Hopefully

”You can go to God Most High to hide. You can go to God All-Powerful for protection. I say to the Lord, “You are my place of safety, my fortress. My God, I trust in you.” God will save you from hidden dangers and from deadly diseases. You can go to him for protection. He will cover you like a bird spreading its wings over its babies. You can trust him to surround and protect you like a shield. You will have nothing to fear at night and no need to be afraid of enemy arrows during the day. You will have no fear of diseases that come in the dark or terrible suffering that comes at noon. A thousand people may fall dead at your side or ten thousand right beside you, but nothing bad will happen to you! All you will have to do is watch, and you will see that the wicked are punished. You trust in the Lord for protection. You have made God Most High your place of safety. So nothing bad will happen to you. No diseases will come near your home. He will command his angels to protect you wherever you go. Their hands will catch you so that you will not hit your foot on a rock. You will have power to trample on lions and poisonous snakes. The Lord says, “If someone trusts me, I will save them. I will protect my followers who call to me for help. When my followers call to me, I will answer them. I will be with them when they are in trouble. I will rescue them and honor them. I will give my followers a long life and show them my power to save.”“ ‭‭Psalms‬ ‭91‬:‭1‬-‭16‬ ‭

”We know that the law is spiritual, but I am not. I am so human. Sin rules me as if I were its slave. I don’t understand why I act the way I do. I don’t do the good I want to do, and I do the evil I hate. And if I don’t want to do what I do, that means I agree that the law is good. But I am not really the one doing the evil. It is sin living in me that does it. Yes, I know that nothing good lives in me—I mean nothing good lives in the part of me that is not spiritual. I want to do what is good, but I don’t do it. I don’t do the good that I want to do. I do the evil that I don’t want to do. So if I do what I don’t want to do, then I am not really the one doing it. It is the sin living in me that does it. So I have learned this rule: When I want to do good, evil is there with me. In my mind I am happy with God’s law. But I see another law working in my body. That law makes war against the law that my mind accepts. That other law working in my body is the law of sin, and that law makes me its prisoner. What a miserable person I am! Who will save me from this body that brings me death? I thank God for his salvation through Jesus Christ our Lord! So in my mind I am a slave to God’s law, but in my sinful self I am a slave to the law of sin.“ ‭‭Romans‬ ‭7‬:‭14‬-‭25‬ ‭

”We know that the law is good if someone uses it right. We also know that the law is not made for those who do what is right. It is made for those who are against the law and refuse to follow it. The law is for sinners who are against God and all that is pleasing to him. It is for those who have no interest in spiritual things and for those who kill their fathers or mothers or anyone else. It is for those who commit sexual sins, homosexuals, those who sell slaves, those who tell lies, those who don’t tell the truth under oath, and those who are against the true teaching of God.“ ‭‭1 Timothy‬ ‭1‬:‭8‬-‭10‬ ‭

”And the second command is like the first: ‘Love your neighbor the same as you love yourself.’“ ‭‭Matthew‬ ‭22‬:‭39‬ ‭ERV‬‬ If we ourselves are okay with being slaves in our hearts then slavery is okay. If we ourselves do not want to be a slave then it is not okay to enslave another. God preferred a man to have one wife but should the man take on more God also gave rules for this. I think it’s rare to find people who truly love their neighbors. People don’t look at others as themselves but an outside person who is separate from themselves. God told the Israelites they would be punished like no others had. He said he’d make a good example out of them. ”“The Lord will let your enemies defeat you. You will go to fight against your enemies one way, but you will run away from them seven different ways. The bad things that happen to you will make all the people on earth afraid. “You will be engaged to a woman, but another man will have sexual relations with her. You will build a house, but you will not live in it. You will plant a vineyard, but you will not gather anything from it. “Other people will be allowed to take your sons and your daughters. Day after day you will look for your children. You will look for them until your eyes become weak and blind—but you will not find them. And God will not help you. “A nation that you don’t know will take all your crops and everything you worked for. People will treat you badly and abuse you. The things you see will make you go crazy. “The Lord will send you and your king away to a nation you don’t know. You and your ancestors have never seen that nation. There you will serve false gods made of wood and stone. In the countries where the Lord will send you, the people will be shocked at the terrible things that happen to you. They will laugh at you and say bad things about you.“ ‭‭Deuteronomy‬ ‭28‬:‭25‬, ‭30‬, ‭32‬-‭34‬, ‭36‬-‭37‬ ‭ This punishment looks familiar to me.

I see a hummingbird, monkeys, and a duck! Cool!

Yea they have. You’re a man. If it was up to me I’d ask one to marry me but as a woman I will not ask a man to marry me. You don’t date men so do you know how they are these days with dating? I just met a guy a few weeks ago went ahead and took a chance gave him my number when he asked. He called within 10 minutes of me waking away and asked if I had condoms within the next hour. Even though he said “I’ve been watching you for a while and I finally had the courage to approach you and I noticed you carry yourself as a lady.” He lives in my neighborhood but we had never spoken before. He is not the first to be concerned with sexual activity so soon and before marriage. This happens alot. When I told him it’s against my religion to have sex before marriage as it is his - he’s Muslim- I was crazy. Men who claim to be Christian are still fornicating as well.

No offense taken. I went and looked each up, I didn’t already know it. I checked to make sure the version I was reading wasn’t missing a lot.

With the spirts help we understand what is said. imo the only Bible version that is not good is the one that omits that Jesus Christ is Lord and all who believe he came to earth as a man and died for our sins will be saved.

I don’t see loopholes because I want to obey God. Some stuff I read is hard on me because I’m being convicted and need to change. I don’t look for loopholes and the spirit doesn’t provide loopholes. I ask the spirit like so I have to stop having sex unless married? But men these days require sex for dating what am I supposed to do???? Answer- stop having sex unless you’re married. Guess who’s single because of they way American dating works. Me that’s who. Lol I hope people who have been married a few decades don’t start the stories of how they waited 30 years ago. Times have changed.

I read in spirit and got you are an adulteress if you cheat on your husband or remarry while he is alive. I simply accepted it and had no further questions.

They look the same to me. I’m getting the same message as KJV when I read the esv you posted.

Here are the sixteen whole verses: Matthew 17:21: "Howbeit this kind goeth not out but by prayer and fasting." / with this verse being missing I already know prayer and fasting is required to cast out demons. Matthew 18:11: "For the Son of man is come to save that which was lost." /“The Son of Man came to find lost people and save them.”” ‭‭Luke‬ ‭19‬:‭10‬ ‭ERV‬‬ Matthew 23:14: "Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye devour widows' houses, and for a pretence make long prayer: therefore ye shall receive the greater damnation."/ “But they cheat widows and take their homes. Then they try to make themselves look good by saying long prayers. God will punish them very much.”” ‭‭Mark‬ ‭12‬:‭40‬ ‭ERV‬‬ Mark 7:16: "If any man have ears to hear, let him hear." / Not found in ERV don’t see what one would miss here though Mark 9:44: "Where their worm dieth not, and the fire is not quenched."/“The worms that eat the people in hell never die. The fire there is never stopped.” ‭‭Mark‬ ‭9‬:‭48‬ ‭ERV‬‬ Mark 9:46: "Where their worm dieth not, and the fire is not quenched."/“The worms that eat the people in hell never die. The fire there is never stopped.” ‭‭Mark‬ ‭9‬:‭48‬ ‭ERV‬‬ Mark 11:26: "But if ye do not forgive, neither will your Father which is in heaven forgive your trespasses."/ “But if you don’t forgive others, then your Father in heaven will not forgive the wrongs you do.” ‭‭Matthew‬ ‭6‬:‭15‬ ‭ERV‬‬ Mark 15:28: "And the scripture was fulfilled, which saith, And he was numbered with the transgressors."/“They put a sign above his head with the charge against him written on it: “this is jesus, the king of the jews.” Two criminals were nailed to crosses beside Jesus—one on the right and the other on the left.” ‭‭Matthew‬ ‭27‬:‭37‬-‭38‬ ‭ERV‬‬ Luke 17:36: "Two men shall be in the field; the one shall be taken, and the other left."/“There may be two women working together. One will be taken and the other will be left.”” ‭‭Luke‬ ‭17‬:‭35‬ ‭ERV‬ stopping here.

Above is From the quote of another- I don’t either but if asked I say I believe God does not want us to get tattoos. Remember how I feel about the masses saying it’s okay. The quotes from others don’t sway me. I do know when people know for sure they are doing the right thing they don’t normally seek advice from others. If a Christian wants to do something and they have to ask many to feel good about it the answer is NO. Just my opinion.

Can you give more details? If I only read the ERV what exactly would I be missing?

What parts exactly? Or what would one miss if they didn’t check KJV too?
