2 Timothy 4 (KJV)

2 Preach the word; be instant in season, out of season; reprove (scold), rebuke (correction), exhort (stimulate) with all long suffering and doctrine.

3 For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears;
4 And they shall turn away their ears from the truth, and shall be turned unto fables.

5 But watch thou in all things, endure afflictions, do the work of an evangelist, make full proof of thy ministry.

18 And the Lord shall deliver me from every evil work, and will preserve me unto his heavenly kingdom: to whom be glory for ever and ever. Amen.

Wow! Over 100 Versions of the Bible in English, ITCHING EARS!!!

Malachi 3 (KJV)

6 For I am the Lord, I change not; therefore ye sons of Jacob are not consumed.
7 Even from the days of your fathers ye are gone away from mine ordinances, and have not kept them. Return unto me, and I will return unto you, saith the Lord of hosts. But ye said, Wherein shall we return?




2 Timothy 4(KJV)

3 For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears;
4 And they shall turn away their ears from the truth, and shall be turned unto fables.

Have counted 95 English versions of the Bible. And more and more versions in English are printed and published as time goes on. Understand why it needs to be translated into different languages, but over 100 versions in English? GOD'S WORD or Satan's Lies? ~ Karmen




WHAT DOES THE BIBLE SAY ABOUT TAKING AWAY AND ADDING FROM THE WORD OF GOD?

Revelation 22 (KJV)

18 For I testify unto every man that heareth the words of the prophecy of this book, If any man shall add unto these things, God shall add unto him the plagues that are written in this book:
19 And if any man shall take away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God shall take away his part out of the book of life, and out of the holy city, and from the things which are written in this book.




Deuteronomy 4 (KJV)

2 Ye shall not add unto the word which I command you, neither shall ye diminish ought from it, that ye may keep the commandments of the Lord your God which I command you.




Deuteronomy 12 (KJV)

32 What thing soever I command you, observe to do it: thou shalt not add thereto, nor diminish from it.


Proverbs 30 (KJV)

5 Every word of God is pure: he is a shield unto them that put their trust in him.
6 Add thou not unto his words, lest he reprove {reprimand or censure (someone).} thee, and thou be found a liar.


Wonder if fans of Zora Neale Hurston would approve of her books being revised. To take away the 'bad English'..... ~ Karmen

THE WORD OF GOD

Hebrews 4 (KJV)

12 For the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any twoedged , piercing even to the dividing asunder (apart; divided.) of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.

2 Timothy 3 (KJV)

15 And that from a child thou hast known the holy scriptures, which are able to make thee wise unto salvation through faith which is in Christ Jesus.
16 All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof (an expression of blame or disapproval.), for correction, for instruction in righteousness:
17 That the man of God may be perfect, thoroughly furnished (equipped) unto all good works.

Disciple of Christ, Conduct Yourself In A Godly Manner

Being a Christian is more than just going to church, praying, repenting, baptizing, preaching, ministering, testifying, quoting scriptures, discipline....Is that all you thought it was to be a Christian?

It is not all about self help or helping others to become Christians.

Sustain...Growth...Off the milk and onto the meat...Christians were persecuted and massacred.

God is depending on his sons and daughters to deliver his people out of Satan's hands.

Many of us walk around as slaves to the world and not to Christ. Zombies!

Read Revelations...it is not a hard book to read...don't let Satan or others try to sway you from reading it...how will you be prepared when this time comes read chapter 13...the chips are already in a lot of dogs and it will be coming to you soon...do not take it, if you do you are damned...
DO YOU REALLY UNDERSTAND WHAT'S GOING ON?

What are some of the things we need to do as Christians?

Matthew 28 (KJV)

18 And Jesus came and spake unto them, saying, All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth.  
19 Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost: 
20 Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you always, even unto the end of the world. Amen.

A disciple of Christ, practices discipline daily. Not just be "good" on Sundays. We are not promised tomorrow

James 4 (KJV)

13 Now listen, you who say, "Today or tomorrow we will go to this or that city, spend a year there, carry on business and make money." 

14 Why, you do not even know what will happen tomorrow. What is your life? You are a mist that appears for a little while and then vanishes.
15 Instead, you ought to say, "If it is the Lord's will, we will live and do this or that." 
16 As it is, you boast in your arrogant schemes. All such boasting is evil. 
17 So then, if you know the good you ought to do and don't do it, you sin.


No one is promised tomorrow.  No one is promised the next breath.  ~ Karmen




James 5 (KJV)

16 Confess your faults one to another, and pray one for another, that ye may be healed. The effectual (successful) fervent (having or displaying a passionate intensity.)prayer of a righteous man availeth (helps) much.

2 Timothy 4 (KJV)

2 Preach the word; be instant in season, out of season; reprove (correct), rebuke (scold, reprimand),
exhort (encourage) with all long suffering (great patience) and doctrine (belief and teachings in the 
Holy Bible).

3 For the time will come when men will not put up with sound doctrine. Instead, to suit their own desires, they will gather around them a great number of teachers to say what their itching ears want to hear. 

4 They will turn their ears away from the truth and turn aside to myths. 

5 But you, keep your head in all situations, endure hardship, do the work of an evangelist, discharge all the duties of your ministry.  



1 Peter 3  (KJV)

15 But in your hearts set apart Christ as Lord. Always be prepared to give an answer to everyone who asks you to give the reason for the hope that you have. But do this with gentleness and respect, 

16 keeping a clear conscience, so that those who speak maliciously against your good behavior in Christ may be ashamed of their slander. 

17 It is better, if it is God's will, to suffer for doing good than for doing evil.

Please be careful with this one. We can get very defensive when people ask us why we believe in God..Why we are Christians? this and that. Remember to respond with gentleness and respect. ~ Karmen
