Popery teaches man becomes GOD

A quote from St. Athanasius that is found in Catechism no. 460 of the Catholic Church:

“For the Son of God became man so that we might become God”

Roman Catholicism promotes the lie of the serpent as seen in Genesis 3:5
For God doth know that in the day ye eat thereof, then your eyes shall be opened, and ye shall be as gods, knowing good and evil.

460 The Word became flesh to make us “partakers of the divine nature“:78 “For this is why the Word became man, and the Son of God became the Son of man: so that man, by entering into communion with the Word and thus receiving divine sonship, might become a son of God.”79 “For the Son of God became man so that we might become God.”80 “The only-begotten Son of God, wanting to make us sharers in his divinity, assumed our nature, so that he, made man, might make men gods.”81

80 St. Athanasius, De inc. 54, 3: PG 25, 192B.

unity

Unity of the body without compromise is only achieved when we are all members of the same family

Family members are those who are of the same father (whether through blood, adoption, or marriage).

Your father is who you are yielded to, either you serve the Father in heaven, or the father of lies.

Those who look to God’s word as their final authority are of the same family.

Unity is preserved when any differences between the members are resolved by looking to God’s word for the resolution.

incorruptible seed

The ONLY source of
faith
Rom 10:17 – So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by
the word of God.
Rom 14:23b – for whatsoever
is not of faith is sin.
Prove all things
1 Thess 5:21 – Prove all things; hold fast that which is
good.
1 John 4:1 – Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try the
spirits whether they are of God: because many false prophets are gone out into
the world.
Isaiah 8:20 – To the law and to the testimony: if they
speak not according to this word, it is because there is no light in them
Acts 17:11 – These were more noble than those in
Thessalonica, in that they received the word with all readiness of mind, and
searched the scriptures daily, whether those things were so.

You search scripture
in order to tell if something is true.
2 Tim 2:15 – Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a
workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.
You study scripture
in order to rightfully divide the word of truth.
Warning
Deut 12:32 – What thing soever I command you, observe to do
it: thou shalt not add thereto, nor diminish from it. (also Deut 4:2)
Is it fear?
Concerning accusations
of “being in fear”.  TRUE! I am in fear…
FEAR OF THE LORD.
The lampstand is the only
source of light inside the tabernacle or temple Holy Place.  It has seven lamps on one lampstand made out
of a single piece of pure gold. (Ex
25:31-40; Ex 37:22)
Revelation references
the 7 spirits of God. (Rev 1:4; 3:1;
4:5; and 5:6).
Isaiah 11:2 – and the spirit of the Lord shall rest upon
him, the spirit of wisdom and understanding, the spirit of counsel and might,
the spirit of knowledge and of the fear
of 
the Lord;

Fear of the Lord is
not last in the list, it is at the bottom of the list signifying it is the FOUNDATION
upon which knowledge, might, counsel, understanding, and wisdom are built.

Prov 9:10 – The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom:
and the knowledge of the holy is understanding
Psalm 111:10 – The fear of the Lord is the beginning of
wisdom: a good understanding have all they that do his commandments: his praise
endureth for ever
Ps 119:120 – My flesh trembleth for fear of thee; and I am
afraid of thy judgments.
Phil 2:12b – work out your own salvation with fear and
trembling.
Drunk on corrupted
wine
Luke 5:39 – No man also having drunk old wine straightway
desireth new: for he saith, The old is better.

Sowers of
corruptible seed
2 Tim 3:1-9 – This know also, that in the last days perilous
times shall come.  For men shall be
lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient
to parents, unthankful, unholy, 3 without natural affection, trucebreakers,
false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good, 4
traitors, heady, highminded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God;  having a form of godliness, but denying the
power thereof: from such turn away.  For
of this sort are they which creep into houses, and lead captive silly women
laden with sins, led away with divers lusts,  ever learning, and never able to come to the
knowledge of the truth.  Now as Jannes
and Jambres withstood Moses, so do these also resist the truth: men of corrupt
minds, reprobate concerning the faith.  But they shall proceed no further: for their
folly shall be manifest unto all men, as theirs also was.
Prov 30:6 – Add thou not unto his words, lest he reprove
thee, and thou be found a liar.
Consequences
Rev 22:18-19 – 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.
Luke 17:2 – It were better for him that a millstone were
hanged about his neck, and he cast into the sea, than that he should offend one
of these little ones.
Gal 1:6-9 – I marvel that ye are so soon removed from him
that called you into the grace of Christ unto another gospel:  which is not another; but there be some that
trouble you, and would pervert the gospel of Christ.  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.  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.
2 Cor 11:13-15 – For such are false apostles, deceitful
workers, transforming themselves into the apostles of Christ. And no marvel;
for Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light.  Therefore it is no great thing if his ministers
also be transformed as the ministers of righteousness; whose end shall be
according to their works.
2 Peter 2:1 – But there were false prophets also among the
people, even as there shall be false teachers among you, who privily shall
bring in damnable heresies, even denying the Lord that bought them, and bring upon themselves swift destruction.
Isaiah 9:16 – For the leaders of this people cause them to
err; and they that are led of them are destroyed.


Our Responsibility
Eph 5:11 – And have no fellowship with the unfruitful works
of darkness, but rather reprove them.

Instead of reproving
them, many pastors are “bidding God speed” to false teachers for their own gain
but they will not escape the consequences.

2 John 1:10-11 – If there come any unto you, and bring not
this doctrine, receive him not into your house, neither bid him God speed: For he that biddeth him God speed is
partaker of his evil deeds.

Did Jesus talk like the King James?

I recently heard someone say “Jesus didn’t talk like the King James”.

Scripture does not record Jesus speaking like any English translation of the Bible.

The languages of scripture — Hebrew, Aramaic, Greek — all have distinct personal pronouns that differentiate between singular and plural.

The second person singular pronouns of thee, thou, thy, and thine which were in common in use in Old English (Anglo-Saxon 5th-12th Centuries), and fell out of common use in Middle English (12th – 15th Century) and are not commonly used in Modern English (15th Century onward).

Even after falling out of common use, these singular pronouns were used in the major English translations of Bible up through the Authorized Version of 1611 (a.k.a. King James Bible) to preserve the Greek and Hebrew distinction between singular and plural personal pronouns and adjectives.

Here is a breakdown of how these pronouns are most commonly used:

CaseSingularPluralUsage
ObjectiveTheeYouWhen the object of the sentence
NominativeThouYeWhen the subject of the sentence
PossessiveThyYourCommonly used before a noun that begins with a consonant/consonant sound (like the article, “a”)
PossessiveThineYoursCommonly used before a noun that begins with vowel/vowel sound (like the article, “an”). Also used when indicating that something is “absolute and understood”

Mockers often criticize the use of the “thees and thous”, saying it makes it difficult to read.

Far from difficult, just remember this simple rule of thumb:

T=Singular

Y=Plural

Easy right?

Now, keep in mind, every word is significant.

Luke 4:4 – And Jesus answered him, saying, It is written, That man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word of God.

So, exactly how DID Jesus speak?

Take for example His discussion with Nicodemus in John 3:7

ESVKJB
Do not marvel that I said to you, ‘You must be born again.’Marvel not that I said unto thee, Ye must be born again.

We can see that the KJB preserves the singular and plural distinction in pronouns, where the ESV does not.

Also, compare Matthew 26:62-64

ESVKJB
And the high priest stood up and said, “Have you no answer to make? What is it that these men testify against you?” But Jesus remained silent. And the high priest said to him, “I adjure you by the living God, tell us if you are the Christ, the Son of God.” Jesus said to him, “You have said so. But I tell you, from now on you will see the Son of Man seated at the right hand of Power and coming on the clouds of heaven.”And the high priest arose, and said unto him, Answerest thou nothing? what is it which these witness against thee?  But Jesus held his peace. And the high priest answered and said unto him, I adjure thee by the living God, that thou tell us whether thou be the Christ, the Son of God.  Jesus saith unto him, Thou hast said: nevertheless I say unto you, Hereafter shall ye see the Son of man sitting on the right hand of power, and coming in the clouds of heaven.

and compare Luke 22:31-32

ESVKJB
“Simon, Simon, behold, Satan demanded to have you, that he might sift you like wheat, but I have prayed for you that your faith may not fail. And when you have turned again, strengthen your brothers.”And the Lord said, Simon, Simon, behold, Satan hath desired to have you, that he may sift you as wheat: but I have prayed for thee, that thy faith fail not: and when thou art converted, strengthen thy brethren.

In the KJB it is clear that the “you” in verse 31 is plural and the four pronouns in verse 32 are singular.

The ESV, NKJV, NIV, and other modern translations all lose the singular/plural distinction that was present in the actual words Jesus spoke.

So, technically speaking, because the King James Bible preserves this singular/plural distinction, Jesus DID speak more like the King James than any of the modern English translations.

triquetra

Exodus 20:3-4 – Thou shalt have no other gods before me.  Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image, or any likeness of any thing that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth:
Acts 17:29 – Forasmuch then as we are the offspring of God, we ought not to think that the Godhead is like unto gold, or silver, or stone, graven by art and man’s device.
Yet, when the New King James Version New Testament was released in 1979, it had the triquetra prominently displayed.  The “red and yellow kill a fellow” colors should have been warning enough.
When the old and new testament NKJV was released in 1982 it still retained the triquetra on the spine and inside title page

Then in a later printing, they added an explanation of what they wanted purchasers to think it represented.

The New [Age] King James says that it uses the triquetra to symbolize the trinity.  Clearly they have not even read their own text, as Acts 17:29 clearly says not to think that the Godhead is like any art or man’s device.
There is an un-holy trinity that IS represented by the triquetra…

Embedded in the triquetra are 666…

the triquetra is a prominent new age symbol
the triquetra is a prominent symbol in witchcraft (wicca)

It was prominent in the witchcraft celebrating series “Charmed” and on the Charmed “Book of Shadows”
The triquetra is also used in occult societies such as the Masons.  The Masonic three-three-three ceremony.  Seen from above, the three men holding hands form a triquetra as represented in the serpent symbology…

and why does James R. White champion the triquetra and imply it’s symbolizing the Godhead clearly contrary to Acts 17:29

Here is the triquetra yet again, in agreement with the New King James Version, White includes the triquetra in the page next the the “Forward” the first edition of his anti-preserved scripture book

Distant Starlight

The issue of distant starlight goes something like “since we see light from stars that are millions of light years away, then it took millions of years for the light to reach us, therefore the universe is millions of years old”.

This line of reasoning is based on a not just observations, but also a large number of presumptions – some of which are incorrect…

The speed of light being constant – false, observations indicate that it was faster in the past. Experiments have also been conducted that have slowed and/or bent light.

Time is rigid – false, rate of passage of time is impacted by gravity and the speed at which an object is traveling

Uniformitarianism – assumption that the same natural laws and processes that operate in the universe now have always operated in the universe in the past and apply everywhere in the universe.

Naturalism – assumption that nature is “all there is” and everything can be explained using natural laws.  Being that there are supernatural, spiritual, and multi-dimensional components to reality, then we can expect existence of phenomena that defies our ability to explain based on our current understanding of natural laws.

The question to ask concerning assumptions is: “How do you know?”   How do you know that light has always traveled at the same rate?  How do you know that the decay rate of a particular radioactive material has always been the same?  How do you know there is nothing beyond the natural laws?

The fact of the matter is that even “big bang” supporters have a distant starlight time-travel problem of its own and there is yet a satisfactory model to explain observations.

Gen 1:14-19 – And God said, Let there be lights in the firmament of the heaven to divide the day from the night; and let them be for signs, and for seasons, and for days, and years:  and let them be for lights in the firmament of the heaven to give light upon the earth: and it was so.  And God made two great lights; the greater light to rule the day, and the lesser light to rule the night: he made the stars also.  And God set them in the firmament of the heaven to give light upon the earth, and to rule over the day and over the night, and to divide the light from the darkness: and God saw that it was good. And the evening and the morning were the fourth day.

Ps 104:2 – Who coverest thyself with light as with a garment: who stretchest out the heavens like a curtain (Isaiah 40:22; Isaiah 42:5; Isaiah 45:12; Jeremiah 10:12; Jeremiah 32:17; Jeremiah 51:15)

spiritual cabinet of 12

Beast World Government and Spiritual Cabinet of 12

[developing…]

There will thus be the Spiritual Cabinet of twelve whose rightful head would be none other than “Christ” himself. . . .

He whom the Christians know as Christ, the Jews know as Messiah, and the Orient knows as Maitreya, Islam knows as the Mahdi or 12th Imam, may eventually be recognized as one and the same Being.

In this way could a “World Religion” develop quite naturally, and in harmony with a World Government.

a mark IN their right hand, or IN their foreheads

Rev 13:16 KJB – And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads:

Compare the other translations at this link:
http://biblehub.com/revelation/13-16.htm

Rev 13:16 ESV – Also it causes all, both small and great, both rich and poor, both free and slave, to be marked on the right hand or the forehead,

You will find most all of the modern translation say the the mark will be “ON” the right hand and forehead.

One possibility to consider is that the mark may not be some form of tattoo, barcode, or device placed ON the hand or forehead.  Could these modern, new-age, one-world so-called bibles be preparing people for a mark that would instead be IN their hand or forehead?

Since they are expecting something to be “on” their hand or forehead, would they be willing to accept an implanted device, injected serum, or something that changes DNA?
