* Does it matter whether the Traditional abbreviations B.C. or A.D.
or the New Age inventions of B.C.E. or C.E. is used to fully describe Calendar dates?
Yes, it does. Significantly. Without question!
B.C. or A.D. are the abbreviations that stand for “Before Christ” and “Anno Domani” [Year of our Lord] A.D. Does NOT mean “After Death” as many erroneously have been taught.
B.C.E. and C.E are New Age inventions that stand for “Before Common Era” and “Common Era”. [These inventions are effort to eliminate the person of Jesus Christ, and to write Him out of History, altogether by not mentioning HIS NAME, at all].

The Lord Jesus *Christ
* [Anointed Messiah]
was supernaturally Fathered by GOD, The Holy Ghost, and was born of a virgin girl, named Mary 2026 years ago in Bethlehem of Judea.
He was crucified and His lifeless body was placed in a tomb and after three days, GOD brought Him back to life from the dead, victorious over sin, death and the grave.
THE LORD JESUS CHRIST is GOD’S INCARNATE WORD [His WORD made flesh] and His EVERLASTING [Once, and For ALL] SACRIFICE for ALL Sin]. HE is The Lamb of God, God’s WORD in Human flesh.] The CHURCH is His Body, the BODY of *CHRIST,
(*The Messiah). The CHURCH is His espoused [Divinely and legally promised (and legally bound) Bride], to whom HE will return and wed [marry].
This singular event, the birth of Jesus Christ, establishes and defines all chronology in all Human History as being either Before or After HIS BIRTH.
John 1:1: 1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and THE WORD WAS GOD. [AS His WORD is ETERNAL and IMMUTABLE it IS and WAS and FOREVER FOR EVER MORE SHALL BE] Jesus Christ is GOD’s [incarnate] WORD, MADE FLESH and is ONE with the FATHER.
I, and my Father are ONE. John 10:30

WHO IS THE GOD OF THE BIBLE?
by David Hocking
WHAT IS THE MEANING OF HIS NAME?
(1 One) His Name is INCOMPREHENSIBLE!
Exodus 3:13-15 “13 And Moses said unto God, Behold, when I come unto the children of Israel, and shall say unto them, The God of your fathers hath sent me unto you; and they shall say to me, What is his name? what shall I say unto them? 14 And God said unto Moses, I AM THAT I AM: and he said, Thus shalt thou say unto the children of Israel, I AM hath sent me unto you. 15 And God said moreover unto Moses, Thus shalt thou say unto the children of Israel, The Lord God of your fathers, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob, hath sent me unto you: this is my name for ever, and this is my memorial unto all generations.”
Isaiah 9:6 For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given:
and the government shall be upon his shoulder:
and his name shall be called Wonderful,
Counsellor, The Mighty God, The Everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace.

The Indestructible Book [GOD’s HOLY WORDS]
By Dr. David Brown
The WORDS of the 1769 Edition of The King James Bible, KJV were, and for all time, Divinely Inspired, Inerrant, Infallible and Providentially Preserved and Protected eternal Words of GOD.
They are God-Breathed, [Spoken] Eternal WORDS of Almighty GOD. The same GOD who calls Himself “I AM” is Omni-Lingual, Omnipotent, Omniscient, Immutable, All-Wise, Omnipresent, Eternally and Supremely Holy. He is the One-and-Only Triune, Three-in-One GOD.
“I and my Father are one”. John 10:30
________________________________
1 John 5:7 This is the fundamental scripture of the essential tenet for the doctrine of the Trinity. [The Triune, [Three-in-One] GOD in-Three Persons (This verse has been omitted or Changed to diminish the authority and works of the Person of the Lord Jesus Christ or has been Removed entirely in Critical Text Translations by apostates that desire an untenable goal to allow a counterfeit scripture to support False Doctrine that gives rise to all manner of Cults, False Doctrines, False Teaching and Heresies brought forward by false Prophets, Agnostics, Gnostics, Atheists or Pagans.
Therefore, The incarnate WORD of GOD, [Jesus *Christ (*The Anointed MESSIAH) and His Father are ONE.] John 10:30
7 For there are three that bear record in heaven, the Father, the Word, [Jesus Christ] and the Holy Ghost: and
these three are one. John 10:30
8 And there are three that bear witness in earth, the Spirit, [Holy Ghost] and the Water [Living Water of the Father], and the Blood; [The Sacrificial Blood of Jesus Christ]: and these three agree in one. 9 If we receive the witness of men, the witness of God is greater: for this is the witness of God which he hath testified of his Son [The Lord Jesus *Christ
(* Anointed Messiah)].
GOD is THE GREAT “I AM” and Jesus Christ is The WORD made Flesh, GOD’s WORD is infinite and endures FOREVER, from Eternity Past through the never-ending,
Eternity Future.

Why Cults, False Teachers and Heretics have tried to delete 1 John 5:7
from the Bible.
By Dr. Phil Stringer
By Dr. Phil Stringer
1 John 5:7 Is The Great Trinitarian Proof Text of The Bible. (For The immutable Doctrine of the Trinity.)
Daniel Webster [Author of the Famous Webster Dictionary] was once asked. “Does it not bother you [Mr. Webster] to believe in the Trinity since you cannot explain it?
His answer was, “What would bother me would be to have a God so small that I could fully explain HIM.”

The Traditional Text: It's History & Manifestation
By Dr. David Sorenson
In addition to evidence of authenticity from the 5,321 Majority Text manuscripts, this link presents Translational Evidence that the Traditional Text is Inerrant, Infallible and is the Inspired [Word-by-Word, GOD-Breathed Greek Text that moved the Prophets and Apostles to write precisely the Greek and Hebrew words they were told to write by the Holy Ghost]
The Traditional Text. Length: (33:56 minutes)
The Traditional Greek Text was printed by Desiderius Erasmus and was used in the FIRST Christian Church at Antioch. It was later called The Received Text [vis. Latin: The Textus Receptus TR].
Over Five Billion King James Bibles [NOT NEW King James Bibles] account for more sales world-wide than any other version or edition of the Holy Bible. This is more than all other Versions and Editions Combined.
______________________________________
By Dr. David Sorenson
So, Dr. Sorenson, “I hear You are King James Only.”
No, I’m Traditional Text only. But if you come to the view and the conviction of being Traditional Text only, you will be Only King James.
The issue is not translational.
Marketing ploys by publishing companies that have little basis in reality would have us to believe that the new versions are:
-
Easier to read.
-
More modern.
-
More accurate (Not true)
The most popular. (KJV is still the most popularly read Bible in America)
The issue comes down to the textual issue. By That, I refer to the underlying Greek text. I guess we could say texts, plural but particularly that of the New Testament. On the one hand is the Traditional Text from which the only major English translation is the King James Version of the Bible. The Traditional Text.
On the other hand, is the Critical Text sometimes called the eclectic text from whence all the other translations come. And some will say well there really is no difference between them. The difference you could amount to is just the footnotes in the bottom of a page. (This is Not true) He was not dishonest but just repeating what someone had told him.

His publications continue to benefit readers with sermons and Rightly Divided biblical teaching from one whose life was poured out like a drink offering to The Lord Jesus Christ, to whom Charlie [Charles Haddon Spurgeon] was a fully devoted follower. His love of Jesus Christ was manifested in a singular love for and a never-ceasing effort toward winning souls from the unsaved multitudes.

BLESS THE LORD, O MY SOUL! Gaither Congregation (Sing with us, won’t you?)
PRAYER 15, April 13th Part 5 of 9 THE PEACE OF GOD.
Take away the heart of stone, take away the frivolities [foolishness], the levity [amusements], the giddiness [silliness] of our youth, and give us in downright earnest to seek true happiness where alone it can be found, in reconciliation to God, and in conformity to His will.
Lord, save the careless, save the sinful, the drunkard, take away from him his cups [drinks]. The unholy and unjust men, deliver these from their filthiness; the dishonest and false, renew them in their lives; and any that are lovers of pleasure, dead while they live, and any that are lovers of self, whose life is bounded by the narrowness of their own being, [may] the Lord, renew them, regenerate them, make them new creatures in Christ Jesus.
For this we do fervently pray. [In the name of Jesus Christ, our Lord, Amen.]

ANECDOTE 251 April 13th : OVERCOMING HINDRANCES.
You remember in John Bunyan’s life he says that one Sunday, when he was playing on the village green at a game of cat, he was just about to strike the cat when a voice came to him from heaven, and said,
“Wilt thou have thy sins and go to hell, or leave thy sins and go to heaven ?”
And he stood there in the midst of his companions and paused, and they could not think what ailed [bothered] the tinker while he was disputing in his mind which it should be,
Christ and heaven, or his [Bunyan's] sins and hell.
Now, whatever your hindrance is, be it money, be it worldly ambition, or be it any fond passion of the flesh whatever it is, give it up.
If it be thy right hand, thou hadst [had] better cut it off, and cast it from thee, [throw it away] than [by] keeping it, seal thine endless doom. If it be thy right eye, twere [it were] better for thee to pluck it out, than having two eyes to be cast into hell fire.
FAITH’S CHECKBOOK April 13th HE REMEMBERS NO MORE
-For I will forgive their iniquity, and I will remember their sin no more- Jeremiah 31:34
-Porque perdonaré la maldad de ellos, y no me acordaré mas de su pecado- Jeremias 31:34
When we know the Lord, we receive the forgiveness of sins. We know Him as the God of Grace, passing by our transgressions [overlooking forgiven sin]. What a joyful discovery is this! But how divinely is this promise worded: the Lord promises no more to remember our sins!
Can God forget?
He says He will, and He means what He says.
He will regard us as though we had never sinned. The great atonement so effectually removed all sin, that it is to the mind of God no more in existence.
The believer is now in Christ Jesus, as accepted as Adam in his innocence; yea, more so, for he wears a divine righteousness, and that of Adam was but human. The Great Lord will not remember our sins so as to punish them, or so as to love us one atom the less because of them.
As a debt, when paid ceases to be a debt, even so doth the Lord make a complete obliteration of the iniquity of His people. When we are mourning over our transgressions and shortcomings, and this is our duty as long as we live, let us at the same time rejoice that they will never be mentioned against us.
This makes us hate sin.
God’s free pardon makes us anxious never again to grieve Him by disobedience.
Prayer: Thank you Lord Jesus that You forgive the iniquity, of those who trust in You, and remember their sin no more. I believe that you are God’s only begotten son, and that You took my place on the cross and became sin to suffer and die as the sacrifice for my sin and the punishment that I deserved. I also believe that God raised You from the dead, to eternal victory over sin, Satan and the grave so that I could be made the righteous of God in You. I thank and celebrate You, for my salvation and for each new birth that takes place in each one who trust in You. I pray in your name, Lord Jesus and for your sake, Amen.

MORNING April 13th "MY HEART IS LIKE WAX; it is melted in the midst of my bowels [pit of my stomach]." -Psalm 22:14
-Mi corazón fué como cera, Desliéndose en medio de mis entrañas. -Salmos 22:14
Our blessed Lord experienced a terrible sinking and melting of soul.
"The spirit of a man will sustain his infirmity, but a wounded spirit who can bear?"
Deep depression of spirit is the most grievous of all trials; all besides [everything else] is as nothing. Well might the suffering *Savior cry to His God,
"Be not far from me,"
for above all other seasons a man needs his God when his heart is melted within him because of heaviness.
Believer, come near the cross this morning, and humbly adore the King of glory as having once been brought far lower, in mental distress and inward anguish, than any one among us; and mark His fitness to become a faithful High Priest, who can be touched with a feeling of our infirmities.
Especially, let those of us whose sadness springs directly from the withdrawal of a present sense of our Father's love, enter into near and intimate communion with Jesus. Let us not give way to despair, since through this dark room the Master has passed before us. Our souls may sometimes long [for] and faint, and thirst even to anguish, to behold the light of the Lord's countenance: at such times let us stay [brace] ourselves with the sweet fact of the sympathy of our great High Priest.
Our drops of sorrow may well be forgotten in the ocean of His griefs; but
how high ought our love to rise!
Come in, O strong and deep love of Jesus, like the sea at the flood in spring tides, cover all my powers, drown all my sins, wash out all my cares, lift up my earth-bound soul, and float it right up to my Lord's feet, and there let me lie, a poor broken shell, washed up by His love, having no virtue or value; and only venturing to whisper to Him that if He will put His ear to me, He will hear within my heart faint echoes of the vast waves of His own love which have brought me where it is my delight to lie,
even at His feet for ever.

EVENING April 13th "THE KING'S GARDEN. " —Nehemiah 3:15
-La huerta del rey, —Nehemías 3:15
MENTION of the king's garden by Nehemiah brings to mind the paradise which the King of kings prepared for Adam. Sin has utterly ruined that fair abode [lovely dwelling place] of all delights, and driven forth the children of men to till [plow] the ground, which now yields thorns and briers.
My soul, remember the fall, for it was your fall. Weep much because the Lord of love was so shamefully ill-treated by the head of the human race, of which you are a member, as undeserving as any. Behold how dragons and demons dwell on this fair earth, which once was a garden of delights.
See yonder, another King's garden, which the King waters with His bloody sweat—
Gethsemane, whose bitter herbs are sweeter far to renewed souls than even Eden's luscious fruits.
There the mischief of the serpent [devil] in the first garden [Eden] was undone. There the curse was lifted from earth, and borne by the woman's promised seed [The Lord Jesus]. My soul, think of the agony and the passion; resort to the garden of the olive-press and view your great Redeemer rescuing you from your lost estate [your depravity].
This is the garden of gardens indeed, wherein the soul may see the guilt of sin and the power of love, two sights which surpass all others.
Is there no other King's garden?
Yes, my heart, you are or should be such.
How do the flowers flourish! Do any choice fruits appear? Does the King walk within and rest in the bowers [shady places] of my spirit? Let me see that the plants are trimmed and watered, and the mischievous foxes hunted [chased] out. Come, Lord, and let the heavenly wind blow at Your coming, that the spices of Your garden may flow abroad.
Nor must I [I must not] forget the King's garden of the church.
0 Lord, send prosperity to it. Rebuild her walls, nourish her plants, ripen her fruits, and from the huge wilderness, reclaim the barren waste, and make thereof
" a King's garden."

A Sinner’s Prayer.
A person may come to Jesus by believing and (whole heartedly) praying like this:
“Lord Jesus, I’m a sinner. I’m lost and hopeless without You. I will never be able to save myself by my own merits. Without you and your death on the cross I would deserve and spend forever in Hell.
I know that me doing my best or being good (in my own opinion) and justifying my own behavior as "good" or "OK" will never save me.
I look to You, alone Lord Jesus to save me.
I come to You right now. Lord Jesus. Please save me. I believe You died on the cross in my place to pay for my sin debt and put to death my sin nature. I know You always keep your word. Please save me. You say and it’s written in the Bible that you won’t reject anyone who comes to You. I'm coming to You now. Thank You for saving me.
I give myself (all of myself) to You, Lord Jesus. I declare that You are my Savior and Lord. I’m sorry for and I turn away from every sin (every bad thought, every bad word I have spoken and every bad thing I have ever done) and look to You free me from the penalty of sin, to keep me free from the power of sin and empower me overcome any temptation from sin’s presence. Thank you for forgiving all of my sins by dying on the cross to pay the punishment that I deserve. (I was a sinner by nature and by behavior). But now I'm washed clean by Your blood that was shed [poured out] for me at Calvary [at the cross].
Thank you Lord Jesus that You loved me and died for me before I was born and that You love me now and will always love me and will never reject or turn your back on me. I know You are the Way, the Truth and the Life and that no one can come to the Father other than by You.
Thank you Father that You have made a way for me to see myself as ungodly. But, because You are good You have made a way and given me the desire to come to You, to turn away from my sin and to trust in the Lord Jesus. You have forgiven me because He took my place and You have provided for me to be born again [born from above, born of the Holy Spirit].
You prompted this desire and faith to believe in Your only begotten Son who,gave up His life and died on the cross to pay my sin debt, not mine alone, but the sins of the whole world.
Thank You, Heavenly Father that you raised Jesus from the dead. He is ALIVE and in Him we are victorious over sin, death and the grave and in Christ Jesus there is no condemnation. After You raised Him from the dead You gave Him a Glorified, [everlasting] physical body and after he was seen by many witnesses on earth You took Him up to reign with You in heaven.
I pray this in the name, of Your only begotten Son, the Lord Jesus Christ with a grateful heart. Thank You for saving me heavenly Father and for sending the Comforter, The Spirit of Truth, for my guidance and solemn instruction into all truth., Amen.”
Thank You Holy Spirit of Truth, The Comforter, The Paraclete [true friend who is by your side and always has your back] for the new life in Jesus and the victory that comes when I recon myself dead indeed unto sin and alive unto God through Christ Jesus our Lord trusting You, Holy Spirit for Your empowerment to see this promise fulfilled. Romans 6:11
Thank you that you, Holy Spirit, always exalt [lift up] the Lord Jesus. John 16:8-11
With all my heart, I thank you Lord Jesus for saving me.
I ask now that You live Your life through me in Your name, Lord Jesus I pray, Amen.

_________________________________________________
Alterations to and alternative readings in Biblical Text were brought about by the Critical Greek Text of Westcott & Hort and was used to translate the: NIV, ESV, RSV and other Modern Language Translations who’s Greek translations came from the Greek Codices Vaticanus and Sinaiticus. 90% is from Vaticanus and 8-9% from Sinaiticus and were the principle Texts used by Westcott and Hort to invent their Critical Greek Text. There are more disagreements than there are agreements between these two Codices of Vaticanus and Sinaiticus. .
From their inferior Greek Text, 17 verses are deleted out of the New Testament in following the Critical Text. 7,000 words in total are deleted.
Codices Sinaiticus and Vaticanus are counterfeits that were overwritten in the 10th 11th and completely overwritten in the 15th centuries. There are more points of disagreement than there are points of agreement between them.
The Geneva Bible was also translated from the Traditional Greek Text, The Textus Receptus [The Received Text] including comments favorable to the Protestant Reformation from, devoted, faithful Christian men of GOD; Puritan Believers whose lives were beyond reproach.
This Bible was brought to Plymouth Massachusetts in the American Colonies by the Puritan Pilgrims guided by Captain Christopher Jones’s on the Mayflower sailing ship in 1620. A 1592 Edition of the Geneva Bible that belonging to a Mayflower passenger and the Governor of the Plymouth Colony (Later to become the State of Massachusetts) by William Bradford and is on display at the Pilgrim Hall Museum in Plymouth, Massachusetts, the oldest continuously operating public museum in the United States.
The traditional Textus Receptus [The Received (Greek) Text] unlike any other Greek Text was taken from more than 5,321 original Majority (Greek Manuscript) Text [MT] that agree 99% with one another. Other variant readings stem from Greek translations invented by either Westcott and Hort or Nestle and Aland. These fabricated Greek Texts were translated from only a handful [45] of Majority Text Manuscripts MT and lack the trustworthiness of the inspired 1769 [1611] King James Version, KJV or the Geneva Bible and are the only two translations of the traditional, reliable, inspired, [GOD BREATHED] immutable and providentially and divinely protected Textus Receptus [TR]
There is also translational evidence from Jerome’s Latin Vulgate that establishes The Traditional Greek Text as both the OLDEST and the BEST. [Unlike the Counterfeit proofs offered with The Critical Test].

Can this Website DAILYSPURGEON be trusted? Is it trustworthy?
Is it of God?
YES, it can! Yes, it is! Here’s why.
1 John 4:1-3
Beloved ones, don’t be believing every spirit [everyone or !everything] you hear but be testing the spirit [voice] whether it is of God: because many false prophets have gone [come] out into the world. Here’s how you know the Spirit of God: Every spirit [voice] that confesses [avows] that Jesus Christ is come [is here] in the flesh, having come[who came] out of God, is of God: and every spirit that confesses not [doesn’t audibly avow] that Jesus Christ is come [is here] in the flesh is not of God: and this is that spirit of antichrist, whereof ye have heard that it should come; and even now already is it in the world.
Therefore I do confess, that Jesus Christ is come [is here] in the flesh.
[All translations of the Bible that use Greek translations other than the Traditional AKA the faithful Textus Receptus do not have the Greek word “ictin”. This word means “is” in English] and its exclusion causes the meaning of its translation, “is here” to change to “has” come.
This mistake is self-evident because non-believers, false prophets, atheists and even heretics can, and frequently do, affirm that Jesus Christ “has come” [in the flesh].
While this is a true statement, taken at face value, the meaning of “has come” is clearly not the same as “is here”. When “has” come is the meaning the test God has given in His Word to discern whether words being analyzed are from the Spirit of God or the spirit of antichrist is made void.
One of the most well documented facts in all human history is that Jesus The Christ [The Anointed Messiah] “has” come in the flesh. However, the essential question is not whether the spirit [a spoken or written word] confesses that Jesus Christ “has come” in the flesh but, whether this confession affirms that Jesus Christ, “is come” [is here], in the flesh.
Please Compare and consider [Meditate upon] this scripture with other related scriptures. Precept upon precept, Line upon line…
Isaiah 28:10-14

Ephesians 5:30-32
For we are members of his body, of his flesh, and of his bones. 31 For this cause shall a man leave his father and mother, and shall be joined unto his wife, and they two shall be one flesh.32 This is a great mystery: but I [The Apostle Paul] speak concerning Christ and the church. [The Church body and Bride of CHRIST]
“I speak concerning Christ and the church.” [the fleshly embodiment, here and now, of the body of Christ]. Because followers of Jesus Christ are members of the incarnate Body of Christ [The Church] I freely affirm and avow that Jesus Christ is hereNot “Has come”] in the flesh.

Which Bible Is The Best? (57 minutes) David Hocking
David’s Summary (8 minutes) The problem behind Bible translations is not English. The issue is what Greek text was being used. I believe the true Author is The Holy Spirit. I believe this is the Word of God… We need to understand that The word of GOD in and of itself is power. Power to change your life and through the work of the Holy Spirit can produce the New Birth. We are born again of an incorruptible seed of the Word of God which liveth and abideth forever.
- David Hocking

THE WORDS of GOD Are :
Immutable, [unchangeable and, incapable of mutation or change]
Inspired, [God breathed, spoken],
Infallible,[Incapable of failing, making a mistake or being wrong]
Inerrant [Without error]
Self-Authenticating [The Bible is considered to be self-authenticating because proponents who believe it to be so know it contains inherent divine qualities—Such qualities are unity, majesty, power, and internal consistency—that reveal its divine origin, that convinces readers of its truth without relying on external historical proof or church testimony.
This concept, championed by the Reformation, know that the Holy Spirit illuminate:
the "heavenliness of its matter," the "efficacy of its doctrine," and the "majesty of its style" within the text itself, allowing God's Word to be received directly, the same way as seeing God's glory in Christ.]
Divinely Protected and Providentially Preserved:
Psalm 12:6-7: 6 The words of the Lord are pure words:
as silver tried in a furnace of earth, purified seven times.
7 Thou shalt keep them [Thy Words] (Note Plural), O Lord, thou shalt preserve them [Thy Words] from this generation for ever. (KJV).
Isaiah 40:8: 8 The grass withereth, [withers] the flower fadeth [fades] :but the word of our God shall stand for ever. (KJV).
Matthew 5:18: 18 For verily I say unto you, Till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law, till all be fulfilled. (KJV).
Matthew 24:35: 35 Heaven and earth shall pass away, but my words shall not pass away. (AKJV).
1 Peter 1:23: 23 being born again, not of corruptible seed, but of incorruptible, by the word of God, which liveth and abideth for ever. (KJV).
1 Peter 1:25: 25 but the word of the Lord endureth for ever. And this is the word which by the gospel is preached unto you. (KJV).
Psalm 119:89: 89 For ever, [sic] O Lord, thy word is settled in heaven, Psalm 119:89). (KJV).
The Authorized King James Version (AKJV) also known as The King James Version, Edition of 1769 (KJV), The Authorized Version (AV) and The Geneva Bible are faithful Translations from the preeminent, [surpassing all others], Traditional Greek Text which predates the name given to the Textus Receptus [The Received Text] TR, and is superior to all modern Critical Text translations rendered from inferiorGreek Sources that include: (Westcott & Hort, Nestle & Aland, and Codices Vaticanus, Sinaiticus and Alexandrus).
John 1:1: 1In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and
the Word was God.
_____________________________________________________
John 1:1-3 1In the beginning was he Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. 2The same was in he beginning with God. 3 all things were made by him; and without him was not anything made that was made.
(KJV) The Authorized Version AV Translation was faithfully translated by fully consecrated, and dedicated men of faith, beyond reproach, preeminent linguists, language scholars who were fully devoted followers of The Lord Jesus Christ. The 1611 King James translation is from the inerrant, inspired and immutable Textus Receptus [Received Text]:
Psalm 119:89 ל (Lamed) For ever, [sic] O Lord, thy word is settled in heaven.
“GOD’S LIVING Word” is The Infinitely Inspired and Ultimate Stare Decisis [The Legal Latin Term that expresses the principle of “Legal Precedence”. It means to stand by things decided, and to uphold all things God-Breathed [Inspired] and therefore eternally, Divinely and immutably decided FOREVER]
4:1 Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try the spirits whether they are of God: because many false prophets are gone out into the world. 2 Hereby know ye the Spirit of God: Every spirit that confesseth [says] that Jesus Christ is come [is here] in the flesh is of God: 3 and every spirit that confesseth not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is not of God: and this is that spirit of antichrist, whereof ye have heard that it should come; and even now already is it in the world.
Therefore, I now confess that “Jesus Christ is here in the flesh.”
[All other English translations of the Bible that use Greek manuscripts other than the Textus Receptus erroneously renders the English translation “Has come”.
This Translation error is because inferior Greek manuscripts do not include the Greek word “ictin” (This is The Greek word for is that is found only in the Majority Text of the Textus Receptus) and therefore the failure to correctly translate “ictin” [Is Here] into English.
The Authorized King James Version AKJV also known as The Authorized Version AV and the Geneva Bible stand alone in making and giving the correct translation: “is here”.
This error: “has come” is self-evident, because non-believers, false prophets and even heretics can, and sometimes will, make the confession that He “has come” in the flesh. This is no surprise because the birth of Jesus Christ is the most well documented fact in all of recorded history. Indeed, it is a true and factual statement that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh. Yet, while this is, a true and factual statement, the meaning in scripture has now been erroneously changed. The new and erroneous meaning is that now even if He “has come” in the flesh the confession that JESUS CHRIST IS HERE IN THE FLESH is impossible for THE SPIRIT OF ANTICHRIST who is the creator of all heresies to confess. Without it, Don’t believe anything that is said or written.
NEITHER does it provide for the test for believers to discern whether a spirit [voice or written words being read or heard] are from God or from the Antichrist. It is true that Jesus Christ “has come” in the flesh, but it’s essential that the confession that Jesus Christ, “IS HERE IN THE FLESH” Be confessed [be spoken].
________________________________________________________
By Reading, comparing and meditating on any specific Scripture together with other relevant Scriptures, God’s Word clarifies and self-authenticates:
Therefore we will read and meditate on:
1 John 4:1-3 with Ephesians 5:30-32
Authorized (King James) Version
1 Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try the spirits whether they are of God: because many false prophets are gone out into the world. 2 Hereby know ye the Spirit of God: Every spirit that confesseth that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is of God: 3 and every spirit that confesseth not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is not of God: and this is that spirit of antichrist, whereof ye have heard that it should come; and even now already is it in the world.
30: for we are members of his [Jesus Christs’] body, of his flesh, and of his bones. 31 For this cause shall a man leave his father and mother, and shall be joined unto his wife, and they two shall be one flesh. 32 This is a great mystery: but I speak concerning Christ and His bride the church.
[We are members of His body, flesh and bones, one flesh with Him, as His bride the church].
He was born of a virgin 2026 years ago, and HE lives today,
and He is soon returning for His bride, The Church.
"And without controversy great is the mystery of godliness:
God was manifest in the flesh, justified in the Spirit,
believed on in the world, received up into glory. "1 Timothy 3:16

Preaching is from The Metropolitan Tabernacle (London) by Pastor, Dr. Peter Masters, Charles Spurgeon other Reformed Preachers are prayerfully selected to focus on \daily devotional topics so that sinners will be saved and believers will be encouraged, challenged and built-up in the Faith of Jesus Christ. We pray that all believers who visit the website will become fully devoted followers of Jesus Christ fully conformed to the image of Jesus Christ, The Messiah.
___________________________________________
It should be the desire of every born-again believer to worship God with all their heart, soul, mind and strength, in Spirit and in truth.
“Study to show yourself approved unto God, a worker that needs not be ashamed, rightly dividing [accurately sharing] the word of truth.” 2 Timothy 2:15
To this end, Heavenly Father, we pray that You will bless all who visit this website and bring many to confess the Lord Jesus Christ as their Savior and Lord. We ask this in Jesus’ name, Amen.
This Website can not replace nor can it be a substitute for the in-person, personal assembling of ourselves together as is the manner of some. Hebrews 10:23-27
Rather, its purpose is to save lost sinners and to teach and encourage believers through God’s Word and prayer to become fully devoted followers of Jesus Christ [The Anointed Messiah] in personal discipleship and worship of the Lord Jesus as we are predestined to be conformed to His very image.
“For whom God did foreknow he did also predestinate to be conformed to the image of his son…” Romans 8:29
We are, instructed in the Word of GOD to assemble, praise and worship God. Thus, we must assemble and worship the Lord Jesus Christ and exhort [encourage] and provoke one another to do good works.
Such worship may take place through, congregational singing of sacred hymns and spiritual songs, reading, preaching and obeying God’s Word, sharing Christian love and fellowship, agreeing together with specific public prayer requests, and reading and exhorting one another in the Word, to provoke one another to love and serve and bear witness with one another in the Holy Ghost.
Warning: Online streaming cannot satisfy personal interaction or the warm fellowship of in-person assemblies of brothers and sisters who are in Christ Jesus. Electronic media cannot substitute for the warm inter-personal love, fellowship, commitment, and compassion, nor does it provide for a kind and comforting touch or embrace of another believer. e.g. Laying on of hands, 1 Timothy 4:14; the right hands of Christian fellowship, Galatians 2:9; or an embrace, Acts 20:1; or greeting with a holy kiss,
We give thanks to the Lord, for the Website DailySpurgeon.com and pray that it will continue to be an instrumentality of The Lord Jesus to build up fully devoted followers of the Lord Jesus Christ [Anointed Messiah] . These followers will be taught to be disciples themselves and will then teach others to be disciples.
We pray that you will also be a radiant messenger of God to share the good news of Jesus Christ with every one, encouraging them to believe in Christ Jesus and to become the very image of Jesus Christ.
This ministry was begun as daily e-mails of Faith’s Checkbook by Charles H. Spurgeon were sent to John -Michael’s son, Jon Edward Riley. Jon shared these messages with others and soon over 300 were added to the mailing list through his witness as he witnessed and shared his testimony with them.
Jon was called home by his loving Father in Heaven on January 16, 2021 leaving a legacy of this Website to minister to all who will benefit in this labor of Love to the glorify God and His Eternal Kingdom. ALL Glory belongs to GOD, alone.
Jon is honored here; giving honor to whom honor is due. Romans 13:7
We pray that many will be born again, challenged, encouraged, and built-up to become fully devoted followers of the Lord Jesus Christ and be conformed to His image; that they might be the firstborn among many brethren. Romans 8:28-29.

Jon loved to say, “I’m a blood-bought, born-again Child of God!” to anyone he happened to meet.
… Jon’s testimony lives on from one who, by grace, through faith was forever accepted in the Beloved; who’s loving ways brought the good news of Jesus to many. and one who is now present with the LORD in glory forever. One who, one day, we’ll reunite..
Jon would sometimes just sing-out some of the following songs on the way to church, or just singing along with the Elvis Gospel CD that was always in our F-150’s CD player while riding with his Dad or, Best of all, when an inspired, spontaneous praise from the Lord would just pop out from his joyful, creative, redeemed and loving heart.
Some of Jon’s Favorites:
I Love You Lord by the Gaither choir
I Love You Lord Universal Music Group
I LOVE You Lord by Jared Reynolds
Where No One Stands Alone Gaither Vocal Band
Lead Me & Rock-a My Soul by Elvis and friends
He Knows Just What I Need by Elvis
How Great Thou Art with Elvis
Lead Me & Rock-a My Soul Elvis and friends
Lead Me, Guide Me by Elvis
It Is No Secret by Elvis written by Stuart Hamblen
The following recordings were discovered several months after Jon was called home on January 16th 2021. It’s such a blessing, to hear Elvis sing the Gospel message in song but it can’t compare with the Glory of being in the presence of the LORD for all eternity.
LIFE by Elvis
*I Can Only Imagine being present with the LORD, or hearing the completed song the Lord completed with Jon when he arrived; a song known only to the Lord, to Jon and the few who heard Jon sing it here. Lyrics remembered from him singing: "See my Jesus, Walkin' on duh Waduh"… an original, inspired song from our beloved Jon, himself a true and renown original.
* Click and sing:
I CAN ONLY IMAGINE with Wynonna Judd.
LOVE WITHOUT END, AMEN (A Father’s Love) by George Strait honoring George H.W. Bush (41st President) A favorite song of the President.
It’s also my sincere message of love to all my children, grand-children and great grand-children and all loved ones.
…Jon would always say “Later”; [as in, see-ya later] instead of “good bye”. It was the only farewell greeting he would ever use when parting company with a friend; and, everyone was Jon’s friend.
… He would never say “good-bye”.
Now, as we remember the sound of him saying “Later”, it rings true in a new and deeper meaning and it brings a joy and comfort to the hearts of those whom he loved so well; those who love him still and will forever more.
… and how much sweeter to us now, are the promises in these two Hymns:
’TILL WE MEET AGAIN. (sing along, won’t you?)
