The translation Hiz uses doesn’t differ from the KJV in substance. You refuse to acknowledge Gods Word in all translations.
It’s just that you have never heard to truth before so it is foreign to you.
It was the same for the Mainstream preachers of Christ’s time. They, like the church of today, transgress the Commandments of God by their own traditions. When Jesus showed up and opened their own Bible and showed them they were worshipping Him in vain, most couldn’t accept this either.
You should open you Bible and have an honest discussion, not about your church tradition, but what the Bible as a whole actually teaches.
Actually Studyman, this is a very good point you bring up. In many cases God understands that mainstream Christianity of today just like in the days of Jesus were being steeped in man made traditions that were taught to the people by mainstream preachers of the day in place of God's Word. This resulted in leading people AWAY from God's Word to break the commandments of God.
The message for today is that God is calling His people back to follow Him according to HIS WORD
Only those that follow him in Spirit and in Truth are following God because they KNOW HIM (the WORD) and BELIEVE HIM (FAITH in the WORD). God is calling all out from following man made traditions BACK to the WORD OF GOD. Only here can we find life as we are to LIVE BY EVERY WORD that proceeds out of the mouth of God..
John 8
30, As he spake these words, many believed on him.
31,Then said Jesus to those Jews which believed on him,
If ye continue in my word, then are ye my disciples indeed;
32, And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.
33, They answered him, We be Abraham's seed, and were never in bondage to any man: how say thou, Ye shall be made free?
34, Jesus answered them,
Verily, verily, I say unto you, Whosoever commits sin is the servant of sin.
35, And the servant abides not in the house for ever: but the Son abides ever.
36, If the Son therefore shall make you free, ye shall be free indeed.
God knows that many are ignorantly trying to follow him based on what they have been taught by menand in times of ignorance God winks at but when a KNOWLEDGE of the TRUTH has come calls ALL men EVERYWHERE to REPENT and follow His truth (Acts 17: 30-31)
Many will not hear his voice (the WORD) and will choose to follow their traditions they have been taught over the Word of God.
My prayer for ALL is that we be like Peter and the Apostles who say; We ought to OBEY GOD rather then man (Acts 5:29)
THOSE WHO BELIEVE the Word of God are the true BELIEVERS. Those that do not follow the WORD of God are UNBELIEVERS. It is the UNBELIEVERS that WILL NOT enter into God's Kingdom.
There is NO SCRIPTURE that says that God's 4th commandment has been ABOLISHED and we are now COMMANDED to keep Sunday as a HOLY day..................
Sunday worship is a tradition and teaching of man that has lead many to break the commandments of God. Jesus says that if we follow the traditions of man that break the commandments of God we are not following God (Matthew 15:3-9)
Who should we follow the teachings and traditions of men or the Word of God? Who should we believe the Words of men or the Word of God?
May God bless you as you seek him through His Word.
