Grace and peace to you in the Holy Spirit from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.
This afternoon, I sat here and read more through the Scriptures, the KJV Bible. I ventured into Proverbs 26, and as I read, I began to simply do a comparison between the KJV and some modern translations, even those who claim to be "more accurate" than the preserved KJV. What I found, especially about verse 10, simply made me lose ALL confidence in trusting my soul to almost anything other than what is preserved in the KJV Bible. Allow me to show you.
I have time and again put my trust, not in that which men have invented and changed, but in the inspired and preserved KJV Bible. This simply added more fuel to the fire. But, the question would come forth as to why these modern versions would absolutely change this one verse of the Scripture. Then I began to contemplate what all I had seen being presented as truth online:The great God that formed all things both rewardeth the fool, and rewardeth transgressors. Proverbs 26:10 (KJV)
Like an archer who wounds everyone, So is he who hires a fool or who hires those who pass by. Proverbs 26:10 (NASB)
Like an archer who wounds everyone is one who hires a passing fool or drunkard. Proverbs 26:10 (ESV)
An employer who hires a fool or a bystander is like an archer who shoots at random. Proverbs 26:10 (NLT)
- The denial of a literal Hell
- The denial of a literal devil
- The denial of the judgment of God
- The changing of God's nature to more of Santa than YHWH
- The elimination of any mention of repentance
- The changing of the meaning of the word repentance to simply changing a mind instead of turning from sin.
All of these and more keep pointing to one serious situation in modern Christianity, and that is a total denial of God's justice. It is an assault against His divine justice, His holiness, His wrath against sin, and His call to truly repent of sin. It is an affront against the very truth of the depravity of sin, and the wickedness of men, and how God will deal with all those who reject His grace and mercy. It is an attack against the call to repent of sins, or face what He has already judged and sentenced.
This is ongoing in much of social media Christianity. They want people to be more accepting of Jesus, but not the whole Jesus. They want to make Jesus popular, but not the Bible Jesus. They do so by making sin accepted and excused, and eliminate from their spiritual vocabulary such words as repent, as justice, and as judgment. They make Jesus a simple "Get out of Hell free" card, and instead of heeding the call to holiness, give the lost shock absorbers on their trip to condemnation and damnation. And as such, we have goats masked as sheep, instead of sheep and goats being converted.He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God. John 3:18 (KJV)
He that believeth on the Son hath everlasting life: and he that believeth not the Son shall not see life; but the wrath of God abideth on him. John 3:36 (KJV)
One of the biggest lies these modern false preachers teach is that God is not mad at anyone, and that He no longer has judgment. What they fail to mention is that while God does love the world, our sins have separated us from Him. His anger is not for the believer, but His wrath abides on those who are not believers, those who refuse to repent. Need proof?
Folks, if you have bought these lies, repent and turn back to God. I encourage you to rid your life (not just your houses or cars, but the entirety of your spiritual being) of these false modern versions of the Bible. Come back to the Way, the Bible way, the Way of Holiness. Come out, be separated unto God, and He will receive you.He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God. John 3:18 (KJV)
There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit. Romans 8:1 (KJV)
Shalom and Maranatha.
