DAILY SPURGEON  for January 12th  *A.D. 2025 Written and calendared for this exact date by Charles Haddon Spurgeon 1834-1892.

*A.D. Does NOT mean after death as is commonly believed. It is a Latin abbreviation
for anno Domani (It means “Year of our Lord”.

BC/AD versus BCE/CE Is there a  difference?​

Yes. Stand for the Truth, Won’t you? 

 

Jesus Christ [Messiah] (Anointed King)] the LORD GOD was born of a virgin 2025 years ago,    was crucified, then rose from the dead, victorious over sin, death and the grave and is here in the flesh from GOD as His Church, The Body of Christ and will live forever, time without end and   He, Himself, is coming again.

 

DON’T MISS THESE:

 


(2 hrs. 49 mins.)

This Documentary presents the historical facts that accompany the publication of over 100 English versionsof the Bible. These continual but unsuccessfulattempts to replace the King James Version KJV Bible can not prevail because GOD Himself preserves and protects His inerrant and infallible Holy Scripture from all heresy, blasphemy, compromise or confusion.

A SINNER’S PRAYER

________________________________________


PRAYER 3, Part 1 of 5   THE LOVE WITHOUT MEASURE OR END


LORD, we would come to Thee, but do Thou come to us [You come to us]. Draw us and we will run after Thee. Blessed Spirit, help our infirmities, for we know not what we should pray for as we ought.

Come, Holy Spirit, and give right thoughts and right utterance [words] that we may all be able to pray in the common prayer, the whole company feeling that for each one there is a portion [part].

We are grateful as we remember that if the minister in the sanctuary should not be able to pray for any one of us there is One who bears the names of all His redeemed upon His breast, and upon His shoulder, who will take care with the love of His heart and the power of His hand to maintain the cause of all His own.

[In the name of the Lord Jesus, Amen.]

(Attachment: PRAYER 3)

ANECDOTE 163: Death Sets Us Free.


I am told that persons who in the cruel ages had lain in prison for years suffered much more in the moment of the knocking off of their fetters [ iron shackles] than they had endured for months in wearing the hard iron; and yet I suppose that no man languishing [existing with declining health] in a dungeon would have been unwilling to stretch out his arm or leg, that the heavy chains might be beaten off by the smith. [blacksmith]

We should all be content to endure that little inconvenience to obtain lasting liberty.

Now, such is death the knocking off of the fetters ; yet the iron may never seem to be so truly iron as when that last liberating blow of grace is about to fall. Let us not mind the harsh grating of the key as it turns in the lock; if we understand it aright [correctly] it will be as music to our ears. Imagine that your last hour is come ! The key turns with pain for a moment; but, lo, the bolt is shot! [it flies open] The iron gate is open! The spirit is free!

Glory be unto the Lord for ever and ever!

FAITH’S CHECKBOOK January 12 LOVE UNTO THE END

C.H. Spurgeon 1834-1892

-For the Lord will not cast off for ever- Lamentations 3:31

-Porque el Senor no desechará para siempre:- Lamentations 3:31

 

He may cast away for a season, but not for ever. A woman may leave off her ornaments [jewelry] for a few days, but she will not forget them, nor throw them upon the dunghill [into the garbage can]. It is not like the Lord to cast off those whom He loves: for,
 

-having loved his own which were in the world, he loved them unto the end.-


Some talk of our being in grace and out of it, as if we were like rabbits that run in and out of their burrows: but, indeed, it is not so. The Lord’s love is a far more serious and abiding matter than this.

He chose us from eternity [past] , and He will love us throughout [all] eternity. He loved us so as to die for us, and we may therefore be sure that His love will never die. His honor is so wrapped up in the salvation of the believer, that He can no more cast him off than He can cast off His own robes of office [royal robes] as King of glory.


No, no! The Lord Jesus, as a Head, never casts off His members; as a Husband, He never casts off His bride.

Did you think you were cast off? Why did you think so evil of the Lord who has betrothed you [made a divine engagement marriage with you] to Himself?


Cast off [throw away] such thoughts, and never let them lodge in your soul again. -The Lord hath not cast away his people which he foreknew- (Romans 11:2).


-He hateth [hates] putting away [divorce]- (Malachi 2:16). ________________________________________

       … and pray for the saving of souls and strengthening  of 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 and protected by God, Himself.

      For 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  
 

The Textus Receptus TR [Received Text] is the faithfully rendered Greek text with an overwhelming agreement in and among the majority of the 5,321 extant New Testament, Greek manuscripts  known as the  MT. [Majority Text]. The Old Testament Hebrew and Aramaic manuscripts were meticulously copied by hand [manuscript] by the Masoretic scribes. These are the manuscripts  from which  the Original King James version  was translated onto English.

In order for Westcott & Hort and Nestle & Aland to create the Modern Greek to create  the many variant reaings brought through highly nuanced readings from the Critical Text theory.  Only Fifty-five 55 manuscripts from the 5,321 Majority Text MT were hand-picked and they were not from the foundational text from which the Textus Receptus was rendered but were selected from  the inferior Sinaiticus and Vaticanus codices. These fifty-five manuscripts  brought  variant readings and were created, ostensibly, to justify the creation of an alternative Greek text to the Textus Receptus which had been under spurious attack by Westcott & Hort and Nestle & Aland for many years.

The Codices known as Sinaiticus and Vaticanus are inferior because they often are in disagreement with the Textus Receptus and incredibly, with one another. They give rise to variant readings and embrace secular doctrine bias not supported by scripture translated from the Majority Text or Textus Receptus.  They have been infused by  invented Greek text where an absence of Greek text from the Fifty-five hand-picked manuscripts was found.

They invented but did not disclose themselves as the source  of the new Greek translation.  They supplied this new Greek translation to all Committee members with the aim to revise the King James Bible. However, They insisted on a code of silence as to the authorship of the Greek Text from which all the Revisions were to be based. All members of the committee were required to agree to this code.

Modern textual criticism is based on the assumption that older manuscripts are, de-facto, more accurate. Actually, the continuous and unsettled changes from their  variant readings reflect error, doctrinal ambiguities and biases not supported by the Majority Text.

Scripture based on The Greek text of Westcott &  Hort and Nestle & Aland of a secular or denominational tradition allow modern textual criticism  to  rob God of His Sovereignty, Omnipotence, Omnipresence, Immutability, Inerrancy and  Infallibility and to diminish Glory from His infinite and everlasting “I AM” that deserves and demands ALL GLORY!

 

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 all of His inspired WORD.  HIS God-breathed, self-authenticating, immutable [unchanging and unchangeable], eternal, everlasting inerrant, infallible, infinite and all-powerful [omnipotent] Word.

MORNING January 12


Ye are Christ's."— 1 Corinthians 3:23

- Vosotros de Cristo¾ 1 Corintios 3:23


“YE [you all] are Christ's.” You are His

 

by donation, [a gift] for the Father gave you to the Son;

 

[you are] His
 

by His bloody purchase,

for He counted down [counted out] the price for your redemption [ransom for your salvation and restoration];

 

[you all are] His

by dedication,

 

for you have consecrated [solemnly dedicated] yourself to Him;

 

[you all are] His

by relation,

 

for you are named by His name, and made one of His brethren [brothers] and joint heirs. Labor practically to show the world that you are the servant, the friend, the bride of Jesus. When tempted to sin, reply,

 

"I cannot do this great wickedness, for I am Christ's."

 

Immortal [everlasting] principles forbid the friend of Christ to sin. When wealth is before you to be won by sin, say that you are Christ's, and touch it not [don’t touch it] . Are you exposed to difficulties and dangers? Stand fast [firm] in the evil day [of temptation], remembering that you are Christ's.

Are you placed where others are sitting down idly, doing nothing? Rise to the work with all your powers [strength] ; and when the sweat stands on your brow [forehead], and you are tempted to loiter, [goof-off or loaf] cry,

"No, I cannot stop [waste time], for I am Christ's.

 

If I were not purchased by blood, I might be like Issachar [Son of Jacob (Israel) and Leah one of the 12 tribes of Israel] , crouching between two burdens [hiding to avoid making a decision] ; but I am Christ's, and cannot loiter [waste time]." When the siren song of pleasure would tempt you from the path of right, reply,

 

"Your music cannot charm [entice] me; I am Christ's."


When the cause of God invites you, give yourself to it; when the poor ask of you, give your goods and yourself away, for you are Christ's.

 

Never belie [deny or disguise] your [Christian] profession.

 

Be ever one of those whose manners are Christian, whose speech is like [Jesus] the Nazarene, whose conduct and conversation are so redolent [permeated with the fragrance] of heaven that all who see you may know that you are the Savior's, recognizing in you His features of love and His countenance [facial expression] of holiness.

"I am a Roman!" was a reason for integrity in the past; far more, then, let your argument for holiness be


"I am Christ's!" [I am Christ-ian] 

________________________________________


EVENING January 12


"I have yet to speak on God's behalf. Job 36:2

- Todivia tengo rezones en orden á Dios- Job 36:2
 

WE ought not to court publicity [seek fame] for our virtue, or notoriety for our zeal [enthusiasm]; but, at the same time, it is a sin to be always seeking to hide that which God has bestowed on us for the good of others.

A Christian is not to be a village in a valley, but

 

"a city set upon a hill."

 

He is not to be a candle under a bushel, but a candle in a candlestick, giving light to all.

 

Retirement may be lovely in its season, and to hide oneself is modest, but the hiding of Christ in us can never be justified, and the keeping back of truth that is precious to us is a sin against others and an offence against God.

 

If you are of a nervous temperament and of a reserved disposition, take care that you do not indulge too much in this trembling propensity [inclination], lest you become useless to the church.

In the name of Him [Jesus Christ] who was not ashamed of you, seek to overcome your feelings, and tell to others what Christ has told to you. If you cannot speak with trumpet tongue, use the still small voice. If the pulpit cannot be your tribune, if the [printing] press may not carry your words on its wings, yet say with Peter and John,

 

“Silver and gold have I none; but such as I have give I thee.”

 

If you cannot preach a sermon on the mountain, talk to the Samaritan woman by Sychar's well. Utter the praises of Jesus in the house, if not in the temple; in the field, if not upon the exchange; in the midst of your own household [in your world], if you cannot in the midst of the great family of man. From the hidden springs within let sweetly flowing rivulets of testimony flow forth, giving drink to every passer-by.

Do not hide your talent; trade with it; and you will bring in good interest for your Lord and Master. To speak for God will be refreshing to us, cheering to saints, useful to sinners, and honoring to the Savior. Dumb children are an affliction to their parents.


Lord, unloose all Your children's tongues.

A 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 by immersion. 

 

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 and said 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’s new birth.

 

It bears witness with John the Baptist who preached that the Kingdom of Heaven is at hand and exhorted Repentance from sin and the Baptism of atonement. Therefore, the act of baptism is not required for salvation but it 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

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

 

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

 

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

 

“Remember me when you come into your kingdom.”

 

And Jesus said to him,

 

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


The act of Baptism pictures the Lord’s death, burial  and resurrection and the believer’s death to self, burial, and resurrection to walk in newness of life.

It bears witness to the preaching of John the Baptist who preached that the Kingdom of Heaven is at hand and exhorted Repentance from sin and the Baptism of atonement. Therefore, the act of baptism is not required for salvation but as John preached it is is to be followed to fulfil all righteousness

This website is not intended, were it possible, to take the place of the personal and physical gathering of believers fellowship or congregational worship in  local bodies of believers.

“Study to show yourself approved unto God, a worker that needs not be ashamed, rightly dividing [accurately comprehending and sharing] the word of truth.” 2 Timothy 2:15

 

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.

DailySpurgeon.com website consists  of devotional writings, prayers, sacred music  and sermons by Charles Haddon Spurgeon and the current Pastor ofThe Metropolitan Tabernacle Peter Masters, who  rightly proclaim God’s Word. Sermons and sacred congregational music seek to save lost souls and to encourage believers to become fully devoted followers of Jesus Christ.

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   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 .”

 

Two Greek manuscripts that were cobbled together by Westcott & Hort and Nestle & Aland do not make this confession nor do they follow the Textus Receptus  rendered from 5,321 extant Greek manuscripts,  which  agree overwhelmingly with each other  known as as the Majority Text. The 5,321  Majority Text is the source from which the trusted Textus Receptus was rendered.

 

Instead, these two purveyors of Greek texts used their own Greek  translations that they invented by hand picking only 55 of the 5,321extant Greek manuscripts. When these 55 Manuscripts did not contain the text being translated, they inserted their own invented and unfounded Greek text. 

 

Their 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 here  to establish a logical and rhetorically sound rubric to judge  the question of whether spirits [words] are from God or from false prophets and the spirit of antichrist is absent if “has come” is  the favored reading.

 

Actually, “has come” is such a wide-spread belief held to be historically true by all, yet, it does not provide a sound standard to discern whether a spirit [spoken or written words]  are from God or the spirit of Antichrist.

 

Almost anyone [or any spirit] can declare that Jesus Christ “has come” in the flesh. But as you see, this does not resolve the issue of whether something should or should not be believed as true or followed. Why?  Once again,  because almost anyone can and often does confess that Jesus Christ “has come” in the flesh. But, his is an insufficient standard. The standard must be whether the confession that Jesus is here  alone, 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 efficacious for true spiritual discernment.

 

Further, as 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 [it is said that the] King James Version has its weaknesses, it is an excellent translation and by far the best version available 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.

 

What Bible is The Best?  by David Hocking Reviews the HISTORY and Original Source of the Bible

 

David’s Summary  (8 minutes) The problem is not English, but what  Greek text was used to render the English translation.

 

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 (click here)  Payday Someday   over 1,000 times and was the Senior Pastor of one of the first Megachurches, Bellevue Baptist Church, Memphis, Tennessee,

This Documentary presents the historical facts that accompany the publication of over 100 English versionsof the Bible. These continual but unsuccessfulattempts to replace the King James Version KJV Bible can not prevail because GOD Himself preserves and protects His inerrant and infallible Holy Scripture from all heresy, blasphemy, compromise or confusion.

A SINNER’S PRAYER

PRAYER 3, Part 1 of 5   THE LOVE WITHOUT MEASURE OR END


LORD, we would come to Thee, but do Thou come to us [You come to us]. Draw us and we will run after Thee. Blessed Spirit, help our infirmities, for we know not what we should pray for as we ought.

Come, Holy Spirit, and give right thoughts and right utterance [words] that we may all be able to pray in the common prayer, the whole company feeling that for each one there is a portion [part].

We are grateful as we remember that if the minister in the sanctuary should not be able to pray for any one of us there is One who bears the names of all His redeemed upon His breast, and upon His shoulder, who will take care with the love of His heart and the power of His hand to maintain the cause of all His own.

[In the name of the Lord Jesus, Amen.]

(Attachment: PRAYER 3)

ANECDOTE 163: Death Sets Us Free.


I am told that persons who in the cruel ages had lain in prison for years suffered much more in the moment of the knocking off of their fetters [ iron shackles] than they had endured for months in wearing the hard iron; and yet I suppose that no man languishing [existing with declining health] in a dungeon would have been unwilling to stretch out his arm or leg, that the heavy chains might be beaten off by the smith. [blacksmith]

We should all be content to endure that little inconvenience to obtain lasting liberty.

Now, such is death the knocking off of the fetters ; yet the iron may never seem to be so truly iron as when that last liberating blow of grace is about to fall. Let us not mind the harsh grating of the key as it turns in the lock; if we understand it aright [correctly] it will be as music to our ears. Imagine that your last hour is come ! The key turns with pain for a moment; but, lo, the bolt is shot! [it flies open] The iron gate is open! The spirit is free!

Glory be unto the Lord for ever and ever!

FAITH’S CHECKBOOK January 12 LOVE UNTO THE END

C.H. Spurgeon 1834-1892

-For the Lord will not cast off for ever- Lamentations 3:31

-Porque el Senor no desechará para siempre:- Lamentations 3:31

 

He may cast away for a season, but not for ever. A woman may leave off her ornaments [jewelry] for a few days, but she will not forget them, nor throw them upon the dunghill [into the garbage can]. It is not like the Lord to cast off those whom He loves: for,
 

-having loved his own which were in the world, he loved them unto the end.-


Some talk of our being in grace and out of it, as if we were like rabbits that run in and out of their burrows: but, indeed, it is not so. The Lord’s love is a far more serious and abiding matter than this.

He chose us from eternity [past] , and He will love us throughout [all] eternity. He loved us so as to die for us, and we may therefore be sure that His love will never die. His honor is so wrapped up in the salvation of the believer, that He can no more cast him off than He can cast off His own robes of office [royal robes] as King of glory.


No, no! The Lord Jesus, as a Head, never casts off His members; as a Husband, He never casts off His bride.

Did you think you were cast off? Why did you think so evil of the Lord who has betrothed you [made a divine engagement marriage with you] to Himself?


Cast off [throw away] such thoughts, and never let them lodge in your soul again. -The Lord hath not cast away his people which he foreknew- (Romans 11:2).


-He hateth [hates] putting away [divorce]- (Malachi 2:16). ________________________________________

       … and pray for the saving of souls and strengthening  of 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 and protected by God, Himself.

      For 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  
 

The Textus Receptus TR [Received Text] is the faithfully rendered Greek text with an overwhelming agreement in and among the majority of the 5,321 extant New Testament, Greek manuscripts  known as the  MT. [Majority Text]. The Old Testament Hebrew and Aramaic manuscripts were meticulously copied by hand [manuscript] by the Masoretic scribes. These are the manuscripts  from which  the Original King James version  was translated onto English.

In order for Westcott & Hort and Nestle & Aland to create the Modern Greek to create  the many variant reaings brought through highly nuanced readings from the Critical Text theory.  Only Fifty-five 55 manuscripts from the 5,321 Majority Text MT were hand-picked and they were not from the foundational text from which the Textus Receptus was rendered but were selected from  the inferior Sinaiticus and Vaticanus codices. These fifty-five manuscripts  brought  variant readings and were created, ostensibly, to justify the creation of an alternative Greek text to the Textus Receptus which had been under spurious attack by Westcott & Hort and Nestle & Aland for many years.

The Codices known as Sinaiticus and Vaticanus are inferior because they often are in disagreement with the Textus Receptus and incredibly, with one another. They give rise to variant readings and embrace secular doctrine bias not supported by scripture translated from the Majority Text or Textus Receptus.  They have been infused by  invented Greek text where an absence of Greek text from the Fifty-five hand-picked manuscripts was found.

They invented but did not disclose themselves as the source  of the new Greek translation.  They supplied this new Greek translation to all Committee members with the aim to revise the King James Bible. However, They insisted on a code of silence as to the authorship of the Greek Text from which all the Revisions were to be based. All members of the committee were required to agree to this code.

Modern textual criticism is based on the assumption that older manuscripts are, de-facto, more accurate. Actually, the continuous and unsettled changes from their  variant readings reflect error, doctrinal ambiguities and biases not supported by the Majority Text.

Scripture based on The Greek text of Westcott &  Hort and Nestle & Aland of a secular or denominational tradition allow modern textual criticism  to  rob God of His Sovereignty, Omnipotence, Omnipresence, Immutability, Inerrancy and  Infallibility and to diminish Glory from His infinite and everlasting “I AM” that deserves and demands ALL GLORY!

 

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 all of His inspired WORD.  HIS God-breathed, self-authenticating, immutable [unchanging and unchangeable], eternal, everlasting inerrant, infallible, infinite and all-powerful [omnipotent] Word.

MORNING January 12


Ye are Christ's."— 1 Corinthians 3:23

- Vosotros de Cristo¾ 1 Corintios 3:23


“YE [you all] are Christ's.” You are His

 

by donation, [a gift] for the Father gave you to the Son;

 

[you are] His
 

by His bloody purchase,

for He counted down [counted out] the price for your redemption [ransom for your salvation and restoration];

 

[you all are] His

by dedication,

 

for you have consecrated [solemnly dedicated] yourself to Him;

 

[you all are] His

by relation,

 

for you are named by His name, and made one of His brethren [brothers] and joint heirs. Labor practically to show the world that you are the servant, the friend, the bride of Jesus. When tempted to sin, reply,

 

"I cannot do this great wickedness, for I am Christ's."

 

Immortal [everlasting] principles forbid the friend of Christ to sin. When wealth is before you to be won by sin, say that you are Christ's, and touch it not [don’t touch it] . Are you exposed to difficulties and dangers? Stand fast [firm] in the evil day [of temptation], remembering that you are Christ's.

Are you placed where others are sitting down idly, doing nothing? Rise to the work with all your powers [strength] ; and when the sweat stands on your brow [forehead], and you are tempted to loiter, [goof-off or loaf] cry,

"No, I cannot stop [waste time], for I am Christ's.

 

If I were not purchased by blood, I might be like Issachar [Son of Jacob (Israel) and Leah one of the 12 tribes of Israel] , crouching between two burdens [hiding to avoid making a decision] ; but I am Christ's, and cannot loiter [waste time]." When the siren song of pleasure would tempt you from the path of right, reply,

 

"Your music cannot charm [entice] me; I am Christ's."


When the cause of God invites you, give yourself to it; when the poor ask of you, give your goods and yourself away, for you are Christ's.

 

Never belie [deny or disguise] your [Christian] profession.

 

Be ever one of those whose manners are Christian, whose speech is like [Jesus] the Nazarene, whose conduct and conversation are so redolent [permeated with the fragrance] of heaven that all who see you may know that you are the Savior's, recognizing in you His features of love and His countenance [facial expression] of holiness.

"I am a Roman!" was a reason for integrity in the past; far more, then, let your argument for holiness be


"I am Christ's!" [I am Christ-ian] 

________________________________________


EVENING January 12


"I have yet to speak on God's behalf. Job 36:2

- Todivia tengo rezones en orden á Dios- Job 36:2
 

WE ought not to court publicity [seek fame] for our virtue, or notoriety for our zeal [enthusiasm]; but, at the same time, it is a sin to be always seeking to hide that which God has bestowed on us for the good of others.

A Christian is not to be a village in a valley, but

 

"a city set upon a hill."

 

He is not to be a candle under a bushel, but a candle in a candlestick, giving light to all.

 

Retirement may be lovely in its season, and to hide oneself is modest, but the hiding of Christ in us can never be justified, and the keeping back of truth that is precious to us is a sin against others and an offence against God.

 

If you are of a nervous temperament and of a reserved disposition, take care that you do not indulge too much in this trembling propensity [inclination], lest you become useless to the church.

In the name of Him [Jesus Christ] who was not ashamed of you, seek to overcome your feelings, and tell to others what Christ has told to you. If you cannot speak with trumpet tongue, use the still small voice. If the pulpit cannot be your tribune, if the [printing] press may not carry your words on its wings, yet say with Peter and John,

 

“Silver and gold have I none; but such as I have give I thee.”

 

If you cannot preach a sermon on the mountain, talk to the Samaritan woman by Sychar's well. Utter the praises of Jesus in the house, if not in the temple; in the field, if not upon the exchange; in the midst of your own household [in your world], if you cannot in the midst of the great family of man. From the hidden springs within let sweetly flowing rivulets of testimony flow forth, giving drink to every passer-by.

Do not hide your talent; trade with it; and you will bring in good interest for your Lord and Master. To speak for God will be refreshing to us, cheering to saints, useful to sinners, and honoring to the Savior. Dumb children are an affliction to their parents.


Lord, unloose all Your children's tongues.

A 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 by immersion. 

 

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 and said 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’s new birth.

 

It bears witness with John the Baptist who preached that the Kingdom of Heaven is at hand and exhorted Repentance from sin and the Baptism of atonement. Therefore, the act of baptism is not required for salvation but it 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.

Behold, therefore: Jesus Christ is come [is here] in the flesh.   1ohn 4:1-3

SACRED LITERATURE:

ORIGINAL: The Pilgrim’s Progress  Pub. by Logos,1853 from 1678 Original by John Bunyan

REVISED TEXT by Barry E. Horner: The Pilgrim’s Progrefs [sic]... 

 

in Pilgrim’s Progress. (Tthe World’s most widely circulated Allegory by John Bunyan, also credited, by some, as being the world’s first English novel. 

IT’S FREE. No subscription required. You may choose to read at your own pace, or you may want to view DailySpugeon.com for daily encounters with Pilgrim.)

 

"Christ in us is Christ reigning." reminds me [Spurgeon's comment] of Mr. Bunyan’s picture of [the town of] Mansoul, …when the Prince Immanuel laid siege to it, and Diabolus from within the city strove to keep him out. It was a, hard time for Mansoul then; but when at last the battering rams had broken down the gates, and the silver trumpets sounded, and the prince’s captains entered the breach, then on a day the prince himself did ride down the city’s streets, while liberated citizens welcomed him with all their hearts, hung out all their streamers, and made the church towers rock again as the bells rang out merry peals [melody] , for the king himself was come. Up to the castle of the heart he rode in triumph, and took his royal throne to be henceforth the sole lord and king of the city.

Christ in you is a right royal word. Christ swaying his scepter from the center of your being over every power and faculty, desire and resolve, bringing every thought into captivity to himself, oh, this is glory begun, and the sure pledge of heaven. Oh for more of the imperial sovereignty of Jesus; it is our liberty to be absolutely under his sway.

You may choose to read or listen to Pilgrim’s Progress as a bed time story.
