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.

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 English, but is which Greek text was used to translate the Greek into English. [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 the heretical biases found in the Greek Text of Westcott & Hort and Nestle & Aland. 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 6. Part 3 of 5 THE WONDERS [of] CALVARY. [The Crucifixion]
ANECDOTE 181: Need of Spiritual Exercise
FAITH’S CHECKBOOK: January 30 A HEAVENLY ESCORT
-And, behold, I am with thee, and will keep thee in all places whither thou goest.
— Genesis 28:15
MORNING: "When thou hearest [you hear] the sound of a going [something stirring] in the tops of the mulberry trees, then thou shalt [you shall] bestir thyself [“Up and at ‘um.”].”

A SINNER’S PRAYER
PRAYER 6 Part 3 of 5
THE WONDERS [of] CALVARY. [The Cross]
O Spirit of God, we love Thee this day, especially for dwelling in us. How canst [can] Thou abide in so rude [endure so impolite] a habitation. How canst [can] Thou make these bodies to be Thy temples, and yet Thou dost [do] so, for [those] which let Thy name be had in reverence so long as we live.
O Lord, we would delight ourselves in Thee this day [today]. Give us faith and love and hope that with these three graces we may draw very near to the Triune [Three-In-One] God.
Thou wilt [will] keep us, Thou wilt [will] preserve us, Thou wilt [will] feed us, Thou wilt [will] lead us, and Thou wilt [will] bring us to the mind of God, and there, wilt [will] Thou show us Thy love, and in the glory everlasting and boundless, there wilt [will] Thou make us know and taste and feel the joys that cannot be expressed.
But [Just] a little longer waiting and we shall come to the golden shore; but [just] a little longer fighting and we shall receive the crown of life that fadeth [fades] not away.
[Thank You for this in Your name Lord Jesus, Amen]

ANECDOTE 181: Need of Spiritual Exercise
Some men seem as if they only had to meet one form of trial. They remind me of the Indian Fakir; [an itinerant Hindu magician] he holds his arm straight up; that is the triumph of his strength. Now, God does not exercise a believer’s limbs [un]till they grow stiff; but he exercises them in every way, that they may become supple, so that, come what may, he is ready to achieve any exploit [challenge].
FAITH’S CHECKBOOK JANUARY 30 A HEAVENLY ESCORT by C.H. Spurgeon
-And, behold, I am with thee, and will keep thee in all places whither thou goest [go]— Genesis 28:15
-Y he aqui, yo soy contigo, y te guardaré por donde quiera que fueres- Genesis 28:15
Do we need journeying mercies? Here are choice ones
—God’s presence and preservation—.
In all places we need both of these, and in all places, we shall have them if we go at the call of duty, and not merely according to our own fancy [impulse or whim].
Why should we look upon removal [moving] to another country as a sorrowful necessity when it is laid upon us by the divine will [of God] ?
In all lands the believer is equally a pilgrim and a stranger; and yet in every region
the Lord is His dwelling place,
even as He has been to His saints in all generations. We may miss the protection of an earthly monarch, [King] but when God says,
-I will keep thee-,
we are in no real danger. This is a blessed passport for a traveler, and a heavenly escort for an emigrant.
Jacob had never left his father’s room before: he had been a mother’s boy, and not an adventurer like his brother. Yet he went abroad, and God went with him. He had little luggage, and no attendants; yet no prince ever journeyed with a nobler bodyguard.
Even while he slept in the open field,
angels watched over him, and the Lord God spoke to him.
If the Lord bids us go, let us say with our Lord Jesus,
-Arise, let us go hence-. [let’s go, sp: Vámanos]
Prayer: Thank you Father that You will be with me and keep [protect] me wherever I go In Jesus name, Amen.

… and pray that if they shall confess with their mouth the Lord Jesus and shall believe in their heart that God has raised Him from the dead, they shall be saved. Romans 10:8-10
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 providentially protected and preserved Word.
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 is the Textus Receptus (TR) [Received Text] and is rendered from the overwhelming majority of 5.321 extant Majority Greek Texts MT that is in substantial [over 90+ percent] agreement in their text itself and avoids inferior, ambiguous and missing primary source texts of the variant codices Alexandrinus, Sinaiticus and Vaticanus. There is substantial disagreement and missing texts among these codices which do not agree with one another, are created from incomplete codices and introduce modern biblical criticism theory that embraces ambiguities, uncertainties and variant readings [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 time tested 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.

"When thou hearest [hear] the sound of a going [something stirring] in the tops of the mulberry trees, then thou shalt [shall] bestir [wake] thyself...” —2 Samuel 5:24
Y cuando oyeres un estruendo que irá por las copas de los morales, entonces te moverás; porque Jehová saldrá delante de ti… 2 Samuel 5:24
-
HE members of Christ's Church [The universal church of all redeemed believers] should be very prayerful, always seeking the unction [anointing] of the Holy One [HOLY GHOST] to rest upon their hearts, that the kingdom of Christ may come, and that
His "will be done on earth, even as it is in heaven.”
But there are times when God seems especially, to favor Zion [His chosen people] and such seasons ought to be to them like
"the sound of a going in the tops of the mulberry trees." We ought then to be doubly prayerful, doubly earnest, wrestling more at the throne than we have been used to doing.
Action should then be and vigorous. The tide is flowing—now let us pull heartily for the shore.
O for Pentecostal outpourings and Pentecostal labors.
Christian, in yourself there are times "when thou hearest [hear] the sound of a going [the faintest stir] in the tops of the mulberry trees."
You have a peculiar power in prayer. The Spirit of God gives you joy and gladness. The Scripture is open to you; the promises are applied. You walk in the light of God's countenance [God’s smiling face]. You have peculiar freedom and liberty in devotion, and more closeness of communion [fellowship] with Christ than usual.
Now, at such joyous periods when you hear the
"sound of a going in the tops of the mulberry trees,"
is the time to bestir yourself; now is the time to get rid of any evil habit, while God the Spirit helps your infirmities.
Spread your sail; but remember what you sometimes sing—
I can only spread the sail;
Thou! Thou! [You!] must breathe the auspicious gale
[You must create the favorable winds].
Only be sure you have the sail up. Do not miss the gale for want [lack] of preparation for it. Seek help of God, that you may be more earnest in duty when made more strong [stronger] in faith; that you may be more constant in prayer when you have more liberty at the throne; that you may be more holy in your conversation while you live more closely with [Jesus] Christ [Messiah].
EVENING January 30
"In whom also we have obtained an inheritance." —Ephesians 1:11
WHEN Jesus gave Himself for us, He gave us all the rights and privileges that went [comes] with Himself. Therefore, as eternal God, He has essential rights to which no creature may venture to pretend; yet, as the mediator, Jesus, the federal Head of the covenant of grace, He has no heritage apart from us.
All the glorious consequences of His obedience to death are the joint riches of all who are in Him, and on whose behalf, He accomplished the divine will.
See, He enters into glory, but not for Himself alone, for it is written,
"Whither [where] the Forerunner [Jesus Christ] is for us entered [entered for us]."
(Hebrews 6:20).
Does He stand in the presence of God?
"He appears in the presence of God for us" (Heb. 9:24).
Consider this, believer. You have no right to heaven in yourself:
YOUR RIGHT LIES IN [JESUS] CHRIST.
If you are pardoned, it is through His blood.
If you are justified, it is through His righteousness.
If you are sanctified it is because He is made of God unto you sanctification.
If you shall be kept from falling, it will be because you are preserved in Christ Jesus.
And if you are perfected at the last, it will be because you are complete in Him.
Thus, Jesus is magnified [exalted], for all is in Him and by Him.
Thus, the inheritance is made certain [guaranteed] to us, for it is obtained in Him.
Thus, each blessing is the sweeter, and even heaven itself the brighter, because
it is Jesus our Beloved "in whom" we have obtained [received] all.
Where is the man who can estimate our divine portion? Weigh the riches of Christ in scales and His treasures in balances, and then think of counting the treasures which belong to [all] the saints.
Reach the bottom of [Jesus] Christ's sea of joy, and then hope to understand the bliss which God has prepared for them that love Him.
Leap over the boundaries of [Jesus] Christ's possessions, and then dream of a limit to the inheritance of the elect.
"All things are yours, for ye [y’all] are Christ’s [you-all belong to Jesus Christ]
and Christ is God’s."
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.
Please allow us to share the joy of your new birth with heaven. Heaven rejoices over each redeemed sinner. Luke 15:7

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?
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."
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.”
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.
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.

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

"And without controversy great is the mystery of godliness:

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.”
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

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 .”
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 [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
Is It The Best? David Hocking
David’s Summary (8 min.) The problem is not English, but is which Greek text was used to translate the Greek into English. [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 the heretical biases found in the Greek Text of Westcott & Hort and Nestle & Aland. 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.

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,

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.

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 English, but is which Greek text was used to translate the Greek into English. [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 the heretical biases found in the Greek Text of Westcott & Hort and Nestle & Aland. 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 6 Part 3 of 5
THE WONDERS [of] CALVARY. [The Cross]
O Spirit of God, we love Thee this day, especially for dwelling in us. How canst [can] Thou abide in so rude [endure so impolite] a habitation. How canst [can] Thou make these bodies to be Thy temples, and yet Thou dost [do] so, for [those] which let Thy name be had in reverence so long as we live.
O Lord, we would delight ourselves in Thee this day [today]. Give us faith and love and hope that with these three graces we may draw very near to the Triune [Three-In-One] God.
Thou wilt [will] keep us, Thou wilt [will] preserve us, Thou wilt [will] feed us, Thou wilt [will] lead us, and Thou wilt [will] bring us to the mind of God, and there, wilt [will] Thou show us Thy love, and in the glory everlasting and boundless, there wilt [will] Thou make us know and taste and feel the joys that cannot be expressed.
But [Just] a little longer waiting and we shall come to the golden shore; but [just] a little longer fighting and we shall receive the crown of life that fadeth [fades] not away.
[Thank You for this in Your name Lord Jesus, Amen]

ANECDOTE 181: Need of Spiritual Exercise
Some men seem as if they only had to meet one form of trial. They remind me of the Indian Fakir; [an itinerant Hindu magician] he holds his arm straight up; that is the triumph of his strength. Now, God does not exercise a believer’s limbs [un]till they grow stiff; but he exercises them in every way, that they may become supple, so that, come what may, he is ready to achieve any exploit [challenge].
FAITH’S CHECKBOOK JANUARY 30 A HEAVENLY ESCORT by C.H. Spurgeon
-And, behold, I am with thee, and will keep thee in all places whither thou goest [go]— Genesis 28:15
-Y he aqui, yo soy contigo, y te guardaré por donde quiera que fueres- Genesis 28:15
Do we need journeying mercies? Here are choice ones
—God’s presence and preservation—.
In all places we need both of these, and in all places, we shall have them if we go at the call of duty, and not merely according to our own fancy [impulse or whim].
Why should we look upon removal [moving] to another country as a sorrowful necessity when it is laid upon us by the divine will [of God] ?
In all lands the believer is equally a pilgrim and a stranger; and yet in every region
the Lord is His dwelling place,
even as He has been to His saints in all generations. We may miss the protection of an earthly monarch, [King] but when God says,
-I will keep thee-,
we are in no real danger. This is a blessed passport for a traveler, and a heavenly escort for an emigrant.
Jacob had never left his father’s room before: he had been a mother’s boy, and not an adventurer like his brother. Yet he went abroad, and God went with him. He had little luggage, and no attendants; yet no prince ever journeyed with a nobler bodyguard.
Even while he slept in the open field,
angels watched over him, and the Lord God spoke to him.
If the Lord bids us go, let us say with our Lord Jesus,
-Arise, let us go hence-. [let’s go, sp: Vámanos]
Prayer: Thank you Father that You will be with me and keep [protect] me wherever I go In Jesus name, Amen.

… and pray that if they shall confess with their mouth the Lord Jesus and shall believe in their heart that God has raised Him from the dead, they shall be saved. Romans 10:8-10
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 providentially protected and preserved Word.
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 is the Textus Receptus (TR) [Received Text] and is rendered from the overwhelming majority of 5.321 extant Majority Greek Texts MT that is in substantial [over 90+ percent] agreement in their text itself and avoids inferior, ambiguous and missing primary source texts of the variant codices Alexandrinus, Sinaiticus and Vaticanus. There is substantial disagreement and missing texts among these codices which do not agree with one another, are created from incomplete codices and introduce modern biblical criticism theory that embraces ambiguities, uncertainties and variant readings [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 time tested 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.

"When thou hearest [hear] the sound of a going [something stirring] in the tops of the mulberry trees, then thou shalt [shall] bestir [wake] thyself...” —2 Samuel 5:24
Y cuando oyeres un estruendo que irá por las copas de los morales, entonces te moverás; porque Jehová saldrá delante de ti… 2 Samuel 5:24

HE members of Christ's Church [The universal church of all redeemed believers] should be very prayerful, always seeking the unction [anointing] of the Holy One [HOLY GHOST] to rest upon their hearts, that the kingdom of Christ may come, and that
His "will be done on earth, even as it is in heaven.”
But there are times when God seems especially, to favor Zion [His chosen people] and such seasons ought to be to them like
"the sound of a going in the tops of the mulberry trees." We ought then to be doubly prayerful, doubly earnest, wrestling more at the throne than we have been used to doing.
Action should then be and vigorous. The tide is flowing—now let us pull heartily for the shore.
O for Pentecostal outpourings and Pentecostal labors.
Christian, in yourself there are times "when thou hearest [hear] the sound of a going [the faintest stir] in the tops of the mulberry trees."
You have a peculiar power in prayer. The Spirit of God gives you joy and gladness. The Scripture is open to you; the promises are applied. You walk in the light of God's countenance [God’s smiling face]. You have peculiar freedom and liberty in devotion, and more closeness of communion [fellowship] with Christ than usual.
Now, at such joyous periods when you hear the
"sound of a going in the tops of the mulberry trees,"
is the time to bestir yourself; now is the time to get rid of any evil habit, while God the Spirit helps your infirmities.
Spread your sail; but remember what you sometimes sing—
I can only spread the sail;
Thou! Thou! [You!] must breathe the auspicious gale
[You must create the favorable winds].
Only be sure you have the sail up. Do not miss the gale for want [lack] of preparation for it. Seek help of God, that you may be more earnest in duty when made more strong [stronger] in faith; that you may be more constant in prayer when you have more liberty at the throne; that you may be more holy in your conversation while you live more closely with [Jesus] Christ [Messiah].

"In whom also we have obtained an inheritance." —Ephesians 1:11
WHEN Jesus gave Himself for us, He gave us all the rights and privileges that went [comes] with Himself. Therefore, as eternal God, He has essential rights to which no creature may venture to pretend; yet, as the mediator, Jesus, the federal Head of the covenant of grace, He has no heritage apart from us.
All the glorious consequences of His obedience to death are the joint riches of all who are in Him, and on whose behalf, He accomplished the divine will.
See, He enters into glory, but not for Himself alone, for it is written,
"Whither [where] the Forerunner [Jesus Christ] is for us entered [entered for us]."
(Hebrews 6:20).
Does He stand in the presence of God?
"He appears in the presence of God for us" (Heb. 9:24).
Consider this, believer. You have no right to heaven in yourself:
YOUR RIGHT LIES IN [JESUS] CHRIST.
If you are pardoned, it is through His blood.
If you are justified, it is through His righteousness.
If you are sanctified it is because He is made of God unto you sanctification.
If you shall be kept from falling, it will be because you are preserved in Christ Jesus.
And if you are perfected at the last, it will be because you are complete in Him.
Thus, Jesus is magnified [exalted], for all is in Him and by Him.
Thus, the inheritance is made certain [guaranteed] to us, for it is obtained in Him.
Thus, each blessing is the sweeter, and even heaven itself the brighter, because
it is Jesus our Beloved "in whom" we have obtained [received] all.
Where is the man who can estimate our divine portion? Weigh the riches of Christ in scales and His treasures in balances, and then think of counting the treasures which belong to [all] the saints.
Reach the bottom of [Jesus] Christ's sea of joy, and then hope to understand the bliss which God has prepared for them that love Him.
Leap over the boundaries of [Jesus] Christ's possessions, and then dream of a limit to the inheritance of the elect.
"All things are yours, for ye [y’all] are Christ’s [you-all belong to Jesus Christ]
and Christ is God’s."
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.
Please allow us to share the joy of your new birth with heaven. Heaven rejoices over each redeemed sinner. Luke 15:7
