PROTECTORS of SCRIPTURE

Galatians 1:8-9

King James Version

8 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.

9 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.

There are many unsung heroes who loved the Bible.

We must not forget them, for they gave up their lives.

And how they were challenged by the Roman Catholic church.

But they never gave up their faith.

It's time we looked into how the Bible evolved.

As well as the men, and women, who protected it.

Making sure the integrity of GOD's WORD was preserved.

Who are those who truly loved Scripture?

Who are those who tried to squelch its propagation?

How can we know about them?

The HOLY SPIRIT led me to a remarkable video last night.

From which, I was able to gather all I needed to know.

Or, at least, the basic framework for future studies.

These links you'll find very useful, and enlightening.

Propagation of GOD's WORD:

Albigensians -- interestingly, and as to be expected, there is no positive material on the Albigensians. It's as if the world wanted to totally wipe out their existence, or contribution. And yet, we shall find, they may have played an important part in the furtherance of GOD's WORD.

Ironically, it's only through a section of the Inquisitor's Manual of Bernard Gui, as shared by Fordham University, that we learn anything fair about the Albigensians.

John Cumming (clergyman)

Ian Paisley

In contrast, those who propagated Catholicism:

Michelangelo Tamburini

Second Vatican Council

John Henry Newman

Oxford Movement

It's truly a cosmic battle.

A battle of the WORD, versus the world.

Especially in these end times.

But we all know JESUS will conquer all.

It's all been prophesied.

GOOD NEWS for BELIEVERS

Matthew 18:1-5

King James Version

18 At the same time

came the disciples unto Jesus, saying,

Who is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven?

2 And Jesus called a little child unto him,

and set him in the midst of them,

3 And said,

Verily I say unto you,

Except ye be converted,

and become as little children,

ye shall not enter into the kingdom of heaven.

4 Whosoever therefore shall humble himself

as this little child,

the same is greatest in the kingdom of heaven.

5 And whoso shall receive

one such little child in my name

receiveth me.

What can believers look forward to?

What are the promises JESUS gave us?

First, who are believers?

JESUS explains it best:

John 17:2-3

King James Version

2 As thou hast given him power over all flesh,

that he should give eternal life

to as many as thou hast given him.

3 And this is life eternal,

that they might know thee the only true God,

and Jesus Christ,

whom thou hast sent.

Many people resent the gospel.

Many people don't believe.

Many don't want to believe.

Many become fearful when they hear of GOD's wrath.

This verse applies to those who believe:

John 10:27

King James Version

27 My sheep hear my voice,

and I know them,

and they follow me:

GOD's wrath applies to the wicked.

And those who deliberately deceive others.

Believers can expect GOOD NEWS from CHRIST.

Here's what born agains have been promised:

Citizenship in Heaven

CHAMPIONING the BIBLE

2 Timothy 3:16-17

King James Version

16 All scripture is given by inspiration of God,

and is profitable for doctrine,

for reproof, for correction,

for instruction in righteousness:

17 That the man of God may be perfect,

thoroughly furnished unto all good works.

Why am I championing the Bible?

Because it is the WORD of GOD.

Because I love GOD.

Because I honor the sacrifice of JESUS.

Because the HOLY SPIRIT is teaching me more about Jesus each day.

Because I am a sinner, in great need of correction.

Because I want to be with JESUS one day.

Because the BIBLE is our greatest SOURCE of God's INSTRUCTION for how to be with Him one day.

Because the BIBLE teaches me everything about the TRIUNE God -- God, the FATHER, God, the SON, and God, the HOLY SPIRIT.

Because we are at war, and we need to know the enemy.

Because the BIBLE carries all of JESUS' prophecies, and all those who prophesied about His coming, and His RETURN.

Because the BIBLE tells me of GOD's history -- all that happened, is happening, and will happen.

Because the BIBLE carries ALL of God's TRUTH.

Because the BIBLE discerns our hearts.

Hebrews 4:12

King James Version

12 For the word of God is quick,

and powerful,

and sharper than any twoedged sword,

piercing even to the dividing asunder

of soul and spirit,

and of the joints and marrow,

and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents

of the heart.

Because it is the MOST important BOOK of the world.

I've been searching for a long time for ULTIMATE Truth, and I found GOD is the ULTIMATE TRUTH, and the BIBLE is the ULTIMATE SOURCE of GOD's TRUTH.

Through the Bible, under the GRACE and GUIDANCE of the LORD, you will understand why we are the way we are, why life seems so challenging, how we can overcome it all, what work to do, how to conduct yourself, how to love, and what to look forward to.

You will learn about GOD, JESUS, the HOLY SPIRIT, the prophets, the apostles, the LAWS of God, prophecies, the past, present, and future.

You will know EVERYTHING of GOD.

If we care to know how we are to live, love, thrive, work, think, speak, and act, the BIBLE carries ALL instructions that are PERFECT in God's EYES.

You will know who the enemy is, what he has done, how he traps us all, and how to protect yourself and those you care about.

You will know what work to do that is valuable and honorable, something you can bring back home to God, as your humble offering, for the life you were given.

The BIBLE is composed of 66 books, with 40 authors; nearly one-third of it is PROPHECY.

I've read many books in the past, but never really approached the Bible, for I didn't know which "version" to read.

What wasn't immediately apparent was that my heart had to be RIGHT with the LORD first.

When He knew I was finally ready to know His TRUTH, He sent the HOLY SPIRIT to teach me.

After that, everything became clear.

So clear, we've created many blogs from our findings.

And this we've come to know -- every road leads back to CHRIST:

John 14:6

King James Version

6 Jesus saith unto him,

I am the way,

the truth,

and the life:

no man cometh unto the Father,

but by me.

May you enjoy this simple blog, my offering back to CHRIST, for the life, and love, given.

May the SCRIPTURE links on this blog invite your undivided attention, for these are critical, determining times, where we are to make a stand, whether we are FOR, or against, GOD.

All these, I came to know when GOD made me born again in 2019.

I was never the same since.
