authorizes me to avoid the question (being foolish and unlearned). But to attach one more, let me say that the Lord commanded us to be perfect, and conformed to his image, which is also after the pattern shown to Moses in the mount, which is best discerned through the Gospel. In the same vein, we are told that as long as we eat this bread (reading the Bible, our daily bread from heaven) and drink this cup (which is walking in the same steps and works as we see with the Father and the Son), we are doing God's will at a fundamental level, even showing the Lord's death in ourselves until he returns (1 Corinthians 11:26). |

Well, that's good news. Thanks John. I know some say anything other than the King James is garbage, but I would say "some" are garbage. I do prefer the KJ, but have really come to like the flow of the NKJ over it. that's too bad, because there's more than an house full of gnats in that little rendition. Just glance over an interlinear in Rev.13 and Dan.9:24-27 where the KJV bears all accuracy. |

Honestly, I'm a little surprised by the anger towards this. While I haven't read the whole article, it seems like it is a modern translation based on the Textus Receptus, rather than the eclectic Greek testaments from after 1611. I would have thought that the TR-onlyists would like this. Oh well. Can't please everyone I suppose. I myself read the King James aloud, and when doing so, do not always (say 1 mistake per hundred words) read accurately as it appears on the page. Likewise I naturally, or even unintentionally, interject the modern pronunciations or forms of the words, typically saying "you" for "thee", or skipping the "-est""-eth", out of relaxation, or error, you name it. But to be safe, and to leave off all old and unnecessary debates, KJV only under this pate. Do unto others as you would have them do to you, strictly. And J-Linc, you're throwing books of paper and ink, but thus saith the Lord, try throwing the hearts that those books are inscribed upon. Kick against the pricks without breaking your own foot. |

Sorry bottle rocket but the more you post the more you prove my point, you make no sense. You would do well to get to your point. You are not helping your cause for the KJV with your ramblings. I'll take it along with all common opinions, forasmuch as i don't know you from captain of the Lord's host to a tag along disciple. When you expound on the deep things of our Maker, I'll get my notebook. |

Still clear as mud. I wouldn't lead a blind man into the wrong way either. The posts that you struggled to process depends largely on our likemindedness, familiarity with the Scriptures, and your reasonable ability to make your own cross references. When I pointed out about the Holy Mount Zion, we should call to mind the passage in Hebrews 12:22 "But ye are come unto mount Sion, and unto the city of the living God, the heavenly Jerusalem..." , where there are no sinners, if I may say. I also pointed out, (however sufficiently or not) that the time will come that even a fly or bee will not want to be in the wrong place: which is of primary concern to us now, as some of us are gone aside from the precision of Bible doctrine and prophecy (which is taken up in the KJV), and are now presently in danger of false witnesses as touching that ancient path, that will of God, which leads us to the abiding city of God. For there are various stages in the Revelation of Jesus Christ, where many will approve themselves as doing God service, who also prolong their lives even during great tribulation, but will fall short, as indicated in Daniel "Blessed is he that waiteth, and cometh to the thousand three hundred and five and thirty days." |

bottle rocket fizzle pop makes no sense to me. None of the posts make sense. What exactly is he/she trying to say???????  ...call it a shot in the dark. But a bottle rocket going off is what I imagine in reaction to what passes for various conversations and news reports, because I can instantly compare them to the faith of the gospelHebrews 4:2 "For unto us was the gospel preached, as well as unto them: but the word preached did not profit them, not being mixed with faith in them that heard it." Phillipians 1:27 "Only let your conversation be as it becometh the gospel of Christ: that whether I come and see you, or else be absent, I may hear of your affairs, that ye stand fast in one spirit, with one mind striving together for the faith of the gospel;" re:shane Ok so tell me, in process of studying the words of Jesus, and becoming his disciple, and drawing near to God, and embarking upon this journey of faith, did you ever conclude that the KJV produced the voice of a false shepherd? we can see big differences between just the English versions, effectively authoring confusion and dividing of supposed brethren (though the false productions are no sharper than thorns are compared to a finely crafted two edged sword) |

While I am not opposed to looking into the question of whether the kjv is the only viable version (I am not close of mind), I will say again though for your ears to hear... words in season? I think not. To move the topic to this one from where it was, was not where it should have gone. Isaiah 33 mentioned that the sinners in Zion were afraid: which seems to be a contradiction of terms, though it was not upon Sinai nor Jerusalem, but upon Holy Mount Zion, that if a creature begins to cross onto it, it could be shot through with a dart. Likewise Isaiah 7 mentioned it will come to pass that the Lord will hiss for a mere fly or bee out of place in Egypt and Assyria (for example). Between those extremes, we may lay hold of the fact that anyone studying and certifying (as I do) the KJV proves only that wisdom has been embarked upon (for eating the bread is not the deed of drinking of the cup). Starters unaware, or those who refuse to embark upon wisdom, or those who go after likenesses, but not to the word of the Lord himself, will soon find out where they were being led. If there was nothing else but to show up in D.C. to pray, I also would not know what counsel I would have the nation to follow. |

You claim we are 2 different types in the field. You seem to know. So... i will ask again. Just so I'm clear about your words. Which one am I. No need to be mysterious. You made statement. Make your statement clear. Why sure, I don't mind repeating into your ears for you to consider it again: quoting a corrupted modern version of ancient holy Scriptures shows variety of origin. They might have a "likeness" of one another at any given time prior to harvest, but, one is the good seed, and one is the bad.All that Jesus said applies just as predictably: Matthew 13:15 "For this people's heart is waxed gross, and their ears are dull of hearing, and their eyes they have closed; lest at any time they should see with their eyes, and hear with their ears, and should understand with their heart, and should be converted, and I should heal them." Mark 4:12 "That seeing they may see, and not perceive; and hearing they may hear, and not understand; lest at any time they should be converted, and their sins should be forgiven them." |

I too endorse using only the KJV, and even debated on such with those you are now. I also enjoyed the Biblical illustration shown in Proverbs. However like Shane, I must disagree with your interpretation of the parable of the tares. a tare is a tare: if they offend, and work iniquity, it matters not if they join hard to a church, or are a free floating spirit in the flesh. we may apply the parable first to the Church, hoping to root out the rebels, and also to every faith, or non-faith, as a matter of being wise to the Lord's work. |
