" GOD's Mind on Paper "

     There seems to be a lot of versions of the Bible these days.  I myself use the Authorized King James and the New King James because the KJ has been translated from original manuscripts and not a translation done from other translations and etc. There are some translations that I have seen posted that are nearly unrecognizable from the original KJ and I have a hard time knowing where it is pulled from in Scripture because it is translated so completely different from the original manuscripts.

      We need to recognize that GOD's HOLY WORD does not change and should never be translated by a man's own opinion or beliefs as to what it should say in his own eyes.  So, please, be very careful that you are using only a Bible that is translated from original manuscripts, such as the Authorized King James. So much for the warning and now to GOD's WORD or GOD's MIND on paper.

1st.Corinthians 2: 6 thru 16  says:

However, we speak wisdom among those who are mature, yet not the wisdom of this age, nor of the rulers of this age who are coming to nothing. 

But we speak the wisdom of GOD in a mystery, the hidden wisdom which GOD ordained before the ages for our glory, which none of the rulers of this age knew; for had they known they would not have crucified the LORD of glory.

But as it is written:

Eye has not seen, nor ear heard, Nor has entered into the heart of man the things which GOD has prepared for those who love HIM.

But GOD has revealed them to us through HIS SPIRIT. For the SPIRIT searches all things, yes, the deep things of GOD.

For what man knows the things of a man except the spirit of the man which is in him ? Even so no one knows the things of GOD except the SPIRIT of GOD.

Now we have received, not the spirit of the world, but the SPIRIT WHO is from GOD, that we might know the things that have been freely given to us by GOD.

These things we also speak, not in words which man's wisdom teaches but which the HOLY SPIRIT teaches, comparing spiritual things with spiritual.

But the natural man does not receive the things of the SPIRIT of GOD, for they are foolishness to him, nor can he know them because they are spiritually discerned.

But he who is spiritual judges all things, yet he himself is rightly judged by no one.

For " Who has known the mind of the LORD that he may instruct HIM ?"  But we have the mind of CHRIST.

2nd.Timothy 3: 14 thru 17 says:

But as for you, continue in the things which you have learned and been assured of, knowing from whom you have learned them, and that from childhood you have known the HOLY SCRIPTURES, which are able to make you wise unto Salvation through faith which is in CHRIST JESUS.

ALL Scripture is given by inspiration of GOD, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness, that the man of GOD may be complete, thoroughly equipped for every good work.

2nd.Peter 1:20 & 21 says:

Knowing this first that no prophecy of Scripture is of any private interpretation, for prophecy never came by the will of man, but Holy Men of GOD spoke as they were moved by the HOLY SPIRIT.

     What I am getting at is that GOD's WORD is also GOD's MIND on paper.  We can trust it. We can become wise reading it. We CAN KNOW the mind of GOD by reading HIS WORD.

Now I know what you are thinking !  Can we know all of the mind of GOD by reading HIS WORD ?  NO

There are things, which HE states in HIS WORD, that are only known to HIM, such as the exact time of HIS return for HIS Bride, the Truly Born Again body of Believers which is the church. Also, our finite minds could not hold all the knowledge of GOD, it is impossible in the flesh to know everything that GOD knows. But what is written is for our learning, for our maturing in CHRIST, for our growing in the faith and knowledge of our LORD and SAVIOR JESUS CHRIST.     THE BIBLE IS NOT a book of suggestions, it is to be read, believed and put into practice in the life of a True Christian.

     Now if you are NOT a True Christian, then GOD's WORD has something for you as well.  If you are NOT BORN AGAIN, then you have no chance of heaven. Your future is an eternity in a devils hell ( John 3:18 & 36) and just to let you know, all souls were and are created to live forever, somewhere.  It is up to you as to where you want to spend your eternity.

     GOD the FATHER sent GOD the SON, the LORD JESUS CHRIST to earth at a specific time in history, to be put on a Roman cross and crucified, to take the punishment that our sin debt required. We are sinners, born sinners and will die sinners.  The only difference is that I will die a sinner " saved by GOD's grace " which the death, burial and resurrection of the LORD JESUS paid the price for my sin; BUT not only for my sin, BUT for yours also.  Salvation is easy and it is a " Free Gift " given by an ALL HOLY GOD. But as any "Gift", you must receive it for it to do you any good.  Right now, where you are, if you believe in your heart that you are a sinner, and that JESUS came and died and rose again to pay for your sin, then bow your head in prayer. Confess to GOD that you are a sinner in need of a SAVIOR and that you believe in your heart that JESUS died and rose again for your sin, ask JESUS to come into your heart and life to save you, and HE WILL.

     The LORD JESUS CHRIST will never turn HIS back on someone who comes to HIM by faith, for without faith it is impossible to please HIM.  Ask JESUS to come into your heart and save you, for TODAY is still the day of Salvation.  

Your servant in CHRIST,
