It's impossible that the KJV translators couldn't have added the words to 8:1 (and other places) because God Almighty dictated His holy words through them (in 17th Century Englyshe no less). Modern versions are simply more accurate than the flawed King James, which was created upon the orders of a secular king (using inferior sources) to codify his brand of Protestantism.

Each Bible translation has a methodology ranging from most "literal" to conveying the most accurate meaning. "Literal" is in quotes because there are numerous differences between the ancient source languages and English: vocabulary, verb tenses, idioms, etc. It is impossible to produce a literal translation from ancient Hebrew, Aramaic, and Koine Greek into English, regardless of the time the translation was produced. Only a very few translations are paraphrases. Every translation explains its purpose and methodology in the introduction. Some lean toward translating the meaning of the text, others lean toward a word-for-word translation. It is strongly advisable to read the introduction, then decide if that is the methodology you prefer. The New American Standard Bible is considered to be the most literal translation of the Bible by many people. Personally, I prefer the new NRSVue, the NET, and the NIV (in that order). Also, the New, New Testament is very interesting reading. When I want to read an Englyshe translation, I prefer the 1599 Geneva Bible to the King James.

Election is to service/stewardship, not merely salvation. That is what I have taught and fully elaborated upon. All this response demonstrates is how someone can flip a couple of words and change a teaching to say exactly opposite what was given. Whether by deviousness or ignorance I don't really care. Busted. 7 hours ago, David1701 said: You are contradicting the word of God. Rom. 11:5-8 (Webster) Oh really? Let's look at just what you highlighted. 8 hours ago, David1701 said: 7 What then? Israel hath not obtained that which he seeketh for; but the election hath obtained it, and the rest were blinded {blinded: or, hardened} So what is clearly stated is that other than a remnant of Israel, the rest were blinded. It does not say condemned to eternal damnation. So if that is what you are implying, you are not teaching Biblical doctrine, but by definition teaching a doctrine of men, by interpreting a statement to mean something that is not being said for whatever devious purposes. Paul goes on to say that their blindness is only temporary to serve God's purpose for extending the Gospel of His Son to the Gentiles. I will leave it to anyone interested to read the entire chapter for context. 8 hours ago, David1701 said: I did not ask for what purpose God has saved you. I asked from what God has saved you. Perhaps you would like to answer the question asked, rather than pretending that I asked a totally different question. There was no pretentiousness in my response, I merely posted a statement more consistent with the topic at hand. You want an answer to your impertinent question, I will be brief: [G3709] wrath I leave it to you to fully see how this word is used differently in context, as wrath of man rather than wrath of God. Even that is used both to describe God's reaction to that generation's rejection of their Messiah, and the wrath to come, spoken of in at least a half dozen scriptures, and the best answer. Now in keeping with your tone, first let me say that "everybody knows that" and "was there a point in you asking? Not that I am interested in an answer, I have had my fill of your insouciance. 8 hours ago, David1701 said: 22 What if God, willing to show his wrath, and to make his power known, endured with much longsuffering the vessels of wrath fitted to destruction: {fitted: or, made up} If you would align your teaching with the Messiah's in the Gospels, you would know that the vessels of wrath fitted to destruction left the earth long ago. This is not a reference to "wrath to come" but to that generation. Matthew 23: 35 that on you may come all the righteous blood shed on the earth, from the blood of righteous Abel to the blood of Zechariah, son of Berechiah, whom you murdered between the temple and the altar. 36 Assuredly, I say to you, all these things will come upon this generation. This is classic misinformation, as you claim to teach Biblical doctrine, but all you offer in support is a couple a statements by Paul out of context. Everybody knows that Paul is the most maligned of teaching, and by those who claim to teach scripture, yet offer no support from as a minimum: Isaiah (esp. 40-66), the Messianic Psalms of David, not the mention the four Gospels and perhaps Acts. There is no Biblical doctrine that can be taken from a few statements by Paul, out of context. Isaiah 8:20 To the law and to the testimony! If they do not speak according to this word, it is because there is no light in them. The present Gospel toward natural Israel is rightly comprehended beginning here. Isaiah 40: 1 Comfort ye, comfort ye my people, saith your God. 2 Speak ye comfortably to Jerusalem, and cry unto her, that her warfare is accomplished, that her iniquity is pardoned: for she hath received of the Lord's hand double for all her sins. Two temples, two judgments accomplished. What remains is to speak comfort and consolation to Israel. This is confirmed in Romans 11, from which you have incorrectly quoted: 30 For as you were once disobedient to God, yet have now obtained mercy through their disobedience, 31 even so these also have now been disobedient, that through the mercy shown you they also may obtain mercy. 32 For God has committed them all to disobedience, that He might have mercy on all. (or is it send them to hell?) Would you say that historically the Church has been an instrument of mercy, comfort, and consolation toward Israel? 8 hours ago, David1701 said: do you understand what Phil. 2:12,13 means? Yes, but thanks anyway. 8 hours ago, David1701 said: It's very simple: God has chosen to save some of Adam's hell-deserving race, before the foundation of the world. He predestines these to salvation, by grace, through hearing the gospel and through faith in his Son. The rest are left in the sin they desire and are left to the consequences of that sin. Eph. 1:3-6 (Webster) So let's look at this one closely. Nowhere in the meager scripture reference you have provided is there any reference to "Adam's hell-deserving race". You go on to day that the elect are chosen for salvation and the rest are left to their hell-deserving, sinners destiny. 8 hours ago, David1701 said: 4 According as he hath chosen us in him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blame before him in love: 5 Having predestinated us to the adoption of children to himself by Jesus Christ, according to the good pleasure of his will, 6 To the praise of the glory of his grace, in which he hath made us accepted in the beloved. Looking at what you have highlighted, nothing supports the hell-deserving comments made above. And yet you ask? 8 hours ago, David1701 said: What are you talking about? I've not condemned anyone! Quit the false accusations. Asked and answered. 8 hours ago, David1701 said: Okay, so you don't believe in salvation by grace alone. Nope, what I said twice now is even now in the quote you posted. 8 hours ago, David1701 said: I quoted you as saying the doctrines of grace is the Gospel. My response was that the Full Gospel is much more than saved by Grace alone. I have fully supported my position and I am sure as the Truth I taught not going to repeat myself. 8 hours ago, David1701 said: What religion are you; Right! No problems with your tone at all, just a supercilious and inappropriate question that only someone not given to truth would ask. Surely you weren't expecting an answer, and this is all you get. 8 hours ago, David1701 said: I believe in POTS Cute. I assume you keep that POT nice and shiny so you can see yourself. Don't really care for acronyms. 8 hours ago, David1701 said: You are repeatedly misrepresenting what I post. And you have not responded to any of my posts in good faith either. I have said all I need or intend to share in this thread. If you ever want to start a thread on Romans 9-11, which you have consistently and historically mutilated, I am confident that many members would love to discuss your interpretations. 2 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is more strictly defined in scripture as "in the mouth of two or three witnesses every matter must be established". To explain, people quote a scripture and explain what it means to them, claiming they are expounding Biblical doctrine. This is not the Way. A quote by Peter is verified in Isaiah, or a Psalm of David, or Mosaic Law because all scripture is profitable for "instruction in righteousness", (Torah). What you are failing to comprehend my dear sister is that you are talking about something totally different. What Brother enoob is teaching and you are so rudely and wrongly calling false, is Logos, and the use of 'written word' for instruction and did need some clarification, but not at all incorrect, which I have provided. What you are describing quite inaccurately is Rhema, or'spoken word'. The problem is you are using written word to essentially falsely describe. I don't want to say that you are teaching false doctrine, I discern from your writing that you are immature in the Word of Truth, quoting a whole lot of scripture, to teach Rhema. When you are trained in the Word of Life you will have right comprehension. The Living Word comes as an enfolding light. If you feel that God is speaking to you as you read the Bible, by grace I believe He is, but if you are going to make this claim and teach Biblical doctrine, you must follow the rule of Logos and confirm your claims with other witnesses, which you do in many cases, but it is often by rote, and inaccurate. This is revealed to me by a heavy-handedness in over quoting scriptures, some which don't quite actually apply to the teaching, but are "related scriptures", connected by word study and can provide wonderful insight and scriptural knowledge, but not enlightening Rhema word, which I will now describe to you. First, put your Bible away . Sit quietly before His presence, and when you are "drawn into His presence" you will be surrounded by an enfolding, swirling, shimmering, living Light that "speaks", but in groanings that cannot be uttered. At the bush, Moses is said to hear The Voice from a "consuming fire". It is more accurately an enfolding "flame of fire" which is actually a swirling light, or in the case of an actual fire, a swirling heat that mystics have meditated on and listened to the voice of demons for eons. The 'spoken word' must be received into you heart as the already described groanings, sighs, or as some rabbinical sources as "utterances", such as the ten utterances heard by all on Sinai. What actually terrorized them was they were not hearing with their ears! The Spirit (or demon for pagans) must speak to the heart of man. This is heard like a voice, but actually registers in a completely different area of the brain. Here is more scripture, beyond my description of the "flame of fire". Ezekiel 3:10 Moreover He said to me: Son of man, receive into your heart all My words that I speak to you, and hear with your ears. The second witness is this: Psalm 62:11 God has spoken once, Twice I have heard this: That power belongs to God. This verse has several Talmudic Sage interpretations that are inconsistent, such as "the writer is referring to the first and second giving of the Torah", which is very good. It is also describing Ezekiel 3:10 received by the son of man, who is glorified by the cross, and who is necessary to receive much heavenly messages described by the Lord as "angels ascending and descending upon the son of man", and must be received in the same way, from the heart, to the Voice, received by a mind that has been spiritually renewed. Believe it or not, this has actually been scientifically proven by a researcher of psychology named Dr. Julian Jaynes, who did studies on schizophrenics (i.e. the demon possessed) and using brain wave studies proved that what secularists call "auditory hallucinations", are always received in a non-auditory region on the opposite hemisphere of the brain than were words we hear with our physical ears. When the Voice tells the son of man, "hear with your ears" He is referring to "spiritual ears" of an enlightened mind. Now to better explain the enfolding light of God's Spoken word, once you are drawn into His presence, the Living Word surrounds you with spiraling, waves and particles of light which follow simple mathematical number sequences, called in science, for example, Fibonacci spirals, and other mathematical relationships that are found throughout nature, and are visual representations of "the Word of God", the very creative force behind nature. The Glory of God is that this spiraling light speaks! As I have already described. Moses would sit and listen to when the enfolding cloud rested over the Ark, Numbers 7: 89 Now when Moses went into the tabernacle of meeting to speak with Him, he heard The Voice of One speaking to him from above the cover that was on the ark of the Testimony, from between the two cherubim; thus He spoke to him. David did the same thing, he would sit before the Ark and hear The Voice of Yahu, by the Anointing. That is why a true anointed man of God does not need a teacher. 1 John 2: 20 But you have an anointing from the Holy One, and you know all things. 21 I have not written to you because you do not know the truth, but because you know it, and that no lie is of the truth. 22 Who is a liar but he who denies that Jesus is the Christ? He is antichrist who denies the Father and the Son. 23 Whoever denies the Son does not have the Father either; he who acknowledges the Son has the Father also. 24 Therefore let that abide in you which you heard from the beginning. If what you heard from the beginning abides in you, you also will abide in the Son and in the Father. 25 And this is the promise that He has promised us—eternal life. 26 These things I have written to you concerning those who try to deceive you. 27 But the anointing which you have received from Him abides in you, and you do not need that anyone teach you; but as the same anointing teaches you concerning all things, and is true, and is not a lie, and just as it has taught you, you will abide in Him. A true teacher of the Anointing speaks Truth, because he does not speak from his own understanding, but what he receives, he presents unto the Ecclesia. I am such a man of God who is speaking to you now. This is a wonderful day for me, because I received permission from the Spirit to share on this forum what I was never allowed to on CF.com for the past three years, which is a very dark place of excess head know- ledge and was not found worthy to receive. There are many on this forum also, but they are committed enough for the chastening of the Spirit and receive correction. I now understand the Lord was training me to discern spirits in a written form, and how to correct in meekness. Now, let the Word of God come Forth. Get ready, get ready, get ready! O happy day! More to come soon. In Spirit and in Truth, James, brother in Christ Minister Monardo, unto all the brethren beloved in Christ, Berit Shalom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
