Bible Note: Greetings Doc! There is some misguided folks in Simpsonville, SC who claim to be Baptist who teach this same thing. Here is portion of their "About Us" statement. The first section is titled "Baptist" and get a load of their first sentence in their statement. Baptist We are Baptists, like John the Baptist, our Lord, His apostles, and many martyrs. Wow! I never knew the Lord and his apostles had a denomination. Go figure! Besides that, check this out... KJV Bible We are Bible Christians. Without Scripture, we cannot know Jesus Christ. God inspired and preserved His words perfectly. Each is vital to truth. Satan attacked God’s words in Eden, and he attacks them today with many false versions and proud skeptical attitudes. (Proof: Psalm 12:6-7; 119:128; Pro 8:8-9; II Tim 3:16-17; II Pet 1:16-21). Note the slick way they promote the KJV as the Bible, Scripture, the only way to know Jesus, God's inspired and preserved words etc... and exclude other translations as false versions of God's word. Let's face it Doc, as sinners we are disgusting. Every last one of us! If it can be twisted mankind has spared no effort to do so. How humbling it is to know God even gives us a second thought! You see stuff like this and it really reflects on the sinfulness of mankind and how absolutely desperate we are for a saviour. Praise God we have such a wonderful Saviour! A Lord worthy of all glory and praise! Were would we be if not for the Love of God and the atoning work of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ? How blessed are we that He loves us? Imagine, us, even when we were dead in our transgressions! Thank you Jesus!!! Steve |
