Our Belief In The Divine Inspiration And Providential Preservation Of The Bible.
by Stephen Scot-Pearson

        "All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for the doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness: That the man of God may be perfect, thoroughly furnished unto all good works."
(2 Timothy 3:16-17)

        "For the prophecy came not in old time by the will of man: but holy men of God spake they were moved by the Holy Ghost." (2 Peter 1:21). 

        The writings which God inspired, being the very breath of God (Greek word theopneustos meaning God breathed), are supernaturally, planarly, and verbally inspired, free from any error, infallible, and inerrant. As such they are unique. No other writings, have ever been or ever will be inspired. 

        We declare our belief that the texts which are the closest to the original autographs of the Bible ae of the Bible are traditional Masoretic Hebrew text for the Old Testament and the traditional Greek text for the New Testament underlying the Authorized version of 1611 (The Textus Receptus Beza's edition - being the primary authority).

        We declare our belief that the Authorized Version known as the King James Bible of 1611; is the true English Bible, is the true faithful, and accurate translation of these two providential preserved texts. 

        Such is the excellence of this translation that we can without hesitation hold in our hand the Authorized Version of 1611 and say "THIS IS THE WORD OF GOD!". We acknowledge that scripture must be compared with scripture and that occasional recourse to the underlying original text aids clarity.

        We declare our belief that ALL of the verses in the Authorized Version of the Bible belong there because they represent words we believe were in the original texts. We declare our belief that NO conflicts or contradictions are to be found in our Bible.

        By Almighty God's free, saving grace we have been born again, ".. not of corruptible seed, but of the incorruptible, by the word of God, which liveth and abideth for ever ... "
(1 Peter 1:23).

        "If we don't have an inspired Bible to hold in our hands and read, we have nothing!"
                                Pastor Don Gum

        We are not to look at our faith, but to God's faithfulness. We do not look on present circumstances but look on God's resources. We do not take thought for tomorrow. It is in God's hands.

The Lord's Pressence

  I found this in the church bulletin of Calvary Baptist Church of Portsmouth NH and found it inspiring. I copied it below. The Lord's Presence by Mrs. Jonathan Goforth May the Lord's presence for the new year be: Above You - To Guard "Know therefore this day and consider it in thine heart, that the Lord He is God in heaven above, and upon the earth beneath there is none else" ( Deut. 4:39 ). Underneath To Support "The eternal God is thy refuge, and underneath are the everlasting arms and He shall thrust out the enemy from before thee, and shall say say, destroy them" ( Deut. 33:27 ). Behind - As A Rear Guard "For ye shall not go out with haste, nor go by flight, for the Lord will go before you and the God of Israel will be your reward." ( Isa. 52:12 ). Before - To Lead "I will go before thee, and make the crooked places straight" ( Isa. 45:2 ) At Your Right Hand - To Protect "I have set the Lord always before me, because He is at ...

Part Two of My Trip to the Museum of the Bible in Washington DC

This is the part where they had the King James Bibles. It gave some information on the history of it and there were a few King James Bibles too. There might be other photos of this floor where they have the history of the Bible and they will be part of a different blog. It took up the whole floor. There are six floors of the museum with floor having a different theme / part of the Bible. These photos are nice but one should go to the museum to really experience what they have and learn from what they show.  The upper part of the King James Bible sign. Here is the lower part of the sign above showing Bibles.  Here is the same sign as above.  Here is the king who authorized the creation of the King James Bible; King James. He was King James the VI of Scotland then became King James the 1st of England.  Here is the whole display for King James.  Here are more Bibles. Here is a really big Bible.  They have a varie...

Lord, Teach Me And Help Me:

Image
  This was copied from the 02/25/2024 bulletin from the Calvary Baptist Church of Portsmouth NH . Lord, Teach Me and Help Me;     Teach me, my Lord, to be sweet and gentle in all the events of life-           In the disappointments,          In the thoughtlessness of others,          In the insincerity of those I trusted,           In the unfaithfulness of those whom I relied.     Let me put myself aside          To think of the happiness of others,          To hide my little pains and heartaches  so that I may be           the only one to suffer them. Teach me to profit by the suffering that comes across my path. Let me so use it that it may mellow me;          Not harden nor embitter me;          That it may make me pa...
