I am grateful for GOD’S blessing through the assistance of Tom Dioro in establishing Daily Spurgeon.tv. This has greatly enriched the Devotional Content from Charles Haddon Spurgeon and the use of the Authorized King James Bible (1769 edition).

Our prayer is that many will be Born Again and will continue to have the Joy of the Lord and the peace that passes understanding in the continued loving fellowship with one another and the God-kind [Agape] of love that GOD has so generously given to us.

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

Daniel Webster [Writer of the Webster’s Dictionary] was once asked. “Does it not bother you to believe in the Trinity since you cannot explain it?

GOD’S PROVIDENCE
The Apostle Paul’s gratitude for and blessing of the Philippian believers when he was in jail are recorded in Philippians 4:17. He reflected and radiated faith that God would bless with abounding fruit those that were supporting him.
Look at Paul’s words:
…I desire “fruit that may abound to your [their] account.

"For even in Thessaloni'ca [where I was in jail] ye sent once and again unto my necessity. Not because I desire a gift: but I desire fruit that may abound to your account.

But I have all, and abound: I am full, having received of Epaphroditus the things which were sent from you, a sweet fragrance, a sacrifice acceptable, well-pleasing to God. 19 But my God shall supply all your need according to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus.

20 Now unto God and our Father be glory for ever and ever. Amen

But I know that my God shall supply all your need according to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus.

Salute every saint in Christ Jesus. The brethren which are with me greet you. All the saints salute you, chiefly they that are of *Caesar’s household [under Cesar’s authority]. “The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all. Amen.”
* Not only were converts won to Christ Jesus in Caesar's household, but after their conversions they remained there. They did not feel at liberty to abandon their duty posts merely because their surroundings were no longer comfortable. They decided to remain, out of their comfort zone, and to testify of the transforming power of their faith in Jesus Christ. The truth had found them there, and there they would remain, continuing as born-again fully committed followers of Jesus Christ.

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 November 5th *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 and was to be based on the Bishop’s Bible. (This Bible consists of The Old Testament which is meticulously copied from the ancient Hebrew [Masoretic] text. The meticulous work of preserving and copying the ancient Hebrew text was done by the Masorete Scribes and Priests. 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 authoritative and the most quoted, and read Bible version ever. It has circulated over 6 Billion copies. This is more than all the other versions and editions Combined and is the Most Influential, faithful and best Bible ever.

The NEW King James version is inferior to the [OLD 1769] King James Bible because It does not follow the Traditional, Received Greek Text [The Textus Receptus].

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, says: '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 exactly the same 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 translated from the CRITICAL TEXT; An Inferior text cobbled together by self-appointed men, critical of The God-breathed, Inspired Word of God. The Critical Text follows Satan’s questioning words of temptation in the Garden of Eden:
“Hath God Said ?”

Bridge to Babylon The 1881 Textual Criticism Controversy (Click Here)
(169 minutes. Video Documentary)
“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, Inspired, Inerrant, Infallible and Immutable Bible. All Attempts have failed and will continue to do so because GOD Himself providentially preserves and protects His Inspired, Inerrant and Immutable [God Breathed/Spoken] Words from all heresy, blasphemy, confusion, error and misinterpretation .

Over six Billion (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 prayer before every meal, always offered with gravity, reverence and always spoken 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.”

How to Discern between The Holy Ghost and the spirit of the Antichrist of false teachers:

Ask: Is this Website from God?

God says in His WORD to try every spirit to determine whether they are of God, and therefore to be believed or whether they are from the antichrist and must not be believed.

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 [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 does hereby confess that

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

All English Bible versions NOT translated from the Textus Receptus [The (Traditional) Received Text] diminish the person and Gospel of Jesus Christ. Total glory and the most Holy reverence is due to The Almighty GOD. He preserves and protects The immutable 1769 Edition of the 1611 King James Version of The KJV Bible. This version is also known as the Authorized King James Version AKJV and the Authorized Version AV. ALL GLORY is due to and must be given to the Omnipotent, Almighty King of Kings and Lord of Lords.

The Geneva Bible was also faithfully translated from the Greek Textus Receptus and includes commentaries from inspired, devoted, faithful men of GOD; Puritan Brothers beyond reproach.

Only the traditional Textus Receptus [Received Greek Text] was produced from more than 5,321 original Majority Greek Manuscripts MT that agree 99% with one another. All other variant readings are translated from either Westcott and Hort’s or Nestle and Aland’s, Greek Texts fabricated from only a handful [45] of The Majority Text Manuscripts lack the trustworthiness of Fully Devoted Followers and Translators of the inspired 1769 [1611] King James Version, KJV and the Geneva Bible. are the only two translations from the Traditional, Received, Inspired, [GOD BREATHED] immutable [UNCHANGEABLE] and providentially and divinely protected Textus Receptus.

Bridge to Babylon The 1881 Textual Criticism Controversy (Click Here)
(169 Minutes)

Bridge to Babylon presents the history of the explosion of over 100 new English translations or Editions of the Bible. Continuing attempts to replace, add or take away from the 1769 King James Version of the Bible can not prevail because GOD Himself preserves and protects His Inspired, Inerrant, Infallible Holy Word of GOD from all heresy, blasphemy, confusion , errors, additions, subtractions or changes down to the very Jots and Tittles..

________________________________________________

BCE/CE vs. BC/AD What’s the difference?
defend the Truth. Won’t you?

*A.D. does NOT mean “After Death” as many mistakenly believe. It is Latin for Anno Domini, a phrase adopted into English usage that means “Year of [the/our] Lord”. The complete original phrase "anno Domini nostri Jesu Christi" means "in the year of our Lord Jesus Christ”. A.D. is used with B.C. Before Christ to divide all history before and after the birth of Jesus Christ. ...More

Should DAILYSPURGEON be trusted? Is it trustworthy?

Yes! Is it 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.

I hereby confess, audibly, as I write, that Jesus Christ is come [is here] in the flesh.

[All translations of the Bible that use any Greek text other than the traditional and faithful Textus Receptus ignore the Greek word “ictin” [that means“is” in English]. This omission allows the translational error to be change from “is come” [is here] to “has come”.

This error is self-evident because non-believers, false prophets and heretics can, and frequently do, declare that Jesus Christ “has come” [in the flesh]; perhaps the single most documented fact in all of human history

While this is a true statement, at face value, its meaning “has come” clearly does not convey the same meaning as “is here”; the essential to be able to discern whether the spirit is the Spirit of God or that spirit of antichrist.

The most well documented fact in all of human history is that the Lord Jesus Christ [The Messiah] “has come” in the flesh. However, the question of far greater importance, is not whether the spirit [of a word or from a person] being considered and tested confesses that Jesus Christ “has come” in the flesh but, whether the confession being made affirms that Jesus Christ, “is come” [is here], from God, in the flesh.

Ephesians 5:30-32

30 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 body of CHRIST]

Consider [and compare] scripture with scripture: Precept upon precept, Line upon line.

“I speak concerning Christ and the church.” [the fleshly embodiment, here and now , of the body of Christ]. Because fully devoted followers of Jesus Christ are members of the incarnate Body of Christ [The Church]

TODAY’S SERMON: FOR November 5th.
from Spurgeon’s Metropolitan Tabernacle (London U.K.)

OUR THOUGHTS COMPARED WITH GOD’S Isaiah 55:8 with Dr. Peter Masters
God's thoughts are so much higher than ours. He knows everything that happens - past, present and future - all the time, and His plans and intents are holy, perfect, just and fair. Ours are so different. Only God could conceive of a plan of free salvation for us, described here.

OUR THOUGHTS COMPARED WITH GOD’S Isaiah 55:8 with Dr. Peter Masters

PRAISE: November 5th I Know Whom I Have Believed by Marshall Hall…be filled with the Spirit; speaking to yourselves in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making melody [music] in your heart to the Lord; Ephesians 5:18-19

PRAYER 14, Part 6 of 8: November 5th BLESS THE LORD, O MY SOUL!

Once more we pray Thee [to You] bless Thy [Your] Church. Lord quicken [liven, breathe abundant life and enthusiasm into] believers. Thou hast [You have] given to Thy Church great activities, for which we thank Thee [You]. May these activities be supported by a corresponding inner-life [inspired spiritual life]. Let us not get to be busy here and there with Martha, [the “too busy” sister of Lazarus} and forget to sit at Thy [Your] feet with Mary.

Lord, restore to Thy [Your] Church the love of strong doctrine. May Thy [Your] truth yet prevail. Purge out [remove] from among Thy [Your] Church those who would lead others away from the truth as it is in Jesus, and give back the old power and something more. Give us Pentecost. [Supernatural Holy Spirit power as a mighty rushing wind] [We pray this in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ [Messiah, The Anointed King, Amen.]

(Attachment: PRAYER 14.doc)

ANECDOTE 96: November 5th SHAM RELIGION.
It was but a little while ago that I had in my house a gentleman, an excellent man, and I believed a true child of God, who told me he had been brought seriously under impression, [not conviction] on account of sin, through hearing a sermon of late [a recent sermon]. “But,” said he, “I was baptized in my childhood. When I was but young, there was a revival in our village, in New England. Mine was the hardest heart in our village; but I was found out at last. There was scarcely a girl or boy that did not join the church, and I was at last brought under deep impression. I used to weep before God, and pray to him. I went to the minister and told him I was converted, deceived him, and was baptized.” And then he went on to tell me that he had dived into the blackest crimes, and gone far away, even from the profession of religion; that after going to college he had been struck-off the church-roll on account of wickedness, and that up to this time he had been an infidel [non-believer], and had not so much as thought of the things of the kingdom.

Take heed, many of you, that you do not get a sham religion. Many jump into godliness as they would into a bath; but they are very glad to jump out of it again, when they find the world pays them better.

FAITH’S CHECKBOOK November 5th WHAT IS PAINFUL WILL END
by C.H. Spurgeon 1834-1892

-I will not contend for ever, neither will I be always wroth [angry]: for the spirit should fail before me, and the souls which I have made- Isaiah 57:16

-Porque no tengo de contender para siempre, ni para siempre me he de enojar: pues decaería ante mi el espíritu, y las almas que yo he criado- Isaias 57:16

Our heavenly Father seeks our instruction, not our destruction. His contention with us has a kind intention toward us. He will not be always in arms [weaponized] against us. We think the Lord is long in His chastisements, but that is because we are short in our patience. His compassion endureth [endures] forever, but not His contention.

The night may drag its weary length along, but it must in the end give place to cheerful day. As contention is only for a season, so the wrath which leads to it is only for a small moment. The Lord loves His chosen too well to be always angry with them. If He were to deal with us always as He does sometimes we should faint outright, and go down hopelessly to the gates of death.

[Take] Courage, dear heart! the Lord will soon end His chiding [scolding]. Bear up, [take hope] for the Lord will bear [pick] you up, and bear [carry] you through. He who made you knows how frail [weak] you are, and how little you can bear [take]. He will handle tenderly that which He has fashioned so delicately.

Therefore, be not [don’t be] afraid because of the painful present, for it hastens to [become] a happy future. He that smote [struck] you will heal you; His little wrath shall be followed by great mercies.

MORNING November 5th NO WEAPON THAT IS FORMED AGAINST THEE SHALL PROSPER. —Isaiah 54:17

—Toda herramienta que fuere fabricada contra ti, no prosperará— Isaías 54:17

THIS day is notable in English history for two great deliverances wrought by God for us.

On this day in 1605 the plot of the Papists to destroy our Houses of Parliament was discovered.

While for our princes they prepare
In caverns deep a burning snare,
He shot from heaven a piercing ray,
And the dark treachery brought to day.

And secondly, today is the anniversary of the landing of King William III at Torbay in 1688 by which the hope of Popish ascendancy was squashed and religious liberty was secured.

This day ought to be celebrated, not by the saturnalia [festival of Saturn]
of striplings [teenagers], but by the songs of saints. Our Puritan forefathers most devoutly made it a special time of thanksgiving.

There is extant [existing] a record of the annual sermons preached by Matthew Henry on this day. Our Protestant feeling, and our love of liberty, should make us regard its anniversary with holy gratitude. Let our hearts and lips exclaim, “We have heard with our ears, and our fathers have told us the wondrous things which Thou [You] didst in their day, and in the old time before them.” You have made this nation the home of the gospel; and when the foe has risen against her, You have shielded her.

Help us to offer repeated songs for repeated deliverances. Grant us more and more hatred of Antichrist, and hasten-on the day of his entire extinction. Until then and ever, we believe the promise,

“No weapon that is formed against thee shall prosper.”

Should it not be laid on the heart of every lover of the gospel of Jesus on this day to plead for the overturning of false doctrines and the

extension of divine truth?

Would it not be well to search our own hearts and turn out [banish] any of the Popish lumber [pride] of self-righteousness which may lie concealed therein?

John Michael’s Wedding Anniversary: November 5th 1988

The wedding date of November 5th 1988 and blessed marriage of 35 years of John Michael Riley and Bernice Joyce Janidlo is remembered with love and honor in the Lord Jesus.

_____________________________________________

EVENING November 5th "BE THANKFUL UNTO HIM, AND BLESS HIS NAME. "— Psalm 100:4

— Por sus atrios con alabanza: Alabadle, bendecid su nombre— Salmos 100:4

OUR Lord would have all His people rich in high and happy thoughts concerning His blessed person. Jesus is not content that His brethren should think meanly [badly] of Him; it is His pleasure that His espoused ones [believers] should be delighted with His beauty. We are not to regard Him as a bare necessity, like to bread and water, but as a luxurious delicacy, as a rare and ravishing delight.

To this end He has revealed Himself as the "pearl of great price" in its peerless beauty, as the "bundle of myrrh" in its refreshing fragrance, as the "rose of Sharon" in its lasting perfume, as the "lily" in its spotless purity.

As a help to high thoughts of Christ, remember that beyond the skies, where things are measured by the right standard, Christ is held in the highest estimation.

Think how God esteems [treasures] the Only Begotten, His unspeakable gift to us.

Consider what the angels think of Him, as they count it their highest honor to veil their faces at His feet.

Consider what the blood-washed think of Him, as day without night they sing His well-deserved praises. High thoughts of [Jesus] Christ will enable us to act consistently [faithfully] in our relations towards Him. The more loftily we see Christ enthroned and the more lowly we are when bowing before the foot of the throne, the more truly shall we be prepared to act [to do] our part towards Him.

Our Lord Jesus desires us to think well of Him, that we may submit cheerfully to His authority. High thoughts of Him increase our love. Love and esteem go together. Therefore, believer, think much of your Master's excellencies. Study Him in His primeval [original] glory, before He took your nature on Himself!

Think of the mighty love which drew Him from His throne to die on the cross! Admire Him as He conquers all the power of hell! See Him risen, crowned, glorified!

Bow before Him as the Wonderful, the Counselor, the mighty God; for only thus your love to Him be what it should.

A SINNER’S PRAYER November 5th

Whosoever shall call on the name of the Lord shall be saved. Acts 2:21

Pray and call on the name of the Lord Jesus.

Pray like this, won’t you? :

“Lord Jesus, I’m a lost sinner hopeless without You. I would never be able to save myself. Without your death on the cross to pay my sin debt I would be condemned to spend eternity condemned in Hell. By nature and practice I am a natural-born sinner. I’m totally depraved and I sin because I am a sinner. Please forgive me.

I realize that doing my best or being as good as possible, or being better than other people or having good excuses can never save me.
I look to You, alone Lord Jesus to save me.
I call on You, by name, Lord Jesus, right now to save me. You died on the cross in my place to pay for my sin. Your Word says, “It shall come to pass that whosoever shall call on the name of the Lord shall be saved. Acts 2:21. Thank You, Lord.

Right now, I surrender my sinful self to You, just as I am, Lord Jesus. I trust You to forgive me and save me and be my Lord and Savior.
Please forgive me for all my sins. I’m sorry for every sin (bad thoughts, words and things I have done) and look to You to forgive me of them all. I need your strength to overcome sin’s temptations. Thank you for forgiving me.
You paid the price for all of my sins by dying on the cross.

Thank you Lord Jesus that You loved me and died for me before I was born and that You love me still.

Thank you Heavenly Father that You have made the way of redemption, forgiveness and atonement for me and have drawn me away from sin and death into Life in Your only begotten son. He took my place and suffered my punishment.

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 therefore now no condemnation.

Thank You for saving me heavenly Father and for sending the Holy Spirit for my guidance, comfort and solemn instruction into all truth, Amen.”

With all my heart, I thank you Lord Jesus for saving me. In your name, Lord Jesus I pray, Amen.

Please allow us to celebrate your new birth with the angels in heaven who are celebrating right now. Please e-mail or write to: The John Mark Publishing Company, PO BOX 21, San Juan Capistrano, CA 92693, U.S.A. or e-mail:

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.

David Hocking (click here) enlightens us with historical facts that make viewing the case for the OLD KING JAMES VERSION; time well spent.

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
URL:
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.

The Love of God Bill Gaither with Choir

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:

’Till We Meet Again. By Jeremiah Rankin (1880) with Antrim Mennonite Choir

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.”

Psalm 99:3
“Let them praise Thy great and terrible name; for it is Holy.”

Psalm 111:9
“Holy and reverend is His name.”
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 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.

A PRAYER OF GRATITUDE: (Tribute to the BRAVE) by Jon Edward Riley,

(February 12, 1971- January16, 2021)

From an Indigenous, Irish, well beloved All-American son giving a prayer of gratitude to the Lord for a “ Heart of Freedom”

INDIAN SCOUT POST NO 1 Burial grounds at White Shield, North Dakota.

… a compassionate prayer of gratitude, thanking the Lord for the Military Service of Native-American Scouts serving the United States of America. …the land of the free and the home of the Brave.

________________________________________

Jon loved to say, “I’m a blood bought, born-again child of God!” to anyone he happened to meet.

… Jon’s testimony is 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 present with the LORD in glory forever. One with whom we’ll one day meet again.

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.

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.)
