Over the last few months, I've been looking at different translations of the Bible. I have read through the entire Bible and began reading a different translation to find the differences.

Years ago, before I read the Bible. I was told by a pastor that the New King James Version (NKJV) has errors and mistranslations. Yesterday I was conducting my own research trying to find a specific verse. I had been looking in a NKJV Bible for several weeks, but could not find it. I went to a book store and read several different translations. I found the verse I was looking for in all these other translations. I then went back to my NKJV Bible and found this verse was completely replaced. It was not translated incorrectly, rather it was replaced with something else.

I can only assume it was done in the name of not offending people. As you know, there are many churches that are making accommodations for people to sin with the blessings of the church. These churches should keep in mind Revelations 3:16:So then because thou art lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will spue thee out of my mouth. This pertains to churches standing against sin. Churches that accommodate would fall under this category. 

People who translate the Bible should also keep in mind what Jesus said in Revelations 22:18-19: For I testify to everyone who hears the words of the prophecy of this book: If anyone adds to these things, God will add to him the plagues that are written in this book and if anyone takes away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God shall take away his part from the Book of Life, from the holy city, and from the things which are written in they book.

For Bible translators, it is wise to translate correctly. For those who take out verses from the Bible, for whatever reason, God will clearly take away from them. Translating the Bible is a noble profession. Having to find out the NKJV Bible has mistranslations and omissions, it is a bible translations everyone should avoid.

At this point I need to go by a new Bible of the correct translation.

Praise be to God!

American government once criticized other countries for human rights violations concerning how they treated Christians.

In such countries, Christians could not own a business, could not worship freely, were put in prison for being and standing for Biblical beliefs, and killed.

Where is America now?

Well Oregon is leading the way to remove Christians from owning and operating a business. The famous case of the bakery in Portland shows us that you can not be a Christian and own and operate a business. Where is the American government's outcry of human rights violations? This kind of actions by courts across America is becoming commonplace.

Certainly looking like you cannot be a Christian and own a business in America.

In one of his national address, President Obama told Christian churches they need to change the way they worship. Still the government does not cry out for human rights violations.

More recently a Kentucky clerk is jailed for being a Christian and upholding Biblical values. Still the American government remains silent about this human rights violation.

Then the anti-Christian state of Oregon is back with a public school shooting of only Christians. The President dismisses the killing of Christians in favor of pushing his agenda of removing the second amendment from the Constitution of America. Still the American government does not care about the human rights violation/

America was once a progressive country. But now we see massive moral decay and and explosion of Christian persecution.

Many people wonder why America is not mentioned in prophecy. Speculations center on three possible reasons. First is America will be incorporated into a foreign country, therefor no longer existing as America. Second is we can see going on today, America will be infected with moral decay. Third, America will be decimated because of the Rapture. Last I checked Christians made up 49% of the citizens in America. I heard someone say it had gone up to 51%. Still if the Rapture were to happen, America will loose nearly half of the population.

America once held a strong moral standard. In the last ten years America has forgone moral standards in favor of pushing Christians out.

You are to raise up your children. Many times in the Bible, God give instructions on raising children. We are to raise up children in the way they should go. We are to teach them as we wake in the morning and before going to bed. We are to teach them as we walk with them in the day, and as we do our daily tasks everyday. By not raising your children correctly, you are bringing destruction upon you and your children, and this effect society as a whole.

I had seen a post by some parents saying their son wants to dress like a girl. The post says the parents are allowing them to make their own choices.

This however is wrong. We are to teach our children right from wrong, including making good decisions from bad decisions. We are to be their parents, not their best friend. They have plenty of friends. What children need are strong, responsible parents.

As any orphan child and they will tell you what they most desire is to have parents. They have plenty of friends. What they don't desire are more friends.

When a boy or girl wants to be like the opposite sex, this si a sign of a confused child. Parents need to break this or else they will grow into this confusion and be part of the homosexual and transgender perverted culture as adults.

Ephesians 6:3-4 SO THAT IT MAY BE WELL WITH YOU, AND THAT YOU MAY LIVE LONG ON THE EARTH. Fathers, do not provoke your children to anger, but bring them up in the discipline and instruction of the Lord.

Proverbs 22:5-6 Thorns and snares are in the way of the froward: he that doth keep his soul shall be far from them. Train up a child in the way he should go: and when he is old, he will not depart from it.

As we see a rising hatred and increase in persecution of Christians, we must remain steadfast in Jesus. For Jesus told us this will happen. Read Matthew 24 and learn what Jesus said about our current times. In there was see the first few verses talk about the two world wars. Jesus said there would be famines, pestilences, and earthquakes in various places. But yet this is not the end.

Verse 8, Jesus said 'All these are the beginning of sorrows.

If you ever heard people say things will get worse, it is true. Following verse 8 Jesus talks about Christians being delivered up to tribulation, being killed, and being hated by all nations. In America we see an explosion of hatred for Christians. America, a country founded upon Christian principles now hates Christians and Christian principles.

Verse 12 talks about lawlessness will abound. We do see that with many judges dismissing the law and trampling on people's God given rights.

Reading verse 29, we should rejoice if the the sun and moon darkens. In just a few verses, Jesus says he will return for his elect.

Yes the rapture of the church is in Matthew 24.

As Christians we need to stand firm in Christ. Matthew 24:13 But he who endures to the end shall be saved.

Persecution is coming our way. Stand strong in Jesus.

details of the rapture are in res to the end shall be saved.s. 

What is the truth today? Many people think they know the truth and it is what they decide. But the truth is not what you make it. Truth is truth. Truth is not dependent on peoples shifting options and emotions.

In science, we try to find the truth, but there are times when some theory is publicised and taken as fact. Theory is some one's thought or option. It is not truth. Truth is discovered.

Some years ago Norman Geisler and Frank Turek wrote a book entitled I Don't Have Enough Faith to Be an Atheist, in which they discussed the concept of truth: Truth is discovered, not invented. It is transcultural, true for everyone, everywhere, and all the time. Truth is unchanging; it's immune from shifting human opinions. Truth is absolute, for it comes from an absolutely supreme Creator-God.

Jesus said He is the way, the truth, and the life; no one come unto the father except thru Him.

In many parts of the world, Christians are the most persecuted people. All other religions are allowed to continue without any reprisal. Even in America, Christians are being punished for their faith. America the so-called 'free' country. Well if we Christians are not allowed to be Christians, then America is truly not a free Country. Jesus told His decibels the days of Sodom will return. We see that happening with the destruction of marriage (also called same sex marriage), the promoting of homosexual agendas and the government forcing it on everyone, even in the entertainment industry.

Know the truth. Search for Jesus, and you will find Him.

Put your trust in Jesus today.

We are made in the image of God. We do not have the right to distort, change, alter, and modify the image. God created us in His likeness. Genesis 1:26

I now have seen previews for four movies that either promote homosexualism or the destruction of the body. This is not natural. Hollywood has clearly embraced the Fagot movement, and the 'hate your body' movement. Despite the utter evil these movies promote, they are advertised and promoted with positive comments. The general public seems to be welcoming these movies with open arms.

We can not allow these kinds of movies to be accepted in any way. We need to protest these movies. We need to send a clear message to Hollywood that these kinds of movies are unacceptable.

If children see these movies, they will become fascinated with what they promote and experiment themselves. We need to protect our children.

Romans 12:1 Therefore, I urge you, brothers and sisters, in view of God's mercy, to offer your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and pleasing to God--this is your true and proper worship.
