GOD'S WORD HAS NOT CHANGED

 

I realize that when I am reading Scripture what is going on in my life influences what I see in the Bible. There really is no new revelation when a person reads Scripture, we either develop a better understanding or create a  perverted perspective. 

1 CORINTHIANS 2:15-16 KING JAMES VERSION 

15  But he that is spiritual judgeth all things, yet he himself is judged of no man. 

16  For who hath known the mind of the Lord, that he may instruct him? But we have the mind of Christ. 

GALATIANS 5:16-17 KING JAMES VERSION 

16  This I say then, Walk in the Spirit, and ye shall not fulfil the lust of the flesh. 

17  For the flesh lusteth against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh: and these are contrary the one to the other: so that ye cannot do the things that ye would. 

When I read Scripture I try to put my flesh aside; when I develop an understanding I have to make sure my fleshly thinking is not interfering with spiritual understanding. Praying before, during and after I read Scripture is very important.  

Romans 8:9 (KJV) 

9  But ye are not in the flesh, but in the Spirit, if so be that the Spirit of God dwell in you. Now if any man have not the Spirit of Christ, he is none of his. 

I am currently reading the English Standard Version (ESV) of the Bible. As I indicated on my post “BECOMING A TITUS WOMAN” (January 24,2023), I received a better understanding of the woman coming out of man later I had a better understanding of Cain and Ables’ offerings. I am taken aback; stunned at the words I am reading, this was not taught to me in all the years of Bible teaching or Bible study.  

Just like graduating from an  Ivy League school no longer carries the prestige it once did, far to many churches today have gotten away from preaching what is written in Scripture.

1 THESSALONIANS 2:3-6 KING JAMES VERSION 

3  For our exhortation was not of deceit, nor of uncleanness, nor in guile: 

4  But as we were allowed of God to be put in trust with the gospel, even so we speak; not as pleasing men, but God, which trieth our hearts. 

5  For neither at any time used we flattering words, as ye know, nor a cloke of covetousness; God is witness: 

6  Nor of men sought we glory, neither of you, nor yet of others, when we might have been burdensome, as the apostles of Christ. 

Many churches today focus on pleasing men. So many churches have “a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof:” of which Scriptures tells us “from such turn away.” (2 Timothy 3:5 KJV) This is why I am struggling to find a church home, a place to hear the word, grow in the word and serve. 

 GENESIS 9:13-15 ENGLISH STANDARD VERSION

13 I have set my bow in the cloud, and it shall be a sign of the covenant between me and the earth. 14 When I bring clouds over the earth and the bow is seen in the clouds, 15 I will remember my covenant that is between me and you and every living creature of all flesh. And the waters shall never again become a flood to destroy all flesh.

When you see a rainbow remember it belongs to God, it is a remembrance to Him of His promise to us. And, the rainbow is a reminder to us of His word not mains opinions or declarations. Many churches are now teaching other doctrine- stay away from such false teachings. Again I write:  “Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away.” (2 TIMOTHY 3:5 KING JAMES VERSION}

I am editing this writing Wednesday June 28, 2023, during a month in which Satan and his followers glorify behavior the Word speaks against. There are buildings, I will not call it a church, that facilitate the perverting of the rainbow and it’s leaders who have denied God’s purpose for the man and the woman. Again: “from such  turn away.” I have made it to the book of Leviticus and though I am not a fan of the ESV Bible I can tell you God’s word has not change.
