BEWARE of certain Bible versions that take God's Words from the Scriptures

Beware of certain Bible versions such as NIV, Message Bible, Contemporary English Version, Darby Translation, English Standard Version, God’s Word Translation, Good News Translation, Lexham English Bible, J.B. Phillips New Testament, New Living Translation and Jehovah Witness Bible. These Bibles take out certain parts of scriptures. God tells us not to be ignorant of satan devices. satan has used some companies to delete scriptures from the Bibles who keeps His Word. Revelation 22:18-19 tells us the dangers in taking away God’s Words: “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: 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.” One known scripture I love is when Philip was ministering to a eunuch in Acts 8:26-40. NIV takes out verse 37: (And Philip said, If thou believest with all thine heart, thou mayest. And he answered and said, I believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God-KJV.) See the differences in scripture from NKJV and the one in NIV:

NKJV: ²⁶ Now an angel of the Lord spoke to Philip, saying, “Arise and go toward the south along the road which goes down from Jerusalem to Gaza.” This is desert. ²⁷ So he arose and went. And behold, a man of Ethiopia, a eunuch of great authority under Candace the queen of the Ethiopians, who had charge of all her treasury, and had come to Jerusalem to worship, ²⁸ was returning. And sitting in his chariot, he was reading Isaiah the prophet. ²⁹ Then the Spirit said to Philip, “Go near and overtake this chariot.” ³⁰ So Philip ran to him, and heard him reading the prophet Isaiah, and said, “Do you understand what you are reading?” ³¹ And he said, “How can I, unless someone guides me?” And he asked Philip to come up and sit with him. ³² The place in the Scripture which he read was this: “He was led as a sheep to the slaughter; And as a lamb before its shearer is silent, so He opened not His mouth. ³³ In His humiliation His justice was taken away, and who will declare His generation? For His life is taken from the earth.” ³⁴ So the eunuch answered Philip and said, “I ask you, of whom does the prophet say this, of himself or of some other man?” ³⁵ Then Philip opened his mouth, and beginning at this Scripture, preached Jesus to him. ³⁶ Now as they went down the road, they came to some water. And the eunuch said, “See, here is water. What hinders me from being baptized?” ³⁷ Then Philip said, “If you believe with all your heart, you may.” And he answered and said, “I believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God.” ³⁸ So he commanded the chariot to stand still. And both Philip and the eunuch went down into the water, and he baptized him.

NIV: ²⁶ Now an angel of the Lord said to Philip, “Go south to the road—the desert road—that goes down from Jerusalem to Gaza.” ²⁷ So he started out, and on his way he met an Ethiopian eunuch, an important official in charge of all the treasury of the Kandake (which means “queen of the Ethiopians”). This man had gone to Jerusalem to worship, ²⁸ and on his way home was sitting in his chariot reading the Book of Isaiah the prophet. ²⁹ The Spirit told Philip, “Go to that chariot and stay near it.” ³⁰ Then Philip ran up to the chariot and heard the man reading Isaiah the prophet. “Do you understand what you are reading?” Philip asked. ³¹ “How can I,” he said, “unless someone explains it to me?” So he invited Philip to come up and sit with him. ³² This is the passage of Scripture the eunuch was reading: “He was led like a sheep to the slaughter, and as a lamb before its shearer is silent, so he did not open his mouth. ³³ In his humiliation he was deprived of justice. Who can speak of his descendants? For his life was taken from the earth.” ³⁴ The eunuch asked Philip, “Tell me, please, who is the prophet talking about, himself or someone else?” ³⁵ Then Philip began with that very passage of Scripture and told him the good news about Jesus. ³⁶ As they traveled along the road, they came to some water and the eunuch said, “Look, here is water. What can stand in the way of my being baptized?” ^{[37] 38} And he gave orders to stop the chariot. Then both Philip and the eunuch went down into the water and Philip baptized him.

Notice how the verse 37 answers the eunuch question on what hinders him from being baptized. NIV version makes it appears that one must just be baptized without mentioning the most important part – BELIEVING WITH ALL OUR HEART THAT JESUS CHRIST IS THE SON OF GOD. NIV doesn’t answer that important question. It just makes it seems to be baptized only.

See what this verse says about the importance about God’s scriptures. 2 Timothy 3:16-17; 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.

Just by Peter stating in Matthew 16:16 (And Simon Peter answered and said, Thou art the Christ, the Son of the living God). Jesus is telling us how Jesus is the Word; And that Word (Jesus) is what His Church will be built upon. NOTHING ELSE. So you see how important it is for us to know all the scriptures. satan had his workers take out that important factor. That’s just one scripture noted that shows the dangers to removing God’s Word from His Bible. It causes confusion. And we know who is the author of confusion; satan. This is a time for us to be mature in our discernment. Be blessed & keep watch.

John 8:31-36-We are free

John 8:31-36 says "Then Jesus said to those Jews who believed Him, “If you abide in My word, you are My disciples indeed. And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.”  They answered Him, “We are Abraham’s descendants, and have never been in bondage to anyone. How can You say, ‘You will be made free’?” Jesus answered them, “Most assuredly, I say to you, whoever commits sin is a slave of sin. And a slave does not abide in the house forever, but a son abides forever. Therefore if the Son makes you free, you shall be free indeed.

If you've already accepted Jesus Christ as your Savior, you are free.  You may be saying, "If I'm free, why am I still having sinful thoughts."  Look at the scripture, "If you abide in My Word, you are My disciples indeed. And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free."  The more you study the Word of God, the more you combat those evil thoughts. But having those thoughts don't mean you have to act on them. Again, the more you abide/stay & study the Word of God & apply the Word to your life, then you'll begin to have less & less of those thoughts.  The key word is abide & apply.  Abide in the Word & apply the Word to you life.  You are already free.  It's all about changing your mindset.  Keep in mind, you've been thinking a certain way for many years; a mind change doesn't happen over night.  But it doesn't have to take many years to receive change.  Again, abide in the Word & apply the Word.  Most important, DO NOT FORGET - YOU ARE ALREADY FREE.  Just accept it & allow the Word to cleanse your mind of the trash the world put in it. 

Galatians 5:1 says "Stand fast therefore in the liberty by which Christ has made us free, and do not be entangled again with a yoke of bondage."

Galatians 5:16 says "I say then: Walk in the Spirit, and you shall not fulfill the lust of the flesh."  When you live the Word of God, you are walking in the Spirit.  Walking in the Spirit is a mindset that lines up with the Word of God (by Dr. Creflo Dollar).  So when you walk in the Spirit, you will not fulfill those things that please the flesh, such as adultery, homosexual acts, lying, stealing, raping, molesting, etc.

What are your burdens?

What are we as women yoked with that keeps us burdened down. 

Galatians 5:1 (KJV) - “Stand fast therefore in the liberty wherewith Christ hath made us free, and be not entangled again with the yoke of bondage.”
