This Documentary presents comprehensive historical facts that led to the unending plethora of over 100 published versionsof the English Bible. These continual but unsuccessfulattempts to replace the King James Version KJV Bible will not succeed because GOD Himselfpreserves and protects His Holy Scriptures from all heresy, blasphemy, compromise and confusion.

 

THE BEST ENGLISH TRANSLATION OF THE BIBLE:

GOD’S WORD (Immutable, Unchanged and Unchangeable, God breathed, Self-Authenticating. Providentially Preserved and Protected.  Forever Settled in Heaven, Psalm 119:89) The Authorized King James Bible

 

Which Bible Is  The Best?   David Hocking

 

The Verdict  (8 min.) The problem is not with translating the Bible into the English language. The problem occurs  and continues to exist due to additional erroneous  and sometimes  heretical Greek  texts that are created by men who  believe  themselves competent, authorized and meet [perfectly matched] scribes of The LORD to influence and therefore change the Word of God.

To believe God’s Word  is unsettled is folly.

 

 For ever, O Lord, thy Word is  settled in  heaven. Psalms 119:89

 

[The Textus Receptus (Received Text) was rendered from 5,321 extant Greek manuscripts known as the Majority Text  MT. These manuscripts overwhelmingly agree with one

 

another and do not contain error or heretical biases found in the Greek Text of Westcott & Hort, Nestle & Aland or Codex Vaticanus

 

The Foundational support of these two Greek Texts rest upon only 55 hand-picked  manuscripts from the extant Majority Text instead of all 5,321.

PRAYER 7.    Part 3 of 7

LET ALL THE PEOPLE PRAISE THEE.

       

Oh, this base [vile] heart of ours! hath it not [doesn’t it have] enough tinder [fuel to start a fire] in it to set on fire the course of nature [all that will burn]? If a spark do [does] but fall into it, any one of our members left to itself would dishonor Christ, deny the Lord that bought us, and turn back into perdition [denying the Gospel of Jesus Christ].  We are altogether ashamed. Truly in us is fulfilled Thine own Word:

 

“Thou shalt [shall] be a shame, and never open thy mouth, any more.”

 

For Thy love to us hath [has]  silenced us, that great love hath [has] hidden boasting from us; Thy great love, wherewith Thou lovedst [loved] us even when we were dead in trespasses and sins; Thy great love wherewith Thou hast [have] loved us still, despite our ill manners, our wanderings, our shortcomings, and our excesses.

 

[Thank You for Your unspeakable love to us. In the name of the Lord Jesus]  Amen.

ANECDOTE  186:  Unknown Heroes of Faith.

Think not [Don’t think] that  [Martin]  Luther was the only man that wrought [constructed] the Reformation. There were hundreds who sighed and cried in secret in the cottages of the Black Forest, in the homes of Germany, and on the hills of Switzerland. There were hearts breaking for the Lord’s appearing in strange places, they might have been found in the palaces of Spain, in the dungeons of the Inquisition,  among the canals of Holland, and the green lanes of England. Women, as they hid their Bibles, lest their lives should be forfeited [lost], cried out in spirit, 

 

“0 God, how long? ”

FAITH’S CHECKBOOK  FEBRUARY 4  HE WILL RETURN     by C.H. Spurgeon 1834—1892
 

-I will not leave you comfortless: I will come to you-  John 14:18
-No os dejare huerfanos: vendre a vosotros- Juan 14:18

He left us, and yet we are not left orphans.  He is our comfort,  and He is gone; but we are not comfortless. Our comfort is that He will come to us, and this is consolation enough to sustain us through His prolonged absence.

 

Jesus is already on His way: He says,

 

 -I come quickly-:

 

He rides post-haste [quickly] toward us. He says,

 

-I will come-:

 

and none can prevent His coming, or put it back [delay it] for a quarter of an hour. He specially says,

 

 -I will come to you- ;

… and so He will.  His coming is specially to and for His own people. This is meant to be their present comfort while they mourn that the Bridegroom doth [does] not yet appear. When we lose the joyful sense of His presence we mourn [are sad]; but we may not sorrow as if there were no hope. Our Lord in a little wrath [anger] has hid Himself from us for a moment;  but He will return in full favor.  He leaves us in a sense, but only in a sense. When He withdraws, He leaves a pledge behind that He will return.

 

O Lord, come quickly! There is no life in this earthly existence if thou be gone. We sigh for the return of thy sweet smile. When wilt  [will] thou come unto us? We are sure thou wilt [will] appear; but be thou [sudden] like a roe [young red deer], or a young hart [a prize red deer over 5 years old]

 

Make no tarrying  [don’t waste any time], O our God! 

 

Prayer: Thank you, Lord that You will not leave us orphaned or comfortless . The assurance of Your soon return is indeed a comfort. Amen.

… and pray for souls to be saved and believers to be strengthened

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 led… led                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                          by the Holy Spirit to rightly divide and proclaim God’s Word providentially protected and preserved by God, Himself.

 

John 3:16:   

For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.

 

This KJV Translation is from  the Textus Receptus (TR)  [Received Text] and is an example of the majority of 5,321 extant Greek manuscripts rendered br Scrivner from The Majority Text MT and are in substantial and overwhelming agreement and avoid inferior, ambiguous or  missing primary source texts of the variant readings found in  codices Alexandrinus, Sinaiticus and Vaticanus [from the Vatican]. There is substantial disagreement and missing texts among these Greek codices which do not agree with one another, and  are created from incomplete codices and introduce the  modern biblical criticism theory that embraces ambiguities, uncertainties and variant readings [multiple interpretations]. These are found in a multitude of new English translations and contain doctrinal compromises that nuance-away or otherwise diminish  the highest glory due to God Almighty.  The TR is the original primary New Testament Greek source of the Authorized King James Translation. It’s the ONLY ENGLISH translation that comes directly from the protected, preserved and  superior Textus Receptus.

 

For ever, O Lord, thy word is settled in Heaven. Psalm 119:89

God is not the author of confusion. 1 Corinthians 4:33­­

God, Himself, providentially protects and preserves His WORD. All of His Word is inspired, [God-breathed], self-authenticating, immutable [unchanging and unchangeable], eternal, inerrant, infallible, infinite and all-powerful [omnipotent] Word.

 

 

MORNING   February  4 

 

"The love of the Lord."  — Hosea 3:1
─El amor de Jehová ─ Oseas 3:1
                                                                   

BELIEVER, look back through all your experi­ence, and think of the way whereby the Lord your God has led you in the wilderness [through tough places, heart break and difficult  times], and how He has fed and clothed you every day, how He has borne [put up] with your ill [bad] manners, how He has put up with all your murmurings [whining],  and all your longings after the flesh-pots [sinful fleshly desires] of Egypt; how He has opened the rock [supernaturally made provision] to supply you, and fed you with manna [heavenly food] that came down from heaven. Think of how His grace has been sufficient for you in all your troubles; how His blood has been a [sufficient] pardon to you in all your sins—how His rod [club] and His staff [shepherd’s crook] have com­forted you. When you have thus looked back upon the love of the Lord, then let faith survey [see] His love in the future, for remember that Christ's covenant [holy promise] and [His] blood have something more in them than [just] the past.

 

He who has loved you and pardoned you, will never cease to love and pardon. He is Alpha and He shall be Omega also: He is first, and He shall be last. Therefore, think of when you will pass through the valley of the shadow of death, you need fear no evil, for He is with you. When you will stand in the cold floods of [the river] Jordan, you need not fear, for death cannot separate you from His love; and when you will come into the mysteries of eternity you need not tremble [with fear],

 

"For I am persuaded, that neither death; nor life, nor angels, nor principalities [authorities], nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come, nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord."

 

Now soul, isn't your love refreshed? Doesn't this make you love Jesus? Doesn't a flight through illimita­ble plains of the ether [top or bottom] of love inflame your heart and compel [force] you to delight yourself in the Lord your God? Surely as we meditate on "the love of the Lord," our hearts burn within us, and we long to love Him more.

*English (USA) spelling used. 

EVENING  February  4

 

"Your refuge [safe house] from the avenger of blood [the one who chases you for revenge for your sin]. "— Joshua 20:3
─Para que se acoja allí el homicida que matare á alguno por yerro y no á sabiendas; que os sean por acogimiento del cercano del muerto.─ Josué 20:3

 

IT is said that in the land of Canaan, cities of ref­uge were so arranged, that any man might reach one of them within half a day [travel time] at the utmost [at most] . Even so the word of our salvation [good news of Jesus

 

Christ] is near to us; Jesus is a present Savior, and the way to him is short; it is but a simple renunciation of our own merit [self-centered goodness], and a laying hold of Jesus, to be our all in all. Regarding the roads to the cities of refuge, we are told that they were strictly pre­served, every river was bridged, and every obstruction removed, so that the man who fled might find an easy passage to the city. Once a year the elders went along the roads and saw to their order [inspected them for repairs], so that nothing might impede the flight of any one, and cause him, through delay, to be overtaken and slain. How graciously do the promises of the gospel remove stumbling blocks from the way! Wherever there were by-roads and turn-offs, there were fixed up hand-posts, with this inscription upon them:

 

"To the city of refuge!"

 

This is a picture of the road to Christ Jesus. It is no roundabout road of the law; it is no obeying this, that, and the other [thing].

 

It is a straight road: "Believe, and live."

 

It is a road so hard, that no self-righteous man can ever tread [walk on] it, but so easy, that every sinner, who knows himself to be a sinner, may by it find his way to heaven [eternal salvation]. No sooner did the man-slayer reach the outworks of the city than he was safe; it was not necessary for him to pass far within the walls, but the suburbs themselves were sufficient pro­tection. Learn hence [therefore], that if you do but touch the hem of Christ's garment [robe], you will be made whole; if you do but lay hold upon Him with

 

"faith as a grain of mustard seed," you are safe.

 

A little genuine grace ensures
The death of all our sins.

 
But waste no time, loiter not [don’t procrastinate] by the way, for the avenger of blood is swift of foot [quick]; and it may be [that he is at your heels [about to catch you] at this still hour of eventide [  evening].
