DAILY SPURGEON and DEVOTION  for October 10th *A.D. 2026 written and calendared by Charles Spurgeon

The Providential Preservation and Protection of God’s inspired WORD is manifested in The 1769 Edition of The [OLD] King James Version of The Bible: It’s Immutable! [God Breathed and will never change]s

King James the First of England Approved, Authorized, Commissioned and provided guidance for a new version of the Bible based upon the Bishop’s Bible  (In which The Old Testament was translated from  the original Hebrew and copied by hand [manuscript] by the Masorete  Scribes.  The Traditional [original, Received Greek Text] Text was followed in the translation of the New Testament. The King James Version of 1769 is Providentially preserved and protected and is the world’s most  authoritative  and most quoted, and most read Bible version ever with over 6 Billion extant copies. This is more than all the other versions and editions Combined and has become the Most Influential, faithful and best Bible ever.

Posted on 10/10/2026:

Dr. Jeff Riddle makes a Case for the Providential Preservation of GOD’S WORD based upon the Traditional Text, also known as The Received Text, [The Textus Receptus, TR].

THE TESTIMONY OF CHARLES SPURGEON'S CONVERSION IN HIS OWN WORDS. (Click here)

______________________________________________

—*A.D. does NOT mean “After Death”. 

Rather,  it abbreviates Anno Domini;
… a Latin phrase adopted into English that means:
“Year of our Lord."

Does BC/AD versus BCE/CE  really matter? …YES. IT DOES! 

Defend the Truth. Stand against the attempt to mislead, Won’t you?  ...More
The new terms are meaningless because BCE and CE still denote the exact number of years in relationship to the birth in Bethlehem of Jesus Christ [The Anointed Messiah].

Dr. Michael Nazir-Ali, the former Bishop of Rochester, said: 'This amounts to the dumbing down of the Christian basis of our culture, language and history. These changes are unnecessary and they don't achieve the BBC’s objective [of wiping out any mention of or reference to Jesus Christ, His birth or His life]. ’

'Whether you use “Common Era, CE” or “Anno Domini, AD”, the date is actually still exact same same for both and the reference point is still the birth of [Jesus] Christ.

Dr. Doug Levesque  presents the Historical account that reveals why we should not rely on dumbed- down versions from:

(169 minutes. Video)[jM1]     

“Bridge to Babylon” is a  very thorough video Treatise  of the explosion of over 1,000 English translations  of the Bible. An expose of the continuous  attempts to replace the Traditional [Old, NOT New] 1769 King James Version of God’s Holy, Inerrant, Infallible  and Immutable Bible. All Attempts fail because GOD Himself providentially preserves and protects His Inspired  [God Breathed/Spoken] Words from all heresy, blasphemy, confusion, error and misinterpretation .

Over six Billion extant  (OLD 1769) King James Bibles establish it as the most widely printed, read and distributed book in human history. This is more than all other translations added  together and continues to be the most quoted and most read  Bible ever.

How we can Discern between God’s Holy Ghost, Divine Spirit and the spirit of false teachers and the Antichrist:

Is this Website from God and therefore trustworthy?

God says in His WORD to try every spirit to discern [determine] whether they are of God, and therefore whether they should be believed and obeyed  or not.

1 John 4:1-3

Chapter 4 
1Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try [test] the spirits whether they are of God, because many false prophets are gone out into the world. 2 Hereby know ye [by this you all [will] know the Spirit of God: Every spirit that confesseth [confesses] that Jesus Christ is come [is here] in the flesh is of God: 3 and every spirit that confesseth not [doesn’t confess] that Jesus Christ is come [is here] in the flesh is not of God: and this is that spirit of antichrist, whereof [of which] ye [you all] have heard that it should come; and even now already is it in the world.

Therefore, Daily Spurgeon’s Website must hereby confess that

 

"Jesus Christ is come [is here] in the flesh!” as the Body, The Bride of Christ; of His Church.

     “OUR Father, which art in heaven, hallowed be Thy name, Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven.”

We fear that we often begin our prayer with petitions for ourselves, and put our daily bread [agenda] before Thy kingdom, and the pardoning of our sins before the hallowing of Thy name.  We would not do so today.

 

  "But Not Today"  a Poem by the late Bob Barry (Parkinson afflicted  soldier of the Cross) Recorded and published by Dailyspurgeon.com] 

 

    -- guided by our Lord’s model of prayer, we would first pray for Thy glory; and here, great God, we would adore Thee [want to give pure love and adoration to You]. Thou hast [You have] made us and not we ourselves. We are Thy [Your] people, and the sheep of Thy [Your] pasture.  [May] All glory be unto Thee [You], Jehovah, the only living and true God.  With heart and mind, and memory and fear, and hope and joy, we worship [You] the Most High [God]. It well becomes us to put our shoes from off our feet [take off our shoes] when we draw near to God, for the place whereon we stand is holy ground. If God in the [burning] bush demanded the un-sandaled foot [bare feet] of the prophet [Moses], how much more shall God in Jesus Christ [The Messiah] [demand it]?

The King is Coming   by Bill and Gloria Gaither. (Sing-along won’t you?)

When great commanders are known to have come into a camp what a thrill of joy it causes among their trusty warriors. When the soldiers have been much dejected it has been whispered in their tents   “The king has come to marshal us, [to direct us personally] Dressed in all his armor,” and from that moment every man has cheered up. At the sight of the king as he comes riding into the camp the host [army] raises a great shout. What means it? [What does the shout mean?] It is a shout of loyal love they are glad to welcome their leader. So is it with us when we sing “The King himself comes near,” we are all as glad as glad can be. Those who cannot come out to see their prince, because they are lying on their sick beds in hospital, clap their hands, while even the little children in their mother’s arms join in the general joy.

       “The king is come, [is Here] ”  say they, and his presence kindles their enthusiasm till they make the hills ring again. You know how the stern Ironsides [Cromwell’s soldiers] felt when Cromwell came along; every man was a hero when he led the way. They were ready for any adventure, no matter how difficult, as long as their great chief was there. That enthusiasm which was inspired by Alexander, and by Napoleon, and by other great commanders, is the earthly image of the spiritual fervor felt by the church when the Lord Jesus vouchsafes [guarantees] to be in the midst of it.

 

FAITH’S CHECKBOOK October 10th   OPEN DOOR OF COMMUNION

-I have set before thee [placed before you]  an open door, and no man can shut it  -Revelation 3:8  
 

Saints who remain faithful to the truth of God have an open door before them. My soul,  thou hast resolved to live and die by that which the Lord has revealed in His Word, and therefore before thee stands this open door. I will enter in by the open door of communion with God. Who shall say me nay?  [Who shall say No?] 

 

Jesus has removed my sin, and given me His righteousness, therefore I may freely enter. Lord, I do so by thy grace. I have also before me an open door into the mysteries of the Word [the Holy Bible]. I may enter into the deep things of God. Election,  Union to Christ,  the Second Advent [second coming of Jesus Christ] … all these are before me, and I may enjoy them. No promise and no doctrine are now locked up against me. An open door of access is before me in private, and an open door of usefulness in public.

 

God will hear me; God will use me.  A door is opened for my onward march to the church above, [in Heaven] and for my daily fellowship with saints below. [on earth]

      *Some may try to shut me up or shut me out, but all in vain.  Soon shall I see an open door into Heaven: the pearl gate will be my way of entrance, and then I shall go in unto my Lord and King, and be with God eternally shut in.

 

     Prayer: Thank You dear Lord that the open door You have set before me cannot be shut by anyone or anything.  I receive  this in your name and for Your sake Lord Jesus. Amen.

When We All Get to Heaven    by Alan Jackson

When We All Get to Heaven  (2)  by Bill and Gloria Gaither

REVOLVE in your mind that wondrous word,  “faultless!”   We are far off from it now; but as our Lord never stops short of perfection in His work of love, we shall reach it one day. The Savior who will keep His people to the end, will also present them at last to Himself, as "a glorious church, not having spot, or wrinkle, or any such thing, but holy and without blemish."  All the jewels in the Savior's crown are of the first water [purest elements, highest quality and color] and without a single flaw. All the maids of honor who attend the Lamb's wife are pure virgins without spot or stain. But how will Jesus make us faultless?  

 

            He will wash us from our sins in His own blood until we are white and fair as God's purest angel; and we shall be clothed in His righteousness, that righteousness which makes the saint who wears it positively faultless; yea, perfect in the sight of God. We shall be unblameable and unreprovable even in His eyes. His law will not only have no charge against us, but it will be magnified in us. Moreover, the work of the Holy Spirit within us will be altogether complete. He will make us so perfectly holy, that we shall have no lingering tendency to sin. 
      Judgment, memory, will [volition, desire] — every power and passion will be emancipated from the bondage of evil. We will be holy even as God is holy, and in His presence we will dwell forever. Saints will not be out of place in heaven; their beauty will be as great as that of the place prepared for them. Oh the rapture of that hour when the everlasting doors shall be lifted up, and we, being made meet [suitable] for the inheritance, shall dwell with the saints in light. Sin gone, Satan shut out, temptation past forever, and ourselves  "faultless"  before God—this will be heaven indeed! Let us be joyful now as we rehearse the song of eternal praise so soon to roll forth in full chorus from all the blood washed host [army of believers] ; let us copy David's exultings [ feelings of great happiness and excitement] before the ark as a prelude to our ecstacies before the throne [of God].

EVENING   October 10th   
"AND I WILL DELIVER THEE OUT OF THE HAND OF THE WICKED, AND I WILL REDEEM THEE OUT OF THE HAND OF THE TERRIBLE. "—  Jeremiah 15:21

 

—Y librarte he de la mano de los malos, y te redimiré de la mano de los fuertes—Jeremías 15:21

                

NOTE the glorious personality of the promise.   I will, I will.    The Lord Jehovah Himself interposes to deliver and redeem His people. He pledges Himself personally to rescue them. His own arm shall do it, that He may have the glory. There is not a word said here of any effort of our own which may be needed to assist the Lord. Neither our strength, nor our weakness is taken into the account, but the lone I, like the sun in the heavens, shines out resplendent in all-sufficiency. Why then do we calculate our forces and consult with flesh and blood to our grievous wounding? Jehovah has power enough without borrowing from our puny [weak and skinny] arm. Peace, you unbelieving thoughts, be still, and

know that the Lord reigns.

 

            Nor is there a hint concerning secondary means and causes. The Lord says nothing of friends and helpers: He undertakes the work alone, and feels no need of human arms to aid Him.

 

            Vain [useless] are all our looking-arounds  to companions and relatives; they are broken reeds if we lean on them—often unwilling when able, and unable when they are willing. Since the promise comes alone from God, it would be well to wait only on Him; and when we do so, our expectation never fails us. Who are the wicked that we should fear them? 

 

            The Lord will utterly consume them; they are to be pitied rather than feared. As for terrible ones, they are terrors only to those who have no God to fly to, for when the Lord is on our side, whom shall we fear? 

 

           If we run into sin to please the wicked, we have cause to be alarmed, but if we hold fast our integrity, the rage of tyrants shall be overruled for our good. When the fish swallowed Jonah, he found him a morsel [Jonah] which he could not digest; and when the world devours the church, it is glad to be rid of it again [cannot digest it either]. In all times of fiery trial, in patience let us possess our souls [do right, and refuse to sin].

A SINNER’S PRAYER October 10th  (FOR WHOSOEVER):

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

  

 Pray and call on the name of the Lord Jesus and be saved   … won’t you? 

 
(Pray like this)
“Lord Jesus, I’m a lost sinner hopeless without You.  I would never be able to save myself. Without your death on the cross to pay my sin debt I would be condemned to spend eternity condemned in Hell. By nature  and  practice I am a natural-born sinner. I’m  totally depraved and  I sin because I am a sinner. Please forgive me.0

I realize that doing my best or being as good as possible, or being better than other people or having good excuses can never save me.
I look to You, alone  Lord Jesus to save me and I call on You right now to save me.  You died on the cross in my place to pay  for my sin. Your Word says,  “It shall come to pass that whosoever shall call on the name of the Lord shall be saved. Acts 2:21. Thank You, Lord.

     Right now, Lord Jesus, I come to You,  just as I am.   I’m trusting You to forgive me and save me. I look to you  as my Lord and Savior.
Please forgive me of all my sins. I’m sorry for each one. Without You, I am lost. Thank you, Lord,  for saving me.  You paid the price, in full,  for all of my sins and the sins of the whole world once for all by suffering and dying on the cross.  
Thank You that You loved me and died for me.

Thank you, Heavenly Father, for saving me.  Thank You that You  brought me to see Your love for me and that the wages of sin is death but eternal life is mine through the Lord Jesus Christ who suffered and died as the sacrifice  Lamb of God.  

 

     Thank You, Heavenly Father that you raised Jesus from the dead victorious over sin, death and the grave and that in Him I am now eternally born again.

I believe that You have saved me and will guide, comfort and instruct me by the Holy Spirit into all truth and that You will be conform me to the image of Your only begotten son, the Lord Jesus Christ, my Savior and Lord.

 

In the name of Jesus Christ I pray, Amen.

 

Please allow us to celebrate your new birth with you and the angels in heaven.  They rejoice in the redemption of each sinner who comes to the Lord Jesus.  Write us, won’t you?

Sing:  This Little Light of Mine  Children’s  Chorus  by JAMJAR   Sing-along won’t you?  This PRAISE music came to mind from today’s  ANECDOTE.

Better [to] have two lights than only one. The light of creation is a bright light. God may be seen in the stars; his name is written in gilt letters on the brow of night; you may discover his glory in the ocean waves, yea, in the trees of the field; but it is better to read it in two books than in one.

____________________________________________________

David Hocking (click here)   enlightens us  with  historical facts that make viewing  the case for the OLD KING JAMES VERSION; time well spent.

You will find it here [in the Bible] more clearly revealed; for he has written this book himself, and he has given you the key to understand it, through the Holy Spirit. Ah, beloved, let us thank God for this Bible; let us love it; let us count it more precious than much fine gold.

[The Authorized immutable King James Version, (AKJV) used  by Charles Spurgeon is
God’s preserved, and protected  inerrant and immutable Word.

 David Hocking  makes the case for the Protected translation of the Bible, and points out the textual errors of “Critical Text” and its erroneous Theory followed by all modern English translations due to Westcott and Hort’s inferior Greek Translation of the New Testament. Text that follows  incomplete and conflicting Greek manuscripts rather than the coherent and reliable Traditional Text [Received Text (Textus Receptus)] for the New Testament and the Masoretic Hebrew Text for the New and Old Testament respectively of the Authorized King James Bible.

“The Bible, The Whole Bible and Nothing but the Bible” is an  expression David Hocking favors and says often.

Behold Your God     Isaiah 40:9    with Dr. Peter Masters

https://metropolitantabernacle.org/sermons-online/behold-your-god/

Our society today knows so little about almighty God, having willfully shut Him out of all consideration. But look, says the Bible, at His attributes, ways and plans. Consider the uniqueness of God and compare His actions, plans and promises with those of human society.

TODAY’S SERMON:

From The Metropolitan Tabernacle (C.H. Spurgeon 1834-1892)
Duty and Fruits of Brotherly Love    1 John 4:7     with Dr. Peter Masters

From the warning against false teachers, the apostle turns again to the great duty of love to fellow believers, providing fourteen compelling reasons (with benefits) for honoring this obligation. Here love is defined, its actions and activities listed, and the reasons surveyed.

Do Muslims and Christians Worship the Same God?     NO! (Click HERE to find out why.)

 

The natural will is cold, hard iron, which cannot be hammered into form, but the renewed will, like molten metal, is soon molded by the hand of [God’s] grace. In the fleshy heart there is a tenderness of the affections.  

The hard heart does not love the Redeemer, but the renewed heart burns with affection towards Him. The hard heart is selfish and coldly demands, "Why should I weep for sin? Why should I love the Lord?"

 

But the heart of flesh says;

"Lord, You know that I love You; help me to love You more!"

 

Many are the privileges of this renewed heart;   " 'Tis [It is] here the [Holy] Spirit dwells, 'tis here that Jesus rests."  It is fitted to receive every spiritual blessing, and every blessing comes to it. It is prepared to yield every heavenly fruit to the honor and praise of God, and therefore the Lord delights in it.

 

A tender heart is the best defense against sin, and the best preparation for heaven. A renewed heart stands on its watchtower [on guard] looking for the coming of the Lord Jesus.

 

Have you [Do you have] this heart of flesh?

 

[Pray and Ask for it now,  won’t you?]

John 3:16 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.

The Incomplete and unsealed codices of Sinaiticus and Vaticanus are not majority texts, [Original Masoretic Hebrew and the Greek Textus Receptus]. Sinaiticus and Vaticanus present variant, ambiguous and erroneous readings rather than that of the well-established and settled texts. They disagree often with one another as well as with the settled majority texts. Thus, an attempt to create a pretext that will continue to justify a never-ending demand for additional editions and interpretations. These unsettled differences and bias in certain sectarian doctrine [dogma] have led to the production of multiple “modern” editions with ambiguities, many variant readings and confusion from the explosion of unending, new editions.

Profit-driven publishers have embraced such an economic windfall to sell a continual flow of “new and better” English edition of The Bible. They give too little attention to the fidelity and accuracy already settled [in heaven] in majority manuscripts of the Masoretic Hebrew and the  Greek Textus Receptus.

Psalm 119:89-90

ל Lamed

89 Forever, O LORD, thy word is settled in heaven.

90 Thy faithfulness is unto all generations:

thou hast established the earth, and it abideth [abides].

God, Himself, providentially protects and preserves His Word. His Word is the God-breathed, self-authenticating, immutable [unchanging and unchangeable], eternal, inerrant, infallible, infinite and all-powerful Word, settled in heaven. GOD is not the author of confusion.

1 Corinthians 14:33

Exodus 3:13-15 “13 And Moses said unto God, Behold, when I come unto the children of Israel, and shall say unto them, The God of your fathers hath sent me unto you; and they shall say to me, What is his name? what shall I say unto them? 14 And God said unto Moses, I AM THAT I AM: and he said, Thus shalt thou say unto the children of Israel, I AM hath sent me unto you. 15 And God said moreover unto Moses, Thus shalt thou say unto the children of Israel, The Lord God of your fathers, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob, hath sent me unto you: this is my name for ever, and this is my memorial unto all generations.”

Isaiah 9:6  For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given:
and the government shall be upon his shoulder:
and his name shall be called Wonderful,
Counsellor, The Mighty God, The Everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace.

Psalm 139:6

Authorized (King James) Version

6 Such knowledge is too wonderful for me;
it is high, I cannot attain unto it.”

 

 

(2 Two)  His Name is INFINITE!

Psalm 145:1-3
1 I will extol thee, my God, O king;
and I will bless thy name for ever and ever.
2 Every day will I bless thee;
and I will praise thy name for ever and ever.

3 Great is the Lord, and greatly to be praised;
and his greatness is unsearchable.

Romans 11:33
33 O the depth of the riches both of the wisdom and knowledge of God! how unsearchable are his judgments, and his ways past finding out!
 

(3 Three)   His Name is INCORRUPTABLE!

              (two issues:  holy  and eternal)

Psalm 72:17
“His name shall be continued as long as the sun: and men shall be blessed in Him: all nations shall call Him blessed.”

Psalm 99:3
“Let them praise Thy great and terrible name; for it is Holy.”

Psalm 111:9
“Holy and reverend is His name.”
Psalm 135:13
Thy Name, O LORD  endureth for ever; and Thy memorial,  O LORD, throughout all generations.”
Psalm 145:21
“Let all flesh bless His holy Name for ever and ever.”

 

(4 Four)  His name is IMMUTABLE! [Unchanged and unchangeable]

Malachi 3:6
“For I am the LORD, I change not.”

Hebrews 6:18
That by two immutable things, in which it was impossible for God to lie, we might have (1) a strong consolation, who have fled for refuge to lay hold upon (2) the hope set before us.”

 

(5 Five)  His name is INCOMPARABLE! [Without Equal]

Deuteronomy 4:35
“Unto thee it was shewed, that thou mightiest know that the LORD He is God;  there is none else beside Him.”

Deuteronomy 4:39
Know therefore this day, and consider it in thine heart, that the Lord he is God in heaven above, and upon the earth beneath: there is none else.

 

 (6 Six)   His Name is INDESCRIBABLE! [No description adequately describes HIM] 
 
El, Eloah, Elyon, Elohim, Adon, Adonai, - Yah, Yahveh
(The Names for GOD used 10,952 times in the Bible!)

Why Cults, False Teachers and Heretics have tried to delete 1 John 5:7
from the Bible.

In Defense of I John 5:7

Why The Traditional  Greek Text Also Known As The Received Text [Latin: Textus Receptus] TR is Inspired, Inerrant and Immutable.

By Dr. David Sorenson

In addition to overwhelming evidence of authenticity from the 5,321 Majority Text Greek manuscripts, this link gives Translational Evidence that proves the age of the Textus Receptus to be older than both the  Codices Sinaiticus and Vaticanus,
(The Primary Greek sources used in all Critical Text translations.)

This includes Westcott and Hort, Nestle and Aland and the Codices Sinaiticus and *Vaticanus.

*The final Greek Text so deemed, authorized and sanctioned by the Catholic Church and The Vatican.

The Lord Jesus *Christ  [The*Anointed Messiah]

was supernaturally Fathered by the Holy Ghost,  and born of a teen-aged virgin girl named  Mary 2026 years ago in Bethlehem of Judea.

He was crucified, and His lifeless body was placed in a tomb. After three days, GOD  brought Him back to life again, and raised HIM from the dead victorious over sin, death and the grave.

He is GOD’S Incarnate WORD and Everlasting SACRIFICE, The LAMB of GOD, [THE WORD of GOD made flesh.]  The CHURCH is the BODY of *Christ,
*[The MESSIAH.]

[The CHURCH] is His espoused [Legally Bound] Bride, for whom HE will come again to consummate their Marriage in the Marriag                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                  and Protected Words of GOD.
These WORDS are God-Breathed, [Spoken] Eternal WORDS spoken by Almighty GOD. The same GOD who calls Himself “I AM”, is Omni-Lingual, Omnipotent, Omniscient, Immutable, All-Wise, Omnipresent, Eternally and Supremely Holy. He is the One-and-Only Triune, Three-in-One GOD.

“I and my Father are one”.  John 10:30

________________________________
 

1 John 5:7  Is the fundamental scriptural  basis for the doctrine and essential tenet of the Trinity. [The Triune, [Three-in-One] GOD in-Three Persons   (This verse has been omitted or Changed to diminish the authority and the Person of the Lord Jesus Christ or has been Removed entirely from all Critical Text translations by apostates that hold to the untenable goal of False Doctrine that gives rise to all manner of Cults, False Teaching, Heresies, false Prophets, Agnostics, Gnostics, Atheists and  Pagans.

Therefore, The incarnate WORD of GOD, [Jesus *Christ
(*The Anointed MESSIAH) and His Father are ONE.]  John 10:30

7 For there are three that bear record in heaven, the Father, the Word, [Jesus Christ] and the Holy Ghost: and
THESE THREE ARE ONE. John 10:30

8 And there are three that bear witness in earth, the Spirit, [Holy Ghost] and the Water [Life of the Father], and the Blood; [The Sacrificial Blood of Jesus Christ]: and these three AGREE IN ONE. 9 If we receive the witness of men, the witness of God is greater: for this is the witness of God which he hath testified of his Son,  [The LORD Jesus *Christ
*(The Anointed Messiah)].

 

GOD calls Himself “I AM” and Jesus Christ is The WORD made Flesh, GOD’s WORD is infinite and will endure FOREVER, from Eternity Past through the never-ending Eternal Future.

Why Cults, False Teachers, Heretics and Critical Text adherents  have tried to take   1 John 5:7   out of the Holy Bible.     

 

By Dr. Phil Stringer

1 John 5:7 Is The Great Trinitarian Proof Text of The Bible. (That establishes the  immutable Doctrine of the Trinity.)

 

Daniel Webster [Writer of the Webster’s Dictionary] was once asked. “Does it not bother you to believe in the Trinity since you cannot explain it?

 

His answer was,  “What would bother me would be to have a God so small that I could fully explain Him.”

The Traditional Text: It's History & Manifestation

By Dr. David Sorenson

In addition to evidence of authenticity from the 5,321 Majority Text manuscripts, this link presents Translational Evidence that the Traditional Text is Inerrant, Infallible and is the Inspired [Word-by-Word, GOD-Breathed Greek Text that moved the Prophets and Apostles to write precisely the Greek and Hebrew words they were told to write by the Holy Ghost]

The Traditional Text.  Length: (33:56 minutes)

The Traditional Greek Text was printed, not written by Desiderius Erasmus and was used  in the FIRST Christian Church at Antioch. It was later called The Received Text [vis. Latin: The Textus Receptus TR]. 

Over Five Billion King James (1769 Edition) Bibles, [NOT the NEW King James Version which is based on the inferior Critical Greek Text] account for more sales world-wide than all other version or edition of the Holy Bible combined.

This is more than all other Bible Versions and Editions put-together.
______________________________________

 The Critical Text vs. The Traditional Text
(Also Known As The Received Text , The Textus Receptus  TR , and The Authorised Version AV and AKJV)

 

By Dr. David Sorenson

 

…So, Dr. Sorenson, “I hear You are King James Only.”
 
No, I’m Traditional Text only. But if you come to the view and the conviction of being Traditional Text only, you will be Only King James.

The issue is not translational.

Marketing ploys by publishing companies with little basis in reality would have us to believe that the new versions  are:
 

• Easier to read.

• More modern.

• More accurate (Not  true)
   

The truth is that the KJV remains The most popular. (is still the most popularly read Bible in America). Over five billion copies of the King James (1769) is greater than all the other versions and editions combined.

The issue comes down to the textual issue. By That, I refer to the underlying Greek text. I guess we could say texts, plural but particularly that of the New Testament. On the one hand is the Traditional Text from which the only major English translation is the King James Version of the Bible. The Traditional Text.

On the other hand, is the Critical Text sometimes called the eclectic text from whence all the other translations come. And some will say well there really is no difference between them. The difference you could amount to is just the footnotes in the bottom of a page. (This is Not true) He was not dishonest but just repeating what someone had told him.

Thank you, Lord, for DailySpurgeon.com  a website given by You to encourage and support personal devotions to the Lord Jesus. This ministry started with sending e-mails of Faith’s Checkbook by Charles H. Spurgeon to Jon Edward Riley and others he would add.. 

Jon was called home by his loving Father in Heaven on January 16, 2021.

His  memory is honored here, giving honor to whom honor is due. We pray that through this and all other instrumentalities that God may effect, many will be born again, challenged, encouraged, and supported to grow in personal devotion to the Lord Jesus Christ while being conformed to His image; that they might be the firstborn among many brethren.. Romans 13:7   Romans 8:28-29

 

A PRAYER OF GRATITUDE:  (Tribute to the BRAVE) by Jon Edward Riley, 

(February 12, 1971- January16, 2021)

From an Indigenous, Irish, well beloved All-American son giving a prayer of gratitude to the Lord for  a  “ Heart of Freedom”

INDIAN SCOUT POST NO 1 Burial grounds at White Shield, North Dakota.

… a compassionate prayer of gratitude, thanking the Lord for the Military Service of Native-American Scouts serving the United States of America. …the land of the free and the home of the Brave.

________________________________________

Jon loved to say, “I’m a blood bought, born-again child of God!” to anyone he happened to meet.

… Jon’s testimony is from one who, by grace through faith was forever accepted in the Beloved; who’s loving ways brought the good news of Jesus to many. and one who is present with the LORD in glory forever. One with whom we’ll one day meet again.

Amen.

Jon would sometimes just sing-out some of the following songs on the way to church, or sometimes just singing along with the Elvis Gospel CD that was always in our F-150’s CD player while riding with his Dad or,

Best of all, when an inspired, spontaneous praise from the Lord would just pop out from his joyful and loving heart.

The Life of King James  (Click Here forText)

 ORIGINAL SACRED LITERATURE:
The Pilgrim’s Progress,    by John Bunyan

Beginning at its  original publication in 1678 it has NEVER been out of print.

 

"All the flowers in God's garden are double." There is no single mercy. You may think you have but one mercy, but you shall find it to be a whole cluster of mercies. It is abounding mercy. Millions have received it, yet far from its being exhausted, it is as fresh, as full, and as free as ever. 

It is unfailing mercy. It will never leave you. If mercy is your friend, mercy will be with you in temptation to keep you from yielding; with you in trouble to prevent you from sinking; with you [in] living to be the light and life of your countenance; and with you [in]  dying  to be the joy of your soul when earthly comfort is ebbing fast [slipping away].

You may want to read the daily selections as a bed time story for you and your little ones. .

It’s the world’s most famous allegory and is  the all-time, world-wide best seller second only to the Bible. Some believe it to be the world’s first novel written in English.

 

It will bless, encourage  and instruct pilgrims (readers and seekers) of all ages for a life-time.

My Lord “Will-be-will” [Mr. Self-will] is a great blusterer, [one who roars loudly with empty threats, menaces or protests] and it is hard to subject him to God's will; but when the heart of flesh is given, the will quivers like an aspen leaf in every breath of heaven, and bows like a willow in every breeze of God's Spirit.

 

Mr.  Self-will  is a personification  in The Pilgrim’s Progress

(The world’s  most widely read and most famous Allegory written by John Bunyan in 1678 and has NEVER been out of print.)
