Hello, and praise Jesus for this forum! I've been in several online "Christian" forums before, and all but one turned into a nest of snakes, so to speak.
I'm a KJV only woman, and have fought many spiritual battles with so MANY people who heartily disagree with KJV only people.
I came here for a variety of reasons, one, is to rest from the battle, strengthen myself, get closer to Jesus, and get armed and skilled in using my weapons of spiritual warfare. The battle never ends, and the battle is IN the churches now.
I can't find a decent KJV preacher in my city, which has about a million people in it! The preachers whom I've talked to, personally, are either homosexual, or think the bible is a book of fairy tales, or they don't believe in the infallibility of the bible, but think it's still a "good book". The booklets used in adult Sunday School are just as disappointing. IF they use KJV, they always put one of those ungodly translations right next to it, thus showing their approval of the hellish versions so widely used now.
So, here I am, and I hope to meet all of you. I also hope to add something of substance to conversations in here.:)

Welcome Biblereader. this site is real good if your looking for edification. browse through the forum threads and see what will help you.

we may get a little testy with each other but we are brothers in the Lord and try to keep it to an edifying level if possible.

enjoy and God bless

Welcome, BibleReader! :yo: Join in the fray. Gird your loins.

:welcome: Sister

May you be edified and blessed by these forums and the Bible believing individuals who make it what it is.

:grouphug:

Thank you, Chette777! Edification is a great way to build the strength back up.

LOL! Noted, and girded!:fencing:

The ONLY thing I don't like about this forum, is, having that delay, to post.
Does that go on, no matter how long you've been in here?

BR, welcome to the forum, and always remember that there is a remnant that has not bowed the knee to Baal, the NCC, the mercenary "version" publishers. It's all about money and the love thereof.

We do here, by and large, self-police ourselves, and the best way for me to not be rebuked is not to say anything that will cause it. We have a lot of ladies in this forum This forum is a church in a way, so be a part and join in, comment, ask questions. There are few open forums like this one.

Grace and peace sister:)

Welcome Sis!

I have yet to see any down-and-out fights going on here yet. I think the most serious fights happen between KJV believers and the mishmash of other Bibles that people insist upon. Since this forms the base for our Forum (ohhh can I call it "OUR" yet? - I'm new!!), I've seen much togetherness and support here!

I believe you'll be blessed here!

Jassy

Welcome, biblereader! I am also new here (just a few days) and also a sister. This forum is different from any other I've found. This is what I have been looking for online. My husband and myself have neglected the command to fellowship with other believers because we have never been able to find a church that doesn't hold to serious error. We gave up a long time ago, which isn't right, but this board has already begun to get me headed in the right direction again, I believe. Only my first post was "postponed" for special moderation, at which I was a little chagrined, but since my first post that was lifted. I can see the value in that approach now seeing how this site attracts people who have the entire rest of the internet to bash the KJVO position but who feel they need to do it here!

Greet you in Christ. I love to be here in this forum and I know you will love it too.

From the Philippines,

Welcome biblereader,I hope you find fellowship and church here.I can understand your frustration in your christian walk,my church in NZ allows women to preach at times and some of the men when preaching use the Message and one actually has a version that is black and in gold it says Message Bible,all of our other preachers are NIVers as is our Pastor and Elders.:tsk:
Our church is the best on offer in town.

Mrs Hayseed:D

Sister its sounds like your Church is entrenched in ecumenism, I was involved in a Church very similar and after a guest speaker from the states read 2 verses from the niv and 2 pages of Cs lewis, while blatantly flashing the devils cornet sign about 20 times during his "sermon" I spent the entire sermon praying. That was the last time I set foot in that Church, I got outside, dusted my shoes off and never went back.
The message is one of the most ungodly translations that has ever reared its ugly head and I pray you find another Church sister, or start a meeting in your own home, solid Bible believing meetings.

Never settle for the best on offer, as a bible believing Christian it becomes impossible to fellowship properly in such a Church, you will never be content or at peace in such a place so why not consider holding your own meetings with fellow Bible believers in your homes.?

God Bless

1 Corinthians 1:10 Now I beseech you, brethren, by the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that ye all speak the same thing, and that there be no divisions among you; but that ye be perfectly joined together in the same mind and in the same judgment.

Welcome.

The doctrines of men are embedded in many places.

Being sober and fully enriched with the Word of God will keep us from the unclean thing.

PeopleOf TheWay..I just don't know what to do to tell you the truth.Iam married to Mr Hayseed and he is weaker in the Word than me and I'm not being sarcastic in any way,it is just a gentle truth Iam saying.
I would never leave the Chapel he chose for us to fellowship in like some of the ladies have done and leave their husbands to be alone in the Chapel I attend,without their wives.These women left for charismatic goofy reasons not wise biblical discernment.

Until my husband says,"that's it!" I feel I should just stay.I don't believe it is right to for me personally to find another church without my husband.

Mrs Hayseed

Mrs. Hayseed,

Sister, if you don't feel you can leave the church, because you under the headship of your husband, can you perhaps start a small assembly of women in your home? Perhaps for Bible study or Bible readings or simply for prayer. You might reach some other women in your church who are just staying in the church for the same reasons that you are.

One important thing: the first consideration is TRUTH. Are you receiving it at your church? If not, then church in the home sounds like a better option. That's what I have done. There are no KJVO people here that I know of. None of the churches here uplift the AV. They all use primarily the NIV - and sometimes they slide into (even worse!) The Message. It seems that they call forth whatever Bible translation best supports THEIR view and THEIR sermon. They just "mix and match."

My ex-fiance (who was a wonderful Christian until he got mixed up with the Freemasons) told me that I knew more than the minister at his Baptist church. He said that it was appalling to him how unknowledgeable ministers are. They are just dreaming up a topic, and then using a subject index in a few corrupt Bible versions to back-up what they plan to teach.

I'll pray for you and your situation, my sister.

Jassy

Welcome to the forum biblereader!! I am quite new here and I have enjoyed learning the scriptures from many friends here.

BR, you are in a wonderful place. The feedback I have received has been a bit harsh at times. But, if you review some of the threads I've started, you'll see why. With some of the people these guys get coming in just to start arguements...it's totally understandable. But, you will find that these guys LOVE God's Word and LOVE each other and you. They will answer honest questions from their knowledge of the Word. It's great! I've learned a whole lot since being here...you will too!

Thank you for the warm welcome. It truly means a lot to me. Yes,ther are scarcely any KJV truth forums left. The remnant is truly a remnant.

Thanks for your kind welcome, buzz. I see we both have the same type of avatar! LOL!

Sounds like a good group. I'm glad I found this. Well, I'm glad the Lord led me here.

I have women friends from our Chapel but they believe women should be allowed to preach and so they left our Chapel and have gone to a church that supports their views.They all are all NIVers and into Healings,tongues,getting slain in the spirit,but I have remained friends with them because we are good gal pals and they have given up on me trying to get me to agree with them and we all just accept each other the way we are.

As for a Woman's Home Group,they all go to one already and I left that because there was no accountability to the Eldership of what was being taught.For instance it is NIV(the Elders would have no problem with that) and the leader of the group teaches that RC's and Seventh Day Adventists are saved because they believe in the Trinity.The woman running this bible study has no Elder's wife in her group,there is just no accountability at all.I stopped attending.

Until my husband decides we should look for a church out of town ( because unbelievably our church is the best on offer in our town) I'll just continue as Iam.Although it is getting increasingly hard.

Iam amazed your ex-fiance got mixed up with the FreeMason's with his knowelegable background.

Thankyou for prayers.

Mrs Hayseed

My husband and myself have neglected the command to fellowship with other believers because we have never been able to find a church that doesn't hold to serious error.

Hey, greenbear, I am in the same predicament as you. (except my husband does not see the need to go to church, or read the bible) The churches around where I live, so far, ALL are holding on to serious errors, and see NO need to change! Scary!
Maybe we can form a Sunday church here, in the KJV forum.
Is there one in here, already?

Hi,
...Welcome!

I'm new here too, and have loved my time here so far. I have also come here to fellowship with like minded brothers and sisters and rest from the battle.

We had a wonderful KJ only church in TN, godly Bible believing pastor and congregation. We moved across the country almost 2 yrs ago and have not found a church where we are yet. Email me anytime. :)

God bless you sis. Again, welcome! :D

Mrs Hayseed, I understand more now why you're in the situation that you are. It's becoming nearly impossible to find a KJVO church now. I'm so very thankful that we have this forum and, as biblereader said - "The remnant is truly a remnant." Sometimes it is so difficult to stand firm when there's an onslaught all around you! But the LORD is with us and we have been promised His strength to overcome.

We love you here!! I've only been here a few days, and I feel the love of all the brethren here very strongly.

Jassy

"We love you here!! I've only been here a few days, and I feel the love of all the brethren here very strongly.

Jassy"

Amen!!!

And biblereader, George's posts about Calvinism are really long but I've finally read some and they are also really, really good. :)
Some on this board have recommended IFB churches. It looks like there are IFB churches in Jacksonville, Orlando and Miami. Perhaps you live in one of those three areas? http://www.ifbweb.com/index.php?opti...=117&Itemid=48

Around here the only KJV readers in their church are seventh day adventists!:D

I think it will be increasingly hard to find a Church that is suitable.

But,anywy at least we have this site to touch base with huh?:p

Mrs Hayseed

PS No sorry,I tell a lie there is a Grace Bible Church in the next town that is KJV only but they have about twelve members because they are so strict about ladies wearing dresses 24/7 and they intrude into your life by guilting people to take on projects that require a real committment.If you can't do it you are told to find another job that will free you up.It dosen't matter even if you milk cows,get another job.

That sounds awful! Godly churches are getting scarce. Jesus said it would be like this, though. He asked if He would find faith on the earth!

Wow, that sounds like a cult. Almost. There is something to being un worldly, though.

Define IFB.

So many real Christians, in here. It's nice. I get tired of finding out that a person is just a poser, a fake. It's relaxing to log in, here.

It is so good to hear people say the NIV is wrong, and bad, and to FINALLY hear people say CS Lewis is bad. What do you think about the Chronicles of Narnia? That's a mess! Unbelievable how many people think that's Christian.
And, what REALLY amazes me, is, how many so called Christians have NO problem with the damnable Harry Potter books and movies!
Where is the discernment? Where is the rebuking, and reproof?

IFB= Independent Fundamental Baptist. They seem to be a loose affiliation of independent churches as opposed to a denomination. Anyone please feel to correct me or elaborate. Here is what IFB churches believe according to their website: http://www.ifbweb.com/index.php?opti...d=12&Itemid=26

WE BELIEVE

That the Bible is inspired (God-breathed), inerrant, and ALL of it is profitable for doctrine, reproof, correction, and instruction in righteousness.

Further, that the King James AV1611 version, translated from the Majority Text (also known as the Textus Receptus and sometimes referred to as the Byzantine text), is God's Word preserved in English.

That the earth and the heavens were created in six literal 24 hour days; upon this, the foundation of the Bible rests, for if this is incorrect, then ALL scripture is suspect.

That Jesus Christ is the Son of God, born of the virgin Mary, died on the Cross, and rose again 3 days later; God in the flesh, who sacrificed Himself that we may know the Gift of Eternal Life.

That the Father, the Son, and the Holy Ghost are the Trinity; three persons in one, each distinct from the others, while also the same.

That all we must do in order to receive this free gift is call upon His name, for Jesus Christ is the Way, the Truth, and the Life; that whosever (meaning you and I) calleth upon His name shall not die, but have everlasting life.

This is how simple it is:

Romans 3:23 For all have sinned and come short of the glory of God.

Romans 5:8 But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.

Romans 6:23 For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.

Romans 10:9-10 That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.

There are those that believe you can say a prayer, and bingo, you're saved! That's not true; it gives a false impression that saying the prayer is what saves you. What saves you is Christ, and only Christ. Do you need to pray? OH, YEAH! That's part of Romans 10:9 - confessing with the mouth. But praying a special prayer or mantra will not help you receive Christ. Only your decision to accept Jesus as your savior (turn to God) will save you.

It was preached by John the Baptist and Jesus Himself that we must repent (turn away from our sinful lives). Because of that, some folks preach that we must repent and then accept; however, this order is wrong. Repentence will not save us; it is belief that saves us, and God works repentence in us the moment we truly believe and are saved. True repentence is a desire of the heart to turn away from our old lives, and to turn to God and work to please Him. Just as a child will say, "Daddy, look what I did" in order to please us and seek approval, we who have been saved earnestly desire to seek His approval. Ephesians 2:10

Trust Christ. Turn to God. Accept Jesus as your savior. Turn away from sin.

Confess to everyone that you've accepted Jesus, not in words or deeds, but truly accepted Him.

If you've trusted in Christ as your saviour, then I'm happy and excited for you. Please feel free to e-mail us and let us know of your decision!

BUT, it doesn't stop there. Now that you're a new creature in Christ, there are some ways to help you grow spiritually.

1. SHARE with others the commitment you've made. Acts 1:8

2. Be baptized. Baptism acts as a public profession of your decision, is an act of obedience, and identifies you with Christ, . Matthew 28:19, Acts 8:35-40, Romans 6:3-5

3. Study the Bible. The Bible will reveal God's plan for your life, and give you guidance, strength, and solace when you need it. It is the "guidebook" for every Christian. 2 Timothy 2:15

4. Attend church regularly. As a person who experimented with several different religions, I recommend you find a church that touts itself as "fundamental". These are the few churches that teach exactly what the Bible says, and not what someone wants it to say. Participate in worship services and Christian fellowship.
YOU HAVE AN EXCITING JOURNEY AHEAD OF YOU AS YOU CONTINUE TO GROW IN CHRIST. ALWAYS REMEMBER THAT WE'LL BE HERE FOR YOU IF YOU NEED. GOD BLESS!

Sister, I understand what you are saying but the difference in some of the books you name here is that if a person claims a given work is "Christian" and it's not, it needs to be dealt with. Potter, Tolkien, and other works must be recognized as just the works of men. What I see as damaging is this "separatist" doctrine many Christians have in that they first draw off so far from the world that they appear and act as if they are aliens from a UFO. The only time they venture out is to complain about some book or movie the world has made. When I was a child I remember preachers going on and on and on and on about how "evil" The Flinstones, Warner Bro. Cartoons, and Quick Draw McGraw was. As I've tried to advise Luke and Chris, we need to find a center in ourselves and recognize we are flesh and a Spirit, that do not have any mutual interaction with each other. We need to venture out of our monasteries and carry out our commission for today, the real "great" commission in that we are ministers of the reconciliation to wit, God was in Christ reconciling the world unto Himself and be ambassadors for Christ, beginning with our next door neighbor.

We need to not worry about what the world is doing now but tell humanity what Jesus Christ has already done.

The height of the street ministry I was involved in was in 1987-89. One night we had a group of Pentecostals come out, gather in a circle, whoop and blab gibberish, then they went to their cars and left. I stopped one woman what she was doing. She said they just "named and claimed" the Street "for Jesus". I said, then what are we doing here still? Blank stare. I asked her to stand still for 60 seconds. When she did, I pointed to 7 bars and 3 adult books stores and asked her, if it's named and claimed, why are they still open and people still going in and out? Blank stare. She left without a word.

No one wants to go where Christ is not named and preach the gospel of His grace. But they will complain about Madonna.

Another night I walked up the street to a place called NEON MOVIES. They were playing The Last Temptation Of Christ. The Complainers were outside with their signs and guitars and I didn't see a Bible or tract among them. I stood in the gutter till they finished singing with this huge KJV in my hand. One guy asked me if I wanted to join in the protest and come put my Bible over on the table with the guitar cases. I merely said that when they are done with this foolishness, come justify the Blood shed for them and come up the street and do some real work.

One young man followed me back. The rest stood, blank stares.

I am not a nice person.

His name was Mark, he was a United Methodist, and he saw us witnessing and he got his noodle cooked that night. He went nuts. I thought he was gonna climb on a trashcan and start preaching. I never saw a child on a sugar-high get that manic. I rarely saw a Christian witness for Jesus Christ that fevently either. He parked himself in front of a bar and tracted everyone going in. I walked across the street and looked inside, the floor was carpeted with our tracts. He and I went in, picked them all up, and gave them out again. His words will not return unto Him void.

That was the night they called the cops on us(again). I told the cop to hit the road, First Ammendment, go catch a crook.

I am not a nice person.

Sister, I understand your feelings. Don't be concerned about what JK Rowling(Potter) writes. be concerned with what God has already wrote.
We're not theater and book critics, we're ambassadors for Christ.

The deadliest weapon in the world is not a Marine and his rifle, the deadliest weapon in the world is a Christian with a Bible.

Grace and peace sister

Tony

Wonderfully powerful words, Tony!! AMEN brother!

:welcome: Bible Reader:) As you can see and read from the many Welcome! This is trully one of the most KJB Bible believing Forums around...its members are sincere,honest, KJB believers. If you haven't looked around yet, please go into the Bible Studies/Doctrine sections...and try to read the 'sticky's". There is a wealth of studies over there :amen:
I look forward to reading your posts and getting to fellowship with you. :wave:

Oh, you LIKE all that, eh, Jassy?

I look forward to reading your posts, too, and to getting to know the members in here.
HOW, btw, do I look up various other people's posts?

Well then, brother bones, you would appreciate me, as I go EVERY day, almost, and pass out tracts.
Some CHRISTIANS, I'm saying, not lost people, some who claim to be Christians, should stop supporting the likes of Hollywood, ungodly authors,
sinful playthings, et al.
I don't come to lost people and tell them they are on the way to Hell, no, Tony. I do tell Christians to repent, to get OUT of the world, before it's too late! What comes to mind is the parable of the wise and foolish virgins.
All were virgins, all had lamps, all were waiting for the bridegroom.
Only half of them got into heaven, though. The rest were left outside, to burn in torments forever.
Please don't judge me before you know me, fully. I think you and I have a lot in common. I also understand what YOU are saying, and believe me, it's frustrating to show the love of Jesus while devilish pentecostals are gibber jabbering, and either scaring lost people, or making them laugh.
The lost have got to be dealt with kindly, and with love.
I agree.
The Christians, though, who promote worldly filth, need to be called out front and center, and told what Jesus says about loving the world. The love of the Father is not in them, if they love the world, and promote the ungodly witchcraft and doctrines of demons that are flooding the church today.

I feel compelled to post the parable:

1: Then shall the kingdom of heaven be likened unto ten virgins, which took their lamps, and went forth to meet the bridegroom.
2: And five of them were wise, and five were foolish.
3: They that were foolish took their lamps, and took no oil with them:
4: But the wise took oil in their vessels with their lamps.
5: While the bridegroom tarried, they all slumbered and slept.
6: And at midnight there was a cry made, Behold, the bridegroom cometh; go ye out to meet him.
7: Then all those virgins arose, and trimmed their lamps.
8: And the foolish said unto the wise, Give us of your oil; for our lamps are gone out.
9: But the wise answered, saying, Not so; lest there be not enough for us and you: but go ye rather to them that sell, and buy for yourselves.
10: And while they went to buy, the bridegroom came; and they that were ready went in with him to the marriage: and the door was shut.
11: Afterward came also the other virgins, saying, Lord, Lord, open to us.
12: But he answered and said, Verily I say unto you, I know you not.
13: Watch therefore, for ye know neither the day nor the hour wherein the Son of man cometh.

Notice the wise virgins did NOT, I repeat, did NOT share their oil with the foolish virgins.

You, reader, as you read this post, which are you? Wise, or foolish? Are you absolutely sure you're ready for the bridegroom?
Jesus is coming back, soon, and ONLY for his own. He will reject the foolish, and take in the wise.
