This is Jim Lincoln's fault.

No wonder the country and the church are going to the dogs.

Actually it is an interesting statistic that during a time of rampant Liberalism and atheism, - The Good Book that is least in evidence is the KING JAMES.

Whilst all these MODERN VERSIONS are obviously having no effect upon the young, or anybody else either.

""IF""

But can you prove it??

The article says they are doing this to try and "increase" membership - THAT being so the idea behind it is man-centric NOT God-centric!!!
God will not accept that!

In a time of increasing Liberalism and Arminianism it is sad to see the old Reformed churches in such decline. But what the FCOS is depicting here today, is closer liaison with the likes of the Church of Scotland, - which used to be Christian BUT is now mainly all Liberal.

Another church that is not a church.

Lust instead of God's Scripture.

Satan wins again.

As we observe the church disappear from western society, we see the alternative evil replace it.

Sodom and Gomorah is a church near you in these end times.

Rom 1:28 And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not convenient; 29 Being filled with all unrighteousness, fornication, wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness; full of envy, murder, debate, deceit, malignity; whisperers,

Exactly the same thing happens in Britain. Contractors rip off the Local Government departments - and the Local Authorities pay up without a whimper. Typical public sector mentality.

Looks like Mr. Blunt inadvertently pointed out that context matters, though it was hardly his intent.

The version problem is easily solved by asking, "which version of Greek Text and English translation did GOD Himself use and bring into common use 400 years ago?"

Now why change a successful combination of divine and translation?

Do we doubt divine. - No!

Are we better educated today than in previous centuries. - Yes!

Then why do some people imply that we cannot read the KJB?

Easliy, the church would have been built better and faster, if a better Bible was in use!

You appear to be favouring the papist salvation by human effort. Indeed by education of sinner?
That discounts the work of the Holy Spirit.

Jim. Here is the good news from the Word of God KING JAMES VERSION.

John 6:37 All that the Father giveth me shall come to me; and him that cometh to me I will in no wise cast out. 38 For I came down from heaven, not to do mine own will, but the will of him that sent me. 39 And this is the Father's will which hath sent me, that of all which he hath given me I should lose nothing, but should raise it up again at the last day.

44 No man can come to me, except the Father which hath sent me draw him: and I will raise him up at the last day.

Obviously the Pope wants to negate the power of prayer in government decisions.

And wants mans "reason" to be the prime mover in the government of peoples, - whilst obviating God from any decision making.

The further a church gets away from the Bible, the more Satan destoys it.
The wrath of God is upon them iaw Romans 1:18 "For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who hold the truth in unrighteousness"
Therefore....
v22 "Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools"

The Anglican communion is no longer Biblical or Christian. But they are blind to the truth.

The question is;
Is Satan a socialist?

Communism (socialism's brother) has always fought against the Church, eg. Russia and China.

Someone else who does not know/believe the Bible.

"Gen 1:27 So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them."

1. God created.
2. God created man in HIS OWN IMAGE.

Where does the animal kingdom come into this simple statement.

Sorry, Wayfare, but you're simply wrong. The Greek in verse 18 is (transliterated.....) monogeneis theos, not monogeneis huios

Textus Receptus
θεὸν οὐδεὶς ἑώρακεν πώποτε ὁ μονογενὴς υἱός, ὁ ὢν εἰς τὸν κόλπον τοῦ πατρὸς ἐκεῖνος ἐξηγήσατο

μονογενὴς υἱός - is only begotten SON.

I stick to the Greek Text which GOD has been using these last four centuries and beyond.

As Lockerman has pointed out you appear to be using the Nestle Aland, UBS text which came from such heretics as Westcott and Hort.
This is the dubious one used by modern versions.

Thus do I use the KING JAMES VERSION of the Word of God.

John 1
18 No man has seen God at any time; the only begotten God, who is in the bosom of the Father, He has explained Him.---]NASB[

The Greek here is "begotten Son"

The NASB has not only changed the original Greek but has also changed the doctrine at this point.

KJV
18 No man hath seen God at any time; the only begotten Son, which is in the bosom of the Father, he hath declared him.

No.
The Holy Spirit reveals the truth. This Pastor suggests that the Holy Spirit is failing in these people. Not true!
The true Christian does not commit the sin of suicide. The person who does commit this sin is raised in ordinary worldly society but has no defence against sin or Satan. Dealing daily with killing and death will reduce his value and respect of his own life, hence death becomes the easy option.
Do not underestimate the power of sin in the mortal.

The interesting thing about Germans saying this is that they have had a longer run at it than other European nations. They intentionally invited many Turkish nationals to come and work and stay in their country from the early 60's.

The world is and has been multicultural and multitraditions for millennia and has certainly not been a peaceful place to exist. Why then do these bureaucrats and politicians think that packing many traditions and cultures into one place will not cause trouble and complications.

Thats interesting! After centuries of our Christian based and traditional history "WE" in Britain are being told what to do, as a quote, "British way of life."

How curious it is that these peoples come to our countries for a better way of life for them and their children - only to try to make us like the country and culture they have left, which obviously does not measure up to their "better way of life"

Dr. Sookhdeo is clearly correct in his conviction that muslims really do not want to nor intend to integrate into western societies. They intend to take over!

Now we see what Mrs Merkel in Germany means about multiculturalism failing.

Brighton is an evil anti-Christian town. Last year they went to an old folks home for missionaries, to try to get them to acknowledge sodomite rights before allowing funding.

So its no surprise that they now fly the flags of idolatrous religions and the abomination.

Satan has taken over in Brighton!

May God have mercy on their souls.

Yes Liberalism the neo-religion of Satan and his servants enables the reprobates to publically reject Christianity and make Liberal churches apologise for Christianity, whilst politicians and bureaucrats use this mind set to support atheism, secularism and of course the muslims.

Thus Liberalism proves itself to be anti-Christian.

As for the media - the anti-Christian theme is like a free-for-all for them to come up with all the; "works of the flesh are manifest, which are these; Adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness, 20 Idolatry, witchcraft, hatred, variance, emulations, wrath, strife, seditions, heresies, 21 Envyings, murders, drunkenness, revellings, and such like: of the which I tell you before, as I have also told you in time past, that they which do such things shall not inherit the kingdom of God." (Gal 5)

And of course we must not forget the "politically correct" nature of their output.

What is "fair and independent" about rejecting the Law of God?

What is "fair and independent" about justifying that which is abnormal, perverted and depraved?

God's Law states
