The Gospel of Jesus Christ

Dear Friends -

GOSPEL simply means "good news." There are lots of different things
that can be good news. When we speak about THE good news of how it
could be possible to avoid the eternal torment of HELL, then we are
talking about THE GOSPEL. THE GOSPEL, definite article, very
specific, only one, exclusive, no other allowed, no other gospel
tolerated. That good news, is the most important good news, of any
good news, that anyone could ever have ears to hear. Sadly, most do
not KNOW or have ears to hear THE GOSPEL.

The most basic summary of Jesus' preaching is that "The time is
fulfilled, the kingdom of God is at hand: repent ye, and believe the
gospel." (Mark 1:15) The need for good news assumes a bad situation.
The bad situation in which humans find themselves, and the reason
they need good news, is that sin has entered each of their lives
(John 8:7; Rom. 3:23). Yes, that must include Mother Mary, or one
has another gospel. One must recognize that they are born sinners,
and will die either redeemed repentant heaven bound sinners, or
unredeemed unrepentant hell bound sinners. Any church teaching you
to believe you are not a sinner, makes God a liar, and is another
gospel. Could there ever be a greater wile of the devil than to
convince anyone that they are not a SINNER? Yet, that is one of many
OTHER gospels being preached in the Great Falling Away from THE
Faith of THE Gospel.

Today there are many so-called Christian churches that do not
preach, or do not know THE GOSPEL. They have a different gospel,
another gospel, which is NOT THE GOSPEL. Such preachers of another
gospel are not only going to hell; but, are leading their flocks to
hell. Sadly, that is what is happening today in the Great Falling
Away from THE Faith, AKA the Antichrist War On The Saints, AKA the
Great Tribulation.

Yet, in this time, those who know THE GOSPEL are presented with the
greatest opportunity to give glory to God, and bring souls into His
Kingdom, of any people ever. However, we must KNOW, that we KNOW THE
GOSPEL, and not have somehow believed another gospel. As we look at
how we do KNOW THE GOSPEL, and better understand the hows and whys
of the other gospels, we are better equipped to be able to help
people avoid the other gospels, which lead to HELL.

Luke was with the Apostle Paul to the end. Luke tells us what is THE
GOSPEL. Luke said, THE GOSPEL sets forth in order a declaration of
those things which are most surely believed among us, Even as they
delivered them unto us, which from the beginning were eyewitnesses,
and ministers of the word; (Luke 1:1-2) The Lord Jesus Christ chose
twelve Apostles, that they might be with Him, as eye witnesses, to
declare THE GOSPEL. The Apostles, personally called and chosen by
The Lord Jesus Christ, are THE authority to DECLARE the things which
are MOST SURELY believed by those who KNOW THE GOSPEL. All of the
religious scholars, doctors, and rabbis, together, with popes,
bishops, magesteriums, and whatever, together, are NOT the authority
regarding THE GOSPEL. When we want to KNOW THE GOSPEL there is only
ONE acceptable authority.

The only AUTHORITY for that which we MOST SURELY believe to be THE
GOSPEL, is the MORE SURE words, inspired, preserved, and purified
according to God Himself. Those MORE SURE WORDS, of what we MOST
SURELY believe and KNOW as THE GOSPEL, must have the Apostolic seal
of authority, given directly by Yeshua THE Messiah, Himself. Those
who KNOW the TRUTH, by the Holy Spirit of Truth, know that means the
KJV Holy Bible, and NOT some profane bible, and NOT any magesterium
of popes, scholars, doctors, organizations, counsels, prophets,
rabbis, fathers, priests, potentates, whatever combined.

Yeshua THE Messiah, Jesus THE Christ, did not die to give anybody a
license, or excuse to sin, or to allow them to continue sinning. It
was The I AM, the Lord Jesus Christ who gave what is known as the
Law of Moses. Do we by faith make void the law? God forbid, says the
Apostle Paul, how could anyone be so reprobate to think like that?
Paul says, we not only do NOT make void the Law, yea, rather we
establish the law. Those who walk not after the flesh but after His
Spirit of Truth and Holiness will NOT be found denigrating or
belittling any law of God. Who does not understand that it was Jesus
who gave what came to be called the law of Moses? Moses did NOT make
it up. It was the Lord Jesus Christ who gave Moses that law. The
blood of Yeshua which sealed the New Covenant has a better
priesthood with better promises and a better way of being CLEAN.

Only the laws relating to the levitical priesthood and ritual
cleanliness were superseded. No wonder Jesus said, in John 5:46-47
For had ye believed Moses, ye would have believed me: for he wrote
of me. But if ye believe not his writings, how shall ye believe my
words?

Truly born again, REDEEMED sinners, have the power of His Holy
Spirit to make them holy, by breaking the power of sin, in the
sinner's life. Everyone, including Mother Mary, since Adam and Eve,
EXCEPT The Lord Jesus Christ, was a born sinner. All, at death, will
either die a REDEEMED repentant heaven bound sinner, or UNREDEEMED
unrepentant hell bound, SINNER. THE GOSPEL requires the
understanding that EVERYONE, including Mother Mary, was a BORN
SINNER and died either a REDEEMED sinner, who was justified by the
Grace of God through their faith in THE GOSPEL that Abraham
disclosed when he said – God will provide Himself a Lamb.

The Lord Jesus Christ, is The Lamb of God who made the Atonement for
our sins, OR ELSE one is BOUND FOR HELL. According to THE GOSPEL,
that is most sure, and what the REDEEMED of the Lord, most surely
believe.

THE GOSPEL forms the simple basis to see, from the MORE SURE words
of THE GOSPEL, that the Roman Catholic Church is the largest cult in
the world; because, their Immaculate Conception dogma, regarding
Mary, denies THE GOSPEL of The Lord Jesus Christ. The Word of God
easily proves the Roman Catholic Church to be an Antichrist cult, by
that particular Immaculate Conception dogma denial of THE GOSPEL.
Rome is the pre-eminent example, that the size of the organization
of the cult, like Roman Catholic, Mormon, Jehovah Witnesses, does
not change the fact, that it is a cult false religion. Those large
religious organizations, which like to call themselves Christian,
are cults; because, they deny THE GOSPEL. Those large cults believe
and teach another gospel. Sadly, perhaps over 90% of those calling
themselves Christian, believe another gospel, and not THE GOSPEL.

THE GOSPEL is very NARROW regarding what is, and what is NOT, in
fact, THE GOSPEL. Any other gospel which departs from THE GOSPEL, is
one of the many broadways to HELL. There is ONLY ONE TRUE GOD, and
ONLY ONE TRUE GOSPEL. Believe THE GOSPEL, or go to HELL. That IS
truth and REALITY which some day, soon enough, everyone will KNOW.

Most simply, THE GOSPEL is - Jesus Christ died for SINNERS and rose
again from the dead for our justification. Jesus Christ, did NOT die
to give anybody freedom to sin, or to make sin OK with God. The
death on the cross of Jesus Christ makes sin exceedingly, and more
dreadfully, sinful. Yeshua, Jesus, had to die on the cross to pay
the required price of REDEMPTION, that no man can pay. No man, by
any other means than THE GOSPEL, can satisfy God's requirement to be
REDEEMED. There is no amount of mans own good works, or his own self-
justifications, rationalizations, religious acts, or religious
stuff, to satisfy God's requirement to be REDEEMED.

Jesus said you MUST be born again. Truly born again, REDEEMED
sinners, have the power of His Holy Spirit to stop sinning, by
breaking the power of sin in the sinner's life. Everyone, INCLUDING
Mother Mary, EXCEPT The Lord Jesus Christ, was a born sinner, and
died either a REDEEMED repentant heaven bound sinner, or an
unredeemed unrepentant hell bound sinner. THE GOSPEL is the ONLY Way
anyone can be justified and received as a REDEEMED, child of God.
THE GOSPEL, defines the narrow way by which a sinner may be REDEEMED
and born again, as a child of God, by the Grace of God, through
repentance and faith in THE GOSPEL of The Lord Jesus Christ. PERIOD.

1 Tim 1:15 This is a faithful saying, and worthy of ALL ACCEPTATION,
that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners; of whom I am
chief.

This is the gospel of the Apostle Paul, in one verse, and still
remains in PRESENT TENSE. It can NOT possibly be overstated, that
one MUST KNOW, that you KNOW, that you KNOW, THE GOSPEL, and have
not either failed to know THE GOSPEL, or have embraced one of the
many other gospels, which ALL lead to hell. THE GOSPEL is the ONLY
way to the Kingdom of heaven, and ALL OTHER gospels lead to hell. We
do mourn at all the lovely people, all the religious people, and all
the people who work so hard in their delusions to go to hell. We
mourn at those who are too proud to receive and get to KNOW THE
GOSPEL. We mourn at all the people following other gospels to hell.
We mourn at the people who refuse to be born again, AGAIN, because
they believe their church doctrines, rationalizations, and doctrines
of devils, like once-saved-always- saved.

Gal 1:8 But though we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other
gospel unto you than that which we have preached unto you, let him
be accursed.
Gal 1:9 As we said before, so say I now again, If any man preach any
other gospel unto you than that ye have received, let him be
accursed.

There are the two required witnesses, wham bam, and that is STRONG
language, and PROOF that you either believe, receive, and know THE
GOSPEL, or you will go to hell. Accursed. Accursed means cursed by
God, utterly destroyed, totally destroyed, the object of the wrath
of Almighty God. Never miss the opportunity to tell that to the
pope, the cardinal, the archbishop, the Mormon, the Jehovah Witness,
or the Messianic rabbi who does not KNOW Jesus is the I AM, both the
Creator and Redeemer.

THE GOSPEL designates the message of God's saving activity through
the life, ministry, death, and resurrection of God's UNIQUE Son,
Jesus. God IS God. God established THE GOSPEL. It does not make any
difference if we like, or approve, of His rules or conditions. God
IS God. It does not make any difference if we believe the gospel or
not, until we die. Then all will be judged and eternally consigned to
heaven or hell, according to THE GOSPEL.

It does not make any difference if we like or believe God's rules or
conditions; because, God IS God. We do not get a vote about it. You,
nor me, nor anybody else is God. God IS God. God's conditions are
simple enough for any Child. Believe THE GOSPEL, because any other
gospel, or any other way will consign you to hell. God Said So, that
is how it WAS, IS, and WILL BE. We have no say regarding any
changing, or bending, or modifying of God's laws, rules, and
conditions. God is God. We will all soon enough find out that God IS
God. Because God IS God, it is either God's way or the broadway to
HELL. God IS God, believe it or go to HELL, it really is that
simple. A simple child can understand it.

Religious people really struggle with it. The sad truth is that most
people will NOT receive THE GOSPEL, and will go to hell. Jesus said
so. Pride or vanity is the main reason they will die in their
delusions. Many pick up some religious tinker toy, which makes them
believe they are more holy and more sure of God's approval than
someone who does not hold their particular religious spirit tinker
toy. They can NOT see that is the exact opposite of the Apostle
Paul's one verse expression of the gospel - This is a faithful
saying, and worthy of all acceptation, that Christ Jesus came into
the world to save sinners; of whom I am chief. Most, sadly, will go
to hell with their good religious works, rituals, observances, and
delusions.

People believe what they choose to believe. You will believe Jesus
IS God who IS come in the flesh, and receive THE GOSPEL, or choose
some other gospel on the broadway to HELL. God IS God, and everyone
will know that REALITY soon enough in heaven by repentance and faith
in THE GOSPEL, or hell by faith in any other gospel, or anything
else.

For those who say THE GOSPEL is too narrow minded, they can be
broadminded and go the broadways to hell. To those who say THE
GOSPEL is too INTOLERANT, they can take the tolerant path to hell.
Yes, God is very intolerant regarding THE GOSPEL. You best be sure
you have THE GOSPEL, and not any other gospel, philosophy, ideas,
beliefs, pseudo-truths, science falsely so-called, or anything other
than THE GOSPEL. God IS God. There is no good future in disagreeing
with God. There is no good future in not believing what He said. How
very sad it is, how few know what God said by reading that more sure
word of the KJV the way He said, line upon line, EVERY Word, in
order, in context, Gen 1:1-Rev 22:21. Sad. Very Sad, Indeed.

Pray for the peace of Jerusalem. Pray Psalm 83 every day. Only be
very strong and of good courage. Stay IN the Word.

From Chittim, Isa 23:1,

Shalom & Simcha,

Much of your post is right on; calling the KJV the only acceptable translation is pretty bizarre. The only truly "true" Scriptures as those as they were first written by the prophets, gospel writers, Paul, etc; anything else is just our best effort at putting it into our language. Why rely on 500 year old English for our understanding of what God wants to tell us? Language changes; English is no different. Over centuries, meanings change, while God's word does not.
Please politely, but concisely, explain why the KJV is the only legit translation.

*pick me pick me*

Scooter: God promised to preserve His word, NOT our language. The fact that words change meaning is not His fault.

That said, it is very easy to look up words you do not know in any dictionary. The older meanings are there.

They even publish guides that define the words that are 'archaic' now. Then there's the Strong's, which renders every word in the bible in the original Hebrew or Greek, and even gives the context used.

There is absolutely NO excuse to claim ignorance on the basis of changed language or meanings. God foreknew that, and there are tools in place to work around it.

As far as the KJV, the short version is it's the only one actually translated from the Textus Receptus, the Received Text, that was passed down from the first century.

As you know, things were copied by hand back in the day. As they got used, they got worn out, and would have to be recopied.

The newer versions, from the NIV on up, were based on corrupted texts, called the Sinaiticus and Vaticanus.

Sinaiticus was found in a trashcan in a monastery at Mt Sinai. Vaticanus came from the Vatican archives. Both texts do not even agree with each other. So how did they decide what was correct?

They compared the two and chose which words to use completely arbitrarily, based on what THEY FELT was 'right'. The men chosen did not believe the bible, and some did not even belive in God. They did this for the MONEY. That is why the NIV, etc, all are copyrighted. The KJV has NO copyright, because no man owns the original texts.

That is the mini-series version, if you want more info I can provide a link. Marcel is absolutely correct about the KJV.

And as far as dogmatic, read his post again. God Himself is 'dogmatic'. That is why the wages of sin is DEATH. God has NO PROBLEM with being dogmatic. Man does, because he loves his sin and wants to make excuses for it. Our devolution as a Church BEGAN when we threw out the KJV as the authority. Why do we keep trying to make it okay still? Obviously it didn't work.

Here is a link to copy to get into the issue deeper:

BTW--The KJV is written in the SAME style and language as Shakespeare, being from the same era.

I never hear too many complaints about Shakespeare. What do people do when they get to a difficult part? They look it up.

Why can't they do that for the bible? Answer: they are just looking for an 'out'. I'm not fooled, and neither is God.

AF,Thanks for what you wrote.
What do you think about the NAS & NKJV ?
I agree with Jim of the purity of the KJV.
It seems that the church has widened the narrow road and made it a modern highway,only it does not lead to eternal life.
I stand with him on the narrow road and reject the wide road .
Look at all the translations here.
They put NIV at the top of hte pile.
There is so much attempt at compromise like this to be appealing to the lost Christ rejectiong world.
Instead of holding our ground we keep moving to accomodate a world moving into the pit.
We're following the world ,not leading them away from it.
Professing themselves to be wise they became fools....

The enemies of God have overdone it with their translations of the bible.
They accomplish one thing ,and that is confusion.
They change the sure word of God to the no so sure word of God.
BTW .Jim Searcy from Cyprus wrote htis message.

**What do you think about the NAS & NKJV ?

I think they do a great job of stabilizing the furniture.

Seriously: If it ain't broke, don't fix it. I have heard some swear by the NASB/NKJV. Okay fine, if that's what they want to do. I haven't seen any reason to jump from the KJV. I just don't trust anything else anymore, seeing the results for others.

The short answer is God has blessed my trust in His word. I have seen the same with others as well. They understand and grow more by accident than most do with years of 'study' with other versions. The Holy Spirit actually brings to recall what you need when you need it.

Jn 16: 13 Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will guide you into all truth: for he shall not speak of himself; but whatsoever he shall hear, that shall he speak: and he will shew you things to come.

14 He shall glorify me: for he shall receive of mine, and shall shew it unto you.

Good point's.
My brother whom I haven't heard from in a while sent a CD of the Bible KJV out of the blue yesterday. No coincidence.

My name is Daniel and I declare the one true gospel as the Christ, Yeshua, died for our sins according to the scriptures, he was buried and He was raised the third day according to the scriptures. This is the good news of Yeshua (Luke 24) and the good news of Paul and all the apostles (1 Cor 15:1-6). It has been the gospel that God has given grace to preach in the place abide, with the few with me.
