(2 hrs. 49 mins.)

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  (57 min)

 

 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 because

 

 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 agree overwhelmingly [99%] with one

 

another, are inerrant  and do not contain any of the heretical biases found in the Greek Text created by Westcott & Hort, Nestle & Aland or the Codices Vaticanus  and Sinaiticus.

 

The Foundational support of these Greek Texts rest upon only 45 hand-picked  manuscripts from the extant Majority Text instead of all 5,321.

SELECTIONS:

 

PRAYER 7,   Part 5 of 7

LET ALL THE PEOPLE PRAISE THEE.

Our heart knows the Father’s love, for we have received the spirit of adoption, whereby we cry, “Abba Father. [Dadda, Daddy]” And we joy and [we] rejoice in the redemption of our spirits, and we expect the redemption of our bodies, when, at the coming of the Lord they too shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed.
 

O Jesus, Thou wilt bring Thy [Your] Israel out of Egypt, and not a hoof  [not one head of livestock] shall be left behind; no, not a bone, nor a piece of Thine [Your] elect shall be left in the hands of the adversary [enemy]. We shall come out clean, delivered by Him, Who doeth nothing by halves [half-way], but Who on the cross said, “It is finished.” Who much more will say it on His throne:

 

Glory be unto Father, Son and Holy Ghost [Spirit], Who hath lifted us up from our ruin and condemnation, and made us new creatures, and justified us, and guaranteed us eternal life, which eternal life shall be manifested at the coming of the Lord. All glory be unto His ever blessed name for ever and ever! 

 

And now, Lord, during the few days that remain to us here below, be it all our business to cry, 

 

“Behold  [Look!] the Lamb!”

 

Oh!  teach these hearts to be always conscious of Thy love; and then these lips, that they may set out as best they can by Thy [Your] divine help the matchless story of the Cross.

 

Oh! do give us to win many [souls] to Jesus; let us not be barren, [childless] but may we have to cry that we are the beloved of the Lord, and our offspring with us. May we have many spiritual offspring that shall go with us to the throne, that we may say before Him:

 

“I and the children that Thou hast given me.” 

 

[In the name of the Lord Jesus] Amen.

(Complete Prayer attached: PRAYER 7.doc)

 

ANECDOTE  188:   Superficial Unbelief.

[Joseph] Addison tells us of a man who, on board ship in a storm, knelt down to pray, and expressed his firm belief in a God. When he got ashore some one laughed at him for it, and he challenged the man to a duel. They fought together, and the atheist fell, wounded.  When the blood was flowing, he believed there was a God, and he began to cry to God with all his might to save him. The physician bound up the wound. The man put the question to him, “Is it mortal?” [deadly?]   “No,” he says: “it is only a flesh wound.” Then said the man, “There is no God ; I am a thorough atheist.”

 

He believed in God when he thought he was going to die; the moment he felt himself better, he returned to his unbelief.

 

FAITH’S CHECKBOOK  FEBRUARY 6    BLESSING IN THE CITY

by C.H. Spurgeon (1834-1892)

 

-If thou shalt hearken unto the voice of the Lord thy God, blessed shalt thou be in the Deuteronomy  28:2,3
-Y vendran sobre ti todas estas bendiciones, y te alcanzarán, cuando oyeres la voz de Jehova tu Dios. Bendito serás tu en la ciudad- Deuteronomio 28:2,3

       The city is full of care, and he who has to go there from day to day finds it to be a place of great wear and tear [great stress] . It is full of noise, and stir, and bustle, and sore travail [hard work]: many are its temptations, losses, and worries. But to go there with the divine blessing takes off the edge of its difficulty; to remain there with that blessing is to find pleasure in its duties, and strength equal to its demands.
 

A blessing in the city may not make us great, but it will keep us good;  it may not make us rich, but it will preserve us [keep us] honest. Whether we are porters, or clerks, or managers, or merchants, or magistrates, the city will afford us opportunities for usefulness.

 

It is good fishing where there are shoals [schools] of fish, and it is hopeful to work for our Lord amid the thronging crowds. We might prefer the quiet of a country life; but if called to town, we may certainly prefer it because there is room for our energies. Today let us expect good things because of this promise, and let our care be to have an open ear to the voice of the Lord, and a ready hand to execute His bidding [will].

 

Obedience brings the blessing. -In keeping his commandments there is great reward.

Prayer: Thank you Lord that if we hear and obey Your voice we will be blessed in the city. Please keep this promise fresh in my heart and make  me understand your will for me today. Give me wisdom and empower me to obey You in Jesus name, Amen.
 

 

MORNING    February 6

 

"Praying always. "— Ephesians 6:18
-Orando en todo tiempo-  Efesios 6 

       

WHAT multitudes of prayers we have offered up from the first moment we learned to pray. Our first prayer was a prayer for ourselves; we asked that God would have mercy upon us, and blot out our sin. He heard us. But when He had blotted out our sins like a cloud, then we had more prayers for ourselves. We have had to pray for sanctifying grace, for constraining and restraining grace.

 

We have been led to crave for a fresh assurance of faith, for the comfortable application of the promise, for deliverance in the hour of temptation, for help in the time of duty, and for relief in the day of trial. We have been compelled to go to God for our souls, as constant beggars asking for everything. 

 

Bear witness, children of God, you have never been able to get any­thing for your souls elsewhere [anywhere else].  All the bread your soul has eaten has come down from heaven, and all the water it has drunk has flowed from the living rock—                                                                                                                                                                 .

Your soul has never grown rich in itself; it has always been a pensioner [dependent] upon the daily bounty of God. Your prayers have ascended to heaven for a range of spiritual mercies all but infinite. Your wants were innumerable, and the supplies have been infinitely great; your prayers have been as varied as the mercies have been countless. Then have you not cause [don’t you have reason] to say, 

 

"I love the Lord, because He has heard the voice of my supplication [earnest requests] "? For as your prayers have been many, so also have been God's answers to them. He has heard you in the day of trouble, has strengthened you, and helped you, even when you dishonored Him by trembling and doubting at the mercy seat. 

 

Remember this, and let it fill your heart with gratitude to God, who has thus gra­ciously heard your poor weak prayers.

 

"Bless the Lord, O my soul, and forget not all His benefits."  (sing this praise/ Won’t you?)

EVENING   February  6

"Pray one for another. "— James 5:16
-Rogad los unos por los otros-  Santiago 5:16

        AS an encouragement cheerfully to offer interces­sory prayer, remember that such prayer is the sweetest  God ever hears, for the prayer of Christ is of this character.  In all the incense which our Great High Priest now puts into the golden censer, there is not a single grain for Himself.

 

        His intercession must be the most acceptable of all supplications—and the more our prayer is like Christ's, the sweeter it will be; thus while petitions for ourselves will be accepted, our pleadings for others, having in them more of the fruits of the Spirit, more love, more faith, more brotherly kindness, will be, through the precious merits of Jesus, the sweetest oblation that we can offer to God, the very fat of our sacrifice.

 

Remember, again, that intercessory prayer is exceedingly effectual.

 

        What wonders it has wrought! The Word of God teems with [is full of] its marvelous deeds. Believer, you have a mighty engine in your hand, use it well, use it constantly, use it with faith, and you will surely be a benefactor to your brethren. When you have the King's ear, speak to Him for the suffering members of His body. When you are favored to draw very near to His throne, and the King says to you, "Ask, and I will give you whatever you want," let not your petitions be for yourself alone, but for the many who need His aid.

 

        If you have grace at all, and are not an intercessor, that grace is at least a grain of mustard seed. You have just enough grace to float your soul clear from the quicksand,  but you have no deep floods of grace, or else you would carry in your joyous barque [boat] a weighty cargo of the wants of others, and you would bring back from your Lord for them, rich blessings that might not have been obtained without you.

                                                 

                                                                  Oh, let my hands forget their skill,
                                                           My tongue be silent, cold, and still,
                                                                  This bounding heart forget to beat,
                                                            If I forget the mercy seat!

 

SINNER’S PRAYER: … FOR WHOSOEVER:

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

Call on the name of the Lord Jesus and be saved … pray like this, won’t you?

“Lord Jesus, I’m a lost sinner and without You I am lost. I can’t save myself. Without your death on the cross to pay my sin debt I would be condemned to spend eternity in Hell. My nature and behavior has been sinful from birth. Please forgive me.

I realize that doing my best, being as good as possible, or being better than other people can never save me. . I’m sorry for each and every sin I have ever done and look to You to forgive them all.

I look to You, alone Lord Jesus to save me.

I call on You, Lord Jesus, right now to save me. You died on the cross for me, as God’s sacrifice for my sin.

Right now, just as I am, I call on You, Lord Jesus to save me, I trust You to be my Savior and Lord.

Thank You, Lord Jesus, that You have forgiven me of all my sins. I want to follow You from now on.

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 called me away from sin and death into the Life everlasting in Your only begotten son, the Lord Jesus.

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.

Thank You for saving me heavenly Father and Holy Spirit for Your comfort and guidance in all things.

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

SPECIAL SPURGEON SERMON: “Why Men Cannot Believe in Christ”

[Christ Jesus]

 

URL:  https://youtu.be/hHF1r74XaTQ?si=czhwYSJP9H53XqCy

 

Note: This Sermon was referenced in the Men’s Bible Study on Wednesday, August 14th 2024 at South Shores Church and is featured here as an unabridged Audio recording of Sermon # 1245 that was preached originally by Charles Spurgeon in 1875 from his home church, The Metropolitan Tabernacle, London, U.K.

Can You trust this website?

Is it of God?

Is it trustworthy?

1 John  Chapter 4

Beloved ones, don’t be believing every spirit [everything you hear] but [continually] be testing the spirit whether it is of God: because many false prophets have come out in the world. Here’s how you know the Spirit of God: Every spirit [voice] that confesseth [confesses, says] that Jesus Christ is come [is here] in the flesh, having come out of God, is of God: and every spirit [voice] 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 ye have heard that it should come; and even now already is it in the world.

Hence, I confess [declare and affirm] "Jesus Christ is come [is here] in the flesh."

___________________________________________________________________

 

He has always existed from eternity past [FOREVER] as the WORD of God.    John 1:1-2

And He was born of a virgin 2,024 years ago in Bethlehem, the WORD made flesh,

is alive today, and is coming soon for His *bride, the Church

[*All redeemed believers].

"And without controversy great is the mystery of godliness:

God was manifest in the flesh, justified in the Spirit,

believed on in the world, received up into glory."

1 Timothy 3:16

 

Let me invite you to trust in  the Lord Jesus Christ as your Savior and Lord and to publicly confess [declare] Him as such before men [publicly]. He will therefore be able to acknowledge and confess you before His Father in Heaven. He is The God of Abraham. Isaac and Jacob. Following your public confession, You also invited to follow Him in believer’s baptism.  

 

Jesus came from Galilee t o Jordan to be baptized by John the Baptist. But, John forbad [refused] Him and said, “I have need to be baptized of You and [yet] you are coming to me?” [for baptism] And Jesus answering him said, “Suffer it to be so [Allow this]: for thus it becometh [is fitting and right for] us to fulfil all righteousness.” 

 Matthew 3:15

 

Baptism is not required for salvation. Remember, what Jesus said to the thief on the cross, who acknowledged Jesus’ innocence by saying to him:

 

“Remember me when you come into your kingdom.”

 

And then, Jesus said to him:

 

“Verily [Truly] I say to you, Today you shall be with me in paradise.” Luke 23:43

Baptism pictures the Lord’s death, burial  and resurrection and the believer being Born Again.

 

It bears witness to the truth  John the Baptist preached that the Kingdom of Heaven is at hand requiring Repentance from sin and the Baptism of atonement. Therefore, the act of baptism is not required for salvation but it needed is an act of obedience to fulfil all righteousness.

Matthew 3:15

Romans 6:3-5:

3 Know ye not, that so many of us as were baptized into Jesus Christ were baptized into his death?

4 Therefore we are buried with him by baptism into death: that like as Christ was raised up from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also should walk in newness of life.

5 For if we have been planted together in the likeness of his death, we shall be also in the likeness of his resurrection.

…Jon always said “Later”; [see-ya-later] instead of “good bye”. It was his standard greeting to bid farewell … He would never  say “good-bye”. Now, as we remember the sound of him saying “Later”, it rings very true as to its new and deeper meaning and it brings a joyfulness and comfort to the hearts of those he loved so well; those who love him still and will forever more.

… we are  reminded of the promise of the Hymn:  

 ’Till We Meet Again. Amen.

Jesus Christ [Messiah- Anointed King]  has always existed, from eternity past [FOREVER] as the WORD of God.    John 1:1-2

He was born of a virgin 2,025 years ago in Bethlehem, the WORD made flesh,

is alive today, and is coming soon for His *bride, the Church

[*All redeemed believers].

"And without controversy great is the mystery of godliness:

God was manifest in the flesh, justified in the Spirit,

believed on in the world, received up into glory."

1 Timothy 3:16

 

You’re invited to receive the Lord Jesus Christ [The Messiah] as your Savior and Lord and to publicly confess your trust in Him so He  will then be able to acknowledge you before His Father, The God of Abraham. Isaac and Jacob. Jesus answered him and  said, “Suffer it to be so [to let this happen]: for thus it becometh [is in accord with] us to fulfil all righteousness.” 

 Matthew 3:15

 

Following the Lord Jesus Christ in His purpose for us is our desire. We trust Him for our salvation, guidance, strength and our eternal destiny. We desire to and will, with His help, follow Him in soul winning by use of DailySpurgeon or any instrumentality He may bestow. We invite and encourage non-believers to turn away from sin, look to Him and be saved.

We trust that believers (old and new) will benefit in knowing that He will sustain, guide and build us up as we are being conformed to the image of Christ Jesus by the power of the Holy Spirit.

Thank You LORD for dailyspurgeon.com  a website that  proclaims Jesus, the Christ [Messiah and Anointed King] to all the world .

 

This website ministry grew from a beginning of sending e-mails from  Charles Spurgeon’s  Faith’s Checkbook a book of daily promises from Scripture  to John Michael’s son, Jon Edward Riley (1971- 2021). When Jon shared them with others, they asked to be added to this mailing list. This mailing list grew to over 400 and  continues to be used in the  distribution of  the website content  Our prayer is that it will continue to encourage followers of Jesus Christ in vigorous  personal devotions of  Love, obedience and oneness with Jesus Christ through the study of and obedience to GOD’S WORD empowered by the Holy Ghost.

 

Devotional contents  by Charles Spurgeon are brought together daily at dailyspurgeon.com

These devotional contents were written and calendared by Charles Spurgeon over 200 years ago yet  continue to have a significant relevance today.

 

We pray that many lost souls will be born-again and then be built-up in the Faith of Jesus Christ. May God sustain, guide and protect this ministry begun with John Michael’s  beloved son, Jon Edward Riley (1971-2021)  honored here as one to whom honor is due.

 

Jon Edward loved to say, 

“I’m a blood-bought, born-again child of God.”

…then, he would tell them about JESUS and his love. John 3:16

Is this website   dailyspurgeon.com   trustworthy?

Is it true?     Is it of God? 

We should apply the following Scripture to everything we hear/read to discern whether what we are  hearing or reading is of God and therefore whether or not it should be believed.
 

1 John 4:1-3  Beloved ones, don’t be believing every spirit [word] you hear but be testing the spirits [words] whether they are of God: because many false prophets have gone out into the world. Here’s how you know if it is the Spirit [voice]  of God: Every spirit that confesses that Jesus Christ is come [is here] in the flesh, having come from God, is of God:  and every spirit that confesses not 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. 

Therefore beloved, we must test every voice [written or spoken]  to discern whether it is from God or not. By applying these scripture verses we can determine with certainty if the scriptural standard that protects believers from believing false prophets has been met.   We can thereby identify false witnesses and determine not to believe or follow them.  The voice [spirit] being tested should not be believed unless it confesses [states]  that… 

“Jesus Christ is here, in the flesh having come from God .”

 

The Two New Testiment Greek Texts that were created by Westcott & Hort and Nestle & Aland do not make this 1 John 4:1-4confession nor do they follow the Textus Receptus  rendered from 5,321 extant Greek manuscripts,  which  agree overwhelmingly [99%]  with each other  known as as the Majority Text. The 5,321  Majority Text Manuscripts are the source from which the trusted Textus Receptus was rendered.

 

Instead, these two purveyors of Greek texts used their own Greek  translations that they created by hand picking only 45 of the 5,321extant Greek manuscripts. When these 45 Manuscripts were silent as to the text being translated, they simply inserted their own invented and unfounded Greek text. 

 

This invented Greek translation  presented variant  readings different than the Textus Receptus [Received Text] in many places. One example  from 1 John, Chapter 4 where  all English translations other than the King James version overlook the original Greek verb “ictin” [To be] [is] (third person singular) that is translated in substantially all Majority Texts MT and  subsequently in the Textus Receptus [Received Text] and therefore have failed to correctly translate  the Greek verb  as, “Is come” [Is here].  (correctly Translated from the Textus Receptus [Received Text (TR)]  in the King James Version) 

This  error occurs  because the  modern critical Greek text, created by Westcott & Hort and Nestles & Alland DO NOT follow the  MT [Majority Texts] of 5,321 Greek manuscripts that  affirm substantial agreement with one another.   The TR  [Textus Receptus] is rendered from an overwhelming agreement found among the Majority Text of 5,321 primary Greek manuscript sources.

Both Westcott & Hort and Nestles & Alland ignore the verb “is”, from their invented  Greek text and place “has come” instead.

This error may be legally described as res ipsa loquitur a latin phrase that means “the thing speaks for itself”.

 Therefore, the Greek  inventions generated by these two sources are not actually translations, even though they are introduced as translations, but actually  represent their own  Greek language inventions unsupported by the reliability of the Majority Texts and the Textus Receptus.

How do we know? 

We know because both  non-believers and false prophets assert that Jesus Christ 
“has come” in the flesh.

Practically anyone  can make this confession as the  birth of Jesus Christ is considered by historians to be the most well documented fact in all of human history. 

 

That He has come is generally acknowledged by nonbelievers and believers alike.   However, here’s the point. There is a huge difference in meaning between “Has come” and “Is Here”. “Has come” is woefully short of the essential and clear meaning of the confession “Is Here”.

 

Just because something “has come” it can not be assumed, inferred or deduced that it also “is here”.

The “has come” assertion is generally held.  It is not, per se, a false statement. Jesus Christ has come in the flesh. However, this  falls short of  presenting a logical rubric to discern whether the sprit [voice] being tested [tried] is from God or from false prophets in the spirit of antichrist. 

 

Again, the expression “has come” rather than  “is come” [is here]  is not, per se a false statement.

However, it fails to deliver a valid hypothesis, by which spiritual understanding can be discerned. The failure is in   establishing a logical and rhetorically sound rubric by which discernment can be rendered as to the question of whether spirits [words] are from God or from false prophets or the spirit of antichrist.

 

Actually, when the term “has come” is used it is true. However, this wide-spread belief held to be historically correct by practically everyone,  does not provide a sound rubric or standard with which to discern whether a voice  [spoken or written words]  are from God or the spirit of Antichrist.

 

Almost anyone [or any voice] can declare that Jesus Christ “has come” in the flesh. But as you can see, this does not provide any discernment as to  whether something should or should not be believed as being from God and therefore as true and to be believed and followed.

 

Why?  Once again,  because almost anyone can and often does confess that Jesus Christ “has come” in the flesh. But, this is an insufficient standard by which discernment can be rightly judged. The standard in God’s Word is whether the confession that Jesus is here, per se, is being made, yes or no. This confession gives an efficacious standard to discern truth from error.

Again, while it is  true that Jesus Christ “has come” in the flesh, this alone is inadequate to discern truth from error. “Has come” does not mean the same thing as “is come [is here],  from God, in the flesh” and therefore fails to be valid for true spiritual discernment.

 

For further understanding , we  compare  Scripture with  scripture in 1 John 4:1-3 and  Ephesians 5:30-32 

we comprehend God’s message regarding  the body of Jesus Christ  being in the Flesh vis-à-vis The Body of Christ, The Corporate Church.

Compare Scripture with Scripture:  1 John 4:1-3   with Ephesians 5:30-32 

1 John 4:1-3  Authorized (King James) Version

4 Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try the spirits whether they are of God: because many false prophets are gone out into the world. 2 Hereby know ye the Spirit of God: Every spirit that confesseth that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is of God: 3 and every spirit that confesseth not that Jesus Christ is come 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. 

Ephesians 5:30-32 
Authorized (King James) Version

30 for we are members of his [Jesus Christ’s]  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 speak concerning  Christ and the church. 

 [So, we are flesh and bone members of His body, We are] one flesh with Him,  The Body of Christ is (In the flesh); and is the incarnate Body of believers.

 

He was born of a virgin 2025 years ago and He’s alive today.                       

He’s coming again  soon,  for His bride; the Church [Blood-bought, Born-again members of His body].

 

When a believer considers the fact that they are members of the body of Christ [The Church] , they will see and acknowledge that…

 

“Jesus Christ is here, from God,  in the flesh,” because  We are the Body of Christ; The Church, in the flesh! 

Amen.

THE BEST BIBLE TRANSLATION:
 

Why The KING JAMES is Best  by Steven Houck

Even though [some misinformed Bible readers believe] the King James Version has its weaknesses, it is an excellent translation and by far the best version [and the version most in demand today]. We must not be taken in by the modern versions and their claims. Our 400 years old Bible is to be preferred above all others because it is better than them all.

1) It was translated by men who are unsurpassed in their knowledge of Biblical studies.

2) The translators were pious men of God who believed in the inspiration of the Holy Scriptures.

3) It is the mature fruit of generations of English translations as well as the careful work of its translators.
4) The King James Version is based upon the Received Text rather than the critical Greek text of modern versions. [vis. Sinaiticus and Vaticanus.]
5) It is a word-for-word translation which faithfully and accurately reflects the originals [of the Majority Texts, MT].

6) The language is one of reverence and respect which gives honor [and greater glory] to the majesty of its Author.

7) Of all the English versions of today, it alone is the Bible of the Reformation.

8) Our spiritual forefathers thought so highly of it that they were willing to suffer and even die for it.

9) It is the version which has been recognized for generations and generations as the Bible God has given to His English-speaking Church.

 

[A 10th reason why it is best is added here by DailySpurgeon.com]

 

10) The KJV is the work of 54 translators selected and organized into seven companies. (2), from Westminster (2), from Cambridge, (2), from Oxford and (1)  from London. The work was done openly allowing each company to receive inquiries or comments during the course of the work.  When an issue of disagreement arose, it was addressed in Prayer and discussion was continued until the difference was resolved unanimously and without objection.

 

BEST ENGLISH TRANSLATION OF THE BIBLE:

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

 

Commitment to the Word of God

Long before the Conservative Resurgence, Dr. R.G. Lee was the Southern Baptist champion of biblical infallibility and inerrancy. In his sermon, “The Word of God – Not Broken and Not Bound,” first published in 1930, Dr. Lee proclaimed, “All who wrote are immortalized by their writing of this great Book [The Holy Bible],

 

… “supernatural in origin, divine in authorship, human in penmanship, infallible in authority, infinite in scope, universal in interest, personal in application, regenerative in power, inspired [God breathed] in totality.”

 

Dr Robert G. Lee preached a sermon Payday Someday   over 1,000 times and was the Senior Pastor of one of the first Megachurches, Bellevue Baptist Church, Memphis, Tennessee,
