Our number one desire for these Bible lessons are for them to be understandable, defendable, and most important for the Holy Spirit to bear witness that the conclusions are the true, and correct interpretation of the Holy Scriptures.
Guidelines for our Bible studies on this website:
1. We treat the living words of the
living God as spoken by the Lord Jesus and given to the Apostle Paul for the
Body of Christ the
same importance, as the words of the Lord Jesus
recorded in red letters in the books
of Matthew – Acts Chp. 8, as what should be known as the instructions to the
nation Israel.
2. We will not be wresting the scriptures
against each other, we will look at the verses in their context, and will not
try to make the scriptures say anything, but what they say.
3. We will be
using the verses out of the Authorized Version, commonly known as the KJV. It
is fine if you want to look the verses up in other translations if you like,
but we will consider the Authorized Version as our final written authority.
4. We do not and
will not use the Greek, Hebrew, Aramaic, or Latin languages to prove any
points, or give any indication that the Authorized Version has been incorrectly
translated.
I hope these studies are interesting enough to provoke you to study your Bible, and for you to grow in the grace and knowledge of our savior, the Lord Jesus Christ.
Paul said in 2 Tim. Chp 2 verse [15] “Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.”
It never ceases to amaze me when I ask people if they think Satan would be involved in changing or corrupting God’s word every one of them answers yes immediately.
Funny thing is, when I ask them if they think these new translations could be the corrupted word of God, they almost always say no.
Today, I passed by a street corner that had a big crowd of people begging for help to change the climate, and save planet Earth from destruction! My thoughts immediately turned to what the Bible has to say about planet Earth’s future.
After,
I came to know the Lord Jesus Christ as my Savior, I fell in love with the
living words of the living God, and as such have memorized hundreds of Bible
verses, so everything I do, and think about in this world is tied to the Bible.
So, let’s go to the Authorized English Bible, for English speaking people, commonly known as the KJV, to see what it has to say about climate change.
Today,
I also wondered if those people wanting to save the climate, ever think about
getting their lost soul saved, or think about what happens to them after they
die, things I think are the most important things in a person’s life.
Well anyway I thought I would share a few verses of scripture on a major climate change event coming to planet Earth in the near future.
We
read the following in 2nd Peter Chp. 3,
“[9]
The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but
is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all
should come to repentance.
[10]
But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night; in the which the
heavens shall pass away with a great noise, and the elements shall melt with
fervent heat, the earth also and the works that are therein shall be burned up.
[11]
Seeing then that all these things shall be dissolved, what manner of persons
ought ye to be in all holy conversation and godliness,
[12]
Looking for and hasting unto the coming of the day of God, wherein the heavens
being on fire shall be dissolved, and the elements shall melt with fervent
heat?
[13]
Nevertheless we, according to his promise, look for new heavens and a new
earth, wherein dwelleth righteousness.
[14] Wherefore, beloved, seeing that ye look for such things, be diligent that ye may be found of him in peace, without spot, and blameless."
Peter
states that we can expect these things to happen according to the promise made
to us by the Lord God.
Interestingly enough we can go to the book of Isaiah, a book written 700 years before the Lord Jesus Christ, ever stepped foot on planet Earth, making it currently around 2762 years old and we read the following words.
Isaiah
Chp. 65,
"[17] For, behold, I create new heavens and a new earth: and the former shall not be remembered, nor come into mind.
[18] But be ye glad and rejoice forever in that which I create: for, behold, I create Jerusalem a rejoicing, and her people a joy.
[19]
And I will rejoice in Jerusalem, and joy in my people: and the voice of weeping
shall be no more heard in her, nor the voice of crying.
[20]
There shall be no more thence an infant of days, nor an old man that hath not
filled his days: for the child shall die an hundred years old; but the sinner
being an hundred years old shall be accursed.
[21]
And they shall build houses, and inhabit them; and they shall plant vineyards,
and eat the fruit of them.”
[22]
They shall not build, and another inhabit; they shall not plant, and another
eat: for as the days of a tree are the days of my people, and mine elect shall
long enjoy the work of their hands.
[23]
They shall not labour in vain, nor bring forth for trouble; for they are the
seed of the blessed of the LORD, and their offspring with them.
[24]
And it shall come to pass, that before they call, I will answer; and while they
are yet speaking, I will hear.
[25] The wolf and the lamb shall feed together, and the lion shall eat straw like the bullock: and dust shall be the serpent's meat. They shall not hurt nor destroy in all my holy mountain, saith the LORD."
Notice in the verses, that in new heaven and new earth it is going to be a much more peaceful place to live in, the wolf and lamb are going to eat together, and the lamb will not be on the wolf's platter!
The lion is going to eat straw for food and will not be feasting on little wounded baby gazelles anymore!
Isaiah
Chp. 66,
"[22]
For as the new heavens and the new earth, which I will make, shall remain
before me, saith the LORD, so shall your seed and your name remain.
[23]
And it shall come to pass, that from one new moon to another, and from one
sabbath to another, shall all flesh come to worship before me, saith the LORD.
[24] And they shall go forth, and look upon the carcases of the men that have transgressed against me: for their worm shall not die, neither shall their fire be quenched; and they shall be an abhorring unto all flesh."
Now don't get me wrong, I think we should be good stewards of planet earth, replant the trees that we use, and don't be a litter bug, and take care of our water supplies, etc., but I just don't believe that we are going to reverse a warming cycle on our planet that began thousands of years ago.
In fact if you believe the scientists, you will find that they believe:
"About 50 million years ago, the planet was too warm for polar ice caps, but Earth has mostly been cooling ever since. Starting about 34 million years ago, the Antarctic Ice Sheet began to form." So planet Earth is actually in a cooling cycle at this time."
"Earth has experienced cold periods (or “ice ages”) and warm periods (“interglacials”) on roughly 100,000-year cycles for at least the last 1 million years. The last of these ices ended around 20,000 years ago."
"Since
the end of the last Ice Age, the earth has enjoyed two periods that were warmer
than the twentieth century. Archaeological evidence shows that people lived
longer, enjoyed better nutrition, and multiplied more rapidly than during
epochs of cold."
So in the end of this post we come to this point, very few of you that read this will be alive 70 years from now.
If the Bible is true and Jesus Christ is the very creator of the heavens and earth, you heard me right the bible says of Jesus in Col.1 "[16] For by him were all things created, that are in heaven, and that are in earth, visible and invisible, whether they be thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or powers: all things were created by him, and for him: [17] And he is before all things, and by him all things consist. [18] And he is the head of the body, the church: who is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead; that in all things he might have the preeminence." Then the best thing you can do for yourself and the current planet Earth is trust him as your savior so you can enjoy the new heavens and earth that will be coming to us very soon!
1st
Cor. 15 "[3] For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also
received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures; [4]
And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the
scriptures:"
I hope all of you have a wonderful upcoming week!
I am so thankful for the Preachers that were my mentors were Bible Believers and not bible correctors!
Satan is having a field day with the Body of Christ with all these modern-day preachers proclaiming the gospel of the kingdom with its earthly kingdom hope, repentance, confession of sins, and water baptism required to be saved or a member of a denomination, Miraculous signs as evidence of salvation, such as speaking in tongues and healing; Teaching the observance of the law, teaching the conditional forgiveness of sins based on forgiving others, teaching forsaking all and selling all to gain eternal life, Having the authority to forgive sins, Reaching Jerusalem and Israel first.
These things are simply incompatible with the truths found in the Pauline epistles, and the gospel of the grace of God. Even if you believe the Bible and you fail to understand the word of truth rightly divided you can still be misled, not lost just misled, and rendered a useless Christian witness.
We are saved not by our works, but by our faith in the crucified and risen Lord Jesus!
With modern day technology being what it is, it is very easy to do word searches and check when someone quotes a Bible verse or tells you something is in the Bible for you to look it up and verify if they are pulling your leg!
The Truth of God’s Holy word is easy to determine if you let the Holy Spirit lead you.
Remember all of the confusion among Christianity/Christians today can be attributed to the simple fact that the church, the Body of Christ, does not recognize the separate, distinct, and unique apostleship, ministry, and message of Paul.
If you have never trusted the Lord Jesus as your savior, I encourage you to believe in him and invite him to save you today! All one need do is to trust and believe in the Lord Jesus’s death, burial and resurrection for the forgiveness of sins to be made new in him.
Gal.2 [16] Knowing that a man is not justified by the works of the law, but by the faith of Jesus Christ, even we have believed in Jesus Christ, that we might be justified by the faith of Christ, and not by the works of the law: for by the works of the law shall no flesh be justified
Eph.3 [17] That Christ may dwell in your hearts by faith; that ye, being rooted and grounded in love, [19] And to know the love of Christ, which passeth knowledge, that ye might be filled with all the fulness of God.
What a great day that will be when Jesus Christ returns in all his glory, friend don’t let that day take you unawares. Today Jesus has his arms outstretched and open to sinners to put their trust in him. One day we will all stand before him either as our savior or our judge, don’t put it off invite Jesus to save you today!
"The crowd that will not accept one truth will decay to the point that it does not accept one God: many denominations, many translations, many gods."
The words of our Apostle Paul, the Apostle to the Gentiles!
2Tim.2 [15] Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.
Come
join with us as we study God’s Holy Word!
Remember most unsound Bible Doctrine, is sound Bible Doctrine misapplied to the wrong time period, or wrong group of people.
