I am so grateful for GOD’S blessing through the assistance of Tom DeOro in bringing Daily Spurgeon.tv to the Internet for the enrichment of DailySpurgeon,com, an internet site that brings Gospel Content from Charles Haddon Spurgeon and supports the continued use of the Immutable Authorized King James Bible (1769 edition). Our prayer is that through this instrumentality many will be Born Again and will continue in the Joy of the Lord, peace that passes understanding, the continued loving fellowship with one another and the God-kind [Agape] of love that GOD has so generously given.

Thank you in the name of The Lord Jesus Christ [Anointed Messiah] for His sake and by His Grace, All Glory to Him.
Your brother in Christ,
John Michael

It was the First Bible to be translated into a language other than Latin that could be understood by the Common people and used of GOD to be the driving force in the PROTESTANT REFORMATION

THE SUPERIORITY OF THE KING JAMES BIBLE

DR. ROBERT G. LEE, former pastor of Bellevue Baptist Church in Memphis Tennessee is recorded here, preaching the remarkably inspired SERMON
“Pay Day Someday” (Click Here) 75 minutes

He preached this message over 1,000 times to over a million people resulting in many being drawn to confess and repent [turn away from] their sins, and to look to Christ Jesus, and Him alone for eternal life, and to confess Him publicly to be their Savior and Lord as they were moved by the Holy Ghost.

Dr. Lee preached from The Formal Equivalent (Literal / word-for-word) Providentially Preserved and Protected, Everlasting WORD of GOD, The 1769 Edition of The Authorized, Authoritative King James Bible: The Inspired [God Breathed], Immutable! [never will be changed], inerrant and Infallible [incapable of error].

DAILY SPURGEON and DEVOTION for October 23rd *A.D. 2026 written and calendared by Charles Spurgeon.

King James the First of England Approved, Authorized, Commissioned and provided the leadership to create a new version of the Bible. This new Bible translation was directed by the King to be based on the existing Bishop’s Bible (The Bishop’s Bible consists of The Old Testament copied from the ancient Hebrew [Masoretic] text. The meticulous work of preserving and copying the ancient Hebrew text was done by the faithful Masoretes. Their core mission was to safeguard the original Hebrew Scriptures [The Tanakh / Old Testament] so that its meaning, pronunciation and accuracy would never be lost.

The Priest / Scribe ultimate biblical model for this role is Ezra 7:12 “Ezra the Priest, the scribe of the law”.

The Traditional [original, Received Greek Text] The Textus Receptus is the Master text from which the King James translation of the New Testament is taken. The King James Version of 1769 is Providentially preserved and protected and is the most authoritative and most quoted, and most read Bible version ever. It has circulated over 6 Billion copies. This is more than all the other versions and editions Combined and has become the Most Influential, faithful and best Bible ever.

The NEW King James version is inferior to the [OLD 1769] King James.

THE TESTIMONY OF CHARLES SPURGEON'S CONVERSION IN HIS OWN WORDS. (Click here)
______________________________________________

—*A.D. does NOT mean “After Death”.
Rather, it abbreviates Anno Domini;
… a Latin phrase adopted into English that means:
“Year of our Lord."
________________________________________________

Does BC/AD versus BCE/CE really matter? …YES. IT DOES!
Defend the Truth. Stand against the attempt to mislead, Won’t you? ...More
The new terms are meaningless because BCE and CE still denote the exact number of years in relationship to the birth in Bethlehem of Jesus Christ [The Anointed Messiah].

Dr. Michael Nazir-Ali, the former Bishop of Rochester, said: 'This amounts to the dumbing down of the Christian basis of our culture, language and history. These changes are unnecessary and they don't achieve the BBC’s objective [of wiping out any mention of or reference to Jesus Christ, His birth or His life]. ’

'Whether you use “Common Era, CE” or “Anno Domini, AD”, the date is actually still exact same same for both and the reference point is still the birth of [Jesus] Christ.

DR. DOUG LEVESQUE presents a Historical account to show why we should not rely on the more than 1,100 dumbed- down English translations from the CRITICAL TEXT. An Inferior text that was cobbled together by self-appointed men following Satan’s questioning words in the Garden of Eden to Eve in the Garden of Eden,
“Hath God Said ?”

Bridge to Babylon The 1881 Textual Criticism Controversy (Click Here)
(169 minutes. Video)[jM1]

“Bridge to Babylon” is an exceptionally thoughtful Treatise of the explosion of over 1,100 English translations of the Bible. An expose of the continuous attempts to replace the Traditional 1769 King James Version of God’s Holy, Inerrant, Infallible and Immutable Bible. All Attempts fail because GOD Himself providentially preserves and protects His Inspired [God Breathed/Spoken] Words from all heresy, blasphemy, confusion, error and misinterpretation .

Over six Billion extant (1769) King James Bibles establish it as the most widely printed, read and distributed book in human history. This is more than all other translations put together and it continues to be the most quoted and most read Bible ever.

Scroll to bottom of p. 28 for “ 19 EPISODES” of THE PILGRIM’S PROGRESS written in 1678 and is second only to the Bible as the all-time most widely printed and distributed book ever. It has never been out of print.

A Memorial Honoring the Memory of John Michael’s *Dad:

The last words, spoken by John Michael’s beloved Daddy.

*Charles Dumah Riley, Sr. (AKA: Daddy, "CD", and Paw Paw) 1897 – 1987

JM witnessed the last few hours of his *Daddy’s life on earth coming to an end and heard him say only “Amen” over and over, in the belief that he was affirming and agreeing with God’s will in the conclusion of his own life’s and giving a testimony of God’s goodness to him and his agreement and his surrender to his earthly departure to be eternally present with the Lord Jesus.

Amen... Amen… and Amen!

My Daddy’s standard prayer before every meal, was always offered with all gravity, reverence and always heard in the unique sound of his deep Bass prayer voice:

“Accept our thanks for these and all other blessings, we humbly ask in Thy name, Amen.”

Discerning between The Holy Ghost and the spirit of false teachers / the Antichrist:

Is this Website from God and therefore trustworthy?

God says in His WORD to try every spirit to discern [determine] whether they are of God, and therefore whether they should be believed or not.

1 John 4:1-3

Chapter 4
1Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try [test] the spirits whether they are of God, because many false prophets are gone out into the world. 2 Hereby know ye [by this you all [will] know the Spirit of God: Every spirit that confesseth [confesses] that Jesus Christ is come [is here] in the flesh is of God: 3 and every spirit that confesseth not [doesn’t confess] that Jesus Christ is come [is here] in the flesh is not of God: and this is that spirit of antichrist, whereof [of which] ye [you all] have heard that it should come; and even now already is it in the world.

Therefore, Daily Spurgeon’s Website must hereby confess that

"Jesus Christ is come [is here] in the flesh!” as the Body, The Bride of Christ; of His Church.

2 Timothy 2:15 …in Jesus Christ’s name, Amen.

Loving and worshiping God with all our heart, soul, mind and strength in Spirit and in truth is our labor of love and the duty of every believer. This heart’s desire will grow stronger as we give ourselves to prayer, reading and meditating on God’s Word, gathering ourselves together to hear Gospel preaching, and singing Psalms, sacred hymns and spiritual songs.

A SINNER’S PRAYER

TODAY’S DEVOTION Written and calendared by Charles Spurgeon for today’s date

PRAYER 13, Part 6 of 11
THE WINGS OF PRAYER.

May experience teach us more and more how to avoid occasions of sin. May we grow more watchful; may we have a greater supremacy over our own spirit; may we be able to control ourselves under all circumstances, and so act that if the Master were to come at any moment, we should not be ashamed to give our account into His hands. Lord, we are not what we want to be. This is our sorrow. Oh! that Thou wouldest, [would] by Thy Spirit, help us in the walks of life to adorn [exalt] the doctrine of God our Savior in all things.

[In the name of the Lord Jesus Christ Amen.]

(Attachment: PRAYER 13.doc)

ANECDOTE 85: October 25th IMMEDIATE HEALING.

We love the physician who heals speedily. If you find a skillful physician who can heal you of a sad disease even in years, you go to him, and are thankful. But suppose some wondrous man who with a touch could heal you, who with the very glance of his eyes could make you well at once, and stanch that blood [bleeding] or stop that disease, or turn aside that evil thing and make you well, would you not go to him, and feel that he was a great physician indeed?

So [it is] with [Jesus] Christ. There shall be a man standing there with all his sins upon his head, and he may yet go down these stairs just [justified], complete in [Jesus] Christ, without a sin, freed from its damning power, delivered from all his guilt and iniquity, in one single instant!

It is a marvelous thing, beyond our power and comprehension. It is done in an instant. God stamps [seals] it; the man is pardoned. He goes away in that same instant justified, as the publican did when he said,

“ Lord, have mercy upon me, a sinner,”

And then received the mercy for which he sued [requested].

FAITH’S CHECKBOOK October 25th GOD FIRST, THEN EXTRAS C.H. Spurgeon 1834-1892

-But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you -Matthew 6:33

-Mas buscad primeramente el reino de Dios y su justicia, y todas estas cosas os serán anadidas- Mateo 6:33

See how the Bible begins: -In the beginning GOD.- Let your life open in the same way. Seek with your whole soul, first and foremost, the kingdom of God, as the place of your citizenship, and His righteousness as the character of your life. As for the rest, it will come from the Lord Himself without your being anxious concerning it. All that is needful for this life and godliness -shall be added unto you.- What a promise this is!

Food, raiment [clothing], home, and so forth, God undertakes to add to you while you seek Him.

[Because] You mind His business, and He will mind yours.

If you want paper and string, you get them [thrown in with no additional charge] when you buy more important goods; and just so all that we need of earthly things we shall have thrown in [joined together] with the kingdom. He who is an heir of salvation shall not die of starvation; and he who clothes his soul with the righteousness of God cannot [will not] be left of the Lord with a naked body.

Away with carking [complaining] care. Set all your mind upon seeking the Lord. Covetousness is poverty, and anxiety is misery: trust in God is an estate, and likeness to God is a heavenly inheritance. Lord, I seek thee, be found of me.

Prayer: Thank You Lord that all that is needful for this life and godliness -shall be added unto me as I seek first the Kingdom of God and His righteousness. I have this promise, in You, [alone] Lord Jesus, Amen.

vis. The Textus Receptus TR [Received Text] is faithfully rendered and in substantial agreement with the overwhelming majority of 5,321 extant Greek manuscripts of the New Testament known as the MT. [Majority Text] from which the Textus Recptus was compiled. The Hebrew manuscripts were meticulously copied by hand [manuscript] by the Masoretic scribes of the Old Testament. Sinaiticus and Vaticanus codices are inferior as they are found to be in disagreement with one another. They have been combined with invented Greek source texts.

A mere Fifty-five 55 manuscripts from the 5,321 were hand-picked from the compromised codices containing multiple variant readings set forth in modern textual criticism ostensibly to explain the need for an alternative Greek text from the Textus Receptus that was for many years targeted by Westcott & Hort and Nestle & Aland who invented but did not disclose themselves to be the source of their new Greek translation. They insisted on a code of silence as to the authorship of the Greek Text from which all the Revisions were to be made from all members of the committee who were making the 1881 revisions RV to the King James Bible.

Modern textual criticism is based on the false presupposition that older manuscripts are, de-facto, better. Actually, the continuous unsettled changes from the variant readings reflect doctrinal ambiguities and are used to bolster doctrine that is unsupported by scripture; secular or denominational traditions or blasphemous translations to diminish God’s Sovereignty, Omnipotence, Omnipresence, Immutability, Inerrancy or Infallibility and to rob Glory from His infinite and everlasting “I AM” that is deserves ALL THE GLORY.

MORNING October 25th

"For the truth's sake, which dwelleth [lives] in us, and shall be with us for ever. "— 2 John 1:2
—Por la verdad que está en nosotros, y sera perpetuamente con nosotros—2 Juan 1:2

ONCE let the truth of God obtain an entrance into the human heart and subdues the whole man unto itself, no power human or infernal [hellish] can dislodge it [put it away]. We entertain it not as a guest but as the master of the house.

This is a Christian necessity; he is no Christian who doth [does] not thus believe. Those who feel the vital power of the gospel [of Jesus Christ], and know the might of the Holy Ghost as He opens, applies, and seals the Lord's Word would sooner be torn to pieces than be rent [torn] away from the gospel of their salvation. What a thousand mercies are wrapped up in the assurance that the truth will be with us forever; it will be our living support, our dying comfort, our rising song, our eternal glory.

This is Christian privilege and without it our faith would be of little worth. Some truths we outgrow and leave behind, for they are but rudiments and lessons for beginners, but we cannot thus deal with Divine truth, for though it is sweet food for babes, it is in the highest sense strong meat for men.

The truth that we are sinners is painfully with us to humble and make us watchful; the more blessed truth that whosoever believes on the Lord Jesus shall be saved, abides with us as our hope and joy.

Experience, so far from [contrary to] loosening our hold of the doctrines [teachings] of grace, has knit us to them more and more firmly; our grounds and motives for believing are now more strong, more numerous than ever, and we have reason to expect that it will be so until in death we clasp [embrace] the Savior in our arms.

Wherever this abiding love of truth can be discovered, we are bound to exercise our love. No narrow circle can contain our gracious sympathies, [as] wide as the election of grace must be our communion of heart [heart-felt love]. Much of error may be mingled with truth received. Let us war with the error but still love the brother for the measure of truth we see in Him; above all let us love and spread the truth [of Christ’s Gospel] ourselves.

EVENING October 25th

"SHE GLEANED IN THE FIELD AFTER THE REAPERS: AND HER HAP WAS TO LIGHT ON A PART OF THE FIELD BELONGING UNTO BOAZ, WHO WASOF THE KINDRED OF ELIMELECH. " — Ruth 2:3

—Espigó en el campo en pos de los segadores: y aconteció por ventura, que la suerte del campo era de Booz, el cual era de la parentela de Elimelech— Rut 2:3.

HER hap [good fortune] was. Yes, it seemed nothing but an accidental happenstance, but how divinely was it planned! Ruth had gone forth with her mother's blessing under the care of her mother's God to [an] humble but honorable toil, and the providence of God was guiding her every step.

Little did she know that amid the sheaves [stacks of grain] she would find a husband, that he would make her the joint owner of all those broad acres, and that she, a poor foreigner, would become one of the pro-genitors [in the ancestral linage] of the great Messiah.

God is very good to those who trust in Him and often surprises them with unlooked for blessings. Little do we know what may happen to us tomorrow, but this sweet fact may cheer us, that no good thing shall be withheld.

Chance [Luck] is banished from the faith of Christians, for they see the hand of God in everything. The trivial events of today or tomorrow may involve consequences of the highest importance. 0 Lord, deal as graciously with Your servants [of today] as You did with Ruth.

How blessed would it be, if, in wandering in the field of meditation tonight, our "hap" should be to "light" [land] on the place where our next Kinsman [next-of-kin] will reveal Himself to us! 0 Spirit of God, guide us to Him. We would sooner glean [gather picked-over grain] in His field than bear [carry] away the whole harvest from any other.

0h, for the footsteps of His flock, that may conduct us to the green pastures where He dwells! This is a weary world when Jesus is away—we could better do without sun and moon than without Him—but how divinely fair [lovely] all things become in the glory of His presence!

Our souls know the virtue that dwells in Jesus and can never be content without Him. We will wait in prayer this night until our "hap" [good fortune] shall be to light [land] on a part of the field belonging to Jesus wherein

He will manifest Himself to us.

A SINNERS PRAYER October 25th
Come to Jesus by believing and (whole heartedly) praying a prayer like this:

“Lord Jesus, I’m a sinner. I’m lost and hopeless without You. I will never be able to save myself. Without You and your death on the cross I would spend eternity in Hell when I die.

I know that by doing my best or being good or 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 to take my place and to put my sin nature to death. I know You always keep your word. Please save me. You say that you won’t reject anyone who comes to You. I'm coming to You now. Thank You for saving me.

I give myself to You, Lord Jesus. I declare that You are my Savior and Lord. Please forgive me for all my sins. I’m sorry for every sin (bad thoughts, bad words and bad things I have done) and look to You to free me from the guilt and penalty of them, 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 and paying for my punishment. By nature and heritage I am a sinner, but now I'm clean by Your blood that you bled for me at Calvary [on 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.

Thank you Heavenly Father that You let me see myself as the sinner that I am. But, because You are good You have made a way I can be forgiven and have even given me the desire to come to You, turning away from my sin and to trusting in the Lord Jesus. You have forgiven me because He took my place and You have made it possible for me to be born again [from above].

You gave Your only begotten Son to, give up His life and die on the cross to pay my sin debt. Not just 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. 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 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 Holy Spirit, the Comforter, the Spirit of Truth, for my guidance and solemn instruction into all truth., Amen.”

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.

Sing: This Little Light of Mine Children’s Chorus by JAMJAR Sing-along won’t you? This PRAISE music came to mind from today’s ANECDOTE.

Better [to] have two lights than only one. The light of creation is a bright light. God may be seen in the stars; his name is written in gilt letters on the brow of night; you may discover his glory in the ocean waves, yea, in the trees of the field; but it is better to read it in two books than in one.

You will find it here [in the Bible] more clearly revealed; for he has written this book himself, and he has given you the key to understand it, through the Holy Spirit. Ah, beloved, let us thank God for this Bible; let us love it; let us count it more precious than much fine gold.

[The Authorized immutable King James Version, (AKJV) used by Charles Spurgeon is
God’s preserved, and protected inerrant and immutable Word.

David Hocking makes the case for the Protected translation of the Bible, and points out the textual errors of “Critical Text” and the erroneous Theory followed by all modern English translations due to Westcott and Hort’s inferior Greek Translation of the New Testament. Text that follows incomplete and conflicting Greek manuscripts rather than the coherent and reliable Traditional Text [Received Text (Textus Receptus)] for the New Testament and the Masoretic Hebrew Text for the New and Old Testament respectively of the Authorized King James Bible.

“The Bible, The Whole Bible and Nothing but the Bible” is an expression David Hocking expresses often.

TODAY’S SERMON:
Behold Your God Isaiah 40:9 with Dr. Peter Masters

https://metropolitantabernacle.org/sermons-online/behold-your-god/

Our society today knows so little about almighty God, having willfully shut Him out of all consideration. But look, says the Bible, at His attributes, ways and plans. Consider the uniqueness of God and compare His actions, plans and promises with those of human society.

I Love You Lord by Jared Reynolds
In loving memory of Jon Edward Riley (1971-2021) who would sometimes just bust-out singing this beautiful praise; often, on the way to church with his Dad.

…“Later” [see-ya later] was how he always said farewell … he would never say “good-bye”. Remembering how Jon always said “Later” brings a special joy to those he loved so well. … and brings to mind the promise of the song:

Amen.

FEATURED SERMON:

From The Metropolitan Tabernacle (C.H. Spurgeon 1834-1892)
Duty and Fruits of Brotherly Love 1 John 4:7 with Dr. Peter Masters

From the warning against false teachers, the apostle turns again to the great duty of love to fellow believers, providing fourteen compelling reasons (with benefits) for honoring this obligation. Here love is defined, its actions and activities listed, and the reasons surveyed.

Do Muslims and Christians Worship the Same God? NO! (Click HERE to find out why.)

The natural will is cold, hard iron, which cannot be hammered into form, but the renewed will, like molten metal, is soon molded by the hand of [God’s] grace. In the fleshy heart there is a tenderness of the affections.

The hard heart does not love the Redeemer, but the renewed heart burns with affection towards Him. The hard heart is selfish and coldly demands, "Why should I weep for sin? Why should I love the Lord?"

But the heart of flesh says;
"Lord, You know that I love You; help me to love You more!"

Many are the privileges of this renewed heart; " 'Tis [It is] here the [Holy] Spirit dwells, 'tis here that Jesus rests. " It is fitted to receive every spiritual blessing, and every blessing comes to it. It is prepared to yield every heavenly fruit to the honor and praise of God, and therefore the Lord delights in it.

A tender heart is the best defense against sin, and the best preparation for heaven. A renewed heart stands on its watchtower [on guard] looking for the coming of the Lord Jesus.

Have you [Do you have] this heart of flesh?

[Pray and Ask for it now, won’t you?]

THE INFERIOR CRITICAL TEXT:

The Incomplete and unsealed codices of Sinaiticus and Vaticanus do not pretend to be majority texts, [Original Masoretic Hebrew and the Greek Textus Receptus]. Sinaiticus and Vaticanus present variant, ambiguous and erroneous readings rather than that of the well-established and settled texts. They disagree often with one another as well as with the settled majority texts. Thus, an attempt to create a pretext that will continue to justify a never-ending demand for additional editions and interpretations. These unsettled differences and bias in certain sectarian doctrine [dogma] have led to the production of multiple “modern” editions with ambiguities, many variant readings and confusion from the explosion of unending, new editions.

Profit-driven publishers have embraced such an economic windfall to sell a continual flow of “new and better” English edition of The Bible. They give too little attention to the fidelity and accuracy already settled [in heaven] in majority manuscripts of the Masoretic Hebrew and the Greek Textus Receptus.

Psalm 119:89-90

ל Lamed

89 Forever, O LORD, thy word is settled in heaven.

90 Thy faithfulness is unto all generations:

thou hast established the earth, and it abideth [abides].

God, Himself, providentially protects and preserves His Word. His Word is the God-breathed, self-authenticating, immutable [unchanging and unchangeable], eternal, inerrant, infallible, infinite and all-powerful Word, settled in heaven. GOD is not the author of confusion.

1 Corinthians 14:33

WHO IS THE GOD OF THE BIBLE?
by David Hocking

WHAT ARE HIS NAMES?

(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.

Psalm 139:6

Authorized (King James) Version

6 Such knowledge is too wonderful for me;
it is high, I cannot attain unto it.”

(2 Two) His Name is INFINITE!

Psalm 145:1-3
1 I will extol thee, my God, O king;
and I will bless thy name for ever and ever.
2 Every day will I bless thee;
and I will praise thy name for ever and ever.

3 Great is the Lord, and greatly to be praised;
and his greatness is unsearchable.

Romans 11:33
33 O the depth of the riches both of the wisdom and knowledge of God! how unsearchable are his judgments, and his ways past finding out!

(3 Three) His Name is INCORRUPTABLE!

(two issues: holy and eternal)

Psalm 72:17
“His name shall be continued as long as the sun: and men shall be blessed in Him: all nations shall call Him blessed.”

“Let them praise Thy great and terrible name; for it is Holy.”

Psalm 111:9

Psalm 135:13
Thy Name, O LORD endureth for ever; and Thy memorial, O LORD, throughout all generations.”
Psalm 145:21
“Let all flesh bless His holy Name for ever and ever.”

(4 Four) His name is IMMUTABLE! [Unchanged and unchangeable]

Malachi 3:6
“For I am the LORD, I change not.”

Hebrews 6:18
That by two immutable things, in which it was impossible for God to lie, we might have (1) a strong consolation, who have fled for refuge to lay hold upon (2) the hope set before us.”

(5 Five) His name is INCOMPARABLE! [Without Equal]

Deuteronomy 4:35
“Unto thee it was shewed, that thou mightiest know that the LORD He is God; there is none else beside Him.”

Deuteronomy 4:39
Know therefore this day, and consider it in thine heart, that the Lord he is God in heaven above, and upon the earth beneath: there is none else.

(6 Six) His Name is INDESCRIBABLE! [No description adequately describes HIM]

El, Eloah, Elyon, Elohim, Adon, Adonai, - Yah, Yahveh
(The Names for GOD used 10,952 times in the Bible!)
____________________________________

To Abraham – His Name is El Shaddai [God Almighty, Abundant Provider, Provider of More than Enough]

Genesis17:1 ,
And when Abram was ninety and nine (99) years old, the Lord appeared to Abram, and said unto him, I Am, the Almighty God; walk before me, and be thou perfect.

Why Cults, False Teachers and Heretics have tried to delete 1 John 5:7

Why The Traditional Greek Text Also Known As The Received Text [Latin: Textus Receptus] TR is Inspired, Inerrant and Immutable.

By Dr. David Sorenson

In addition to overwhelming evidence of authenticity from the 5,321 Majority Text Greek manuscripts, this link gives Translational Evidence that proves the age of the Textus Receptus to be older than the Codices Sinaiticus, Vaticanus and Alexandrus.
(Inferior Greek sources used in Critical Text translations.)

This includes Westcott and Hort, Nestle and Aland and the Codices Sinaiticus and *Vaticanus.

*The final Greek Text so deemed, authorized and sanctioned by the Catholic Church and The Vatican.

The Lord Jesus *Christ [The*Anointed Messiah]

was supernaturally Fathered by the Holy Ghost, and born of a teen-aged virgin girl named Mary 2026 years ago in Bethlehem of Judea.

He was crucified, and His lifeless body was placed in a tomb. After three days, GOD brought Him back to life again, and raised HIM from the dead victorious over sin, death and the grave.

He is GOD’S Incarnate WORD and Everlasting SACRIFICE, The LAMB of GOD, [THE WORD of GOD made flesh.] The CHURCH is the BODY of *Christ,
*[The MESSIAH.]

[The CHURCH] is His espoused [Legally Obligated] Bride, for whom HE will come again to consummate the Marriage in the Marriage Supper of the Lamb in the Preserved and Protected Words of GOD.
These WORDS are God-Breathed, [Spoken] Eternal WORDS spoken by 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 Is the fundamental scriptural basis for the doctrine and essential tenet of the Trinity. [The Triune, [Three-in-One] GOD in-Three Persons (This verse has been omitted or Changed to diminish the authority and the Person of the Lord Jesus Christ or has been Removed entirely from all Critical Text translations by apostates that hold to the untenable goal of False Doctrine that gives rise to all manner of Cults, False Teaching, Heresies, false Prophets, Agnostics, Gnostics, Atheists and 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 [Life 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
*(The Anointed Messiah)].

GOD calls Himself “I AM” and Jesus Christ is The WORD made Flesh, GOD’s WORD is infinite and will endure FOREVER, from Eternity Past through the never-ending Eternal Future.

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, not written 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 (1769 Edition) Bibles, [NOT the NEW King James Version which is based on the inferior Critical Greek Text] account for more sales world-wide than all other version or edition of the Holy Bible combined.

This is more than all other Bible Versions and Editions put-together.
______________________________________

The Critical Text vs. The Traditional Text
(Also Known As The Received Text , The Textus Receptus TR , and The Authorised Version AV and AKJV)

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 with little basis in reality would have us to believe that the new versions are:

Easier to read.
More modern.
More accurate (Not true)

The truth is that the KJV remains The most popular. (is still the most popularly read Bible in America). Over five billion copies of the King James (1769) is greater than all the other versions and editions combined.

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.

Amen.

Jon would sometimes just sing-out some of the following songs on the way to church, or sometimes 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 and loving heart.

The Life of King James (Click Here forText)

ORIGINAL SACRED LITERATURE:
The Pilgrim’s Progress, by John Bunyan

Beginning at its original publication in 1678 it has NEVER been out of print.

"All the flowers in God's garden are double." There is no single mercy. You may think you have but one mercy, but you shall find it to be a whole cluster of mercies. It is abounding mercy. Millions have received it, yet far from its being exhausted, it is as fresh, as full, and as free as ever.

It is unfailing mercy. It will never leave you. If mercy is your friend, mercy will be with you in temptation to keep you from yielding; with you in trouble to prevent you from sinking; with you [in] living to be the light and life of your countenance; and with you [in] dying to be the joy of your soul when earthly comfort is ebbing fast [slipping away].

You may want to read the daily selections as a bed time story for you and your little ones. .

It’s the world’s most famous allegory and is the all-time, world-wide best seller second only to the Bible. Some believe it to be the world’s first novel written in English.

It will bless, encourage and instruct pilgrims (readers and seekers) of all ages for a life-time.

My Lord “Will-be-will” [Mr. Self-will] is a great blusterer, [one who roars loudly with empty threats, menaces or protests] and it is hard to subject him to God's will; but when the heart of flesh is given, the will quivers like an aspen leaf in every breath of heaven, and bows like a willow in every breeze of God's Spirit.

Mr. Self-will is a personification in The Pilgrim’s Progress

(The world’s most widely read and most famous Allegory written by John Bunyan in 1678 and has NEVER been out of print.)
