Also the KJV translators would consider it utter nonsense not to have the Bible in contemporary English! They gave these verses for having the AV translation:

God used both His servants and the times of 1611 to write His Bible.

Whereas in these modern Liberal times we have observed the MYRIAD of versions all different in their language and vernacular competing to be the quote truth and Word of God. How confusing can you get. God does not use confusion to teach His doctrines.

The King James Version is NOT wrong in its translation of the Word of God as you try so hard to imply. It has been used by God Himself for centuries to build His Church.

God did not have to WAIT till the 20th century to reveal His Word, His truth and His doctrines.
Nor did God have to wait for the "education" of His people in modern language form to communicate His truth and doctrine.

Remember the Holy Spirit reveals the truth to God's disciples - Not their human comprehension.

Christ Jesus is the mediator of the Covenant of Grace, just as HE is the Saviour of the believers of the Old Testament times and the New Testament times.

So the Covenant of Grace is established by God in Christ for Abraham as much as for all times since. Now some people apparently think that God's promise about Abraham's SEED - was a lie??? Do you really think Abraham thought like that??? Of course not!!!

God made the Covenant promise to Abraham AND HIS SEED. Gal 3:16. Now this promise made to SEED is not one person but the elect of God, in Christ, in all generations.

Gal 3:17 "the covenant, that was confirmed before of God in Christ"
This cannot be disannulled otherwise God's promise would be of no effect.

So all your arguments to "disannul" God's promise are being aimed at God and implying that We cannot trust in God's promise!!!

God's divine plan and purpose of the Covenant of Grace began with Abraham - AND HIS SEED -
"Genesis 17:7 And I will establish my covenant between me and thee and thy seed after thee in their generations for an everlasting covenant, to be a God unto thee, and to thy seed after thee"

Sadly their are some people who cannot accept this Word of God!!

"V10 This is my covenant, which ye shall keep, between me and you and thy seed after thee; Every man child among you shall be circumcised."

As you know circumcision has been changed by Christ into baptism.

But the age of the SEED has not been changed and therefore God admits the children of Covenantal parents (of course) into Covenant with HIM. This is the logical promise of God and illustrates the "whole" counsel of God on Baptism.

Ok folks the new "gender" acceptable forms are sodomite, homosexual, queer, transgender, lesbian, ......????

Being a normal male/female is no longer acceptable to Liberal-mania governed western countries.

Note also how evil crimes such as quote, "sexual violence, body shaming, a “hyper-masculinized sporting culture,” acts of domestic terrorism and much more..." - are to be blamed on being male!!! So being queer is a much safer nicer anti-criminal way to live in todays society???

Yes! Satan is definitely in charge of the nations today.

Now project this fact into the future of Europe and see what effect all these muslims will have on European nations including the UK, as they grow and increase in number.

The Liberal-socialist influence on European governments and the EU will continue to encourage the muslims to flood into Europe. Then the muslims will take over.

If Satan wanted a way to take over the western nations and force them into his religious heresies and ignorance whilst oppressing the people - Then Islam is the answer.

Meanwhile the Lefty Liberals live in complete ignorance, blind to the darkness oncoming among us.

A world without God is hell!
A life without God is death!

I suppose if you are born into it and are not aware of any other way of political and social life then one simply accepts it as the norm.

The actual living experience of another completely different way of life and philosophy of life is very different to simply being made aware of it by conversation.

If N.Korea was released from its despotic tyranny and provided with more commonly accepted ways of society and community then they would find their prayers take another direction.

Pornography is just another satanic corruption of the heart and mind of people today.

Brain-washing the children - What a neat way to bring perversions and depravity into modern society.

Satan really is hard at work in modern times.

GOD states:
Lev 20:13 If a man also lie with mankind, as he lieth with a woman, both of them have committed an abomination: they shall surely be put to death; their blood shall be upon them."

Putting the words "Democrat" and "high moral standards" together must be the oxymoron of the year!!!

The church today is dying it is disappearing therefore the Proverb - "When the wicked are multiplied, transgression increaseth: but the righteous shall see their fall." Prov 29:16.
Is sadly an accurate statement upon todays generation.

Agreeing with the satanic communist ideology and its daft idea that all people are born equal - ie the same and interchangeable - demonstrates how blind and ignorant the human race is becoming!!

Marxism begat Russia and China and their definition of "equality"?? which provides a nation with tyranny, autocracy and despotism, eg: Stalin, Mao Tse and Putin!!!
= = Which by the way is exactly the policies that the Democrats love to sneak into America today.

Many in churches today have not fully grasped the relevance of the Covenant of Grace, which begins with Abraham in Genesis and of course includes Abraham's seed - his children. God's wonderful gift of children obviously becomes a very important part of the celebration of faith, the gift of God, especially to the Covenanted parents already members of HIS Church, the Reformed Church.

Like Abraham and in worship, praise and celebration of their children, the Covenanted Parents bring these children to God by Baptism, as the Bible teaches. Thus demonstrating their love and commitment both to God, His Church and their children.

Obama is definitely anti-Christian.
But of course that is prime Democrat policy these days.

The Reformation of the 16th century was an act of God to bring Christians back to Scripture and to protest [hence Protestant] of the Roman Catholic religious heresy and fallacy.

She is clearly a devout Liberal another servant of Satan in masquerade.

Bible believing Christians are always and only a Remnant. They will be persecuted just as Jesus says we will.

As for this "professor"
"22 Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools,"

From article;
""Wallace answered on a positive note. “Jesus was first a Jewish prophet reciting the Jewish rant in its standard edition, which is social justice, socio-economic justice. Care for widows and orphans, which is to say the unemployable. People who can’t earn their own living. And the just sharing of the world’s resources.”"
