Clue ABout Their KJB?
|
Why KJB folks won't consider "Paul ONLY"
Comments on audio only concerning the recent Homeland Security Analysis
Assessment of potential violence from folks like you and me:
HOMELAND
SECURITY WARNS OF 'RIGHT WING RADICALS'
-
against high taxes;
-
support for or are a military vet;
-
against global warming;
-
against gun control and the coming gun owning restrictions;
-
against a black president;
-
against constitutional changes in government workings;
-
talk about global 'one world / new world order dangers;
-
against expansion of social programs to minorities;
-
against immigration citizenship;
-
critical of free trade agreements;
-
against government infringement on civil liberties
-
abortion
-
inter-racial crimes
-
same-sex marriages;
-
entertaining anti-government conspiracy theories
-
'end times" prophecies;
-
stockpiling food,
-
storing ammunition and weapons;
-
members of groups such as Christian Identity organizations
-
including right-wing extremists as well as law-abiding Americans;
-
concerned about constitutional rights debates.
This is exactly how they talk in the report!
-
...there are no serious cases of violence - YET.
-
...they have no specific information of any plans, etc. BUT they may
be gathering!
-
...they are all rhetorical, nevertheless they could in the near future!
-
...There are 'some' similarities to the 90's when there was an economic
recession...
-
criticism about the outsourcing of jobs
-
...and the perceived threat to U.S. power and sovereignty by other foreign
powers.
Quote: Right-wing extremism in the United States
can be broadly divided into those groups, movements, and adherents that
are primarily hate-oriented (based on hatred of particular religious,
racial or ethnic groups), and those that are mainly antigovernment,
rejecting federal authority in favor of state or local authority, or
rejecting government authority entirely. It may include groups and
individuals that are dedicated to a single issue, such as opposition
to abortion or immigration.
If you suspect any suspicious activity, call ... (BR549)
So, for any reason, even if untrue, someone could make a call against
you or our church, etc.
So, are we a hate group, too?
To the government, of course!
-
How have serious Christians been treated in the past?
-
How did they treat 'Christians' during the middle ages when they had the
Bible first printed?
-
How did they treat Jesus when He was here in the Gospels?
-
How did they treat the apostles during the Great Commission?
-
How did they treat Paul with the 'gospel' he was preaching?
-
How will they treat Jews during the Tribulation?
-
Ok, so why would we want to try to be the 'peace keepers' and follow the
Gospel of Jesus from the Gospels themselves...
-
...when it didn't work then?
-
Ok, so why would we want to try to follow the apostles doctrine from Acts
1-8 and try to have favor with all the people! Acts
2:47...
-
...when it didn't work then?
-
Ok, so why would we try to be treated like they will be treated during
the Tribulation - or act and teach like these are those days - Hebrews
to Jude...
-
...when it will take the Spirit of God upon their
flesh to accomplish their walk!
-
Ok, so why would we try to imitate any of those, including Paul,
and be treated the same way these days?
-
We don't!
-
We are learning to follow the RISEN CHRIST according to Paul, the one apostle
that God has called to put forth the Dispensation of Grace and the gospel
of peace!
-
We preach one Bible, one salvation, one God, one baptism, one Spirit, etc.
-
What is so dangerous about that?
-
Nothing - especially when one finds out what Jesus Christ did not only
ON the Cross but after the Cross, too!
It is still in the Christian walk to have to suffer today, though!
-
Paul says to us:
-
II Timothy 2:3 - Thou
therefore endure hardness, as a good soldier of Jesus Christ.
-
I Timothy 4:10 - For
therefore we both labour and suffer reproach, because we trust in the
living God, who is the Saviour of all men, specially of those that
believe.
-
II Thessalonians 1:3-5 - We
are bound to thank God always for you, brethren, as it is meet, because
that your faith groweth exceedingly, and the charity of every one of you
all toward each other aboundeth; So that we ourselves glory in you in the
churches of God for your patience and faith in all your persecutions and
tribulations that ye endure: Which is a manifest token of the righteous
judgment of God, that ye may be counted worthy of the kingdom of God,
for which ye also suffer:
-
Charity number one?
-
- King James Bible, Rightly divided over-rides charity
today!
-
I Corinthians 13:10, 12,13
-
And it isn't the tribulation persecution that we have to worry about, either!
-
I Thessalonians 5:9 - For
God hath not appointed us to wrath, but to obtain salvation by our Lord
Jesus Christ,
So, it is inevitable!
-
Look at what Paul says ,,,
-
II Timothy 3:12 - Yea,
and all that will live godly in Christ Jesus shall suffer persecution.
-
II Corinthians 1:8 -
For we would not, brethren, have you ignorant of our trouble which came
to us in Asia, that we were pressed out of measure, above strength,
insomuch that we despaired even of life:
-
II Corinthians 4:8,9 - We
are troubled on every side, yet not distressed; we are perplexed,
but not in despair; Persecuted, but not forsaken; cast down,
but not destroyed;
-
But he kept on - He didn't quit!
-
Listen to the audio comments on these verses - there is some great application
in these verses!
-
Paul trying for a third time to tell someone of the
Risen Christ!
-
II Corinthians 12:14-13:14
-
...having begun in the Spirit, are ye now made
perfect by the flesh?
-
an enemy for telling the truth?
-
Have those that claim to be "KJB people" even read their KJB?
-
If so, and they truly want to 'follow Jesus' teachings in their daily lives,
then why the rebellion today!
-
Matthew 5:25,26
- Agree with thine adversary quickly,
whiles thou art in the way with him; lest at any time the adversary
deliver thee to the judge, and the judge deliver thee to the officer,
and thou be cast into prison. Verily I say unto thee, Thou shalt by no
means come out thence, till thou hast paid the uttermost farthing.
-
Matthew 5:38-45 - Ye
have heard that it hath been said, An eye for an eye, and a tooth for a
tooth: But I say unto you, That ye resist not evil: but whosoever
shall smite thee on thy right cheek, turn to him the other also. And if
any man will sue thee at the law, and take away thy coat, let him have
thy cloke also. And whosoever shall compel thee to go a mile, go with him
twain. Give to him that asketh thee, and from him that would borrow of
thee turn not thou away. Ye have heard that it hath been said, Thou shalt
love thy neighbour, and hate thine enemy. But I say unto you, Love your
enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and
pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you; That ye
may be the children of your Father which is in heaven: for he maketh
his sun to rise on the evil and on the good, and sendeth rain on the just
and on the unjust.
-
They challenge people who disagree with them but
won't listen to their Scriptural response - they demand freedoms - not
pay taxes - ignore licensing laws, marriage licenses, etc.
-
They actually go against what they 'say' they believe
if they believe they need to follow Jesus' teachings from the Gospels
today!
So, Why Do So Many Hate the thought
of following Paul "ONLY!"
-
Why must they insist mixing the whole bible!
-
claiming II Timothy 3:16,17
means the whole Bible is TO them!
-
ignoring II Timothy 2:15,16
or rightly dividing verse by verse according to the school from where they
graduated.
-
not understanding Romans 15:4 - For
whatsoever things were written aforetime were written for our learning,
that we through patience and comfort of the scriptures might have hope.
-
they probably haven't even read it, anyway?
-
Salvations are different throughout the entire Bible?
-
build an ark?
-
circumcision for males?
-
works with animal sacrifice to cover the sins?
-
believe that Jesus was the Messiah, that Christ, their Messiah
-
faith and trust in Him and what the KJB says?
-
enduring to the end by keeping the commandments of God and keeping the
faith of Jesus?
-
They frustrate the grace of God!
-
Galatians 2:21
- I do not frustrate the grace of God: for if righteousness come by the
law, then Christ is dead in vain.
-
It was not and will NOT be the age of grace ever except for during Paul's
teachings!
-
Do they even know what 'grace' means?
-
Titus 3:3-7 - For
we ourselves also were sometimes foolish, disobedient, deceived, serving
divers lusts and pleasures, living in malice and envy, hateful, and hating
one another. But after that the kindness and love of God our Saviour
toward man appeared, Not by works of righteousness which we have done,
but according to his mercy he saved us, by the washing of regeneration,
and renewing of the Holy Ghost; Which he shed on us abundantly through
Jesus Christ our Saviour; That being justified by his grace, we should
be made heirs according to the hope of eternal life.
-
They are not aware of the strength of grace!
-
They are not aware of the power of God's grace!
-
They are not aware of all that grace has done for AND to them!
-
Theirs is an earthly kingdom message mixed with a future make-believe 'heavenly'
destination - not knowing what that really means...!
-
They preach the judgment of God and ignore the goodness of God?
-
They look for and signs while they still even preach that signs are for
Jews only?
-
They all develop a pride in that they believe that "I am what I am"
is because of their education, their holiness, their confession along with
their marvelous faith, hope and charity - and of course, the greatest in
their walk is their charity - SO they believe that God blesses them physically!
-
I Timothy 6:17 - Charge
them that are rich in this world, that they be not highminded, nor
trust in uncertain riches, but in the living God, who giveth us
richly all things to enjoy;
-
We 'should be' humble because "I am what I am" is only by God's
grace!
-
I Corinthians 15:10 - But
by the grace of God I am what I am: and his grace which was bestowed
upon me was not in vain; but I laboured more abundantly than they all:
yet not I, but the grace of God which was with me.
-
"Paul Only" belief takes Gods' supposed 'leading'
and 'private understanding' away from them!
-
Again, see I Corinthians
13:8
along with I Corinthians 1:9-16
-
That is all pre-I
Corinthians 13:10 - KJB.
-
Now that leading and understanding comes from a KJB!
-
They have no clue about the new creature they were
made to be!
-
Ephesians 2:10 - For
we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good
works, which God hath before ordained that we should walk in them.
-
II Corinthians 5:17 -
Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things
are passed away; behold, all things are become new.
-
Galatians 6:15 - For
in Christ Jesus neither circumcision availeth any thing, nor uncircumcision,
but a new creature.
-
This new creature:
-
dead to sin
-
sin is not imputed to
-
is already in heaven
-
is cut away from the flesh
-
has Christ in him and is in Christ
-
trusts the KJB as God's mouth!
-
knows the new man must be put on by choice!
-
knows the voice!
-
wants to tell others!
-
changes their own lives first!
-
is the temple of the Holy Ghost!
-
can't stumble
-
needs no confession to stay clean
-
can now please God
-
can now have fellowship with God
-
etc. etc.
-
Paul challenges their foundation for salvation!
-
I Corinthians 3:10 - According
to the grace of God which is given unto me, as a wise masterbuilder, I
have laid the foundation, and another buildeth thereon. But let every
man take heed how he buildeth thereupon.
-
II Timothy 2:8 - Remember
that Jesus Christ of the seed of David was raised from the dead according
to my gospel:
-
Going "Paul Only" takes away their 'church' and 'pastoral'
authority that they are addicted to.
-
They have to go to Hebrews
for that one!
-
Hebrews 13:17 -
Obey them that have the rule over you, and submit yourselves: for they
watch for your souls, as they that must give account, that they may do
it with joy, and not with grief: for that is unprofitable for you.
-
Hebrews 10:25
- Not forsaking the assembling of ourselves
together, as the manner of some is; but exhorting one another: and so much
the more, as ye see the day approaching.
-
They would rather have a pastor than an evangelist!
-
II Timothy 4:5 -
But watch thou in all things, endure afflictions, do the work of an evangelist,
make full proof of thy ministry.
-
They have no clue about their Bible!
-
They have no idea what it says from the beginning
to the end, let alone what is in the middle!
-
Don't read!
-
Won't read!
-
Can't read!
-
So, they are already what the tribulation folks will
be - people followers!
-
Jude 16 - These
are murmurers, complainers, walking after their own lusts; and their mouth
speaketh great swelling words, having men's persons in admiration because
of advantage.

The
entire King James Bible is written FOR us, but it is not all written TO
us!
We
learn from the "For" and we try to apply the 'TO!"
