1. God's Word IS, like God is the I AM, never to change
2. Those in it, cover to cover, received it as the Word of God, cover to cover, as we should, cover to cover
3. The Scriptures claim to be from God Himself, all of them
4. We are to meditate on them, in order to obey them, all that is written therein, for the Jews it was prosperity and success for obedience, for us it is spiritual blessing, for eternity and in this life
5. "Search the Scriptures which have life, if we believe them, as Jesus is in them, the Lord of Life, the Giver of life
6. God is clearly telling us that the Scriptures and the Holy Ghost in us is all we need to know them, know Him, that they are not the words of men, that we in fact need the Holy Ghost or we will not understand them and they will be foolishness to us
7. I purposely left out the references to some of the points below in this study and the points made herein, so that you can find each and every one for yourself in Scripture. It is a worthwhile study to do so, like digging for gold and diamonds, or a pearl of great price.

• The Word of God is quick (alive)
• The Word of God is active
• The Word of God is sharper than any two edged sword
• Every word of the Word of God is pure
• Every word of the Word of God is preserved for us
• Every word of the Word of God is able to divide us
• Every word of the Word of God is able to discern all that is within us
• Every word of the Word of God is in a book, always was, is, always will be
• The Word of God will judge the world
• The Word of God is placed by God above His Name
• The Word of God is not to be altered
• The Word of God is not to be added to
• The Word of God is not to be subtracted from
• The Word of God, the Word of the LORD, declares itself to be just that hundreds of times
• The Word of God says it itself is perfect, seven times pure, holy, every word
• The Word of God says it is finished, not to be tampered with, OR ELSE!
• The Word of God says that it is finished, not lost, not to be added to, not to be subtracted from, not to be altered
• The Word of God says God speaks any language He chooses to, as God invented all languages, and God speaks English
• The Word of God says God can translate from and to any tongue He wishes-HE IS GOD
• The Word of God says it spoke to pharaoh
• The Word of God declares it was written to us common people, not "scholars"
• The Word of God firmly declares, states, says that it is placed by God Himself above God's own Name
• The Word of God clearly says that God, not man, will preserve His word and words, every last one of them, in a book, forever, certainly not even hinted in it that God would inspire His Word and words, then somehow lose it, and later on (like today?) man would recover it, restore it
• The Word of God clearly says that there has always been an attack on the Word of God since the garden, until today
• The Word of God states that it has been in a book, not scrolls, parchments, rolls, manuscripts, Genesis to Revelation, consistently
• The Word of God clearly says that we get saved according to the words in that book, the Word of God
• The Word of God states that all of mankind will be judged by that book one day (Revelation 20:12)
• The Word of God states that it is not in the words of man, but which the Spirit teaches
• It says that man in his flesh will not understand it, grasp it, but needs the Spirit of God to get it
• All of the smarts, all of the sheepskin, all of the education in the world, combined, means nothing to God Who wrote His Word for us, therefore it means the same to me.
• All of the smarts, all of the sheepskin, all of the education in the world, combined, does nothing to enable anyone to correct God and His Word

• The Bible correctors are to be rejected
• They have utter chutzpah, audacity, unmitigated gall, unbelievable nerve and arrogance to even think they can correct the Word of God-THEN COPYRIGHT AND MAKE $$$$$$$$$$$$$ from it!
  Even Balaam is wiser:
  (Numbers 24:13 [AKJV/PCE])
  If Balak would give me his house full of silver and gold, I cannot go beyond the commandment of the LORD, to do either good or bad of mine own mind; but what the LORD saith, that will I speak?

• On top of that, they will stand before audiences and tell God He is wrong!
• On top of that also, they will stand before God and be judged by that same book they reject because of their arrogance, their chutzpah, unmitigated gall and nerve and will be found liars, every one! (Proverbs 30:5-6)

• People want us to not argue, be sheeple, sit there like a bump on a log and say nothing while "scholars" tear down the Word of God and make believe that they are giving it clarity, teaching from it, that they believe it, all the while they merely try to correct it, deceiving people
• They claim we have no authority because they "have a degree and we do not", somehow making them the wiser. It does not
• Paul said he was not ashamed to correct and confront them, nor ashamed of the gospel (Romans 1:16)
• Paul said he would not be ashamed, and he would take care of those who falsely accused him while he was not there. He was going to set them straight-TO THEIR FACE
• Paul said that, if they think I am only this way when I am away from them, then wait, just wait, until I get there
• Paul said that he was not interested in what the majority think ("of the number"), so "go ahead and measure your wisdom by your buddies with their 'degrees', which colleges they all went to, their alma maters; I will stick to God and His Word, study it, learn wisdom from it, teach it, memorize it and try to live by it"
• Paul did not care, we should never care, nor be intimidated, as we have that exact same Word of God and do not need them or their "scholarship' to understand it.
• The "clarity" they claim they can offer with "the original language" is easily found in two things: The context and a good, old, Webster's dictionary (1828 is online, free)

• The "scholars" are very much in a stronghold, like a leg hold trap that they seem not to be able to escape, and want us to be in, so they can openly display their "intellectual superiority" and then be able to make believe that they are going to tell us what God's Word is (they do not know), then what is exactly says, then what it exactly means "in the original language(s)"
• They have quite the imagination as well
• They have "higher education" which is a high thing that exalts itself against the knowledge of God
• God says to pull down those strongholds, using His Sword, not ours, as His is mighty
• God says to "cast those imaginations and high things down", tread and trample them into powder and throw them into the rubbish bin
• Finally, "and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ;", meaning that we are to do what Jesus did, not what the scholars do. He TAUGHT, did not CHANGE THE WORD OF GOD, spoke boldly, not mincing words, like they aim to do with their 'higher education", trying to intimidate those who reject their evil and wicked ways ("What is your degree in?" "What degree do you have?" "What college or university do you go to that you can say that?")

• Most people rejected God throughout Scripture.
• Most people died in the Flood
• Most people will follow the anti-Christ
• Most of Israel did not follow God
• Most of the time this was true
• Most people in Laodicea do not follow God
• Most of the seven churches in Revelation do not follow God
• Most of the Jews rejected Christ
• Most of the Gentiles in Rome did also
• Most of the sheep were scattered when Jesus was arrested
• Most people will not make it to heaven
• Most Christians do not believe the Scriptures fully, cover to cover, as written, as truth
• Most churches do not preach the entire Scriptures, cover to cover, and believe them
• Most Christians believe a lot of false doctrine about a lot of things in the Scriptures
• Most Christians do not read much of their Scriptures as it is
• Most Christians are never even discipled; they just "go to church"
• Most Christian churches in America are under the belief that they need and want a "scholarly" leader to tell them what "the original ________________ " says and means
• Most of anything is mostly never a good thing to be included in, "mostly", but especially so when it comes to biblical doctrines. It is best to study it for yourself

• Calling God "G-d" or "Yeshua" or "Yahweh", or "Mashiach" or "Yehovah" is not something taught in God's Word
• The King James Bible does not say "YAHWEH" because it is "JHVH" and not "YHWH", which stands for "Jehovah", not "YAHWEH"
• The Hebrew word is translated three different ways in the King James, as LORD, as GOD, and as JEHOVAH.
• The name Jehovah is found seven times in the Bible, the perfect number for God
• "JEHOVAH" appears in the Tyndale 1530 Bible, the Bishop's Bible 1568, the Geneva Bible of 1599, the Syriac Peshitta and other Bibles
• The very Name of "Jesus" means "JEHOVAH is Salvation”, not "Yahweh is Salvation"
• Ask yourself: Do I call my LORD and Saviour, in my own language God gave to me, JESUS? OR "YAHWESUS"? OR "YAHSUS"? Or "YEHSUS"?

• 1. (Genesis 22:14 [KJV])
     And Abraham called the name of that place Jehovahjireh: as it is said to this day, In the mount of the LORD it shall be seen.

  2. (Exodus 6:3 [KJV])
     And I appeared unto Abraham, unto Isaac, and unto Jacob, by the name of God Almighty, but by my name JEHOVAH was I not known to them.
  3. The word JAH appears only one time in Scripture, in Psalm 68:4: (Psalms 68:4 [KJV])
     Sing unto God, sing praises to his name: extol him that rideth upon the heavens by his name JAH, and rejoice before him.
     it is three letters, representing the Trinity

  4. God's Name JEHOVAH, in all capital letters, appears four times in the Old Testament (Exodus 6:3; Psalms 83:18; Isaiah 12:2 and 26:4). The name JESUS in in capital letters appears exactly four times in the New Testament (Matthew 1:21, 25; 27:37; and John 19:19. Four is the number of the earth and JEHOVAH God Himself has come to this earth to save His people from their sins.
     (Exodus 6:3 [KJV])
     And I appeared unto Abraham, unto Isaac, and unto Jacob, by the name of God Almighty, but by my name JEHOVAH was I not known to them.
     This is simply because previously, to Moses, when he asked God to say who was sending him to free them from Egyptian slavery, God said,
     (Exodus 3:14 [KJV])
     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.
     (Psalms 83:18 [KJV])
     That men may know that thou, whose name alone is JEHOVAH, art the most high over all the earth.
     (Isaiah 12:2 [KJV])
     Behold, God is my salvation; I will trust, and not be afraid: for the LORD JEHOVAH is my strength and my song; he also is become my salvation.
     (Isaiah 26:4 [KJV])
     Trust ye in the LORD for ever: for in the LORD JEHOVAH is everlasting strength:
     (Matthew 1:21 [KJV])
     And she shall bring forth a son, and thou shalt call his name JESUS: for he shall save his people from their sins.
     (Matthew 1:25 [KJV])
     And knew her not till she had brought forth her firstborn son: and he called his name JESUS.
     (Matthew 27:37 [KJV])
     And set up over his head his accusation written, THIS IS JESUS THE KING OF THE JEWS.
     (John 19:19 [KJV])
     And Pilate wrote a title, and put it on the cross. And the writing was, JESUS OF NAZARETH THE KING OF THE JEWS.
     It is interesting that the number four is the number of earth, where JEHOVAH God, JESUS came and died for our sins.

DO WHAT JESUS DID: PRAY TO GOD THE FATHER, ABBA

People will say, "I want to use the language that Jesus used when He spoke to the Father, talk like Jesus, pray like Jesus in the Spirit did when Jesus spoke to the Father, and Jesus spoke Hebrew, so it would be best if I spoke in Hebrew like Jesus". Did Jesus say "Yahweh" here when He prayed? Other verses? Never. Father, Abba, like we are to do (Galatians 4:6, Romans 8:15 above) Even when Jesus taught the disciples to pray, He said, "Our Father", not "YAHWEH". And this right here, these verses? Are in Greek, not even in Hebrew. (Mark 14:36 [KJV])
And he said, Abba, Father, all things are possible unto thee; take away this cup from me: nevertheless not what I will, but what thou wilt.
(Romans 8:15 [KJV])
For ye have not received the spirit of bondage again to fear; but ye have received the Spirit of adoption, whereby we cry, Abba, Father.
(Galatians 4:6 [KJV])
And because ye are sons, God hath sent forth the Spirit of his Son into your hearts, crying, Abba, Father.
(Matthew 6:9 [KJV])
After this manner therefore pray ye: Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name.
(Luke 11:2 [KJV])
And he said unto them, When ye pray, say, Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done, as in heaven, so in earth.
(Luke 23:46 [KJV])
And when Jesus had cried with a loud voice, he said, Father, into thy hands I commend my spirit: and having said thus, he gave up the ghost.
This is throughout he Gospels, when Jesus prayed.

THE ACTS 2 EXAMPLE: PETER SPEAKING TO THE CROWD

• God gave us all languages (Genesis 10)
• God gave us languages to call upon His Name (Acts 2)
• God gave you your language, to use, not another, unknown language (except by "scholars"-they do not know it either) to use, that you do not understand
(Acts 2:9-11 [KJV])
Parthians, and Medes, and Elamites, and the dwellers in Mesopotamia, and in Judaea, and Cappadocia, in Pontus, and Asia, Phrygia, and Pamphylia, in Egypt, and in the parts of Libya about Cyrene, and strangers of Rome, Jews and proselytes, Cretes and Arabians, we do hear them speak in our tongues the wonderful works of God.
(Acts 2:21 [KJV])
And it shall come to pass, that whosoever shall call on the name of the Lord shall be saved.
Peter is speaking in all of their own languages (Genesis 11:7), from the list above, and they are hearing him say "whosoever shall call on the name of the Lord". In what language? Their own language, in every single instance. Different languages, as none of them spoke in Hebrew and Greek, as Peter preached to them after, speaking tongues, not Hebrew, not Greek, but their own individual tongues that they understood, every one listed. We speak English, so for us it is English. And, in our English Bible? It is written "JEHOVAH". God wants us to worship Him in our language, English, not Hebrew or Greek. In ENGLISH, it is ABBA, Father and Jehovah. It is never Yahweh.

History of YAHWEH

Job and Abraham around this same time
• Job chapter 1: Assyria, Egypt, Babylonia
• Land of Uz, Job (chapter 1)
• Ur of the Chaldees, Abram (Genesis 11), at a time after chapter 12, as a summary, not a timeline here. Terah dies here
• The time of Nimrod

• (Genesis 22:21 [KJV])
  Huz his firstborn, and Buz his brother, and Kemuel the father of Aram,

• (Job 32:2 [KJV])
  Then was kindled the wrath of Elihu the son of Barachel the Buzite, of the kindred of Ram: against Job was his wrath kindled, because he justified himself rather than God.

• (Genesis 12:1 [KJV])
  Now the LORD had said unto Abram, Get thee out of thy country, and from thy kindred, and from thy father's house, unto a land that I will shew thee: This is before the events of Genesis 11, not after

• Terah told Abraham to take Lot (NOT AFTER TERAH'S DEATH!) Abram took Lot, who had
• Theory: Abram took YAHWEH from the pagans in the desert as his god
• Fact: No evidence internally, just a red herring, a lie made up to promote the use of "YAHWEH"
• Why is that false?
  (Exodus 6:3 [KJV])
  And I appeared unto Abraham, unto Isaac, and unto Jacob, by the name of God Almighty, but by my name JEHOVAH was I not known to them.

• So, if Abram actually took YAHWEH, even THEN it was not even known to him, Abraham, Isaac, Jacob. Your choice. But it says JEHOVAH, Who had previously been known as the I AM that I AM
• So do you believe the Bible or the liberal "scholars"? I believe God's Word, as written, in English
• The believers who think "YAHWEH" is correct will say that it is the word for the "LORD", or the "LORD God". It is not
• Among the many places this word appears in Exodus 17:16 is The Word of Yah 1993, New Jerusalem Bible 1985, The Natural Israelite Bible 2012, Interlinear Hebrew Old Testament, Strong's Hebrew Lexicon
• THE LORD is THE LORD. That is what it translated to, so there is no need to correct it to some pagan god's foreign language name.
• One must ALWAYS be consistent in their thinking. If a word is not in there in the English Bible, it was not there in the original as translated through the languages into English, over the ages, and we are not allowed to say it was lost or that it was added by men, or try to correct it (Proverbs 30:5-6, Deuteronomy 4:2, Revelation 22:18-19)
• Otherwise, we can change, edit, alter, claim anything WE want, only that makes it OUR word, not God's. Makes US the Final Authority, not God.
• And look, what do you know. That is precisely what is happening with the "scholars" since the time of Paul, through to Westcott and Hort, James Strong, Vine, Strong, Wuest, Thayer, Berry, and Zodhiates and on to the NIV, NASB, NKJV, etc. today!
• In the English alphabet of the early 1600s, the letter "J" was an "I", the letter "u" was a "v" in handset typing on a Guttenberg printing press, strenuous, arduous work just for one page. In the original 1611 KJV it reads this way. So? The letter J is written as an I, and the letter u is written as a v in 1611. There is no change in the pronunciation, the sound at all as it is, so no actual change in the name from "IESVS" to JESUS! You read it the same aloud. I did that in the 90s in a Bible study group in my house out of a hardcover 1611 KJV, page after page for a long time and not one person even noticed!
• Now add to that the fact that "YAHWEH" is not in any way "Jehovah", no matter how you slice it, say it, they are two different beings, one the real, true God, one a false god.
• The very basis and foundation of the KJV Old Testament is the Masoretic text, not the "scholars" and their "biblical texts"
• The Masoretes themselves translated YHWH as JEHOVAH, never YAHWEH for a very simple reason: That was the correct translation, and they knew it
• In Hebrew phonetics, every other word with the same character is pronounced with a "J" sound not a "Y" sound, so WHY only this ONE word?
• There is the Masoretic text underlying the King James only, no other "modern "version", which these self-proclaimed "scholars" want to correct, supplant it with their (2 Peter 1:20) private doctrines, privately interpreted
• This means that even the secular, liberal Jewish word says that Judah/Israel got that name from the pagan cultures around them, not from God Himself in His Word
• The very earliest mention of this "Yahweh is in Egyptian texts that say he came from the nomads of the south Trans-jordan desert area
• This whole "YAHWEH" nonsense started with a much more modern "scholar" named Heinrich Friedrich Wilhelm Gesenius (3 February 1786 – 23 October 1842) invented YAHWEH, a "textual critic" much like these arrogant clowns today, who do not believe in a perfect, pure, complete Word of God in ANY language and think they can correct, emend, restore and recover it, one day (maybe)
  1. Based upon "various Greek transcriptions". That means it was a theory based upon ON GREEK, not HEBREW-a massive error! No Hebrew
  2. Based upon various cultures "theophoric" names, ie. named after their given to them after their god (not the Jewish culture, but all other different worldwide pagan cultures) No Hebrew again
  3. Based upon a Samaritan pronunciation of "YABE" in their own writings. No Hebrew
  4. No Hebrew foundation whatsoever was used at all, ever, for this crazy, pagan, religious idea!
  5. His theory was that the Masoretes used "Adonai" a word they could speak out loud, as the basis for the "Jehovah" from "YHWH"
  6. His sources were all "Greek transcriptions" from the first century AD, not ancient Masoretic texts from thousands of years before. Hardly honesty, hardly proper
  7. In those GREEK texts, they said it was "YABE",
  8. His idea what that the Y was pronounced as a "Y" and the "W" was pronounced as a "W". It is not, to this day, nor was it then.
  9. In ancient Hebrew, they did not have vowels, only consonants, so when the Masoretes thousands of years ago, not recently, translated it with the vowels in it, they got Jehovah, not "YAHWEH"
  10. Modern scholars saw this and pronounced it as "an error in translation"; it is not
  11. Their unproven religious theory, perpetuated until today is "the Masoretes were inaccurate, because they added vowels from Adonai, and they did this much later on. It was originally "Yahweh"", without a single iota of evidence, proof
  12. Let's see.........Hebrew Masoretes of thousands of years ago, or "modern" "scholars" who use Greek, Samaritan and other pagan cultures for spelling, pronunciation of their "theophoric names". I will stick with the Masoretes, thank you very much. It was their language
  13. Who is closer to the time period?
  14. Rabbis and Jewish leaders, Masorete scribes, retained the Hebrew, not the people, as it was a dying language at that time, so the Masoretes gave it the translation "JEHOVAH", the modern scholars? On much later, non-Hebrew sources.

  THE EARLIER PEOPLE WHO SAID JEHOVAH

  15. The Aleppo Codex in the Israel Museum in Jerusalem (Not Yerusalem) support Jehovah, not YAHWEH.
  16. Maimonedes, 1138-1204, Jewish scholar, YHWH is "Jehovah"
  17. Saadia Gaon Masoretic codex, 927 AD, Jehovah, not YAHWEH
  18. Origen (heretical corrupter of Greek texts himself!), 250 AD-Jehovah, not YAHWEH
  19. Jerome of the Latin Vulgate , 380 AD, Jehovah, not YAHWEH
  20. Hillel the elder, 30 BC Jehovah, not YAHWEH
  21. Demetrius Phalerius, also called Phaleron, Demetrius of Macedon, librarian of Ptolemy in 277 BC, Jehovah, not YAHWEH
  22. JEHOVAH is in no way a made up name later on, like the lying tongues of the scholars falsely claim
  23. Basic Hebrew Grammar: The Hebrew "VAV" is pronounced with a "V" sound, not a "W" sound, in Hebrew, attested by Jews, then and now
  24. The misreading of this as a "W" sound came about by German which use "W" for the English "V", except that the German "V" is pronounced like the English "F", not "W"

  25. A typical modern scholar will hypocritically pronounce the "V" in EVERY OTHER PLACE as a "V" sound, but not in this place. WHY?

  26. Basic Hebrew Grammar: The Hebrew "VAV" is pronounced with a "V" sound, not a "W" sound, in Hebrew, attested by Jews, then and now
  27. If you look at a non-liberal Jewish site, and ignore the "Google" "Wikipedia" complex nonsense, you will see that, in the Hebrew alphabet, the "VAV" is always a "V" sound, not a "W" sound
  28. These self-proclaimed scholars will attempt to dissuade, persuade, deflect you by using their "high level terminology" like "The Greek this, the 'theophoric name' that, the "Samaritan" this. All because they cannot justify it
  29. Again, in no other Hebrew word whatsoever that has a "VAV" do they pronounce it as a "W" sound, only here. ONLY in THIS word. Why is that?
  30. Since "Yahweh" is not the Jehovah God of the Israelites, then what god is it?
  31. Transliterated, the "Y" can be either a "Y" sound or a "J" sound
  32. In 1611 English, same thing. The King James spelled the Greek Name for JESUS as IESUS, but it was pronounced with a "J" sound, not a "Y" sound
  33. The Bible correctors claim that this sound for the "J" was not there in 1611, except? They are wrong
  34. The "I" was pronounced as a soft "g" sound, as in Genesis, Geneva, genuine (Oxford English Dictionary (OED), unabridged, second edition, 1991,
      "The "JE" sound in Jehovah was spelled "IE" and was pronounced as "Jehovah" because the "I" and "J" were interchangeable, simply because the "I" was pronounced as a soft "G"
  35. This is in the 1611 King James Bible, go check it.
  36. Because the English alphabet was different, this was true for many words, so what?
  37. Can these scholars who think they know all about the ancient Hebrew language, without any equivocation, guarantee that, in the last 6,000 years of existence, there was never one time a "G" or a "J" sound to that? With tape recordings? Video?
  38. Therefore, to translate accurately, consistently throughout Scripture, cover to cover, properly using proper translation processes, then from Hebrew to Latin to English (how it was in fact done) it is never YAHWEH, but Jehovah
  39. The "J" comes from translation Hebrew to Latin through final translation into English, and that is proper, not incorrect
  40. The difference in the sharpness of the sound in between "gentle" and "jump" is barely distinguishable, so there is nothing that says it is or ever was a "Y" sound
  41. Who were the early Israelites, and where did they come from? by Dever, William G, 2003 says that Israel got that name borrowed the name "Yahweh" from some nomadic tribe in the deserts of the Middle East.

  42. JOSHUA through Greek to English is JESUS, with a "J" sound, either with a "J" or the 1611 "I" (pronounced "J") so there is not getting around this

1. Genesis 22:14
   Abraham named the place Yahweh-Yireh (which means “the Lord will provide”). To this day, people still use that name as a proverb: “On the mountain of the Lord it will be provided.”
2. Exodus 3:15
   God also said to Moses, “Say this to the people of Israel: Yahweh, the God of your ancestors—the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob—has sent me to you. This is my eternal name, my name to remember for all generations.
3. Exodus 3:16
   “Now go and call together all the elders of Israel. Tell them, ‘Yahweh, the God of your ancestors—the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob—has appeared to me. He told me, “I have been watching closely, and I see how the Egyptians are treating you.
4. Exodus 6:2
   And God said to Moses, “I am Yahweh—‘the Lord.’
5. Exodus 6:3
   I appeared to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob as El-Shaddai—‘God Almighty’—but I did not reveal my name, Yahweh, to them.
6. Exodus 15:3
   The Lord is a warrior; Yahweh is his name!
7. Exodus 17:15
   Moses built an altar there and named it Yahweh-Nissi (which means “the Lord is my banner”).
8. Exodus 33:19
   The Lord replied, “I will make all my goodness pass before you, and I will call out my name, Yahweh, before you. For I will show mercy to anyone I choose, and I will show compassion to anyone I choose.
9. Exodus 34:5
   Then the Lord came down in a cloud and stood there with him; and he called out his own name, Yahweh.
10. Exodus 34:6
    The Lord passed in front of Moses, calling out, “Yahweh! The Lord! The God of compassion and mercy! I am slow to anger and filled with unfailing love and faithfulness.
11. Judges 6:24
    And Gideon built an altar to the Lord there and named it Yahweh-Shalom (which means “the Lord is peace”). The altar remains in Ophrah in the land of the clan of Abiezer to this day.

• Truth is determined by God's Word, rightly divided, all verses united, together in their context
• Truth is not determined by any mainstream writer, author, conference speaker, theologian, radio personality, publisher or publishing house, editor, TV host, or theological seminary. In fact, scads of $$$$$$$$ comes from them for doing the work of the enemy. The authors need to start refusing it, to do the work of the LORD. The publishers behave just like Balak' princes, like Balak.
  (Numbers 22:16-17 [AKJV/PCE])
  And they came to Balaam, and said to him, Thus saith Balak the son of Zippor, Let nothing, I pray thee, hinder thee from coming unto me: For I will promote thee unto very great honour, and I will do whatsoever thou sayest unto me: come therefore, I pray thee, curse me this people.
  (Numbers 22:18 [AKJV/PCE])
  And Balaam answered and said unto the servants of Balak, If Balak would give me his house full of silver and gold, I cannot go beyond the word of the LORD my God, to do less or more.
  Balaam refused, so should they. I woukld rather be cursed by men than God any day. Ever seen a Moabite walking around town? Moab eventually became Jordan, but they are Jordanians, vut out by the U.N.n ot Moabites. And God allowed that for His future purposes. Not their benefit.
• We do not garner, gather, determine or conclude truth by the above, nor what some person told us, authority or not. Truth IS Truth, Jesus is the I AM, not "I AM Who you want me to be", "I AM Who they all agree I AM", "I AM because they all say I AM", "I AM Who you want me to be", "I AM the ONE Who does not make people argue, disagree, cause divisions", nor is He the "I AM Who you need me to be", or "I AM Who mainstream Christianity calls me to be". No. He IS because He IS and HE and only HE determines that, not us, not our training, not reading and writing of many books, not what anyone claims who goes against what God said, no matter the fame, popularity, prolific writings, broadcasts, following, etc. Remember the anti-Christ will be very popular among the masses,
• The name Jehovah is the word that connects Jesus Christ with the LORD of the Old Testament. Jesus is "the image of the invisible God" (Colossians 1:15) and the "express image of his person" (Hebrews 1:3). It is also the word which reveals the triune nature of God, since the three, Father as Jehovah, Jesus Christ as Jehovah and the Holy Spirit is Jehovah and they alone alone are given this title.

• Baal is the Canaanite god, an idol worshiped in the Old Testament in the groves and the high places. His wife is Ashtoreth, "the Queen of Heaven", which is the exact same "Virgin Mary" of the Roman Catholic "Church"
  (Exodus 34:13 [KJV])
  But ye shall destroy their altars, break their images, and cut down their groves:
  (Deuteronomy 7:5 [KJV])
  But thus shall ye deal with them; ye shall destroy their altars, and break down their images, and cut down their groves, and burn their graven images with fire.
  (Deuteronomy 12:3 [KJV])
  And ye shall overthrow their altars, and break their pillars, and burn their groves with fire; and ye shall hew down the graven images of their gods, and destroy the names of them out of that place.
  (2 Kings 23:14 [KJV])
  And he brake in pieces the images, and cut down the groves, and filled their places with the bones of men.
  (Judges 3:7 [KJV])
  And the children of Israel did evil in the sight of the LORD, and forgat the LORD their God, and served Baalim and the groves.

  Strong's Concordance even itself tells you that LORD (all capitals) is "Jehovah"-and they are in no way, shape a final authority! so Israel turned away from ADonai and Jehovah and served Baalim, Ashtoreth and the groves, the high places (Jeremiah 10)

  SO WHO IS THIS "YAHWEH"?

  (Jeremiah 10:1-5 [KJV])
  Hear ye the word which the LORD speaketh unto you, O house of Israel: Thus saith the LORD, Learn not the way of the heathen, and be not dismayed at the signs of heaven; for the heathen are dismayed at them. For the customs of the people are vain: for one cutteth a tree out of the forest, the work of the hands of the workman, with the axe. They deck it with silver and with gold; they fasten it with nails and with hammers, that it move not. They are upright as the palm tree, but speak not: they must needs be borne, because they cannot go. Be not afraid of them; for they cannot do evil, neither also is it in them to do good.

• The gnostics called him to "demiurge", a created god before Creation, to early gnostic Christians
• The German "scholars" who hated Jews as far back as the 1800s, wanted "Jehovah" changed to "Yahweh" in their hatred. The Christian and "Christian' scholars were all too happy to oblige them
• Other names the gnostics used are Yabo, Yaldabaoth, Jaldabaoth or Ialdabaoth
• Yahweh is in no way God, not the One, the true God of either Testament, but a tribal god of the Canaanites who was an idol, worshiped in the groves, as in the high places.
• This is the same as calling Ashtoreth Mary (they do, same god) and is the same as calling Yahweh God....neither changes who they are
• While cultures exchanged gods, changing names, etc. or picking up the gods and their cultures moving around, the earliest instance known of "YAHWEH" as a pagan god is a reference on a Moabite stele, from 3,000 BC , as reported in Haaretz by a JEWISH writer, Ariel David, entitled, "When God wasn't So Great"
  Also here as an archive, with pictures
• Remember, this is a secular Jewish source, not a Christian one, confirming it
"When God Wasn't So Great: What Yahweh’s First Appearance Tells About Early Judaism. The oldest extra-biblical reference to Yahweh is in a 3,000-year-old Mesha Stele of the Moabites, which boasts of defeating Israel, may mention King David – and paints a very different picture of God than the one we know"...in the article..." The Mesha Stele of the Moabites, containing the oldest extra-biblical reference to Yahweh. That treasure was a nearly 3,000-year-old inscription in which the king of Moab boasts of his victories against the Kingdom of Israel and its god YHWH. Called the stele of Mesha, it contains the earliest known extra-biblical mention of the deity worshipped by Jews, Christians and Muslims and, since its discovery in 1868, it has fueled the argument over the historicity of the Bible."
He went on to say, "On one hand, the stele confirms some of the names and circumstances found in the biblical texts on the monarchic period, and may even mention King David himself; and it attests to the existence of a strong cult of Yahweh in ancient Israel...(later) On the other hand, it suggests that the culture and religion of the ancient Israelites may have been radically different from Judaism today. The ancient Hebrews may have been much closer to their much-maligned Canaanite adversaries than the Bible lets on. ."


WHAT IT SAYS:

(1) I am Mesha, son of Chemosh[ît], king of Moab, the Di-
(2) bonite. My father ruled over Moab thirty years, and I ruled
(3) after my father. I made this high-place for Chemosh in Qerihoh, high-pl[ace of sal-]
(4) vation, for he saved me from all the kings and made me enjoy the sight of my enemies. Om-
(5) ri, king of Israel, oppressed Moab for a long time because Chemosh was angry with
(6) his country. His son succeeded him, and he also declared: “I will oppress Moab.” In my days, he declared thus,
(7) but I enjoyed his view and that of his house: Israel was destroyed forever. Omri had taken possession of the land
(8) of Madaba, and he dwelt in it (during) his days and, (during) half of my days, his sons, forty years, but Chemosh
(9) restored it during my days. I built Baal-meon, and I made a reservoir in it; I built
(10) Kiriathain. The men of Gad dwelt in the land of Atarot from ancient times, and the king of Israel had built
(11) Atarot, but I fought against the city and took it; I killed the entire population.
(12) The city belonged to Chemosh and to Moab, and I brought back from there the hearth-altar of his Well-Beloved, and I
(13) installed it before Chemosh in my capital. I settled there the men of Sharon and the men of
(14) Maharat. Chemosh said to me: “Go, take Nebo from Israel!” I
(15) went in the night, and I fought there from dawn until noon; I
(16) took it and killed everyone: seven thousand men, boys, women, [daught]ers
(17) and pregnant women, because I devoted it to Ashtar Chemosh. I took from there the hear[th]
(18) altars of Yahweh, and I brought them before Chemosh. The king of Israel had built
(19) Yahaz, and he lived there while fighting against me, but Chemosh drove him out before me;
(20) I took two hundred men of Moab, all its divisions, and I led them against Yahaz; I took it
(21) to add it to Dibon. I built Qerihoh: the wall of its parks and the wall
(22) of the citadel; I built its gates, its towers, and
(23) a royal palace. I made the retaining walls of the water reservoir within
(24) the city. There had not been a cistern within the city, in Qerihoh, and I said to all the people: “Build for yourselves
(25) a cistern, each one in his house!” I had Qerihoh’s ditches dug by Israelite priso-
(26) ners. I built Aroer and made the road in the Arnon.
(27) I (re)built Beth-Bamoth because it had been destroyed. I (re)built Bezer because it was in ruins.
(28) The men of Dibon (were) fitted out for war because all Dibon (is my) guard. I ruled
(29) over hundreds of cities that I added to the land. I built
(30) [the temple of Mada]ba, the temple of Diblaten, and the temple of Baal-meon. I transported there
(31) […] the small cattle of the land. The House of David dwelt in Horonain […
(32) …] and Chemosh said to me: “Go down, fight against Horonain!” I went down, [fought
(33) against the city and took it.] Chemosh restored it in my days, and I made up ten […
(34) […………………………….] ………………. and I [ ?……..]




• In other words, the name came from "different ancient pagan cultures such as the Moabites, the Canaanites. Not from God and His Word the Jewish scribes had and were told to follow, else they would run to other gods (which they did, often).
• This is the same thing, for instance, as calling, "Allah" God, the God of the Old Testament
• God's Name is Jehovah, not YAHWEH! His Name is Jehovah, not YAH! Nor is it Yeshua, Yehoshua!
• Kanye West, who changed his name to "Ye" is influencing the world with this new name, which is a form of YAHWEH
• The publishers who have brought us 250 plus false "versions" of God's Word are the same ones who publish the concordances based upon the Westcott/Hort Greek New Testament, the Alexandrian texts, etc.
• That said, even Strong's concordance says that the word "LORD" is from the Hebrew "Jehovah"
• "There is no "J" in Hebrew", but the letter "Yod" in Hebrew translates to "J", not "Y"
• The Bible in no way and in no place supports the word YAHWEH, it does not contain "YAHWEH" in any place
• Yod in Hebrew into English translates into Jod, and change Jesus to "Yeshua" because "there is no 'J' in Hebrew", however, this is not the translation into English, this" Y", as it is translated as a "J"
• This is Joshua, in the Old Testament, with the Name translated into English. That English word is Jesus. To be consistent in translating, the book John would be "the book of Yon". The book of James would be the book of Yames". We do not have the book of Yob, Yonah, Yezebel, Yerusalem, Yacob, Yechariah, Yeremiah, Yehova, Yoel, Yudah, Yude. The translation into English is to change the "Y" to a "J". In other words, the Hebrew word for Jesus is Joshua, not "Yeshua", most certainly not "Yesus"!.
• Find "Yeshua" or "Yesus" in your King James Bible
• Please, go find me a "King Yames Bible"
• So that name above all names is Jesus, from Joshua not "Yeshua", not "Yesus"
• The Word of God always goes forward, not backward. Aramaic, Hebrew, Greek, Syriac (Antioch), Latin, German, lastly English
• The Bible LOOKS backward, asks us to read the past to learn from it, but does not ask us to observe it as the Church, the body of Christ!
• The Bible LOOKS backward, asks us to read the past to learn from it, but does not ask us to GO BACKWARD, as the body of Christ!
• Once one leaves the KJV, all sorts of false doctrines enter in, like utter, rank heresy, like cults, etc.
Yahweh is being reported as originating from the god Vulcan of the Canaanites, and Yahweh was also a god of war and a god of storms to the Canaanites

(Acts 7:44,45 [KJV])
Our fathers had the tabernacle of witness in the wilderness, as he had appointed, speaking unto Moses, that he should make it according to the fashion that he had seen. Which also our fathers that came after brought in with Jesus (Joshua) into the possession of the Gentiles, whom God drave out before the face of our fathers, unto the days of David;

(Hebrews 4:8 [KJV])
For if Jesus (Joshua) had given them rest, then would he not afterward have spoken of another day.

In the Old testament, Joshua gave them rest. That same name in the New Testament, is Jesus giving them rest. It is the same name, same Hebrew Word. with a "J", not a "Y".

Stephen is speaking about Joshua, in the Old Testament, with the Name translated into English. That English word is Jesus. To be consistent in translating, as was just said, else the book John would be "the book of Yon". The book of James would be "the book of Yames". We do not have "the book of Yob", "the book of Yonah", "the book of Yeremiah", "the book of Yechariah", "the book of Yoel", "the book of Yude", names like "Yahozebel", "Yehorusalem", "Yacob", "Yehoiakim". The fact is that a direct translation into English is to change the "Y" to a "J". In other words, the Hebrew word for Jesus is Joshua, not "Yeshua". Now consider this. the proper names of these people here have God's Name in the front: Jehoiakim, Jehiah, Jehoshaphat, Jehohanan, Jehoiachin, Jehoiada, Jehoram and Jehoshua. So now, with this said, according to the "YAHWEH IS GOD" philosophy, they should read Yahoiakim, Yahiah, Yahoshaphat, Yahohanan, Yahoiachin, Yahoiada, Yahoram and Yahoshua. They do not. Only the Name of God was claimed to be with the YAHWEH spelliong, the name of a pagan god, not these men of God who were given His Name in their names.

To be consistent, Olde English had the "s" as an "f", yet it was not too hard to read it, nor is it today, once one knows this. We say, "Are you sure about that?" and not "Are you fure about that?" We pronounce it "Jesus Christ" with an "s" sound, and not "Jefus Chrift" with an "f" sound, every time. We say "Messiah", not " the "Meffiah", but that is the way it was spelled then. Everyone knew and understood that. Alphabets change, punctuation standards change. We go with the height of the English language, around the early 1600s, when it was written, as it has gone downhill since. The spelling in 1611 was "Philo the yew, JofepbuSy", whereby we today say, "Philo the Jew, nor Josephus", and we see that the "h" was a "b", the "J" was a "Y" and pronounced as a "J", not a "Y" sound..

"Gentiles? That tabernacle was brought in by those who came with Jesus, that is, Joshua. And I think, for distinction sake, and to prevent mistakes, it ought to be so read, both Acts 7:45; Heb 4:8. Yet in naming Joshua here, which in Greek is Jesus, there may be a tacit intimation that as the Old-Testament Joshua brought in that typical tabernacle, so the New-Testament Joshua should bring in the true tabernacle into the possession of the Gentiles"
-Matthew Henry

(Psalms 68:4 [KJV])
Sing unto God, sing praises to his name: extol him that rideth upon the heavens by his name JAH, and rejoice before him.

THE CULTS OF YAHWEH

1. There is a cult named “The Church of the Almighty God” or “Eastern Lightning”, pretending to be Christians.
   The followers believe that the biblical God has returned to earth as a woman named Yang Xiangbin "born to an ordinary family in the northern part of China in order to guide mankind for the third and final time. According to this cult, the first and second times of active guidance of mankind were as "YAHWEH" of the Old Testament and as Jesus in the New Testament.
   The group teaches that a woman who styles herself "Almighty God", from Zhengzhou, Henan, is the second Christ. Her most widely distributed book, The Word Appears in the Flesh proclaims itself the Word of God. The book claims the first coming of Christ was to redeem humanity, while the second is to judge and purify mankind and defeat Satan. It also claims that those who do not accept her words will receive severe punishment when the judgment ends."
2. In the apocryphal book of Enoch, which is not Scripture, there is a story of the fall of the angels, located at that time on Mount Hermon, which was supposedly a gathering-place of the demons of old (Enoch xiii.; compare Brandt, "Die mandäische Religion," 1889, p. 38).
   AZAZEL IS ONE OF THE LEADERS OF THE REBELLIOUS WATCHERS IN THE TIME PRECEDING THE FLOOD; he taught men the art of warfare, of making swords, knives, shields, and coats of mail, and women the art of deception by ornamenting the body, dyeing the hair, and painting the face and the eyebrows, and also revealed to the people the secrets of witchcraft and corrupted their manners, leading them into wickedness and impurity until at last he was, at YAHWEH's command, bound hand and foot by the archangel Raphael and chained to the rough and jagged rocks of Dudael, where he is to abide in utter darkness until the great Day of Judgment, when he will be cast into the fire to be consumed forever (Enoch viii. 1, ix. 6, x. 4–6, liv. 5, lxxxviii.”
   The whole earth has been corrupted through the works that were taught by AZAZEL: to him ascribe all sin. - Book of Enoch 10:8
3. Still another is the "The Nation of Yahweh", which is a "Black Hebrew Israelite" religious cult founded in 1979 in Miami by Hulon Mitchell Jr., He called himself "Yahweh ben Yahweh". Their goal is to move black Americans, who it says are the original Hebrews/Israelites, back to Israel. The cult believes, teaches that Yahweh ben Yahweh is the Son of God. In this way, its beliefs are unique and distinct from those of other Black Hebrew Israelite groups.
   The founder, Hulon Mitchell, was indicted on federal racketeering and extortion charges, also convicted of conspiracy to commit murder. The group is just basically a black supremacist cult

MAN: A LIAR FROM THE START, ALL OF US

(1 Corinthians 1:19-31 [KJV])
For it is written, I will destroy the wisdom of the wise, and will bring to nothing the understanding of the prudent. Where is the wise? where is the scribe? where is the disputer of this world? hath not God made foolish the wisdom of this world? For after that in the wisdom of God the world by wisdom knew not God, it pleased God by the foolishness of preaching to save them that believe.
For the Jews require a sign, and the Greeks seek after wisdom: But we preach Christ crucified, unto the Jews a stumblingblock, and unto the Greeks foolishness; But unto them which are called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ the power of God, and the wisdom of God.

Because the foolishness of God is wiser than men; and the weakness of God is stronger than men. For ye see your calling, brethren, how that not many wise men after the flesh, not many mighty, not many noble, are called: But God hath chosen the foolish things of the world to confound the wise; and God hath chosen the weak things of the world to confound the things which are mighty; And base things of the world, and things which are despised, hath God chosen, yea, and things which are not, to bring to nought things that are: That no flesh should glory in his presence. But of him are ye in Christ Jesus, who of God is made unto us wisdom, and righteousness, and sanctification, and redemption: That, according as it is written, He that glorieth, let him glory in the Lord.

The Bible claims to have been purified seven times and that God would preserve it forever (Psalm 12:6-7). He did NOT preserve it in Greek and Hebrew manuscripts, vellum sheets, scrolls, rolls, parchments, concordances, lexicons, through heretics who corrupted it (2 Corinthians 2:17). During the time of the apostles, people were taking the gospel books and the epistles of the apostles and copying them, spreading them worldwide. Using a pen, a feather, whatever they had, it took about just under a year to accomplish this task, secretly, privately, hopefully without getting caught. Horrible paper, horrible pens, handwritten.

A thousand years of horrific persecution hit the church, as Jesus told them it would. What happened was, they found you, killed you and, just "to make sure that this copying stopped", when they were done with you, they just simply burned your Bible, in part or whole, whatever they could find that you were working on or carrying on you, spreading. Hence the time of the Dark Ages. You COULD perhaps get maybe twenty to thirty years for that copy, you then have to redo that copy, over and over and over again, because it is worn out, was perhaps secretly carried, transported and even sewn into clothing, stuffed into food sacks, horse saddles, etc. Who even knows what the persecuted people did? Well, Foxe's Book of martyr's lists many here, but certainly not all. When amassed in one place for translation, they have literally hundreds (approximately 5,000 copies that survived the persecution) of copies of actual, bound (hard to do) books as bibles, translated into their native tongues, parchments, scrolls, etc. There was no printing press until Gutenberg invented it around 1450 A.D. Before that, all work was hand done, like the Old Testament scribes did it.

Enter the end of the persecution, around the 1500-1600s. They were then from all over the world gathered together and compared, so as to compile them and translate them into the English. These Bible copies had never even seen each other in 1,000 years, and most of the people had died and passed down what they accomplished. France, North Africa, China, etc.

Copies of copies, many generations later, they were compiled in one place, England. They brought them together to see how accurate they all were, to translate them into English. One thing they found, showing Providential Preservation? A miracle! They all agreed and read the same! The only difference was spelling, as any language even today will differ over time, but it is the same words, same meanings, different languages. It was people's proper names, (Peter, Pietro, Petros, Pedro, etc.). Not one single person, including the LORD Himself, ever accused the Jewish scribes, who had the stewardship of them, of deliberately corrupting the Scriptures .The Jewish leaders were accused of all sorts of things in the Gospels and epistles, but never one hint of that crime was recorded. Neither later did Philo the Jew, nor Josephus, though they wrote very particularly oft his affair of Ptolemy, yet make not the least mention of these alleged false accusations of alterations, in the copy sent to him, nor in the translation of it.

Josephus himself even wrote, "it is plain, in fact, what credit we give to our writings, for that fo long a space of time has run out, yet no one ever dared, neither to add, nor to take away nor to change any thing."

For it is written, I will destroy the wisdom of the wise, and will bring to nothing the understanding of the prudent. Where [is] the wise? where [is] the scribe? where [is] the disputer of this world? hath not God made foolish the wisdom of this world?

(1 Corinthians 2:6-8 [KJV])
Howbeit we speak wisdom among them that are perfect: yet not the wisdom of this world, nor of the princes of this world, that come to nought: But we speak the wisdom of God in a mystery, [even] the hidden [wisdom], which God ordained before the world unto our glory: Which none of the princes of this world knew: for had they known [it], they would not have crucified the Lord of glory.

Origen was the cultist ringleader who was much like the Jehovah's Witnesses today. The people in that first century through to today via the Alexandrian Cult did not believe in all of the basics of Christianity, such as the Deity of Christ, the Creation, etc. Alexandria is mentioned only once in Scripture, and it is, appropriately, where they argued with Stephen. Hmmmm....the plot thickens like a good pasta sauce. His predecessor was none other than Clement of Alexandria (A.D. 150-216) himself, leader of the school of Philosophy there, both of whom, at times in their writings, opposed what one would call "rank paganism", they "fused and used" paganism with Scripture, making their own system of beliefs "Christo-pagan" They spoke against some certain sides of heathenism, not because they believed that they were totally immoral but, rather, because their belief was that God was done with using all of the heathen religions.

In addition to them, there is Justin Martyr and Iraneus. Justin Martyr (A.D. 114-162), known for combining Christian and non-Christian culture with his philosophy and Irenaeus (A.D. 130-202), a major player in the formation of the Roman Catholic Church., the daddy of "Peter was the first pope" idea. Then there was Marcion the Gnostic who loved mutilating the Scriptures to fit his pet, pagan doctrines

(Acts 6:7-15 [KJV])
And the word of God increased; and the number of the disciples multiplied in Jerusalem greatly; and a great company of the priests were obedient to the faith. And Stephen, full of faith and power, did great wonders and miracles among the people. Then there arose certain of the synagogue, which is called the synagogue of the Libertines, and Cyrenians, and Alexandrians, and of them of Cilicia and of Asia, disputing with Stephen. And they were not able to resist the wisdom and the spirit by which he spake.
Then they suborned men, which said, We have heard him speak blasphemous words against Moses, and against God. And they stirred up the people, and the elders, and the scribes, and came upon him, and caught him, and brought him to the council, And set up false witnesses, which said, This man ceaseth not to speak blasphemous words against this holy place, and the law: For we have heard him say, that this Jesus of Nazareth shall destroy this place, and shall change the customs which Moses delivered us. And all that sat in the council, looking stedfastly on him, saw his face as it had been the face of an angel.

Disputed with Stephen, and then made copies (ca. 350 AD). for themselves, removing, adding, changing the Word of God to suit their pet doctrines. That still happens today. God did not use these copies, so they survived a long time and were discovered much later.

• One was found in the Vatican Library and is what the "modern" "versions" use. Now called Vaticanus
• One was found in Alexandria, Egypt, a place God told Israel never to return to or even look back to (see Exodus) and is what the "modern" "versions" use. Now called Alexandrinus.

  NEVER GO BACK TO EGYPT (THE WORLD)

  (Genesis 26:2 [AKJV/PCE])
  And the LORD appeared unto him, and said, Go not down into Egypt; dwell in the land which I shall tell thee of:
  (Deuteronomy 17:16 [AKJV/PCE])
  But he shall not multiply horses to himself, nor cause the people to return to Egypt, to the end that he should multiply horses: forasmuch as the LORD hath said unto you, Ye shall henceforth return no more that way.
  (Exodus 14:11-13 [AKJV/PCE])
  And they said unto Moses, Because there were no graves in Egypt, hast thou taken us away to die in the wilderness? wherefore hast thou dealt thus with us, to carry us forth out of Egypt? Is not this the word that we did tell thee in Egypt, saying, Let us alone, that we may serve the Egyptians? For it had been better for us to serve the Egyptians, than that we should die in the wilderness. ¶ And Moses said unto the people, Fear ye not, stand still, and see the salvation of the LORD, which he will shew to you to day: for the Egyptians whom ye have seen to day, ye shall see them again no more for ever.
  (Deuteronomy 28:66-68 [AKJV/PCE])
  And thy life shall hang in doubt before thee; and thou shalt fear day and night, and shalt have none assurance of thy life: In the morning thou shalt say, Would God it were even! and at even thou shalt say, Would God it were morning! for the fear of thine heart wherewith thou shalt fear, and for the sight of thine eyes which thou shalt see. And the LORD shall bring thee into Egypt again with ships, by the way whereof I spake unto thee, Thou shalt see it no more again: and there ye shall be sold unto your enemies for bondmen and bondwomen, and no man shall buy you.
  (Luke 17:32 [AKJV/PCE])
  Remember Lot's wife.
  (Genesis 19:26 [AKJV/PCE])
  ¶ But his wife looked back from behind him, and she became a pillar of salt.

  So now, knowing this, why would the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob send any Jews back to Egypt to translate the Hebrew into Greek? When he commanded Lot and his family to leave Sodom and Gomorroah, He told them not to look back, just go, go fast, run as fast as you can. See what happened to Lot's wife? ANSWER: HE WOULDN'T

• One was found in the Sinai Peninsula in a monastery and is what the "modern" "versions" use. It is not Mount Sinai, but it is in Arabia (ca 380-350 AD) Now called Sinaiticus.

It must be clearly understood here that this is "The EXACT GREEK" (at its origin) that the Bible correctors use today, to correct God before the unwitting masses, daily

(Galatians 4:25 [KJV])
For this Agar is mount Sinai in Arabia, and answereth to Jerusalem which now is, and is in bondage with her children.

All of these copies were in pristine condition, unused, and all perfect copies-copies OF A BAD TEXT that was DELIBERATELY CORRUPTED! They were all translated into Latin, as the Latin Vulgate, a purely Roman Catholic "Bible". A perfectly good translation of a bad set of corrupted sources. Then came, in 1582, the "Douay-Rhiems Bble", a good translation of a bad book once again.

Enter Westcott and Hort, with the aim of supplanting, using these "oldest and best mss". Hence, the birth of the Westcott and Hort Greek text, "perfectly suitable for translating into English". Now we have 250 plus versions of the "Bible, all vying to make money, all deliberately corrupted,

• RV
• RSV
• NWT
• ASV
• NAS
• Amplified Bible
• On and on, never ending, with no finality, no Ultimate Final Authority whatsoever

GOD: AUTHOR OF TRUTH, THE WHOLE TRUTH, NOTHING BUT

(Psalms 119:160 [KJV])
Thy word is true from the beginning: and every one of thy righteous judgments endureth for ever.

(Deuteronomy 27:26 [AKJV/PCE])
Cursed be he that confirmeth not all the words of this law to do them. And all the people shall say, Amen.

(Acts 7:53 [AKJV/PCE])
Who have received the law by the disposition of angels, and have not kept it.

These Greek and Hebrew Lexicons are constantly changing, being "updated" because, they say, they now have "Recent discoveries of older, better mss", since they day that they started over a hundred years ago. We were given instructions thousands of years before what to do with people who constantly change and are given to change, in this case, their lexicons, concordances, meanings of words in foreign, dead languages.

(Proverbs 24:21 [KJV])
My son, fear thou the LORD and the king: and meddle not with them that are given to change:

(John 17:17 [KJV])
Sanctify them through thy truth: thy word is truth.

(Titus 1:2 [KJV])
In hope of eternal life, which God, that cannot lie, promised before the world began;

(Psalms 25:4 [KJV])
Shew me thy ways, O LORD; teach me thy paths.

(Psalms 25:5 [KJV])
Lead me in thy truth, and teach me: for thou art the God of my salvation; on thee do I wait all the day.

(Psalms 27:11 [KJV])
Teach me thy way, O LORD, and lead me in a plain path, because of mine enemies.

(Psalms 86:11 [KJV])
Teach me thy way, O LORD; I will walk in thy truth: unite my heart to fear thy name.

(Psalms 119:12 [KJV])
Blessed art thou, O LORD: teach me thy statutes.

(Psalms 119:26 [KJV])
I have declared my ways, and thou heardest me: teach me thy statutes.

(Psalms 119:33 [KJV])
HE. Teach me, O LORD, the way of thy statutes; and I shall keep it unto the end.

(Psalms 119:64 [KJV])
The earth, O LORD, is full of thy mercy: teach me thy statutes.

(Psalms 119:66 [KJV])
Teach me good judgment and knowledge: for I have believed thy commandments.

(Psalms 119:68 [KJV])
Thou art good, and doest good; teach me thy statutes.

(Psalms 119:108 [KJV])
Accept, I beseech thee, the freewill offerings of my mouth, O LORD, and teach me thy judgments.

(Psalms 119:124 [KJV])
Deal with thy servant according unto thy mercy, and teach me thy statutes.

(Psalms 119:135 [KJV])
Make thy face to shine upon thy servant; and teach me thy statutes.

(Psalms 143:10 [KJV])
Teach me to do thy will; for thou art my God: thy spirit is good; lead me into the land of uprightness.

(James 1:5 [KJV])
If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, that giveth to all men liberally, and upbraideth not; and it shall be given him.

True wisdom comes ONLY from God, through careful study and humility.

GOD WANTS US TO REVERE HIS WORD

(Psalms 138:2 [KJV])
I will worship toward thy holy temple, and praise thy name for thy lovingkindness and for thy truth: for thou hast magnified thy word above all thy name.

God does not want us to correct it, since it is infallible, inerrant, finished forever, pure, holy, the only one borne in the blood off martyrs, and, most importantly, HIS. (Exodus 20:7 [KJV])
Thou shalt not take the name of the LORD thy God in vain; for the LORD will not hold him guiltless that taketh his name in vain.

(Deuteronomy 5:11 [KJV])
Thou shalt not take the name of the LORD thy God in vain: for the LORD will not hold him guiltless that taketh his name in vain.

(Leviticus 19:12 [KJV])
And ye shall not swear by my name falsely, neither shalt thou profane the name of thy God: I am the LORD.

OUR SALVATION, OUR FAITH, OUR SPIRITUALITY ITSELF IS BASED UPON GOD'S WORD, PERFECTLY TRANSLATED AND PRESERVED FOR US

(1 Peter 1:23-25 [KJV])
Being born again, not of corruptible seed, but of incorruptible, by the word of God, which liveth and abideth for ever. For all flesh is as grass, and all the glory of man as the flower of grass. The grass withereth, and the flower thereof falleth away: But the word of the Lord endureth for ever. And this is the word which by the gospel is preached unto you.

(Romans 10:17 [KJV])
So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.

(1 Peter 2:2 [KJV])
As newborn babes, desire the sincere milk of the word, that ye may grow thereby:

2 Timothy 3:16, 17 [KJV])
All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness: That the man of God may be perfect, throughly furnished unto all good works.

(John 5:39 [KJV])
Search the scriptures; for in them ye think ye have eternal life: and they are they which testify of me.

(John 6:63 [KJV])
It is the spirit that quickeneth; the flesh profiteth nothing: the words that I speak unto you, they are spirit, and they are life.

Why create doubt as a Christian in such a powerful book as God's Word? Is it just another book to you, like a manual for fixing a caar, a medical textbook?

(Jude 1:4 [KJV])
For there are certain men crept in unawares, who were before of old ordained to this condemnation, ungodly men, turning the grace of our God into lasciviousness, and denying the only Lord God, and our Lord Jesus Christ.

THE WISDOM OF THE WORLD: HEAD KNOWLEDGE=PRIDE

(John 7:18 [KJV])
He that speaketh of himself seeketh his own glory: but he that seeketh his glory that sent him, the same is true, and no unrighteousness is in him.

When you are listening to someone, anyone talk about God's Word, reading it, and they say, "But in the original Greek" or "But in the original Hebrew"...........walk away, ignore them, turn whatever you are listening to off. They know only what they were told, "in the original" by men in the last two centuries whose hidden agenda was to utterly destroy, bit by bit, with the subtlety of the serpent, that English Bible, translated in 1611 for us, still used by God today, still understood by foreigners, children and anyone who takes the time to read it faithfully. The very purpose of saying such a lie is to dissuade you from reading that book in English, to cast doubt, to create confusion, not to educate. We are constantly bombarded with this, in "the Greek and Hebrew study tools available today provide clarity, and shed light upon any available improvements to the Holy Bible. especially from "the oldest and best mss.". They corrector hopes you are one of the "naïve people, believing in the virtues of superior scholarship”. "These Bible correctors may look like sheep, but they are wearing a sheep suit (maybe even a cheap suit!) while hiding the inside animal, which is actually a wolf. You have been warned.

Pastor R.B. Ouellette penned and preached the following perceptive poem.

I heard the old-time preacher speak without one reference to the Greek,
“This precious Book within my hand is God’s own word on which I stand.”
And then the scholars came along and said the preacher had it wrong:
“Conflations here, recissions there, and scribal errors everywhere.”
A book “essentially correct,” but not in every last respect.
“A ‘fairly certain’ word,” they say, “To light our path and guide our way.”
Then in despair I bowed by head. “We have no word of God,” I said.
“If some of this old Book is wrong, pray tell, what else does not belong?”
Will still more manuscripts be found to make us go another round?
Correcting, changing, taking out; creating questions, fear and doubt?
Must more discoveries come to light before we finally get it right?
Will precious doctrines fade away because of what the scholars say?
How many “errors” must we purge because of what the scholars urge?
How many versions must we make? How many changes can we take?
How will we ever know we’re through – that we possess a scripture true?
If man must find God’s word, my friend, when will the changes ever end?
Then to the Book again I fled to find out what my Father said.
“Forever settled…never fade” – This promise God the Spirit made.
A thousands generations hence – that seems a pretty strong defense.
A “perfect Book?” Then it must be, man can’t improve what God gave me.
We have a Book completely true, instructing us in all we do.
Preserved by God, not found by men, inscribed by God the Spirit’s pen.
If God or scholars you must choose, be sure the “experts” always lose.
Don’t give to them a second look; Just keep believing this old Book.

(Preached at Woodland Baptist Church, Winston-Salem, NC, May 1, 2007.

(Proverbs 30:5, 6 [KJV])
Every word of God is pure: he is a shield unto them that put their trust in him. Add thou not unto his words, lest he reprove thee, and thou be found a liar.

Please do not ask me if *I* am saying these things. I am not. It is what GOD says that matters, not me. I am not anti-education. I am against God-correcting caused by too much WORLDLY, carnal, fleshly "education". I am anti-worldly, carnal, fleshly education, learning of things that do not matter and cause confusion, discord, ignorance of God and His Word, and intellectual arrogance, intellectual deceit, pride. I am pro wisdom-FROM GOD ALONE.

Two things God does not like that create doubt, unbelief:

1. Appeals to Authority
2. Appeals to Majority

Majority arguments, authority arguments do not work with God, and should not with us. God is not interested in what "the majority" think. God does not care what "the authorities" think. Fishermen, tax collectors versus Pharisees, Saduccees, which ones did God use? Which ones did the enemy use?

GENESIS CHAPTER 3

(Genesis 2:17 [KJV])
But of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, thou shalt not eat of it: for in the day that thou eatest thereof thou shalt surely die.

(Genesis 3:1-5 [KJV])
Now the serpent was more subtil than any beast of the field which the LORD God had made. And he said unto the woman, Yea, hath God said, Ye shall not eat of every tree of the garden? And the woman said unto the serpent, We may eat of the fruit of the trees of the garden: But of the fruit of the tree which is in the midst of the garden, God hath said, Ye shall not eat of it, neither shall ye touch it, lest ye die. And the serpent said unto the woman, Ye shall not surely die: For God doth know that in the day ye eat thereof, then your eyes shall be opened, and ye shall be as gods, knowing good and evil.

So Eve wanted worldly knowledge, a higher education, she wanted to go to seminary, in her flesh, forgetting what God her Creator wanted her to have. She was going for her Master's in theology, and got that worldly wisdom, and here we are today!

(Ecclesiastes 12:8-14 [KJV])
Vanity of vanities, saith the preacher; all is vanity. And moreover, because the preacher was wise, he still taught the people knowledge; yea, he gave good heed, and sought out, and set in order many proverbs. The preacher sought to find out acceptable words: and that which was written was upright, even words of truth.
The words of the wise are as goads, and as nails fastened by the masters of assemblies, which are given from one shepherd. And further, by these, my son, be admonished: of making many books there is no end; and much study is a weariness of the flesh. Let us hear the conclusion of the whole matter: Fear God, and keep his commandments: for this is the whole duty of man. For God shall bring every work into judgment, with every secret thing, whether it be good, or whether it be evil.

(Proverbs 3:5-8 [KJV])
Trust in the LORD with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding. In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths. Be not wise in thine own eyes: fear the LORD, and depart from evil. It shall be health to thy navel, and marrow to thy bones.

(Romans 12:16 [KJV])
Be of the same mind one toward another. Mind not high things, but condescend to men of low estate. Be not wise in your own conceits.

1. Wisdom comes from God, not academia, archaeologists, scientists, professors, scholars, etc.
   (Psalms 111:10 [KJV])
   The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom: a good understanding have all they that do his commandments: his praise endureth for ever.
   (Job 28:28 [KJV])
   And unto man he said, Behold, the fear of the Lord, that is wisdom; and to depart from evil is understanding.
   (Proverbs 1:7 [KJV])
   The fear of the LORD is the beginning of knowledge: but fools despise wisdom and instruction.
   (1 Corinthians 2:12-14 [KJV])
   Now we have received, not the spirit of the world, but the spirit which is of God; that we might know the things that are freely given to us of God. Which things also we peak, not in the words which man's wisdom teacheth, but which the Holy Ghost teacheth; comparing spiritual things with spiritual. But the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned.
   (Proverbs 9:10 [KJV])
   The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom: and the knowledge of the holy is understanding.
   (Proverbs 15:33 [KJV])
   The fear of the LORD is the instruction of wisdom; and before honour is humility.
   (Acts 19:8-9 [KJV])
   And he went into the synagogue, and spake boldly for the space of three months, disputing and persuading the things concerning the kingdom of God. But when divers were hardened, and believed not, but spake evil of that way before the multitude, he departed from them, and separated the disciples, disputing daily in the school of one Tyrannus.
   • They were hardened in their hearts, they did not believe, they spoke evil of true believers
   • They they argued, disputed, daily, in a school (seminary)
   • They caused divisions, various ones mocking the other ones, the Christians, some of whom believed
   The words "smart. intellectual, educated, education, academia, college, seminary" (I like to call them cemeteries, where God's Word goes to DIE BY LIES) appear no place in Scripture. It is WISDOM God cares about, and that only comes from God. "school" is in there, in Acts, where Paul disputed and persuaded, and they ARGUED BACK!. Mars Hill was a great place to argue, like the Promacks, the Gretchen Passantino years ago in California. God does not need "intellectuals" in the Church, His Body. He wants and needs followers who study HIS WORD, Who want to follow Him and believe His Word, not follow man's words, not those who read man's words and then try to use them to correct His Word. The word "scholar" definitely appears in Scripture, twice. One time it is just mentioned, but the other time, God said He would literally kill (cut off) them!
   (Malachi 2:10-12 [KJV])
   Have we not all one father? hath not one God created us? why do we deal treacherously every man against his brother, by profaning the covenant of our fathers? Judah hath dealt treacherously, and an abomination is committed in Israel and in Jerusalem; for Judah hath profaned the holiness of the LORD which he loved, and hath married the daughter of a strange god.
   (verse 12) The LORD will cut off the man that doeth this, the master and the scholar, out of the tabernacles of Jacob, and him that offereth an offering unto the LORD of hosts.
   They were not accused of tampering with the Word of God but, being the leaders, "intellectually" and spiritually, they were accused of participating in and probably leading the people of the movement out and away from God and into the arms of other gods. Worshiping other gods, including the intellect, the intellectuals, academia, degrees, etc. puts them all before God. It is the same today in America.

2. We do not ever have to go to "The Original Greek" or "the Original Hebrew" to know what God says.
3. When you get your theology from Lexicons, commentaries and concordances, you only know what THEY TELL YOU that word is, what it means, and 99% of the time, they will tell you falsely that "that English word would be better translated as ________________", in an effort to show how "intellectual" one is, to correct God's Word, to sway people away from God's Word. Who in the spiritual world would want one to reject what God wrote, what men died for, to supplant it with something else? Perhaps a serpent? In the Garden? Check the history of this doctrine the last 2,000 plus years and see the motivations, the origins, the sources they use

   ...yea, hath God said...?"

4. As a good example, the very common argument is made from a pulpit is that "agape (or agapae) is one form of love, phileo is another form of love". This is false. The two are used interchangeably. One can run to "the Greek" all that they want, but the fact that the translators of the AV1611, guided by God the Holy Spirit, used them interchangeably means that they mean the same thing, and no amount of searching lexicons, concordances or commentaries will fix that issue. Either you believe that Word of God in English or you do not, but do not tell me it has errors, or is 'unclear" or "does not translate to English from the Greek perfectly". It translates just fine. It is our fault if and when we reject it, as that word "L-O-V-E" is four letters, one syllable. Let the context of the verses determine the meaning, not someone who does not believe in a perfect Bible within the covers of one book exists on earth, and they are trying to "recover it" with "older, better mss." or "the latest discovery of mss.".
   As an example of this itself, here is a single verse, both "loves" next to each other, using both "agape" and "phileo" and look at how they translate:
   (1 Thessalonians 4:9 [KJV])
   But as touching brotherly love (agape) ye need not that I write unto you: for ye yourselves are taught of God to love (phileo) one another.

5. How long one studies worldly things, how much they know, does not impress God-He wants us to use HIS WORD, HIS SWORD, not worldly knowledge, but HIS wisdom, knowledge of HIM, not men's ideas of Who He is. He already told us Who He is. Add to this the fact that we do not when teaching, ever define the Greek meaning of every word in order to teach, in order to "properly exegete" Scripture.
6. Hermeneutics, the study of the principles of the interpretation of scripture, is named after the pagan Greek “god” Hermes. Has anyone who teaches or studies this subject ever considered just ‘who’ this study is named after? The Oxford Classical Dictionary says Hermes was known for “divination.” “[H]e leads the dead to Hades”… “he was skilled in trickery and deception…[H]e is attested as trickster and thief…but most often he uses his power in mischief, illusion, and mystery…[H]e puts on his feet sandals which erase footprints…Like a magician he knows how to put the enemy camp to sleep.”
   "Hermes charmed him (unknown, apparently perhaps the god "Orpheus") to sleep with the sound of his flute and cut off his head.” Hermes promoted bestiality and was the messenger for the god Zeus (a type of Satan). Hermeneutics, as taught today in liberal Bible colleges, scarcely brings a message from the God of Christianity. Hermes sends students on a wild goose chase to find Zeus’s interpretation of God’s message, using Greek lexicons, based generally on the writings of the pagan Greeks (The Oxford Classical Dictionary, Oxford: Oxford University Press, 1996, p. 690, s.v. Hermes; Elizabeth Hallam, Gods and Goddesses, NY: Macmillan, 1996, p. 132).
   The word "hermeneutics" comes from the name of the Greek god, Hermes. Hermes is the namesake of hermeneutics and, in Greek mythology, he is the son of Zeus and the nymph Maia, Hermes is the herald of the Olympian gods. Among his responsibilities, aside from being considered "cunning, sly and crude, Hermes, the false god, had several "responsibilities:
   • To be the god of shepherds
   • To be the god of land travel
   • To be the god of merchants
   • To be the god of oratory, literature
   • To be the god of athletics, as in the olympics
   • To be the god of thieves.
   • His primary role? To be the messenger of the gods.
   • Like an oracle, Hermes "reveals and unlocks that potential within us", like the New Agers say

   HANDLE THEM LIKE PAUL DID

   PAUL, THE DUNG SLINGER

   (Acts 23:6 [KJV])
   But when Paul perceived that the one part were Sadducees, and the other Pharisees, he cried out in the council, Men and brethren, I am a Pharisee, the son of a Pharisee: of the hope and resurrection of the dead I am called in question.
   (Philippians 3:4-7 [KJV])
   Though I might also have confidence in the flesh. If any other man thinketh that he hath whereof he might trust in the flesh, I more: Circumcised the eighth day, of the stock of Israel, of the tribe of Benjamin, an Hebrew of the Hebrews; as touching the law, a Pharisee; Concerning zeal, persecuting the church; touching the righteousness which is in the law, blameless. But what things were gain to me, those I counted loss for Christ.
   (2 Corinthians 10:8-9 [KJV])
   For though I should boast somewhat more of our authority, which the Lord hath given us for edification, and not for your destruction, I should not be ashamed: That I may not seem as if I would terrify you by letters.
   • We as Christian men, Christian leaders have to know that we have the authority, the obligation, responsibility to correct error which causes confusion, division among the flock
   • This correction is for edification, mature growth, like a tree trained and taught to grow upward for eventual lumber into straight boards
   • We are to avoid controversy and conflict and confrontation as much as is possible but, at the same time, NOT avoid those who would come in and cause confusion, chaos, discord, dispute, today being "the scholars" who come in to say, "God said this, but in the original language it is that!" That is an "unfortunate mistranslation", that is a "copyist error", this is a "later addition", that is a "later deletion (rescission)", that's a "later change"
   • This behavior causes the destruction Paul mentions here, not his correcting it
   (2 Timothy 3:13-17 [KJV])
   But evil men and seducers shall wax worse and worse, deceiving, and being deceived. But continue thou in the things which thou hast learned and hast been assured of, knowing of whom thou hast learned them; And that from a child thou hast known the holy scriptures, which are able to make thee wise unto salvation through faith which is in Christ Jesus. All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness: That the man of God may be perfect, throughly furnished unto all good works.
   (Titus 1:6-16 [KJV])
   If any be blameless, the husband of one wife, having faithful children not accused of riot or unruly. For a bishop must be blameless, as the steward of God; not selfwilled, not soon angry, not given to wine, no striker, not given to filthy lucre; But a lover of hospitality, a lover of good men, sober, just, holy, temperate; Holding fast the faithful word as he hath been taught, that he may be able by sound doctrine both to exhort and to convince the gainsayers.
   For there are many unruly and vain talkers and deceivers, specially they of the circumcision: Whose mouths must be stopped, who subvert whole houses, teaching things which they ought not, for filthy lucre's sake. One of themselves, even a prophet of their own, said, The Cretians are alway liars, evil beasts, slow bellies. This witness is true. Wherefore rebuke them sharply, that they may be sound in the faith; Not giving heed to Jewish fables, and commandments of men, that turn from the truth.
   Unto the pure all things are pure: but unto them that are defiled and unbelieving is nothing pure; but even their mind and conscience is defiled. They profess that they know God; but in works they deny him, being abominable, and disobedient, and unto every good work reprobate.
   (1 Timothy 1:5-7 [KJV])
   Now the end of the commandment is charity out of a pure heart, and of a good conscience, and of faith unfeigned: From which some having swerved have turned aside unto vain jangling; Desiring to be teachers of the law; understanding neither what they say, nor whereof they affirm.
   • Called them out as evil in the last days, growing worse, daily
   • Deceiving and being deceived
   • Protect yourself and study the Word of God for yourself, treat it as God's Word for direction, reproof, correction, instruction if and as needed, rinse, repeat
   • Understand that it is powerful enough to make you perfect, throughly furnished unto all good works-or else it is utterly useless and meaningless!
   • Have sound doctrine yourself
   • Make sure you or other leaders have the qualifications in the home, takes care of the flock, not egotistical, making everything about themselves and what they want, slow to anger, not a drinker, nice, easy, calm-BUT TELLING THE TRUTH, as salesman, the serpent, all liars and deceivers who are acciomplished are calm and collected as well, speaking softly
   So ask yourself, why would we need to practice such things to get "worldly knowledge using "hermeneutics"? Do we practice divination, sorcery to find out what God said, by using "hermeneutics"?
7. Today, when anyone at all gets enough "education" ("EDUCATION", another word not found in Scripture) a Master's "degree", PhD, etc. that they THINK they can correct God's English Bible, they have way, way too much "education" and now become "Bible correctors".
   (2 Timothy 2:15 [KJV])
   Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.
   Approved unto God, not men, not to impress people with our "knowledge (Genesis 3:1). While the above verse in Matthew speaks of fasting, the same practice is done with "education", to appear "smart", "intellectual", "scholarly". God is not impressed so neither should we be.
   (Matthew 6:16-18 [KJV])
   Moreover when ye fast, be not, as the hypocrites, of a sad countenance: for they disfigure their faces, that they may appear unto men to fast. Verily I say unto you, They have their reward. But thou, when thou fastest, anoint thine head, and wash thy face; That thou appear not unto men to fast, but unto thy Father which is in secret: and thy Father, which seeth in secret, shall reward thee openly.
   There are three correctors of God's Word literally called out for us in it, that tells us how bad that practice is
   • The serpent
   • Eve, the woman
   • The Corinthians
   (Genesis 3:1 [KJV])
   Now the serpent was more subtil than any beast of the field which the LORD God had made. And he said unto the woman, Yea, hath God said, Ye shall not eat of every tree of the garden?
   (Genesis 3:3 [KJV])
   But of the fruit of the tree which is in the midst of the garden, God hath said, Ye shall not eat of it, neither shall ye touch it, lest ye die.
   (2 Corinthians 2:17 [KJV])
   For we are not as many, which corrupt the word of God: but as of sincerity, but as of God, in the sight of God speak we in Christ.
   (2 Corinthians 4:2 [KJV])
   But have renounced the hidden things of dishonesty, not walking in craftiness, nor handling the word of God deceitfully; but by manifestation of the truth commending ourselves to every man's conscience in the sight of God.
   They were taking Paul's epistles here, the Word of God, anything that was of God's Word and correcting it all, at the time he was still alive. This happened under Origen, continued through the Dark Ages and on to Westcott and Hort, then to today, with "Vaticanus, Alexandrinus, Sinaiticus" mss. with their deliberately corrupted manuscripts being the foundation of perfectly translated, deliberately corrupted texts. In pristine condition-BECAUSE GOD NEVER USED THEM.
   1. Dishonesty is always hidden, covert and not overt
   2. Crafts are for witches, warlocks, shamans
   3. Handling with deceit is yet another characteristic of the worldly wise, that sleight of hand
8. (2 Corinthians 4:5 [KJV])
   For we preach not ourselves, but Christ Jesus the Lord; and ourselves your servants for Jesus' sake.
   These self-proclaimed "scholars" and "experts" preach themselves, their "expert opinions", their private interpretations, notions, ideas of what God said, and always have, and preach not God, not His glorious gospel. They do this by repeating what someone who also was or is a 'self-proclaimed expert", correcting the Word of God openly, because they have more worldly "knowledge" (Genesis 3) than we do, so they can. But one can only do what people allow them to do. God asks us to study HIS WORD, not study books by famous authors ABOUT His Word and does not ask us to come to our conclusions, get our answers about God, Who He is, what He does for us, from books by famous people. How can one discern what is true and what is false if they do not know the truth, but only what they were told by corrupt people who write book$, do radio $how$, TV $how$, $peak at conference$, without checking it against God's Word?
   We are called to be Bereans, not "Alexandrians" In the scholarly world, the verse "have no confidence in the flesh" would really mean,

   "HAVE NO CONFIDENCE IN THE COMPETENCE"

   (2 Corinthians 4:7 [KJV])
   But we have this treasure in earthen vessels, that the excellency of the power may be of God, and not of us.
   Plain, simple, humble people who God can use because they are humble, knowing they are dust, from dust, and will return to dust.
   (Genesis 3:19 [KJV])
   In the sweat of thy face shalt thou eat bread, till thou return unto the ground; for out of it wast thou taken: for dust thou art, and unto dust shalt thou return.
   (Job 34:15 [KJV])
   All flesh shall perish together, and man shall turn again unto dust.
   (Acts 17:11 [KJV])
   These were more noble than those in Thessalonica, in that they received the word with all readiness of mind, and searched the scriptures daily, whether those things were so.
   (Luke 8:11,12 [KJV])
   Now the parable is this: The seed is the word of God. Those by the way side are they that hear; then cometh the devil, and taketh away the word out of their hearts, lest they should believe and be saved.

(John 8:44 [KJV])
Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it.
9. Chri$tian publisher$ are mostly owned by worldly unbeliever$, meaning you must comply with them to even get published, you must compromise on the Word of God, just to start. You further cannot publish a book that is based upon the King James position, but must often use "modern" "versions" as the basis.
10. One apostle, Paul, had enough to be a Pharisee, the son of one in fact. He counted all of that "dung". We all know what dung is.
    (Philippians 3:8 [KJV])
    Yea doubtless, and I count all things but loss for the excellency of the knowledge of Christ Jesus my Lord: for whom I have suffered the loss of all things, and do count them but dung, that I may win Christ,

11. "The Greek" this, "the Hebrew that" is meaningless, for so many reasons, but to start:
    • We do not speak Koine Greek, not even in Greece. They speak Classical Greek. They do not understand correctly Koine Greek and no amount of academic study will help that, since it is dead, never to be revived.
    • Which "Greek"? Minority Greek from Vaticanus, Alexandrinus, Sinaiticus? Or the Textus Receptus? Westcott and Hort Greek? Or God's Greek?
    • We do not speak nor understand ancient Hebrew, only a revived version, and we do not need it, nor would the ancient scribes have behaved in such an evil manner as correcting God's Word, even when Israel was at its worst apostasy. They merely copied and copied it again and again, as the books wore out. Perfectly. Which is why we even have an English Bible today.
    • The Hebrew of most, if not all, of the publishers, authors were and are written by outright heretics, unbelievers, even evil men of corrupt minds.
    • God speaks English and knows how to translate, or else we need to hold all worship services, preach all Gospel messages, all sermons in Koine Greek and ancient Hebrew, so that we can, without a shadow of shame, say we preach God's Word only
    • Pharaoh spoke Chaldean, and it was translated into Hebrew. Therefore, since God apparently can not translate perfectly into English from ancient Hebrew and Koine Greek, we have no idea what Pharaoh said.
    • Too much worldly knowledge leads to pride. We are told to read and study and gather from God's Word, all that we need to know is in there from God. We are never asked to read INTO it, correct it, claim it has errors, tell God what He really meant to say and tell Him exactly how He could have said it better
    • Go ahead on a missions trip and travel to places where they die to get even one copy of a Bible in their own language. Ask them about "the original language". They get one Bible, tear out the pages, distribute them and memorize individual pages, reciting them publicly in meetings. They reverence that Word of God, unlike the "educated American" who thinks he is so "smart" that he can correct God!
    John Macarthur is a perfect example of this apostasy. He denies the Blood has anything whatsoever to do with our salvation, but has a huge TV, radio, book following.
    Add to that Bart Ehrman, Norm Geisler, Bruce Metzger, Gerhard Kittel, **Henry George Liddell, Robert Scott, Henry Stuart Jones, and Roderick McKenzie**, (of the Liddell-Scotts Greek-English Lexicon), Bauer, Arndt, and Gingrich G, John Chadwick, Brown-Driver-Briggs, Frederick Danker, Lee Strobel, Max Lucado, James White, Strong, Vine, Thayer, Zodhiates, Wuest, Vincent, and anyone else who wishes to correct God's Word. That list is longer than here. We should never get our beliefs from anyone but God and His Word, perfectly preserved for us to today. Going into the mainstream is bad, to be avoided.
    (1 Peter 1:24-25 [KJV])
    Knowing this first, that no prophecy of the Scripture is of any private Interpretation: For the prophecie came not in old time by the will of man: but holy men of God spake as they were moved by the holy Ghost.

    GOD PRESERVED HIS WORD: WE DO NOT NEED TO CORRECT IT with foreign, dead languages, or the "originals" which no longer exist. We need to read it, study it, believe it, as written-IN ENGLISH

    (Proverbs 30:5-6 [AKJV/PCE])
    Every word of God is pure: he is a shield unto them that put their trust in him. Add thou not unto his words, lest he reprove thee, and thou be found a liar.
    (Numbers 23:19 [AKJV/PCE])
    God is not a man, that he should lie; neither the son of man, that he should repent: hath he said, and shall he not do it? or hath he spoken, and shall he not make it good?

    ALLELU-YAH? OR ALLELUJAH?

    Revelation 19:1 [OKJV])
    And after thefe things I heard a great boyce of much people in heauen, faying, Alleluia : falvation, and glorie, and Honour, and power unto the Lord our God:
    Revelation 19:3 [OKJV])
    And againe they fayd, Aleluia: and her fmoke rofe bp fo2 euer euer.
    Revelation 19:4 [OKJV])
    And the foure and twentie eldefs, and the foufe beafts fell Downe, and Worfhipped God that fate on the throne faying, Amen, Alleluia,
    Revelation 19:6 [OKJV])
    And I heard as it were the voice of a great multitude, and as the vote of many waters, and as the voice of mightie thunderings faying, Alleliuia : for the Lord God omnipotent reigneth.
    I have the Word of God. I will let no man take that from me with sleight of hand, creation of doubt, lying, deceit, etc. God is not the author of confusion..............the "scholars certainly are.
