DAILY SPURGEON and DEVOTION for October 14th *A.D. 2026 written and calendared by Charles Spurgeon.

King James the First of England Approved, Authorized, Commissioned and provided guidance for a new version of the Bible based upon the Bishop’s Bible (In which The Old Testament was translated from the original Hebrew and copied by hand [manuscript] by the Masorete Scribes. The Traditional [original, Received Greek Text] Text was followed in the translation of the New Testament. The King James Version of 1769 is Providentially preserved and protected and is the world’s most authoritative and most quoted, and most read Bible version ever with over 6 Billion extant copies. This is more than all the other versions and editions Combined and has become the Most Influential, faithful and best Bible ever.

Posted on 10/14/2026:

Dr. Jeff Riddle makes a Case for the Providential Preservation of GOD’S WORD based upon the Traditional Text, also known as The Received Text, [The Textus Receptus, TR].

______________________________________________

—*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 the Historical account revealing why we should not rely on more than 1,100 dumbed- down English translations from the Inferior CRITICAL TEXT cobbled together by self appointed men who follow the enemy’s critical words in Genesis, “Hath God Said?”

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

“Bridge to Babylon” is a very thorough video Treatise of the explosion of over 1,000 English translations of the Bible. An expose of the continuous attempts to replace the Traditional [Old, NOT New] 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 (OLD 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.

A Memorial to John Michael’s *Dad:

The last words, spoken by John Michael’s beloved Daddy just before he (his Dad) was called home to be forever with the LORD.

*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.”

How we can Discern between God’s Holy Ghost, Divine Spirit and the spirit of false teachers and 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 and obeyed 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.

A SINNER’S PRAYER October 14th

PRAYER 12. Part 5 of 10 October 14th ON HOLY GROUND.

[Our Father] We do, with all our hearts, pray “Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done on earth, as it is in heaven.” Lord, help us to do Thy will. Take the crippled [fallen] kingdom of our manhood [human nature] and reign Thou [You reign] over it. Let spirit and body be consecrated to [Thee] God. May there be no reserves [set asides]; may everything be given up to Thee [You]. Reign forever! Pierced King, despised and nailed to a tree, sit Thou [Yourself] on the glorious high throne in our hearts, and may our lives prove that Thou art [You are] Lord over us; by our every thought and desire, and imagination, and word, and act, in every respect being under Thy [Your] divine control.

[I pray in the name of Your only begotten son, the Lord Jesus Christ], Amen.
(Attachment: PRAYER 12.doc)

ANECDOTE 74: October 14th CHRIST, THE DOOR.

I read a story the other day of some Russians crossing wide plains studded over here and there with forests. The villages were ten or a dozen miles from each other, the wolves were out, the horses were rushing forward madly, the travelers could hear the baying [howling] of the wolves behind them; and, although the horses tore along with all speed, yet the wolves were fast behind, and they only escaped, as we say, “by the skin of their teeth,” managing just to get inside some hut that stood in the road, and to shut-to the door. Then they could hear the wolves leap on the roof; they could hear them dash against the sides of the hut; they could hear them gnawing at the door, and howling, and making all sorts of dismal noises; but the travelers were safe, because they had entered in by the door, and the door was shut.

Now, when a man is in Christ, he can hear, as it were, the devils howling like wolves, all fierce and hungry for him ; and his own sins, like wolves are seeking to drag him down to destruction. But he has got [entered] into Christ, and that is such a shelter that all the devils in the world, if they were to come at once, could not start [break] a single beam of that eternal refuge: it must stand fast, although the earth and heaven should pass away. Now, to every man and woman, [Jesus] Christ says that if they have entered in by the door, [by faith in Jesus Christ] they shall be saved.

FAITH’S CHECKBOOK October 14th NEVER ASHAMED

By C.H. Spurgeon 1834 to 1892

…WHOSOEVER THEREFORE SHALL CONFESS ME BEFORE MEN, HIM WILL I CONFESS ALSO BEFORE MY FATHER WHICH IS IN HEAVEN…Matthew 10:32

-Cualquiera pues que me confesare delante de los hombres, le confesare yo tambien delante de mi Padre que esta en los cielos- Mateo 10:32

Gracious promise! It is a great Joy to me to confess my Lord. Whatever my faults may be, I am not ashamed of Jesus, nor do I fear to declare the doctrines [truths] of His cross. O Lord, I have not hid thy righteousness within my heart. Sweet is the prospect which the text sets before me! Friends forsake and enemies exult [rejoice], but the Lord does not disown His servant.

Doubtless my Lord will own me even here, and give me new tokens [proofs] of His favorable regard. But there comes a day when I must stand before the great Father. What bliss [joyfulness] to think that Jesus will confess me then! He will say, …This man truly trusted me, and was willing to be reproached for my name’s sake; and therefore I acknowledge him as mine … .

The other day a great man was made a knight, and the Queen handed him a jeweled garter [band to hold up socks and shirt sleeves before elastic was invented]; but what of that? [So what!] It will be an honor beyond all honors for the Lord Jesus to confess us in the presence of the divine Majesty in the Heavens.

Never let me be ashamed to own [to claim, speak up and speak out for] my Lord. Never let me indulge [allow] a cowardly silence, or allow a faint-hearted compromise [. Shall I blush [be embarrassed] to own [claim] Him who promises to own [speak up for] me?

Prayer: Thank You dear Lord that You confess whosoever has confessed you publicly on earth to Your Father in heaven. I receive this promise in your name and for your sake Lord Jesus. Amen.

Please send the e-mail addresses of someone you would like to receive Daily Spurgeon .
… and pray for the saving of many souls and the strengthening of all believers.

The Lord … is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance.

2 Peter 3:9

Pray also that believers will be taught by the Holy Spirit to rightly divide God’s eternal Word preserved by God, Himself.

MORNING October 14th "I COUNT ALL THINGS BUT LOSS FOR THE EXCELLENCY OF THE KNOWLEDGE OF CHRIST JESUS MY LORD. " — Philippians 3:8
EVENING: October 14th "AND BE NOT CONFORMED TO THIS WORLD. "
— Romans 12:2

—Reputo todas las cosas pérdida por el eminente conocimiento de Cristo Jesús, mi Señor
— Filipenses 3:8

SPIRITUAL knowledge of Christ will be [is] a personal knowledge. I cannot know Jesus through another person's acquaintance with Him.

No, I must know Him myself; I must know Him on my own account. It will be an intelligent knowledge.
I must know Him, not as the visionary dreams of Him, but as the Word reveals Him.

I must know His natures, divine and human.

I must know His offices, His attributes, His works, His shame, His glory.

I must meditate on Him until I "comprehend with all saints what is the breadth, and length, and depth, and height; and know the love of Christ, which passeth [passes, is beyond] knowledge."

It will be an affectionate knowledge of Him; indeed, if I know Him at all, I must love Him.

An ounce of heart knowledge is worth a ton of head learning.

Our knowledge of Him will be a satisfying knowledge. When I know my Savior, my mind will be full to the brim—I shall feel that I have that which my spirit panted after [sorely longed for]. "This is that bread whereof if a man eat he shall never hunger."

At the same time it will be an exciting knowledge; the more I know of my Beloved, the more I shall want to know. The higher I climb, the loftier will be the summits which invite my eager footsteps. I shall want the more as I get the more.

Like the miser's treasure, my gold will make me covet more.

To conclude, this knowledge of Christ Jesus will be a most-happy-one; in fact, so elevating that sometimes it will completely bear me up above all trials and doubts and sorrows; and it will, while I enjoy it, make me something more than "Man that is born of woman, who is of few days, and full of trouble,"

for it will fling about me the immortality of the ever-living Savior and gird [support] me with the golden girdle of His eternal joy.

Come, my soul, sit at Jesus' feet and learn of Him all this day.

EVENING October 14th "AND BE NOT CONFORMED TO THIS WORLD. "
— Romans 12:2

—No os conforméis á este siglo— Romanos 12:2

IF a Christian can possibly be saved while he conforms to this world, it must be so as by fire. Such a bare salvation is almost as much to be dreaded as desired.

Reader, would you wish to leave this world in the darkness of a desponding death bed and enter heaven as a shipwrecked mariner [seaman] climbs the rocks of his native country?

Then be worldly; be mixed up with Mammonites [seekers of uncertain riches] and refuse to go without [outside] the camp bearing Christ's reproach.

But would you have a heaven below as well as a heaven above? Would you comprehend with all saints what are the heights and depths, and know the love of Christ which passes knowledge?

Would you [like to] receive an abundant entrance into the joy of your Lord?

Then come out from among them and be ye separate; touch not the unclean thing.

Would you attain the full assurance of faith? You cannot gain it while you commune with sinners.
Would you flame with vehement love? Your love will be dampened by the drenchings [downpours] of godless society.

You cannot become a great Christian —you may be a babe in grace, but you never can be a perfect man in Christ Jesus— while you yield yourself to the worldly maxims [sayings] and modes of business of men of the world.

It is ill for an heir of heaven to be a great friend with the heirs of hell. It has a bad look when a courtier [member of the king’s royal court] is too intimate with his king's enemies. Even small inconsistencies are dangerous.

Little thorns make great blisters, little moths destroy fine garments, and little frivolities and little rogueries [weird behavior] will rob religion of a thousand joys.

0 professor, too little separated from sinners, you know not what you lose by your conformity to the world. It cuts the tendons of your strength, and makes you creep [crawl] where you ought to run. Then, for your own comfort's sake and for the sake of your growth in grace, if you be a Christian, be a Christian, and be a marked and distinct one.

A SINNER’S PRAYER October 14th (FOR WHOSOEVER):

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 and be saved … won’t you?

(Pray like this)
“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.0

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 and I call on You 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, Lord Jesus, I come to You, just as I am. I’m trusting You to forgive me and save me. I look to you as my Lord and Savior.
Please forgive me of all my sins. I’m sorry for each one. Without You, I am lost. Thank you, Lord, for saving me. You paid the price, in full, for all of my sins and the sins of the whole world once for all by suffering and dying on the cross.
Thank You that You loved me and died for me.

Thank you, Heavenly Father, for saving me. Thank You that You brought me to see Your love for me and that the wages of sin is death but eternal life is mine through the Lord Jesus Christ who suffered and died as the sacrifice Lamb of God.

Thank You, Heavenly Father that you raised Jesus from the dead victorious over sin, death and the grave and that in Him I am now eternally born again.

I believe that You have saved me and will guide, comfort and instruct me by the Holy Spirit into all truth and that You will be conform me to the image of Your only begotten son, the Lord Jesus Christ, my Savior and Lord.

In the name of Jesus Christ I pray, Amen.

Please allow us to celebrate your new birth with you and the angels in heaven. They rejoice in the redemption of each sinner who comes to the Lord Jesus. Write us, won’t you?

[You too can cast your cares on the Lord…

Call on Him. As for me, I will call upon God; and the Lord shall save me.. ...Psalm 55:16
Trust Him. Commit thy way unto the Lord; trust also in him; and he shall bring it to pass ... Psalm 37:5
Come to Him. Come unto me, all ye that labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.. Matthew 11:28
Give Him the burden. Cast thy burden upon the Lord, and he shall sustain thee: he shall never suffer the righteous to be moved. Psalm 55:22]

Abide in me Lord Jesus in Your name 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.

____________________________________________________

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.

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.

…“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.

TODAY’S 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.”

In Defense of I 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 both the Codices Sinaiticus and Vaticanus,
(The Primary Greek sources used in all 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 Bound] Bride, for whom HE will come again to consummate their Marriage in the Marriag 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.

Why Cults, False Teachers, Heretics and Critical Text adherents have tried to take 1 John 5:7 out of the Holy Bible.

By Dr. Phil Stringer

1 John 5:7 Is The Great Trinitarian Proof Text of The Bible. (That establishes the immutable Doctrine of the Trinity.)

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?

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, 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.

Thank you, Lord, for DailySpurgeon.com a website given by You to encourage and support personal devotions to the Lord Jesus. This ministry started with sending e-mails of Faith’s Checkbook by Charles H. Spurgeon to Jon Edward Riley and others he would add..

Jon was called home by his loving Father in Heaven on January 16, 2021.

His memory is honored here, giving honor to whom honor is due. We pray that through this and all other instrumentalities that God may effect, many will be born again, challenged, encouraged, and supported to grow in personal devotion to the Lord Jesus Christ while being conformed to His image; that they might be the firstborn among many brethren..

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.

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.)
