I mock no one for their informed or uninformed choice to read scripture.

On the contrary. When I first became a Christian at 15 I was given an NIV. This served me better than absolutely nothing at all, and with my study I discovered that there was something wrong with it. This lead me to where I am now 20 years later.

Actually those who support all other Modern translations state themselves that "All modern translations tend to disagree against the KJV" to quote Dr Gordon Fee in How to Read the Bible for All its Worth.

This is because of the sources from which they all derive, verses the sources from which the AV derives.

I am sanctified and holy unto God not because I am sinless but rather because I have been set aside for His purposes.

In Israel the temple was holy, the items used in the temple were holy.
These items were strictly for use only in relation to the service of God.

So to are Christians (not "christians" if you know what I mean.

We are a peculiar people set aside for the purposes of God.

Jesus said that every tree that does not bear good fruit will be chopped down and thrown in the fire.

Works do not save you but without them there is no evidence of faith and thus you cannot be convicted in the Court of Heaven as having faith cause you never showed any faith.

Certainly though with some bible software the divisions have or can be removed at will so this is already possible.

I cannot disagree more though on your comment saying there is more potential for good than harm.

I work with many Musilms, and the no 1 attack on scripture is this very fact, that there are so many English translations, and I concur.

I explain to them the reasons behind this and it opens doors into speaking about the corruption in their religion too and the hand behind Islam and "Christianity".

You say you want 1 more English translation.
We have over 300 do you think people will even notice 1 more on the market that it would become the standard?
And that's the whole point, to drown out the gains of the reformation.

Scripture says "He sends the rain on both the just and the unjust"

So if blessing can fall on those unjust (for the sake of the just) so too judgment can fall on the unjust for the sake of the just too even though it may impact them.

I mean who are the souls under the altar having being beheaded in Revelation. I would not call that a blessing.

The issue is Christians should not be so concerned about the Physical outcome in the big scheme of things.

Scripture says to pray that we be found worthy to escape. We may not be worthy to do so. (I am not talking about the false notion of the rapture.)

Our pain could be the salvation of one more soul for Gods Glory.

The same sinister elements running Bush are the same sinister elements running both Mac and Obama. Just do some research on who are their advisers and backers.

Just look at "democracy" in Canada, Australia, England and the US.

They are only two horse races of which both horses are trained and bred with those who hate God and the scriptures.
But then us "christian" nations have thumbed our noses at God and we are beginning to reap the whirlwind of judgment.
We have spat in the face of the advances of the protestant reformation, and we are well on our way back to Rome, and all our political options are controlled from there.
For example the whole Australian Republic idea is up again only 9 years from being voted down to destroy our constitution. Are not Americans find the same forces operating towards the same goal. What about England and Sharia Law.

You took the words right out of my mouth.
I was surprised that of all the multiple choice answers there was not anything about the glory of God.

We do not exist to help, educate, encourage and whatever the church finds it putting it's hand to without all being done to the Glory of God.

If your take away the glory of God then we are acting out of supporting basic Human Rights as outlined by Thomas Aquinas, which is exactly where our entire social system is heading.
In this sense we are becoming more Roman Catholic socially than we realise. Selah

A good message on Sermon Audio might be of interest to you by Dr Scott Johnson regarding Ghost writers.
People like Billy Graham have had it done and some of the Christian books written today are Ghost written by Atheists and Homosexuals with the name of a "famous" Christian pinned to the front.

With all our reading we know less than we did 100 years ago.
And like what they do with the scriptures, drown out the truth with a plethora of other dubious at best and wicked at worst translations, they are also coving their bases with works by Christians, to ensure good godly works are also not read.

I think this is the hand of God acting to wake up those who are conscious to perceive that the only way to know God is to read His Word, pray and seek His face and ask Him for understanding and not the wisdom of man.

The problem lyes in the fact that that Christian better be called to operate in that function because they are going to have to walk through the mine field of secret societies, God haters, conspirators, and be well aware who is trying to pull their strings through advisors.

In fact they would have to be willing to have faith in Christ to help them dodge the bullet (real not metaphorical) intended to shut them up, and have a clean past or they will be shot down in some scandal leaked to the press.

I truly believe a Christian is most needed to run for political office, but unfortunately I have to also add that if they succeeded I would be very skeptical as to what sort of Christian they were. (Though God can do as he pleases and perform miracles eg: in Daniel the three Jewish children came out of the fire not even smelling of smoke)

I then started studying Hebrew back in 1998 with a Genius of a Gentleman, an atheist at that too.
It is clear from examining the passage in Aramaic and Hebrew that Daniel 9 is without doubt refering to Christ.

The break in the passage referring to the prince that shall come is a literary style which breaks from the subject matter as an interjection.

The same sort of thing occurs in Matthew 24 referring to the destruction of the temple.

In regards to the subject of the two witnesses, it might be worthwhile to listen to M J Mencarow's messages on Revelation to start with as an introduction. he is well balanced and not dogmatic.

The problem arises that the name Jesus does not mean that. That is because all translations have brought across the Latinised version of our Saviour (notice that Saviour is spelled with a U because as any good dictionary will show Saviour means Christ and savior means any sort of savior. Why does modern translations use Savior?)

Rather a German ex Roman Catholic Priest named Joannes Greber who was involved with occult practices like speaking with spirits ended up producing a translation with the help of the spirit guide which later was used as the basis for the NWT.
This was denied by JW's till it came out in court and they could not avoid the evidence.

Mr Greber was told by his spirit guide that the Bible was corrupt and that he would help him fill in the gaps.

The Jesuit Conspiracy
The Secret Plan of the Order

Published in 1848 and it has been scanned in by scribd.com

Just type in "Abatte Leone and Jesuit" in google and this pulls it up.

Mr Leone was a Jesuit in training and overheard a high level meeting.

What is concerning is when you examine the who's who in the occult there is a golden thread that keeps coming back to these two guys.
Madam Blavatsky, Alister Crowley, Anton La Vey, even Timothy Leary, C S Lewis etc. The Chronicles of Narnia make some very Satanic claims. That is why I hold no respect for any "man of God".

I read a book at the beginning of the year by Abatte Leone written in the 1840's the name escapes me (I had 4 hours sleep yesterday and had to get up 2:30 this morning for work. Memories on the blink)

No Pope firstly can be saved, else they would reject their office and repent - wish that would happen just once, that would be so glorifying to God.

Secondly being buried in a Trapezoid shaped coffin with the same markings as on the ones explained and drawn by Anton La Vey founder of the Church of Satan who was also founder of the Order of the Trapezoid, he explains that the Trapezoid is a powerful occult shape which draws in and holds dark energy to purpose the resurrection of the dead one.

Also the use of the M and the cross is exactly same as Anton La Vey's drawing which has and upside down cross and a W.

What though is interesting is that they are not claiming to be opposed to each other. The Popes coffin merely was facing the cameras in a different direction but when you turn the coffin in the correct way to match that of La Vey's presto, we have both an upside down cross and the letter W.

W in reference to the Hebrew letter vav which is 6.

it reminds me of a sign that was in a church I was very involved with when I was an enthusiastic, energetic christian. When my heart burned with a zeal and had not been cooled by the "cares of this world" even the "cares of the church".

The sign read "All One In Christ."

The hypocrisy and godlessness I saw in this church and many other I was associated with had me reading the sign as Al one in Christ, as I felt terribly alone.

Today it is clear my continuance Alone in Christ is purely because the church today has dropped the El from their line up. If yu know what I me El meaning God and L removing the double L.

I personally find all the church I have attended over the last 14 years unable to feed my hunger for God, rather sprouting vain philosophies and psychologies of man and pouring Gods word through those filters.

Hey forget the church, I have trouble getting my family to desire the reading of the word of God over ENTERTAINMENT.
They go to church but that's all they do.I cannot get them to care about the things of God beyond 2 hours on a Sunday.

The Church is sick, and the problems I face in my home life are merely a microcosm of the big picture most Christians will not face. The TV needs to go, stringent controls over the comptuter also is required.
