  1. This is the key 8 Verses of THIS BLESSED EPISTLE. 

    To sum up THE 7 VERSES:

    MISTERY. THE BIBLE tells us that there is a MISTERY- A BLESSED SECRET. We are told once again THE SUPREME AND WONDERFUL TRUTH!!!! - THE FACT that not only our every move is under TOTAL CONTROL BY GOD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! but every single one of our thoughts too!!!! In addition to that we are told that there is a purpose behind the bad things we do - someone else is granted MERCY as a result of our disobedience. And look at THE BLESSED VERSE 32!!!!

    Let's read THE BIBLE!!!!

    Unbelievers are in danger of hell. You say that you have studied the Bible thoughly and you know that is what the Bible teaches. 

    Romans 11:32, study it carefully, as well as the Entire Epistle Romans 9-11. The BLESSED Verse is saying that the ones who are not believing are not doing it by choice - everything is totally CONTROLLED BY GOD!!!!!!!!!!!!

    there is a wonderful purpose, that is a mystery to us, behind everyone's belief or unbelief - that is what the BLESSED Verse is saying

    You know the bible says to repent of your sins, to be blameless before the lord, to be perfect as God is perfect, to be holy as God is holy etc

    I see the vast majority of Christians don't fully obey the commands in the bible. For example in Ephesians Paul says that there shouldn't be any unwholesome talk or course joking among Christians because we are Gods holy people. Nor should there be any impurity, sexual immorality or greed. I was hanging out with about 10 young adults from church the other day and man, was it course joking galore. They also take Gods name in vain which is one of the 10 commandments. You know saying omg instead of oh my gosh. 

    I have known Christians that swear to. Will these Christians go to heaven? They are not repenting of all their sins. I follow the bible 100% as is intended but i'm concerned about the majority of Christians that don't cos these are direct commands and to disobey is sin. I think that the problem is not enough bible reading and their opinion is corrupted by the worlds standards and Gods standard, the bible, is a weak voice in their head cos they neglect bible reading. 

    Are they in danger of hell? What you think?

    1. Having studied THE BIBLE very thoroughly, i believe that no one is in danger of hell, as the mainstream preachers teach it. Yes, we are all in danger of everything listed in Deuteronomy 28. Yes we may be in danger of impreasonment, described in 1 Peter 3:18-22. But everyone will be SAVED!!!! Because: 

    A) Romans 10:9 --> Philippians 2:10-11

    B) 1 Timothy 4:10

    There are a lot more BIBLICAL evidence, as well as ways to disprove the mainstream preachers.

    2) about Christians commiting sins: I don't want to judge anyone, what can I say, just look at the Psalm 62, Romans Chapter 3, Job 25:6 and a lot more. 

  4. Continuing the theme: it is really surprising and sad that Romans Chapters 9 to 11 get so misinterpreted. Especially Romans 11:32. It seems that there is no single source that interprets The Epistle properly. 

    Brothers and sisters, read it and REJOICE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Pray for those who misinterpret it, so that they could repent!!!!

    PRAISE THE LORD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! FOREVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    I’m glad those things point you to Christ.

    As I’m sure you know, and are learning, it is our one and one relationship with Christ, that causes us growth, wisdom, learning and all good and awesome things. 

    Blessings as we strive to feed this relationship, so we might grow, in our hope, belief and love of Him. 

    Much love in Christ, Not me 

    Thank you for words of encouragement.

  6. Hello brothers and sisters!

    Why did i start with something unusual - a number? 

    Here is what happened:

    On the 10th of June i got worried about something completely unrelated to what i intend to write about now. i prayed about that! Almost immediately i saw a number 59 on a license plate - and that calmed my worrying. That had to do with something i observed in my life before, that would take too long to explain.

    PRAISE THE LORD!!!!!!!!!!!!! FOREVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Shortly after that on the same day, i was listening to Mark Chapter 3. The BLESSED Verses 28 and 29 made me worry again. As a worthless sinner who used to drink and do similar things, i started worrying that i might have blasphemed in the past! What a useless drunk! i hope i never blasphemed! i pray i never blasphemed! It's the madness of intoxication and everything related that makes me realize the depth of my sin and uselessness!

    i must say that even during my sinful drinking days i never stopped believing, i always prayed as much as i could, i always considered myself a believer.

    PRAISE THE LORD!!!!!!!!!!! FOREVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!   

    It was the things like memory loss during serious imparement, as well as other consequences that made me worry. 

    i started praying and reading The Bible! And then i started thinking about The BLESSED Verse that says that CHRIST!!!!!!!!!!!!!! PURCHASED us with HIS!!!!!!!!!! BLOOD!!!!!!!

    i looked up The Verse i was thinking about and it turned out that it was Revelation 5:9!!!!!!! - made me remember the number 59! Then i switched to Greek, and Strong's number corresponding to The Word "PURCHASED" was 59! - all of that on the same day! 

    PRAISE THE LORD!!!!!!!!!!!!! FOREVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    That made me realize the difference between FORGIVENESS and ATONEMENT!!!!!!!!!!!

    Later, i found Hebrews 10:18, which confirms that realization!!!!!!!

    PRAISE THE LORD!!!!!!!!!!!! FOREVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    THE MOST PRESIOUS is JOHN 19:28 and 30!!!!!!!!!!! 

    Just research The Meaning of "PANTA TETELESTAI"!!!!!!!!!!!

    Later i would like to write a more detailed post about JOHN 19:28 and 30, and the connection of These BLESSED Verses to MATTHEW 18:21-35!!!!!!!! It is just easier to dedicate one post to one Topic.

    PRAISE THE LORD!!!!!!!!!!!!!! FOREVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Read the other Scripture Yahuweh gives directions on who to pray for -

    including those who are dead in their trespasses and sin ,

    and NOT including those who are sinning a sin that leads to death,

    and NOT including those who have passed from this life.

    See?  Those not born again, but 'alive' and walking around us who we can see or hear,  pray for them when God directs.

    Not for those buried under ground already.

     

    PRAISE THE LORD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! FOREVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    We are ordered to pray the following way:

    MATTHEW 6:9-13.

    Now, let us look at Psalms 49:7 in particular, as well as read the entire BLESSED Psalm 49 carefully.

    JESUS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! BOUGHT us with HIS!!!!!!!!!! BLOOD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Hebrews 10:18; Revelation 5:9!!!!!!!!

    Nothing is impossible with GOD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! MATTHEW 19:26!!!!!!!!!!!

    Now, I am just trying to make general statements. I try to make sure to do what JAMES 3:1 orders. 

    Later i wanted to write a detailed post about the difference between FORGIVENESS and ATONEMENT, and about the MIRACLE i was BLESSED with observing while experiencing the realization of this BLESSED difference. 

    PRAISE THE LORD!!!!!!!!!!!! FOREVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Well I have just read 1 Peter 4-6 in the hopes of trying to understand what is meant by "the dead".  At this point I am not sure if it means "dead" as in in the grave. Or "dead " as in "sinner".  I have to say at this point, 1 Peter 4:6 is a verse I do not understand.  :blink:

    Let us pray for understanding!!!!!!!

    Let us analyze it:

    - There is no indication that The Appostols used proverbs in their letters. If they were to use Proverbs, they would indicate that. JESUS!!!!!!!!!!!!! USED Proverbs. Every time HE!!!!!!!!! USED Proverbs, HE!!!!!!!!!! MERCIFULLY EXPLAINED to HIS slaves, who were listening, that it was a Proverb. The Appostols would have to do the same, if they were to use proverbs. 

    The Bible is very logical, and everything in It is explained clearly. If there is no indication that we are dealing with a Proverb, and there are no additional descriptive words or phrases, like "in their sin", then shouldn't we just understand "the dead" as the dead?

  9. 8 minutes ago, LadyKay said:

    Yes I know that. But what was meant by "the dead"? Are they meaning people caught up in a sin are "the dead"?  And therefor we must preach the  gospel to them in the hopes that the will be saved? In other words. Are "the dead" another name for "the sinner"?  Cause knowing what it is I know. It does not seem like we should be standing over graves preaching to the dead who are in the ground. Cause once your dead. Well my understanding of what the Bible says, that's it. No more time to repent of sin. 

    No, dear sister, we shouldn't preach to the dead, we should preach to the living. We have no power to preach to the dead.

    JESUS!!!!!!!!!!! HAS THE POWER!!!!!!! HE!!!!!!!!!!! PREACHED to the dead - 1 Peter 3:18-22!!!!!!!

    The Bible is a very logical Book. If the dead talked about were "caught up in the sin", it would be indicated clearly, so we would understand, or, we would be told that it is a Proverb. Proverbs have hidden meaning: MATTHEW 13:10-17.

    PRAISE THE LORD!!!!!!!!!!! FOREVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Question:  Do you also not believe any of the Old Testament is for us? 

    My dear sister, that is not what I'm saying at all! Just look at Romans 11:26 in combination with MATTHEW 11:20-26! 

    Again, I'm not suggesting that we should "take it easy" when it comes to sin. In fact I'm trying my very best to say and do the opposite, as much as I can.

    - JOSHUA 7;

    Deuteronomy 28;

    Deuteronomy 32;

    Leviticus 26;

    1 Peter 3:18-22 - the dead had been imprisoned since the flood. Even though, THE SUPREME WORD!!!!!!!!!!!!! REACHED them, they had been imprisoned for about 3000 years at that time.

    ISAIAH 61:1-2!!!!!!!

    This is an account given by Jesus that depicts the finality of our choices after death.  Notice, the rich man wasn't offered salvation after death.  And Lazarus was not sent  back to preach salvation or warn the living. 

     

     

    Luke Chapter 16

    19 There was a certain rich man, which was clothed in purple and fine linen, and fared sumptuously every day:

    20 And there was a certain beggar named Lazarus, which was laid at his gate, full of sores,

    21 And desiring to be fed with the crumbs which fell from the rich man's table: moreover the dogs came and licked his sores.

    22 And it came to pass, that the beggar died, and was carried by the angels into Abraham's bosom: the rich man also died, and was buried;

    23 And in hell he lift up his eyes, being in torments, and seeth Abraham afar off, and Lazarus in his bosom.

    24 And he cried and said, Father Abraham, have mercy on me, and send Lazarus, that he may dip the tip of his finger in water, and cool my tongue; for I am tormented in this flame.

    25 But Abraham said, Son, remember that thou in thy lifetime receivedst thy good things, and likewise Lazarus evil things: but now he is comforted, and thou art tormented.

    26 And beside all this, between us and you there is a great gulf fixed: so that they which would pass from hence to you cannot; neither can they pass to us, that [would come] from thence.

    27 Then he said, I pray thee therefore, father, that thou wouldest send him to my father's house:

    28 For I have five brethren; that he may testify unto them, lest they also come into this place of torment.

    29 Abraham saith unto him, They have Moses and the prophets; let them hear them.

    30 And he said, Nay, father Abraham: but if one went unto them from the dead, they will repent.

    31 And he said unto him, If they hear not Moses and the prophets, neither will they be persuaded, though one rose from the dead.

    - Not the proverb Lazarus, but the real life Lazarus that JESUS!!!!!!!!!!!! raised from the dead did come back from the dead. He was from the city whose name translates as "house of he poor". 

    - Who did the rich man ask for salvation? He asked a man! Abraham is a man!

    Now the key question is:

    WHO!!!!!!!!!!!! shall we ask for salvation?

    - Consider the following: while alive, Lazarus was right at the rich man's gate, suffering and thirsty. The rich man probably had enough water at his place. What stopped him from helping the suffering Lazarus? Was there any barrier between the 2? Was there anything dividing them? Why didn't he show compassion to Lazarus? Isn't that the main point of The Proverb? I think it is, however, that is just my opinion. That brings me to the main point: 

    - Lets study MATTHEW 13: 10-17. That tells us that Proverbs are puzzles. They have hidden meaning. Their meaning is concealed from the ordinary people. Aren't we all ordinary?

    I've heard this before in the context of the question of what does God do for those who've lived in times and places where the gospel of Jesus Christ had not yet reached.  In other words, what about those who've never had the opportunity to hear the gospel?   There seem to be two general classes of answers I've heard from Christians.  The first is basically a "tough luck for them" type of answer where not hearing the gospel is automatic condemnation whether either due to God's sovereignty of not having chosen them as elect to be saved or the fault of lazy Christians who don't evangelize enough.   The second is that God's grace and mercy and love does indeed extend to do something (whether in life or after) to offer salvation to everyone through Jesus Christ in some manner even if Christians never reached them with the gospel.

    Yes, my brother, that is how many questions we can answer if we just diligently study The Bible! We must PRAISE THE LORD!!!!!!!!!!!!! FOREVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! for BLESSING us with the opportunity to finally have open access to various Sourse Texts, as well as being able to compare many different translations and commentaries. After all those centuries, after The Bible being chained to a wall and guarded so that No one could read it, after so much money being paid in the form of indulgence, we are finally BLESSED with seeing THE TRUTH!!!!!!!!!!!!! 

    PRAISE THE LORD!!!!!!!!!!!!! FOREVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    I have not looked into this translation error yet but yes it does go on.

    What also worries me too is pluralism i.e. all god's are the same.

    Not even professional philosophers can adequately answer this:

    What is the truth in "truth is relative" and dont give a relative answer.

    Bear this logic in mind so you are not swayed.

    Oh piglets!

    No brothers and sisters there are no other gods! Deuteronomy 6:4-9!!!!!!!!!!!!

    I do not believe second chances are possible.  We do not see this in the rest of Scripture, in fact we see the opposite.  Once to die, after that, the judgement.  So an isolated text that is even doubtful whether that is the correct translation is too flimsy to base a doctrine on.  Most other respected commentaries indicate that they are referring to those now dead who had received Christ while alive.  Others think it refers to those who were in the bosom of Abraham that Christ preached to while He was dead.    None has believed it means that our loved ones who die without Christ will have a second chance before they come to the great white throne judgement.

    But we must base our understanding solely on The Bible! Dont you agree that commentaries should only be consulted in cases where after a thorough search we are genuinely unable to find any Verses that resolve an issue? Actually, that is what The Bible itself clearly orders us to do!

    And 1 Peter 4:6 is by far not the only Verse that supports the second chance point of view! 

    Please, brothers and sisters, don't get me wrong, I'm not saying that it's ok to sin. On the contrary, I'm trying my best to do and say the opposite, as much as I can in my sinful human state!

    Let's look at some BLESSED Verses:

    -1 Peter 3:18-22;

    -Romans 11:25-32 - another set of Verses that i recently saw was being misinterpreted, just after a brief research into It's interpretation;

    -1 Timothy 2:4;

    -1 Timothy 4:10;

    - MATTHEW 19:25-26 - 1 Timothy 4:10 should be looked at together with This BLESSED Verse!;

    - Something I just realized today: Luke 13:35 in combination with 2 Peter 3:9;

    - Again, 2 Peter 3:9 in combination with MATTHEW 19:25-26.

    The above is not the complete list.

  16. 4 hours ago, GandalfTheWise said:

    Note that Ellicott was the editor and a contributor to the series of commentaries bearing his name.  The I Peter commentary was written by Rev. A.J. Mason in 1879.  Note that Mason was Anglican. He was author of a work entitled "The Relation of Confirmation to Baptism: as taught in Holy Scripture and the Fathers" in 1893.  I could not find an online version of this work to skim but references to it by Anglican conferences strongly suggest it was a standard reference used to provide a biblical framework for confirmation after baptism as a normal practice for the church.  I don't bring this up to debate the point but rather to point out that Mason's commentary (like any other commentator) will have sections swayed by their beliefs on various things.  I think it very important to consult a series of commentaries of differing viewpoints on any particular passage or one runs the risk of becoming indoctrinated rather than educated.

    Considering this commentary on I Peter was written well over a century ago, which translation is he referring to and for what reason?   I think it important to know what translation he is referring to and what exact words he is saying were altered and by whom.  I skimmed Mason's entire commentary on I Peter and couldn't find what he was referring to.    Given the 1879 date of publication, this is well before any modern translations.  To use Mason's words as support for preservation of a particular text or translation (such as the Textus Receptus and KJV) is unwarranted.  Mason's commentary in I Peter 4:1 explicitly supports Tischendorf's and Lachman's choice of Greek variations over and against the Textus Receptus.  There is a similar comment in I Peter 5:1 in which he explicitly says that The best text preserves the word “therefore” after “elders.” which picks a non-Textus Receptus Greek text over the Textus Receptus.  He clearly practiced some amount of textual and translational study comparing various Greek texts and translations and then choosing and commenting on which he thought was best for a particular passage.

    As far as I can tell, there appear to be different ways commentators approach I Peter 4:6.  Some (such as Mason and the Pulpit Commentary on the Bible Hub site) take 4:6 as referring back to 3:19 where Christ is said to have preached to the spirits in prison.  Others take 4:6 as referring to those who are currently either spiritually alive or dead as living human beings in the immediate context of the previous few verses.  Still others take it as referring to those who are living in Christ and those who have died in Christ.

    Here is a comment on the NetBible on this verse (which uses "now").   In context the phrase those who are dead refers to those now dead who had accepted the gospel while they were still living and had suffered persecution for their faith. Though they “suffered judgment” in this earthly life (i.e., they died, in the midst of physical abuse from the ungodly), they will enjoy life from God in the spiritual, heavenly realm because of the gospel (v. 6b). It clearly does not assume a second chance for conversion offered to unbelievers who had died; why would Peter urge people to suffer in this life for the sake of the gospel if he believed that mercy would be extended to all the dead in the hereafter (cf. 2:7-8; 4:1-5, 12-19)?  (https://netbible.org/bible/1+Peter+4)

    It was likely AJ Mason (author) and not Ellicott (editor) who in 1879 who made an ambiguous comment without referencing the translation he had in mind nor spelling out what the change was in 4:6.  He himself in his comments (https://www.studylight.org/commentaries/ebc/1-peter-4.html) on I Peter 4:3 says that "For the time past of our life.—There are two words in the English here which do not stand in the true text, and sadly impede the sense. They are “of our life,” and “us.” The first is added by some scribe to point the contrast with “the rest of his time.” The second—which should be “you,” if anything at all—is simply put to fill the gap after the word “suffice.” If “our life” and “us” were right, we should have St. Peter, quite unlike his wont, identifying himself with the bad life here described, as though he himself had shared in it."  In this, he is directly criticizing the Textus Receptus for adding "us" (and saying it should be "you" if anything) and the KJV translators for adding "our" (in "of our life") where it does not occur in the TR or any Greek text.  His comments on 4:3 essentially back up modern translations as being more correct than the KJV.  If one quotes him as an authority, he's basically saying the TR and KJV have added to scripture with a change in meaning in verse 4:3.

    FWIW, this post is a reflection of how I research a subject such as this.  Mason was clearly practicing some form of textual studies in which he compared various Greek texts along with various translations and used his best judgement as to what most accurately reflected the words and meaning of the original writings.  Cherry picking one of his sentences in isolation from others in nearby verses to support the idea of preservation of particular texts is simply sloppy and unconvincing.  It is ironic to me that Mason's approach to scripture is one that is generally condemned by text preservationists.

    My brother, the reason This Particular Verse is so important is the following:

    The second chance!

     Without judging anyone, I want to point out the general observation - throughout hystory some groups might have to tried to alter THE SUPREME DOCTRINE - meaning the correct understanding of The Bible, based on proper translation of the Source Texts! But PRAISE THE LORD!!!!!!!!!!!!! Psalms 62!!!!!!!! 

    I'm saying "might" because again, I want to make sure not to judge anyone. 

    Let's analyze everything that is going on:

    1) It is easy to see that the vast majority of the denominations today deny the second chance - repentance after death.

    2) Moreover, they say that salvation depends on wether or not we - the humans make the right choice. And before someone starts criticizing me here, please try to understand what im trying to say. Under no circumstances should we ever deliberately make wrong choices. But, one of the worst wrong choices that a person could make is to underestimate THE POWER OF GOD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Another one of the worst wrong choices is underestimating THE LOVE OF GOD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 

    The current post is the result of about at least a year of research that I was BLESSED with the ability to do, research of many sources and many documents. 

    I would like to write a long detailed post where I will try to back up everything I'm saying, using The Bible! Here I was just trying to warn everyone about the existence of A Verse that has been deliberately altered to fit some doctrinal ideas - ideas that are not supported by The Bible, as I will try and prove. 

    PRAISE THE LORD!!!!!!!!!!!!!! FOREVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 

  17. Hello brothers and sisters,

    In order to avoid posting links, I will just tell you what to search for:

    1 Peter 4:6 commentary by bishop Ellicott. I encountered it on the Bible Hub website. 

    Notice that at the beginning of his commentary he states something like "this seems to be one of those rare cases when translation was altered in order to fit the doctrine." 

    And it becomes clear and apparent, if one were to click the "GRK" button. Even if one doesn't speak Greek at all, like me for example, it becomes clear that the words "those who are now" are absent from The Original!

    The most significant one of the inserted words is "now". It completely changes the meaning! From the implication that they were dead at the moment of hearing THE GOOD NEWS!, we get the implication that they were alive at the time of hearing THE SUPREME TRUTH! and are currently dead. 

    According to bishop Ellicott that was done deliberately. Take a look for yourselves, research the subject! 

    Brothers and sisters, GOD'S!!!!!!!!!!!!! WORD IS UNALTERABLE!!!!!!!! IT HAS BEEN PRESERVED through the centuries!!!!!!! The current debates about the actual Source Texts are very "minimal" and do not alter THE DOCTRINE OF THE SUPREME TRUTH!!!!!!!!! they do not alter THE DOCTRINE produced by correct translation of All Scriptures! 

    The only examples where the futile attempts of those, described in Job 25:6, to alter something could be seen in commentaries/interpretations and, fortunately very rarely, in translations. 

    I don't want to judge whoever is responsible for that. I don't know what their motives were. Judging someone is forbidden - MATTHEW 7:1. However, the consequences of their actions have to be corrected as soon as they are noticed! As soon as we see something like that we need to do our best to "blow the whistle"! 

    I would like to say a lot more on  the subject, however, I just want to do my best to report what I was BLESSED with noticing.
