Is Christianity Hard? Depends On What Bible Version You Read

[Angela53510]

I find that most who turn to the Hebrew & Greek do not always turn to Christ for discerning the words of His actual message. Most of the words in Greek is defined by how it is used in the verse and so one has to discern the message by Him in order to get the meaning of His words in the Greek right.

Example.. the Greek word "pneuma" which has a variety of definitions which does not and cannot always refer to the Holy Spirit. So penuma is defined by how it is used in the context of the message.

The fact that modern translators from the Greek has goofed in capitalizing pneuma as referring to the Holy Spirit in John 6:63 & 2 Corinthians 3:6 when it was not, shows that human error is bound to happen more than not in getting His actual message than from the written word as it is in the KJV.

So after you do whatever you do with the Greek, do ask Him for confirmation if you got it right, especially when you take that verse in Greek in context of the message that is being given.

If you do not see how it is an error to capitalize pneuma as referring to the Holy Spirit in John 6:63 & 2 Corinthians 3:6, then I can honestly say to you, that it would be in your best interest to stick with the written word of the KJV.

And the KJV has been translated in other languages just as the NIV and other modern Bibles have been.

So if French is your main language for living up in Canada, then you should be able to get the KJV in French.

But you seem to be doing pretty good as far as your English goes but you would know more than I would. Unless you are talking about how the KJV is written in English, then you should know I see no hurdles for the way it is written.

Back in 1611,.. yeah.. there are some hurdles, but I am referring to the KJV as it is now at this site at Bible Gateway.

https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Psalm+119%3A157-158&version=KJV

There is an authorized King James Version but I do not see any difference in the wording. I just like the way it is presented in that King James Version. It is not the same as the New King James Version nor the 21st Century King James Version.... because those two versions have changed the wordings and the message as kept in the KJV I am using.

Anyway, pray about it. The scripture does not say .. go to the Hebrew & Greek to know His actual words to get His message, but to go before that throne of grace and ask Jesus for wisdom to understand and apply His word in the scripture.

James 1:[SUP]5 [/SUP]If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, that giveth to all men liberally, and upbraideth not; and it shall be given him.

Good night, sister.

I do speak French fluently, but only because I went out of my way to learn. I'm from western Canada, English is the language spoken here.

As as far as the Bible, as I have said many times, I do not speak Elizabethan English. When I was a young child, I learned various verses in KJV in Sunday School, which I relearned in modern English when I was saved, 37 years ago. I've read the Bible over 50 times, mostly in English but also in French, parts of the OT in Hebrew, and most of the NT in Greek. I've studied the Bible in Seminary.

I have done a lot of translating, and the KJV has too many errors that I would ever use it as a reference. Besides the fact that again, I do not understand Elizabethan English, and never will! I do use commentaries, but more and more I depend upon the Holy Spirit to lead and guide me in the Word. As a pastor, and a part time preacher in my church, hearing from God is vital to leading people to know Christ better and to follow him. I am quite certain I have considerably more education, training and a longer walk with Jesus than you. So spare me the condescending lectures. Learning to read the KJV is not in my radar. I'm learning German right now, already reading the Bible in that language. That is where God is leading me!

I do not understand what on earth you are saying about capitalizing pneuma. You do know that the earliest Greek manuscripts are in majescules, or ALL capital letters? With no spaces? And, John 6:63 has two "pneumas" in it, which one are you referring to? 2 Cor 3:6 also has two pneumas, both capitalized in NET and a few other versions I looked at.

"The Spirit is the one who gives life; human nature is of no help! The words that I have spoken to you are spirit and are life." John 6:63 NET

"who made us adequate to be servants of a new covenant not based on the letter but on the Spirit, for the letter kills, but the Spirit gives life." 2 Cor. 3:6 NET

Perhaps you better read up a bit more in text criticism, before you start using the KJV as the basis of your pronouncements. And I would suggest learning Greek! Certainly it might pull you out of thinking that the KJV is the best version of the Bible.

Have you seen Heartland on TV? I like it, albeit, not a christian show. Don't know why i felt the need to inject that in there. Totally off topic.

I seriously doubt your statement since I am reading the KJV and see no such errors you are claiming there is whereas I have seen modern Bibles deviate from the truth in His words like John 16:13 of whatever French modern Bible you are using, testifying that the Holy Spirit CANNOT use tongues to utter His own intercessions and yet somehow Romans 8:26-27 says the opposite in that modern Bible. Since scripture cannot go against scripture, YOU should be doubting the accuracy in the translations of ALL of these modern Bibles. But instead, you seem to be nitpicking little things as if those are errors in the KJV whereas none of them are lies that would cause a saved believer to go astray, let alone stay astray.

Besides the fact that again, I do not understand Elizabethan English, and never will! I do use commentaries, but more and more I depend upon the Holy Spirit to lead and guide me in the Word.

Perhaps you better read up a bit more in text criticism, before you start using the KJV as the basis of your pronouncements. And I would suggest learning Greek! Certainly it might pull you out of thinking that the KJV is the best version of the Bible.

John 6:63 NET is wrong as well as 2 Corinthians 3:6 NET

John 6:[SUP]63 [/SUP]It is the spirit that quickeneth; the flesh profiteth nothing: the words that I speak unto you, they are spirit, and they are life. KJV

2 Corinthians 3:[SUP]6 [/SUP]Who also hath made us able ministers of the new testament; not of the letter, but of the spirit: for the letter killeth, but the spirit giveth life. KJV

Both verses are not referring to the Holy Spirit but a vital principle or a mental disposition. In John 6:63, Jesus is talking about His words, therefore vital principle that quickens as scripture rerpoves, corrects, trains in righteousness hence quicken.

2 Corinthians 3:6 is opposing being of the letter; hence mental disposition; opposing being religious but trusting in the Lord; hence in spirit mentally.

Here is a definition of pneuma from Strong's Concordance at this link;

HTML Bible Index - King James Version - Strongs Concordance - Frames Version

from pnew - pneo 4154; a current of air, i.e. breath (blast) or a breeze; by analogy or figuratively, a spirit, i.e. (human) the rational soul, (by implication) vital principle, mental disposition, etc., or (superhuman) an angel, demon, or (divine) God, Christ's spirit, the Holy Spirit:--ghost, life, spirit(-ual, -ually), mind. Compare yuch - psuche 5590.

Therefore and obviously, not all definitions applies to the Holy Spirit. So how it is used in the verse defines what that penuma is.

The prompt to learn the Greek in Romans 8:26-27 is unnecessary when there is a Greek word for groaning "stenagmoiV" or stenagmos and another Greek word "alalhtoiV" or alaletos for unspeakable and unutterable... hence even His groaning cannot be uttered as the KJV has it but the NIV implies the Holy Spirit is giving His own intercessions by Himself through wordless groans, running against the truth of John 16:13 in that NIV Bible.

Clearly the NIV is a lie and since no lie can be of the truth... what Bible are you going to use?

One that supports false tongues without interpretation gained by that apostate calling of seeking to receive the Holy Spirit apart from salvation or the One that supports that God's gift of tongues is for ONLY speaking unto the people and that there is no receiving the Holy Spirit separate from salvation?

 

[MarcR]

I don't think the problem is Bible versions. I think that a teacher, who speaks well but teaches false doctrine can gain the trust of those who hear him. Once that trust is gained, an attitude develops which in effect says 'Don't confuse me with the truth; I know what I believe'. Once that attitude develops; it is difficult or impossible to get past it.

When dealing with a supernatural tongue that has been in the world before Pentecost as vain & profane babbling nonsense that has been gained by what saved believers are assuming was the Holy Spirit coming over them again apart from salvation, then there is a need to have the right Bible version maintaining the meat of His words for discerning good & evil by it.

Look at how the NIV support the notion that the Holy Spirit can utter His own intercessions through wordless groans.

Romans 8:[SUP]26 [/SUP]In the same way, the Spirit helps us in our weakness. We do not know what we ought to pray for, but the Spirit himself intercedes for us through wordless groans. [SUP]27 [/SUP]And he who searches our hearts knows the mind of the Spirit, because the Spirit intercedes for God’s people in accordance with the will of God. NIV

Forget the grammatical error in verse 27 where the "he" which is separate from us that searches our hearts and separates from the Spirit to know the mind of that the "he" cannot be the Spirit in the conclusion of that verse, verse 26 runs against the truth in His words of John 16:13 in that very same NIV Bible.

John 16:[SUP]13 [/SUP]But when he, the Spirit of truth, comes, he will guide you into all the truth. He will not speak on his own; he will speak only what he hears, and he will tell you what is yet to come. NIV

All modern Bibles maintain that truth that the Holy Spirit CANNOT use God's gift of tongues for speaking unto the people to turn it around for His own personal use in uttering His intercessions, therefore the reason it is not understood by a foreigner nor interpreted by another is because it is not being manifested by the Holy Spirit at all.

Only the KJV has it right and so the right Bible versions does matter when modern Bibles has Romans 8:26-27 sowing doubts in His words of John 16:13 so much that even non-tongue speakers do not see that truth at all.

And yet some believers do not see Romans 8:26-27 of the KJV as keeping in line with the truth in His words in John 16:13 as they keep reading all the modern Bible version into it and yet His groaning CANNOT be UTTERED; hence no sound at all.

I know that these are the last days and believers are not going to see the importance of relying on the KJV for the meat of His words to discern good and evil by Him.....unless the Lord wants them to see that truth, but as it is, His sheep will follow His voice; it will not follow the stranger's voice; which is what tongues without interpretation is; John 10:1-5

But He will get His lost sheep that followed the stranger's voice even if they are left behind because they are His: John 10:16 as He MUST bring those "sheep" so that they may be made to hear His voice and be of the one fold and one shepherd.

Those coming out of the great tribulation will see and hear Jesus Christ Himself, the King of kings where they will know NOT to follow that stranger's voice any more but listen to His words plainly understood as spoken by Him in the language they know.

Enow,

I agree with your post but I don't see how it responds to mine. I spoke of false doctrine not of glossaalllea.

 

[oldethennew]

Christianity if the receiving of the Holy Spirit - learning to submit and obey, dying to our
'old carnal creature', this is the 'true TEST of using the Faith that we have been blessed with...
and so we grow and grow, day by day into the 'new-man/woman', servants/soldiers for Christ'...

As long as everyone understands that the receiving of the Holy Spirit is a one & only time event and that happens at our salvation, then we can grow by reading the word.

Colossians 2:[SUP]6 [/SUP]As ye have therefore received Christ Jesus the Lord, so walk ye in him: [SUP]7 [/SUP]Rooted and built up in him, and stablished in the faith, as ye have been taught, abounding therein with thanksgiving. [SUP]8 [/SUP]Beware lest any man spoil you through philosophy and vain deceit, after the tradition of men, after the rudiments of the world, and not after Christ. [SUP]9 [/SUP]For in him dwelleth all the fulness of the Godhead bodily. [SUP]10 [/SUP]And ye are complete in him, which is the head of all principality and power:

I was disagreeing you by showing why I believe Bible versions are the problem, but I do acknowledge that subverted believers in their false teachings will not listen to any correction regardless of the reproving verse of the very Bible that false teacher is using, even the KJV.

But thank you for sharing, brother MarcR

 

[OneFaith]

If any one wonders why some saved believers thinks that christianity is supposed to be hard and difficult and that they are in the process of being saved and thus not saved yet, it could very well be because of the Bible version they are reading.

Compare Bible versions at Bible Gateway on Matthew 7:13-14 & if you scroll down some to compare 1 Corinthians 1:18.

You can switch out one of those Bible versions to compare your Bible version and see if an errant Bible version is why you or some believers thinks that christianity is supposed to be hard and difficult and in the process of being saved, but not saved yet.

I believe Matthew 7:13-14 is just pointing to the only way to approach God the Father by ( see John 14:6 ) and 1 Corinthians 1:18 is about how at the time of hearing the preaching of the cross and then believing in Him is how & when we were saved ( see 1 Corinthians 1:21 ). So beware a little leaven for it can leaven a whole lump and that is why I stick with the KJV for the meat of His words to discern good and evil teachings by, but feel free to go before that throne of grace and ask Jesus Christ to confirm His words to you as to which Bible version you should be using for keeping the faith which is the good fight. Otherwise, you would be at an impasse when errant scripture supports false teachings.

Christianity is hard- the Bible says so... "For if it is hard for the righteous to be saved, what will become of the ungodly and the sinner?" The problem is not so much in getting saved as it is in staying saved.

Christianity is hard- the Bible says so... "For if it is hard for the righteous to be saved, what will become of the ungodly and the sinner?" The problem is not so much in getting saved as it is in staying saved.

May I suggest reading those verses that says it is hard and read them in the King James Bible, please?

How do you not know that to be saved is to recognize what Christ has done for you so you can rest in Him as saved?

Matthew 11:[SUP]28 [/SUP]Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. [SUP]29 [/SUP]Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls. [SUP]30 [/SUP]For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.

Hebrews 4:1Let us therefore fear, lest, a promise being left us of entering into his rest, any of you should seem to come short of it. [SUP]2 [/SUP]For unto us was the gospel preached, as well as unto them: but the word preached did not profit them, not being mixed with faith in them that heard it. [SUP]3 [/SUP]For we which have believed do enter into rest, as he said, As I have sworn in my wrath, if they shall enter into my rest: although the works were finished from the foundation of the world.....[SUP]9 [/SUP]There remaineth therefore a rest to the people of God. [SUP]10 [/SUP]For he that is entered into his rest, he also hath ceased from his own works, as God did from his. [SUP]11 [/SUP]Let us labour therefore to enter into that rest, lest any man fall after the same example of unbelief.

1 Peter 4:[SUP]17 [/SUP]For the time is come that judgment must begin at the house of God: and if it first begin at us, what shall the end be of them that obey not the gospel of God? [SUP]18 [/SUP]And if the righteous scarcely be saved, where shall the ungodly and the sinner appear? [SUP]19 [/SUP]Wherefore let them that suffer according to the will of God commit the keeping of their souls to him in well doing, as unto a faithful Creator.

Those who refuse to rest in Him as saved and yet believe in His name, they shall be left behind to be made to rest from their labors as their works shall follow them in the dust. See Revelation 18th chapter at tis link for further reading.

https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Revelation+18&version=KJV

So ask Jesus for help to believe in Him that you are saved and trust Him to help you rest in Him in following Him for He is your Good Shepherd as well as your Saviour.

Mark 9:[SUP]23 [/SUP]Jesus said unto him, If thou canst believe, all things are possible to him that believeth. [SUP]24 [/SUP]And straightway the father of the child cried out, and said with tears, Lord, I believe; help thou mine unbelief.

John 3:[SUP]14 [/SUP]And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so must the Son of man be lifted up: [SUP]15 [/SUP]That whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have eternal life. [SUP]16 [/SUP]For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. [SUP]17 [/SUP]For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved. [SUP]18 [/SUP]He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.

1 John 5:1Whosoever believeth that Jesus is the Christ is born of God: and every one that loveth him that begat loveth him also that is begotten of him.

I do read other translations, including the KJV. Still I don't get your point, cause what you quoted says the same thing as what I mentioned. That Christians are scarcely saved, all don't make it, it's hard to be saved, so there is no hope for the ungodly who aren't even trying.

To obey the gospel is to believe in Him that you are saved.

Those who refuse to obey are coming short of the rest in Him when the look to themselves to save themselves.

The fact that the Holy Spirit is in you is a Witness that you had received eternal life even for believing in His name.

This is why God will judge His House first because many saved believers are still laboring in unbelief in trying to get themselves saved.. as well as others being in other forms of iniquity that denies Him.

Those left behind at the pre trib rapture event when God judges His House, will be made to rest from their labors as they will be received later on after the great tribulation as vessels unto dishonor in His House as a testimony from God that even they were saved by even believing in His name thus testifying to the power of God in salvation by believing in His name.

So why not go before that throne of grace and ask Jesus for help in understanding the gospel for salvation in why Jesus Christ is the Good News to man.
