Amos 3.5
Surely the Lord God will do nothing, but he revealeth his secrets unto his servants the prophets.

My God, the word says there are some people who God will do absolutely nothing for, they will perish and God will not be there for them.
becuase of one thing, they arent true servants.

im not gonna say all this to everybody else, becuase God showed me this for ME... becuase im the one with the problem, but...

Am i a servant?
Do i like to wear kingly robes (mentally and spiritually), or do i submit to dress like a servant?
do i like to be acknowledged, or am i servant who is just here to serve?
do i obey the Lord, no matter what, just becuase im a servant?
would i give it all up and allow myself to be nelgected, becuase im a servant?
do i get angry becuase people look down or me or treat me wrong, or am i just a servant whos place isnt to correct them or be angry?
do i do all that i do to be pleasing and worshipful unto my master, as a servant?
do i take all my problems and hardships without anger or pride, because im just a servant?
do i submit to the Lord at all times, becuase im a servant?
do i expect or desire to get this or that for all that ive been doing, when im just doing what a servant is supposed to be doing?
do i accept it when i dont recieve praise or recognition for doing the things im simply supposed to be doing anyway, becuase im a servant?
do i live a life submission and humility... becuase im a servant?
man...
only those people who truely fall down on their knees as servants of the Lord, will ever really know God and have him be there for them.
becuase other people dont love him or honor him enough to do that for him. they refuse.
i mean, i look at my life, does it fit the picture of a humble servant unto a master?

:( ...no.
Lord change me...:cry: .
i cant do this anymore... i have to serve you, i want to serve you.

paul called himself the slave of God, even under grace.
would we be willing to live the life paul lived...? we should.
and i beleive in prosperity and joy, but that shouldnt make me unwilling to do all things for my Lord and master. ya know?
would we be willing to be crucified and die, in serving the Lord...?

have i submitted to leave the palaces, to live in the broken down house of poverty and hardship, becuase im a servant?
have i submitted to leaving the robes, to wear the servants garment, becuase im a servant?
have i submitted to be the last person on the adgenda, because im the servant?
im not talking about physical poverty and etc, but rather a heart that desires to be pleased rather than do the Lords will at all times, though if he does call me to live in poverty, i must submit and do his will as a servant.

do i sin continually, or am i servant?
do i resist the thoughts and desires of God becuase i dont want to do that?
Jesus...
do we hold fast to prosperity and joy teaching becuase its true, or becuase were to selfish to do any and all things for God? is it true for you (and it is true) or just an excuse to live however you want?

Lee.

Thats why I stay away from those other versions...
1 Corinthians 14:33 For God is not the author of confusion, but of peace, as in all churches of the saints.

And thats just what the devil has done here, all these other versions have brought about CONFUSION... why the KJV only? Check out http://www.av1611.org

actually your right, my memory has failed me, i dont know where i read that at. i would have sworn it was from the KJV.

but i do love many translations, the KJV has several problems of it's own.
it contradicts itself in places, and when you research greek and hebrew words you find them to mean something totaly diffrent than what the KJV says.
they certainly arent dumb.
the J.B.Phillips new testament in modern english is awesome.
ive heard the message bible is great.
and i love several.

Listen man, God has given us a Authorized Bible, with 0 errors. Don't let people tell you that there is something wrong with it. God is NOT the author of confusion. He gave us 1 authorized version...

Don't worry about the hebrew and the greek, that stuff will just mess you up because you don't have any idea of the culture they were in, they thought of things differently im sure.

Just trust God's word, his KJB for what it is. GODS word.

God bless you brother in Jesus, I pray that the Lord will bless you... remember this verse...
Matthew 5:
3 Blessed are the poor in spirit: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
4 Blessed are they that mourn: for they shall be comforted.
5 Blessed are the meek: for they shall inherit the earth.
6 Blessed are they which do hunger and thirst after righteousness: for they shall be filled.
7 Blessed are the merciful: for they shall obtain mercy.
8 Blessed are the pure in heart: for they shall see God.
9 Blessed are the peacemakers: for they shall be called the children of God.
10 Blessed are they which are persecuted for righteousness' sake: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
11 Blessed are ye, when men shall revile you, and persecute you, and shall say all manner of evil against you falsely, for my sake.

Sounds to me like your hungering and thirsting after righteousness.

dude...
the KJV is full of problems.
it contradicts itself, which can be proven.
and im not saying, the theology seems too contradict. i mean historically contradicts, one place they did one thing, and another place says they did another. its in the bible man.

man, no disrespect, but you are far off.
the men of God wrote the word, they didnt translate it into our language.
the people who did messed it up in someways.

though im not saying you need to doubt the bible, becuase i believe it is 98% perfect or something like that, but it is clear that no it is not the way it was meant to be and it is not perfect.
the KJV is not the only bible given to us, no way.
man, thats simply wrong.

yes i hunger after righteousness, but that has nothing to do with thinking the KJV is simply it. because it cant be, and its not.

sorry jz4jc but the KJV cannot be regarded as 100% authorized by God or error free.
example go look at the word "baptizo" I think... mmm was long ago when I got to this.
Anyways that is of no importance.
Who authorized the KJV?
When the KJV was done the king of England was the head of the church and he said they can translate the bible as long as they don't put in anything that is against him and his church... doesn't sound like a nice idea to me.

But even a 100% error free translation will not help everyone. Since it is not the words that stand there that get people saved... The WORD OF GOD is ALIVE! the bible is a dead book... this might even sound like blasphemy hey? hehe
No the real GREAT thing about the bible is that when you read it God speaks to you throught the bible. The bible stays a book. And yes it might have mistakes.. My Afrikaans translation has many many errors in small places.. but still God speaks throught the bible to his children and even to those that are not yet saved.

And endure don't be discouraged to go look at the greek/hebrew just keep in mind that this is still a fallible human method.

Sorry for my bad spelling :p

Fact is that you can say any Bible you want is the one and true uthorised Bible of God. But you dont really have any proof for that. God didnt tell his words and commands in the English language. He told it to us in the Hebrew and the Greek language. Which your saying will just mess us up. The Bible is already messed up and that messing up is because it was translated by miseducated although sometimes well meaning people. Who just wanted to be able to read the bible in their own language. The only Bible that is without error is the original translation, such as the one found on the Lost Sea Scrolls.

So before you go round telling others that the KJB is the ordained and consecrated and completely errorless Bible, perhaps you should rethink your ideas.
