But I fear, lest by any means, as the serpent
beguiled Eve through his subtilty,
so your minds should be corrupted from
the simplicity that is in Christ.
II Corinthians 11:3
Salvation seems so complicated these days:
baby baptism, immersion water baptism, speaking in tongues, join a church, take communion, confirmation class, making a commitment to Christ, asking Jesus into your heart, confess your sins, stop sinning, love everybody, agree to disagree, etc.New bibles complicate it: "everyone who believes will not die but have eternal life... John 3:16?
New bibles complicate it: "It's terribly hard to get into God's kingdom..." Mark 10:24
New bibles complicate it: harder level of reading; doctrines changed & removed, etc.
New bibles complicate it: "difficult is the way..." Matthew 7:14
New bibles complicate it: a few versions already tell people TO take the mark of the beast! Revelation 13:18 - NLT; Ephesians 1:13 - NIV
New bibles complicate it: the Message bible brings in the New Age - the spirit of antichrist blatantly and makes Christ a master who wears a lotus wreath and is called the Green One! The modern bibles are preparing the world for the arrival of the antichrist in Revelation 6 and for the harvest of the tares to be bundled for burning! Matthew 13:24-30

It is by faith that we stand!
By whom also we have access by faith into
this grace wherein we stand,
and rejoice in hope of the glory of God.
Romans 5:2
That your faith should not stand in the wisdom
of men, but in the power of God.
I Corinthians 2:5
Watch ye, stand fast in the faith, quit you
like men, be strong.
I Corinthians 16:13
Not for that we have dominion over your faith,
but are helpers of your joy: for by faith ye stand.
II Corinthians 1:24
by faith, we stand, not sight - and it is HIS faith, not ours!
And be found in him, not having mine own
righteousness, which is of the law,
but that which is through the faith of
Christ, the righteousness which is of God by faith:
Philippians 3:9
