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

The man who Freed GOD’S WORD
He was used of God to Translate the NEW TESTAMENT into German in 1521-1522 from the Source Text of the 1519 Second Edition of Erasmus’s Greek New Testament that became known as The Textus Receptus. 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

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.

______________________________________________
—*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 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 to Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden,

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.”

How to Discern between God’s Holy Ghost 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 or not.
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.

PRAYER 13, Part 5 of 11 October 24th THE WINGS OF PRAYER.
Lord, Thou knowest [know] there are some that have not yet begun to live for Thee, and the prayer is now offered that they may today be born again. Others have been long in Thy ways, and are not weary of them. We sometimes wonder that Thou art not weary [tired] of us, but assuredly we delight ourselves in the ways of holiness more than ever we did. Oh! that our ways were directed to keep Thy statutes without slip or flaw. We wish [pray] we were perfectly obedient in thought, and word, and deed, entirely sanctified. We shall never be satisfied till we wake up in Christ’s likeness, the likeness of perfection itself. Oh! work us to this self-same thing, we beseech [lmplore] Thee.
[In the name of the Lord Jesus Christ] Amen.
(Attachment: PRAYER 13.doc)
ANECDOTE 84: October 24th CHRIST BRINGING MEN BACK.
Ah! we cannot always tell when we are driving poor souls away from Christ.
Often, when we think we are wooing we are driving them away; when we would be winning to the Savior, some harsh expression of ours frightens sinners away from him. Ah! poor soul, hast thou been driven away? Dost thou [Do you] understand and sympathize with what I have said? Before I knew the Lord, I could declare that I was driven away.
Once, under a powerful sermon, my heart shook within me, and was dissolved in the midst of my bowels [the pit of my stomach]; I thought I would seek the Lord, and I bowed my knee and wrestled, and poured out my heart before him. I ventured within his sanctuary to hear his word, hoping that in some favored hour he would send a precious promise to my consolation; but, ah! that wretched [horrible] afternoon I heard a sermon wherein Christ was not; I had no longer any hope. I would have sipped at [drunk from] that fountain, but I was driven away; I felt that I would have believed in Christ, and I longed and sighed for him.
But, ah ! that dreadful sermon and those dreadful things that were uttered; my poor soul knew not what was truth, or what was error; but I thought the man was surely preaching the truth, and I was driven back. I dared not go, I could not believe, I could not lay hold on Christ; I was shut out, if no one else was.
Is there some one [reading] here who has been driven away? I may have done it, and I will weep before God in secret on account of it. But let me cheer you. Hear this :
“I will bring again that which was driven away.”
As surely as you ever did come once you will be brought back again; that heavenly hour shall once more return; that blessed day shall dawn afresh [come back]; Christ shall appear, and his love and mercy shall be bestowed on [given to] you. He has drawn [attracted] you once and he will draw [attract] you again, for God never fails. He may, for wise ends and purposes, suffer [allow] you to be driven away once; but he will ultimately bring you to himself, for he has said,
“I will bring again that which was driven away.”
FAITH’S CHECKBOOK October 24th GODLY STABILITY
by C.H. Spurgeon 1834-1892
-And I will make thee unto this people a fenced brazen [of brass] wall: and they shall fight against thee, but they shall not prevail against thee; for I am with thee to save thee and to deliver thee, saith the Lord- Jeremiah 15:20
Stability in the fear and faith of God will make a man like a wall of brass, which no one can batter down or break. Only the Lord can make such; but we need such men in the church, and in the world, but specially in the pulpit.
Against uncompromising men of truth this age of shams will fight tooth and nail. Nothing seems to offend Satan and his seed like decision. They attack holy firmness even as the Assyrians besieged fenced cities.
The joy is that they cannot prevail against those whom God has made strong in His strength.
[Those that are] Carried about with every wind of doctrine [every popular idea that comes along], [they] only need to be blown upon, and away they go; but those who love the doctrines of grace, because they possess the grace of the doctrines, stand like rocks in the midst of raging seas. Whence this stability? [From where does this stability come?]
-I am with thee,
saith [says] the Lord-: that is the true answer. Jehovah will save and deliver faithful souls from all the assaults of the adversary. Hosts [armies] are against us, but the Lord of hosts [all powerful, omnipotent God] is with us. We dare not budge an inch; for the Lord Himself holds us in our place, and there we will abide forever.
Prayer: Thank You dear Lord that You are like a brass wall to protect your people. This holy firmness is wholly because You are with us. I believe in this promise of strength and holding power Lord Jesus, in Your name, Amen.

… and pray for the saving of many souls and 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.
God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten [supernaturally fathered] Son, that whosoever believeth in Him should not perish but have everlasting life.
John 3:16 vis. Textus Receptus [The Received Greek Text] (The overwhelming majority of extant New Testament Greek texts.)
vis. The Textus Receptus TR [Received Text] was faithfully rendered and is 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 Receptus was compiled. The Hebrew manuscripts were meticulously copied by hand [manuscript] by the Masoretic scribes of the Old Testament. Sinaiticus and Vaticanus codices are not of comparable quality as they are often found to be in disagreement with one another. They have been combined with invented Greek.
Never-the-less, a mere Fifty-five 55 manuscripts from the 5,321 were hand-picked from these compromised codices containing multiple variant readings and were 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 under attack by Westcott & Hort and Nestle & Aland who invented but did not disclose themselves as 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 revisions to the King James Bible.
Modern textual criticism is based on the false assumption that older manuscripts are, de-facto, better. Actually, the unsettled changes from the variant readings reflect doctrinal ambiguities and are sometimes used to bolster doctrine that is unsupported in scripture of a secular or denominational tradition or to allow 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 deserving of ALL GLORY.
MORNING October 24th "THE TREES OF THE LORD ARE FULL OF SAP. "
—Llénanse de jugo los árboles de Jehová¾ Salmos 104:16
WITHOUT sap the tree cannot flourish or even exist. Vitality is essential to a Christian. There must be life—a vital principle infused into us by God the Holy Ghost [Holy Spirit], or we cannot be trees of the Lord.
The mere name of Christian is but a dead thing; we must be filled with the Spirit of divine life. This life is mysterious. We do not understand the circulation of the sap, by what force it rises and by what power it descends again. So, the life within us is a sacred mystery. Regeneration is wrought [done] by the Holy Ghost [Holy Spirit] entering-into man and becoming man's life; and this divine life in a believer afterwards feeds on the flesh and blood of [Jesus] Christ and is thus sustained [nourished] by divine food, but whence [where] it comes [from] and whither [where] it goes [to] who shall explain to us? What a secret thing the sap is!
The roots go searching through the soil, but we cannot see them suck out the various gases or transmute the mineral into the vegetable [plant]; this work is done down in the dark. Our root is Christ Jesus, and our life is hid in Him; this is the secret of the Lord. The radix [root] of the Christian life is as secret as the life itself. How permanently active is the sap in the cedar! In the Christian the divine life is always full of energy—not always in fruit-bearing, but in inward operations.
[As to] The believer's graces, are not [aren’t] every one of them in constant motion? But his life never ceases to palpitate [pulsate with life] within. He is not always working for God, but his heart is always living on Him [God].
As the sap manifests itself in producing the foliage and fruit of the tree, so with a truly healthy Christian, his grace is externally manifested in his walk and conversation. If you talk with him, he cannot help speaking about Jesus. If you notice his actions you will see that he has been with Jesus.
He has so much sap within, that it must fill his conduct and conversation with life.
EVENING October 24th "HE BEGAN TO WASH THE DISCIPLES' FEET. " — John 13:5
—El comenzó á lavar los pies de los discípulos— Juan 13:5
THE Lord Jesus loves His people so much, that every day He is still doing much for them that is analogous to washing their soiled [dirty] feet.
Their poorest actions He accepts;
their deepest sorrow He feels;
their slenderest wish [smallest prayer] He hears, and
their every transgression He forgives.
He is still their servant as well as their Friend and Master. He not only performs majestic deeds for them, [such] as wearing the miter [headdress of the high priest engraved with “Holiness to the Lord”] on His brow, and the precious jewels glittering on His breastplate, and standing up to plead for them, but humbly, patiently, He yet goes about among His people with the basin [bowl] and the towel.
He does this day by day when He puts our constant infirmities and sins away from us. Last night, when you bowed the knee [prayed], you mournfully confessed that much of your conduct was not worthy of your profession of Christianity; and even tonight, you must mourn afresh that you have fallen again into the selfsame folly and sin from which special grace delivered you long ago. And yet Jesus will have great patience with you; He will hear your confession of sin; He will say, "I will , be thou clean"; He will again apply the blood of sprinkling, and speak peace to your conscience and remove every spot. It is a great act of eternal love when Christ once for all absolves the sinner and puts him into the family of God; but what condescending patience there is when the Savior with much long-suffering bears the oft [often] recurring follies [besetting sin] of His wayward disciple; day by day, and hour by hour, washing away the multiplied transgressions of His erring but yet beloved child! To dry up a flood of rebellion is something marvelous, but to endure the constant dripping of repeated offenses, to bear with a perpetual [continual] trying of patience—this is divine indeed! While we find comfort and peace in our Lord's daily cleansing, its legitimate influence on us will be to increase our watchfulness, and quicken our desire for holiness.
Is it so [with you] ?
A Sinners Prayer October 24th
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.
Please allow us to celebrate with you and with the angels in heaven at the news of your new birth. Please write to:

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.

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.

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:

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?

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
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.

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.
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 135:13
Thy Name, O LORD endureth for ever; and Thy memorial, O LORD, throughout all generations.”
Psalm 145:21

(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
from the Bible.
By Dr. Phil Stringer
By Dr. Phil Stringer
1 John 5:7 Is The Great Trinitarian Proof Text of The Bible. (For The immutable Doctrine of the Trinity.)
________________________________
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.

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.
______________________________________
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.. Romans 13:7 Romans 8:28-29
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.)
