I like most NIV and CUV, KJV is good also

What I believe in the Bible. The Bible is the word of God, in many languages, there is no mistake in the original text, but there is a human error in translation, but the message is intact, the original meaning is intact, and the truth is in the Bible.

KJV, CUV is good Bible, but NIV easier to understand.

I will any Bible on my desk, no matter what version.

Tired of explaining with this haft hearted and hard headed theologian, because they are holier than me.

I am not holier than you person, but I will live holier every day.

May God lead me.

Thank God, I had to change my blog address because the theologians are attacking me these weeks.

Thanks for reading.

Please focus on India and Indians on your world map.
Pray for them..

2 Corinthians and the VPP

The Corinthian church inner struggles worsen, so Paul wrote another letter to them. The second epistle of Corinthians.

1:5, "For just as the suffering of Christ flow over into your lives, so also through Christ our comfort overflows.


1:8, ...Paul nearly killed in Asia.


1:18, ...God is faithful, and Paul's message to the Corinthians is not "yes" and "no." Let see what Paul's theology and doctrines.

An appeal to the theologians to justified by faith, not by work, and to see the truth from 2 Corinthians, stand in Paul's shoe.

1:12, not to depend merely on the wisdom of man.

1:22, Paul mentioned the Holy Spirit in his heart.

2:4, He said he loved the Corinthians.

2:7, He wanted them to forgive.

2:11, beware of the devil.

2:17, there were people who made use of the truth, making the truth void.

3:1, Paul said that the Gospel is based on the Holy Spirit, not just obeying the OT law, The Holy Spirit gave life to the death. Legalistic?

3:15, Paul said the Israelites cannot see that the Moses' Law was temporary. When they read the Old Testament, the Hebrew Bible, the Masoretic, or the Septuagint, they cannot know who is Jesus Christ.

4:2, Paul, again said there were false teachers, taught wrongly.

4:5, Christ Jesus is the main point of the message. Not like those messages created by some, their main point is V....P....P, VPP, VPP.

4:7, To Paul, the previous message is the Gospel, the Gospel, again, is the Gospel.

4:10, because Paul was living for the Gospel, he was willing dying also for the Gospel.

4:18, those things which Paul saw, he said those things were only temporary.

5:5, The Holy Spirit was working in the believers, so the Gospel was changing them, the power of resurrection is renewing them, so they were growing every day.

5:10, the believer must be held responsible for the life they lived on earth. Watch out.

5:13, Someone said Paul was out of his mind?

5:19, Paul said he was working as an agent of reconciliation.

6:4, proving him as a servant of God.

6:7, in truthful speech.

6:11, so he can say his heart is opened wide.

7:5, Paul mentioned in Macedonia, he had no rest, conflict outside, and fears within.

7:8, there was a letter (Epistle?) written by Paul, it was lost. Not preserved anyhow? Not to jot and title? No, one knows that letter?

7:12, HERE HE MENTIONED THAT LETTER AGAIN, EVEN THOUGH IT WAS LOST, PAUL MENTIONED THE MESSAGE IN THAT LETTER. THE PURPOSE OF THE LETTER. DID YOU SEE THAT LETTER, ANYWHERE? WHY GOD DID NOT preserve THAT LETTER, IS IT NOT INSPIRED? LET THE THEOLOGIAN GO AND DO THE DIGGING.

8:2, Paul then turn his focus here to the offering, what you offered, you offered to God, and also for the growth of the fellowship in Christ. The Church in Macedonia, was mentioned here because of their kindness toward other churches in Christ, were they attacking other churches?

8:9, Here again, Paul mentioned the sacrifice of our Lord.

8:15, here Paul quoted the OT, Exodus 16:18, see how he quoted the passage, the meaning is there. Was he quoted word by word here?

9:11, Paul said that they were made rich in every way so that they can be generous on every occasion. Why the theologian goes and sue his brothers because of money and property. Is this the way they practiced Christianity in Macedonia and Corinth?

9:15, Thanking God for His indescribable gift!

10:3, Paul here mentioned the weapon he used.

10;5, the war against the false teachers and their false messages. not much about jot and title.

10:14, Paul mentioned the truth as far as the Gospel!

11:3, the snake was mentioned, it was not good, why the theologians and his doctors play with the snakes and put the picture of the snakes in their website, why not put a cross? Are they the Indian snake charmer?

11:4, Paul mentioned, Christ, Spirit, Gospel. These are important doctrines. how dare you twisted this truth and attack those who uphold these doctrines. Are you at the Lord's side of the other side?

11:13, beware of those who had taught wrongly about these doctrines, they are the false apostles, masquerading.

11:14, do not become like an angel of light.

11:22, Paul here mentioned he is a Jew.

11:25, but here he also mentioned that he met some of the false brothers.

11:31, Paul was not lying.

11:33, he was escaping from the enemies through an opened wide window.

12:4, later Paul mentioned he heard the inexpressible things, not permitted to tell? Why he kept those inexpressible things away that from us. Why they were not permitted to tell? Why not preserved in the Bible for us, but Paul said it was better not to tell us.

12:13, lastly, He begs for their pardon?

12:19, everything Paul has done is for their strengthening.

12:20, Paul wanted them not to quarrel, to become jealousy, the outburst of anger, faction (division), slander, gossip, arrogance, and disorder...and to be repented of the impurity, sexual sin, and debauchery.

13:8, we can not do anything against the truth.

13;11, listen to Paul's appeal, be of one mind, live in peace.





Questions:

One of Paul's letter was not preserved and lost?

What is the main point of the Gospel?

Christ is mentioned with Spirit and Gospel, why Paul put them together in 11;4, how important are they in Christianity? Write a paper not shorter than 100 pages.

What did Paul appeal from the Corinthians at the end of 2 Corinthians?
Write a paper not shorter than 150 pages.

thanks for reading...

The Computer

Hoping, by writing something about computer, reminding all the theologian and the students, that we only know a little bit about a computer. Here are some basic lessons about a computer.

At least, we know how to DIY, to assemble a computer, know how to repair some hardware problems and know how to repair some software problems.

Basically,

1. know how to low level format the hard disk, not just simply format.
2. know how to flash the bios.
3. check the Master Boot Record.
4. check the Partition Boot Record.
5. check Bootmgr.exe, Winload.exe,
6. Do Initialization of Kernel.
7. Install OS.
8. Logging in.
9. Booting Vista, Ubuntu, XP….
10. Know about the function of Antivirus, Firewall, Internet Network, Security Problems, wifi, wwan, WLAN, security. Lastly….
15. make a web page and Publish websites.

There are a lot of things to learn in college, these skills will be useful when we are searching and browsing on the internet. There are a lot of cookies that trace your internet visiting, spyware, viruses, trojans in the websites. So be careful, not just click on any button on the webpage or visit any website. Hacker can take over your computer at the background without your knowledge. Some will send email to you with virus and worms attached, bugs, and also a little program like macro attached in ordinary documents and power point ile. Do not open any email without knowing this. Hacker or man in the between will intercept your internet, phone calls, wireless broadband. Or someone put a hotpot there to trap you. And they will hack into your computer when you are online.

And some people will but program into your handphone, through the Bluetooth, and they will use your hand phone to be a spying device and listening to your conversation. They even can control your hand phone through Bluetooth and wirelessly. And they will made phone call through your hand phone. All these are nonsense? Just forget these?

We must learn to become an Intelligent Agent to fight the terrorist since the terrorists are smart people too.

Remember!

I will not visit those websites which have the VPP trojans,
I will not visit those websites which have the VPP virus,

Anymore…

The Christian Lawsuit

The Lord said, if anyone hit you at the cheek, let him hit the other cheek. (Matthew 5:39) (Luke 6:29)

If people want you to go for one mile you go for 2 miles. (Matthew 5:41)

And Paul adviced the Corinthians to be cheated and wronged, (1 Corinthian 6:7),

even if a Christian is going to take your landmark away, or removing your landmark, read the Old Testament (Deut 19:14). Paul said so to the Corinthians. Be prepared.

Rather be cheated, be wronged, after we believed in Christ. The Old has passed, renewing yourself in the Lord, and His Spirit.

Paul said why, "Do you know that the wicked will not inherit the kingdom of God. (1 Corinthians 6:9)

Paul also said that the work of the flesh are evident, "....dissensions...factions...(Galatians 5:21)

Let the church settles the problem in the church, not in civil court.

Say again?

Not in the civil court, let them remove the landmark and you outer cloth too.

F-22

F-22, is an advance, 21St century reformed fighter jet. Made by US LLockheedMartin

Supposed one day 3 F-22, were ordered to fly a mission into Iraq to bombard the enemy target, 3 F-22 were together at the beginning flying from Changi Airport, in the middle of the flight to the enemy territory, one of the pilots, makes a U-turn, and he ignores the command order, and he flies the F-22 to Hawaii, and then the second F-22, also makes a sudden U-turn when they reached the Indian Ocean, and the pilot flies the F-22 down to the south pole, and the last flies the F-22, into Iraq, and it destroyed the enemy stronghold.

The first pilot was perfectly unhurt, and the F-22 was perfectly preserved, and perfectly intact, full packed with weapons and missiles, landed at the air port in Hawaii.

The second pilot was also perfectly unhurt, and the F-22 was perfectly preserved, like new, and full packed with all kinds of weapon, and rockets, landed at the air field in Alaska.

The third pilot was injured, and the wings F-22 was damaged during the mission. This F-22 has to pull into the hanger for repairs.

Which pilot do you think, will get a medal from the General at last? The first pilot, , the second pilot or the third pilot?

Answer is?

Do you think the general will be proud of the "perfectly preserved" F-22 in Hawaii and Alaska?
And give them a medal?

What do you get with your perfect TR?

1 Corinthian and VPP

1 Corinthians 1:10 "I appeal to you, brothers, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that all of you agree with one another so that there may be no divisions among you and that you may be perfectly united in mind and thought.

To solve the inner church problems Paul wrote the epistle, seeing the church will be dividing, there was the danger of divisions. Paul called them brothers, no matter who are the leaders of the divisions, we are all brothers. We are like hands and legs.

1 Corinthians 1:13 "Is Christ divided ?"

PAUL'S CALLING IS TO PREACH THE GOSPEL., time after times, he mentioned THE MESSAGE of the Gospel IS IMPORTANT THAN ANYTHING ELSE, SECONDLY UNDERSTAND THE MESSAGE IS ANOTHER PRIME IMPORTANT.

1:17, Christ did not send Paul to baptize, but to preach the gospel-not with the words of human wisdom, lest the cross of Christ is emptied of its power.

THERE ARE PEOPLE living for DEBATES, LONG DEBATE, DEBATE WITH WORDS. AND PAUL ASKED where are they? MERE DEBATE IS USELESS, THE GOSPEL MESSAGE IS MORE IMPORTANT than VPP DEBATES.

1:20, "..Where is the scholar...?"

MERE WISDOM IS USELESS.

1:22, "Greeks look for wisdom.."

THE MAIN POINT OF THE MESSAGE IS ABOUT THE LORD JESUS CHRIST AND HIS CRUCIFIXION.

2:2, "Paul resolved to know nothing while he was with the Corinthian except Jesus Christ and he crucified."

EVEN THOUGH THE CORINTHIAN HAS RECEIVED THE HOLY SPIRIT, THEY DID NOT LIVE IN SPIRIT, SO PAUL SAID THEY ARE "CARNAL, BABE IN CHRIST.

3:1, "Paul could not address the Corinthians as spiritual but as worldly-mere infants in Christ."

WHY PAUL SAID LIKE THAT? SOME OF THEM LIKE TO DO GROUPING OR DIVISION. THEY DO NOT UNITE IN A BIG FAMILY. THIS IS CARNAL. THEY DO NOT HAVE THE HEART OF CHRIST.

3:2, "there was jealousy and quarreling among them.

SOME WILL SAY, I follow Paul, MAYBE PAUL USED the Septuagint?

OTHER WIL SAY, I follow Apollos, MAY BE APOLOS USED the Hebrew OT, MESORATIC TEXTS?

PEOPLE IN THE WORLD DO THAT.

3:4, Are they not mere men?

PAUL SAID THAT THE CHURCH ONLY FOUNDATION IS CHRIST JESUS. NOT PETER OR PAUL.

3:11, "the foundation is Jesus Christ."

HERE PAUL WARNED THEM NOT TO WORSHIP MAN WHEN WE WORSHIP MAN, THEN THE CHURCH WILL SPLIT AND DIVIDED. MAN ARE ALL SIMPLY SERVANT OF GOD, THEY WERE GIVEN TO THE CHURCH, THEY SHOULD NOT BECOME OUR IDOL. LEADERS ARE ONE OF THE MAIN FACTORS THE CHURCH SPLIT. BOASTING IS WRONG.

3:21, "no more boasting about men, all things are yours."

SERVANTS ARE JUST HUMAN, THEY ARE SERVANTS OF GOD, WE CANNOT ADD ANYTHING TO THE FOUNDATION.

4:6, "do not go beyond what is written."

PAUL SAID HE BECAME THEIR FATHER THROUGH THE GOSPEL, HE IS NOT JUST 'TEACHER', BUT MORE THAN A TEACHER.

4:15, "Paul became their father through the gospel."

PAUL WANTED THEM NOT TO ASSOCIATE WITH THOSE BELIEVERS WHO ARE LIVING IN SIN LIKE SEXUALLY IMMORAL, GREEDY, IDOL WORSHIPPER, SLANDERER, DRUNKARD, SWINDLER...

5:11, "But now I am writing you that you must not associate with a sexually immoral,...slanderer.."

PAUL MENTIONED HERE, SOMETHING ABOUT THE LAWSUITS BETWEEN THE CHRISTIAN BROTHERS, STOP GOING TO COURT. THESE ARE MOSTLY QUARREL REGARDING WHAT? MONEY, PROPERTIES, PERSONAL RELATIONSHIP, PAUL ADVICE THEM BETTER TO BE CHEATED AND WRONGED, NOTHING TO DO WITH CRIME, SO CHRISTIANS CANNOT GO TO COURT. IT IS NOT CRIMINAL.

WHATEVER IT IS THE PROBLEM, WE SHOULD ASK, DOES IT affect LIFE OR DEATH? IF IT IS THEN IS IMPORTANT TO SOLVE IT IMMEDIATELY.



6:1, "If any of you has a dispute with another, dare he take it before the ungodly for judgment instead of before the saints."

IT IS BETTER TO BE SETTLED THOSE THINGS IN THE CHURCH.

CHRISTIANS SUEING CHRISTIANS, WHY, BECAUSE WE HAVE SPIRITUAL PROBLEMS, LIKE GREED, SELFISHNESS, HATE, NOT FORBEARING, DEFEATED BY THE DEVIL. HOPEFULLY NO QUARREL AMONG US.

6:7-8, ...you have lawsuits among you, mean you have been completely defeated already.....be cheated, rather be wrong...and you do this to your brothers."

WE CANNOT BECOME IMMORAL

6:12, "not everything is beneficial.."

THE LORD IS COMING SOON, THE PROSPECTIVE OF HAPPINESS IS FOREVER, NOT JUST HAPPY ABOUT THE TEMPORAL THINGS.

7:30, "mourning LIKE happINESS...."

PAUL advised US TO CONCENTRATED IN SERVING THE LORD. THERE is FREEDOM IN THE CHURCH.

7:35, "undivided devotion to the Lord."

THERE IS FAITH WHICH CAN MOVE A MOUNTIAN, BUT HERE PAUL WANT THEM TO BUILD UP THE CHURCH IN LOVE.

8:1, "Love build up."

BEWARE OF THIS FREEDOM, NOT TO PUT STUMBLING BLOCK TO THE WEAK.

8:9, "exercise of your freedom does not become a stumbling block to the weak."

DESPISE THE WEAK IS A SIN AGAINST THE LORD. PLEASE LOOK AFTER THE WEAK IN THE CHURCH.

8:12, weak brother, is destroyed by your knowledge."

THIS IS ANOTHER PRINCIPLE OF CHRISTIAN FELLOWSHIP

9;23, "Paul do all this for the sake of the gospel, that I may share in its blessings."

ISRAELITES WERE GRUMBLING IN THE WILDERNESS, FIRE WAS SENT TO DESTROY THEM.

10:10, "do not grumble.."

NOT EVERYTHING. BUT DO THOSE WHICH ARE BENEFICIAL.

10:23, "everything is permissible" but not everything is beneficial.

LOOKING FOR THE GOOD OF OTHERS. NOT ONLY YOURSELF

10:24, "for the good of others...."

THEY ARE ONE IN CHRIST. JEW OR GREEKS AND THE CHURCH ARE ONE.

10:32, "Do not cause anyone to stumble, Jew and Greek or the church."

WE ARE CALLED TO HOLD ON FAITHFULLY TO THE TEACHING.

11:2, "holding to the teaching..."

LASTLY, PAUL REMINDED AGAIN, NOT TO DIVIDE, BUT TO UNITE.

11:17-19, there are divisions among Corinthians, there have to be differences among you,...do you despise and humiliate those who have nothing..... Shall I praise you for this. Certainly not"

THE MEANING OF WHAT A PERSON SAID IS VERY IMPORTANT, WHETHER HE IS GLORYING GOD OR OTHERWISE? DISCERNMENT NEEDED NOW.

12:3, no one can say, "Jesus is Lord, except by the Holy Spirit."

THE CHURCH IS A COMPLETE BODY. LACK OF NOTHING. THE BODY IS WASH BY THE HOLY SPIRIT. BELIEVERS ARE ALL CHILDREN OF GOD.

12:13, "The Jew and Greeks are one body."

NO DIVISIONS WHAT SO EVER?

12:25, "There should be no division in the body."

ARE ALL THEOLOGIANS, TEACHERS?

12:29, "Are all teachers ?"

PAUL WAS SO HUMBLE TO SAID HE KNOW IN PART. EVEN THE INSPIRED WRITER OF THE HOLY SCRIPTURE, THE ORIGINAL TEXT WRITER, HE SAID HE KNOW IN PART, WHAT ABOUT US?

ONE DAY WHEN YOU SEE THE LORD FACE TO FACE, YOU WILL KNOW EVERYTHING.

13:9, "For we know in part and we prophesy in part.'

STOP TEACHING THAT VPP, TEACHING NOT THE DISPUTABLE THINGS, THE TEACHER MUST THINK ABOUT THE STUDENTS. EXPOSITION IS IMPORTANT, APPLICATION ALSO IMPORTANT, BUT EVERYTHING IN LOVE.

14:1, ...desire the gift of prophecy.."

WE MAY RECEIVE THE GIFT, BUT WE BETTER TAKE TURN, DO NOT RUSH, WAIT.

14:31, "For you, all can prophesy in turn.."

HOLD ON TO THE GOSPEL!

15:1, the Gospel, by this gospel you are saved, hold firmly to the word Paul preached to you.."

STOP SINNING, DO SOMETHING, WHAT?

15:34, ..."stop sinning.."

PAUL CONCLUDED HIS LETTER WITH THIS?

16:14, "Do everything in love..."


I am a weak brother, and an outsider, please help yourself, if miss quoted anything may God forgive, no division is better than divisions.


FINALLY,

this is the good offer, not to go to court,

2) the premises belong to the church.
3) VPP is only a personal view, give freedom in learning this or not to learn this.

4) not to attack verbally to those who do not accept vpp, and stop all the split, reunion.

5) the lecturers will abide in a mutual written agreement.

Praise the Lord.

Lord, help me in writing, forgive me, this article is only my personal view.

Testing of the spirit 6

One of the strong servant said like this to another weak servant, "You, listen,...since you are so poor, and your work is not effective, I am coming to take over your job, I am going to take over your house, and I am going to take over everything from you, and you better be prepared to be a beggar, begging rice and food on the street. "You know the rice now is not cheap." And he continued to say this, "See, my house is so big, I am so rich, and I have so many servants under me, I am successful." And the strong servant came to knock on the weak servant's head 3 times, "wake up, wake up, wake up" "You wicked servant! Stupid young man. Look, my money, see how much money I have. I helped many people, and you, you are wicked and poor. I will go to punish you, wait and see, I will call many people to disturb you and your family, since you did not know how to bow your head to me, I am going to buy you, and your belonging, I am going to buy everything belong to you, even your job, and your life, because you failed in your test, your spirit fail you, your spirit is weak...your end is coming, go away empty-handed..." These are some of the whispers, strong servants kept in their hearts, chanting these perfect words, days and nights. On a Sunday morning or Friday night, they will go into the temple of God and they say, "I am not like him...I am better.....I am reaching out with a perfect Bible, they will say....Thank God, Thank God, Thank God..." You get what I meant. You know so and so is not good...I am good, only my church is good, no other church is so so good as us.....You know what I heard, these are the words from the mouth who are preaching the VPP, a perfect Bible.

The Shu_nami

Here is another loose cannon for the VPP,

The story of a missionary here in South East Asia, this young missionary was involved in preaching to the unconverted in a MXslim country, under this secret ministry, there was secret underground conversion to Christianity.

One day, he started to tell his friends this story, around the end of the 90s, he was giving Christian literature to the MXslim stalls at a bus station, secretly, hopefully, the MXslim owners will pick up the literature and read the gospel message, he thought no harm to do that, he loved the MXslim more than his own blood. But he forgot to see the cover inside the Christian magazines, there was printed the address of church which published the literature....

When he was distributing the Christian magazines, he disgusted himself as a customer, buying things and sweets from the MXslim stalls, but before he left the stall, he will purposely put a small magazines on the stall, so he distributed more or less like 15 to 20 magazines for every visit to the bus station, every Mxslim stall which is selling food will get one Christian magazine. He will go there once a week. The first 2 weeks there was no problem at all, but the third and fourth week, when he started to distribute another round of magazines at the same bus station, in the middle of distribution, he found out there were some Mxslim women and men, watching him, from some higher places, he finds out that he was being watched, because the men and women just stand there and kept on watching him and the stall. So that he had to decide not to distribute to them anymore. The MXslim there thought the missionary was a foreigner because he was distributing magazines from Indonesia, Surabaya. Since then whenever he went to the station again, someone was watching and tailing him. He is living in a little bit of precaution.

Whether it was co-incident or it was well planned, not long after the magazines were distributed in that station, but the missionary himself felt the incident was connected with him. Few weeks after that, on the May 1998, a riot broke out in Indonesia, after the riots which took place in Solo, Medan, Jakarta, and Surabaya, Indonesians were shocked to know that many people were burnt to death in malls and shopping centers. The government, however, labeled them looters. Chinese homes were looted and burned, and many Chinese people were raped or killed.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jakarta_riots_of_May_1998

This is a big distress to the missionary, he did not expect those killing to happen like that in Indonesia, he was very sad, and he felt very guilty, because, he had distributed some Christian literature from Indonesia for the Mxslim a months or two before. He nearly lost his mind, to face the situation. He just keeps on observing. Secretly he prayed to God, he tried to forget what he did at that station, but he cannot, many nightmares and worries. He was worrying something will happen to his family. It did.

Not long after that he went to work in a mission field, he thought the past will fade away, life is never the same again, there were disturbances. When he went to the hospital, bank, office, every time, the online computer will suddenly break down when he was trying to pay bills in the Post Office, or Banks, the even private company also involved in sabotage him, everywhere, he was facing troubles. He silently noticed the difficulties in evangelizing to MXslim in his country. Many more things happened, things he cannot openly say on the internet, the higher authority, involving the religions, society, political party, gangsters. Life is very hard for him, and every phone number he made, websites visited, someone was recording those numbers and conversation, his bills were being noticed, sometimes he cannot receive his bills, letters, and his email will reach his friends after 2 weeks being sent, you see, this is terrible. The intelligence agency, thought he is an American spy because he was receiving calls from US friends and emails from FBI. The MXslim was very angry with him. They hired some Chinese young man to attack him, those who attack him were his own Chinese blood. His family member later became victims too. But his family members did not know why. Underground, the convert was secretly converted and Baptised. He was happy about the conversion. Life is hard!

On December 2000, few nights in a week, the mXslim came to attack the missionary at night, he made 10 to 20 calls to the police station for help, but the police did not turn up. That same month, on December 24, 2000, a series of explosions took place in Indonesia, which was part of a high-scale terrorist attack by the Al Qaeda and Jemaah Islamiyah terrorist networks. The attack involved a series of coordinated bombings of churches in Jakarta and eight other cities which killed 18 people and injured many others. Indonesian police say they found documents implicating Hambali in the bombings.

He sometimes lives in fears and trembling. Destress, and later felt sick, life is hard to evangelize those he loved. He was tired and burn out. "How long, oh God, to see your hands in this country, day and night, he prayed and prayed, nearly lost his normal life." And to become insane for the coverts, he will try to carry on...hold on a little longer. He prays for his own country, "please changed my country..saved all the tribes.."

Until, 26 December 2004, a massive earthquake and tsunami devastated parts of northern Sumatra, particularly Aceh. Indonesia is mainly Muslim but belief in black magic is widespread. Thank God, at last, God spoke through that event to the missionary, at last, the relieve, the assurance of the faith and belief was given, thank God, for justice, thank God for the answer of prayers. But the missionary was sick after thinking of, many more troubles and trials waiting for him. This is a missionary life, if you come to know him, please pray for him.

The missionary said, there is another, Shu_nami coming toward South East Asia. To wipe out the darkness on another part of the countries. This time it is bigger than ever, nearer and nearer, it is an invisible shun ami....The End is coming. There is hope for those who are living under bondage, under fear of the iron hands.

And then there was a secret agent from Chinese came to disturb him, he was nearly killed, but then the earthquake in Xi Chuan, he was comforted that revenge is from the Lord, the wicked will be punished.

Repent! The Kingdom of God is here.

One Christian leader said, "家和万事兴" cannot tell you the whole story, so far the mXslim has nothing to do with VPP...

The Book of Romans and VPP

All the scriptures are taken from the book of Romans, this is a personal view quoting the Romans to refute VPP.

"Paul, a servant of Jesus Christ, ....separated unto the gospel of God." (1:1) Separated even when he was still in the mother womb, to be the Apostle to the Gentile. "The Gospel" appeared in all his epistle, about 60 times, so he is separated for the Gospel message.

Paul said there were holy scriptures in his hands, he meant the Hebrew Bible. ".....holy scriptures." (1:2) Through out this epistle he never claims the perfection of his holy Hebrew scriptures, nor did he mention the preservation of the holy Hebrew scriptures. He did not spend the time to protect the perfect Hebrew Bible, but he carries on preaching the message, and he said he is the debtors to the Greek and barbarians. (1:14)

And the theme of his message is, taken from the scripture, It is written, "the just shall live by faith." (1:17) Where he quoted this verse from? Habbakuk 2:4, "Behold, his soul which is lifted up is not upright in him, but the just shall live by faith."

Take note,

We find out that even when Paul quoting the Old Testament, he did not translate literally into Greek, not word by word, there are differences in wordings. Why?

1) in NT time, no many Jew understand the Hebrew language, not many understand the Hebrew OT. Out of Palestine, Greek is the common language, the Bible they commonly used was the OT in Greek, Septuagint (LXX...), not the Masoretic Text. Different Bible versions, so they have different wordings.

2) So the Apostles seldom used the literal translation, but they used dynamic equivalent in translating the OT, they wrote mostly the meaning.

3) Sometimes, when they wanted to put more stress, he will add more words or subtract some word from the scripture, sometimes he will combine a few OT verses to bring out a point in NT.

For example:

Romans 3:10, "As it is written, There is none righteous, no, not one." He quoted this verse from Psalm 14:1, "............there is none that doeth good." Comparing these verses, 2 kinds of wordings, did you see the differences. How Paul did his translation. Not word by word, but the meaning is there.

Paul did not pursue any perfect Bible! He continues to explain the function and the meaning of the law in OT. He said no one will be declared righteous in his sight by observing the law, ...but we become conscious of sin. (3:20)

If there is a snake hidden in a hole, to force the snake out from the hiding place, we may use agent like a smoke, a smoke burn with sulfur, give the snake a strong smell, this will make the snake choked with the smell of the smoke and tears. This will then provoke the snake to come out of the hiding hole. The snake catcher will catch the snake then.

The Hebrew scripture is like a smoke, to provoke us to come out of sin. Not to continue hiding in the sin. Or not to living in sin. How perfect is the Hebrew Bible, Paul did not take much time to explain it, but he continues to stressed other important truths. The meaning is more important than the mere wordings. It is the case.

What then the advantage of the perfect law, what then the advantage of a Perfect Hebrew Bible? Did Paul pursue a Perfect OT Bible? Plea for a Perfect Word of God? No. No, No, even though Paul was a Hebrew scholar, he said, I know nothing, "Accept Jesus Christ crucified." (1 Cor 2:2) Why waste your time to plea for a perfect underlying Greek TR? What for?

Did Paul hold a perfect Hebrew Bible in his hand? And take an oath and swear for the preservation of the perfect Bible. He was a Hebrew scholar before he met Jesus Christ. Paul said, He is a Jew, which is one inwardly....in the spirit...and not in the letter...(2:29)

After he believed in Jesus Christ, he asked us, "Are we any better ?" (3:9) Paul is saying, "Is Jew better than the Greek and Gentiles ?" Is Hebrew better than Greek, better than Chinese? Paul answer is ?"All under sin." (3:10) "Do we had something to boast about ?" (4:2) Is a perfect Greek TR, suppose it is perfect, the underlying, or the Greek MSS better than a CUV? The answer is?

And then, should we boast that we have a perfect underlying text? Paul said, even though the law is good and perfect, but he said, there is something more important than the perfect law, the grace. Grace is better. You see, he did not boast about the perfect Hebrew Bible. To those Romans, he said plainly, "We are justified through faith" (5:1)

You see, the Believers has a perfect new relationship with God. More important than anythings else man can offer you. The wrath was carried away by the Lord, and now they are living in God's grace. They are experiencing inner peace and satisfaction. Paul said We shall not go on sinning (6:1) He said the believer must keep on growing, and shall not keep on sinning. The believers must pursuing better things like holiness, continue to live in the sense of sanctification.

Paul said, "You are under grace." (6:14) By God's grace, we are living in holiness. And we serve in the new way of Spirit, and not in the old way of written code. (7:6) If the perfect OT was so perfect and so complete, and mankind can save themselves, then God need not to send His only Begotten Son for us. No, the Hebrew OT is only a guide, to lead man to the Lord Jesus Christ. What about NT?

Those he justified, he also glorified. (8:30) and in another verse, "We all are..... changed into the same image from glory to glory, even as by the Spirit of the Lord." (2 Cor 3:18) "Nothing else in all creation will be able to separate us from the love of God, that is in Christ Jesus our Lord." (8:39) Even languages problem, bible issues, Bible errors, Bible Version, NIV or KJV, nothing is able to separate us from the love of God.

Here is the perfect preservation of the saints, so those who have truely believed in the Savior, this is the assurance, Jesus Christ already been crucified, he said when he was still on the cross, it is finished, He completed the plan of God to save mankind, there is nothing in the world can separate us from the love of God. The love of God is a perfect love. This is how much, Paul loves his own Jewish people, do you love your own people? Paul wrote here, "I could wish that I myself were cursed and cut off from Christ for the sake of my brothers, those of my own race, the people of Israel." (9:3)

"I will have mercy on whom I have mercy, and I will have compassion on whom I have compassion." (9:15) It is God who that made the choice, and He has the right to choose. God has chosen some to be saved, we know from the Bible, only those people truely believed in Jesus Christ will be saved, so in Jesus, we have the mercy of God. In Jesus, we have the compassion of God. Please trust in the Lord, believe in Him, you will be saved. God made the election only in Jesus Christ, not another election, not another lord, not in the perfect Bible, so please believe in the Lord Jesus Savior, as the one and only Savior.

Why theologians are looking and playing down on the mercy, compassion, and chosen of God, we are brother in Christ, at the same time, splitting and dividing the church because of a perfect Bible, Greek text, the VPP. It is man effort, but the theologians forgot, in Jesus Christ, we are one, union. It does not, therefore, depend on man's desire or effort, but on God's mercy. (9;16)

"The Lord Almighty had left us, descendants." (9:29), Sodom and Gomorrah were destroyed, but God had mercy on the family of Lot, theology is theology, the doctrine is doctrine, but it is God who had saved us. What then shall we say? (9:30)

There is no difference between Jew and gentile. (10:12) ....there is no language barrier that can keep us splitting, whatever the languages they are speaking, we all have the same Lord, Jesus Christ. We all need the same message, the Message is heard through the word of Christ. (10:17) What is the word of Christ, the preacher must preach about Christ, the message regarding the Lord, simply the Gospel, that is the word of Christ, words about Christ, this what we want. Those who do not want to accept the message they will not believe, if they do not believe, they will lost in sin. Paul said we believer, "do not be arrogant, but be afraid." (11:20), we must stand by faith, we are called not to be arrogant.

Prophesying is put before teaching, pastors before the teachers (12:6-7) the believers have the different gift to serve in the church. Teaching is one of them. Paul wanted everyone to be devoted to one another in brotherly love. (12:10) They are one, like a family, we should learn a spiritual lesson from our pastors and teacher, we must not learn to fight and fight. So here Paul adviced the pastors and teachers to do something. I personally think it is applicable to everyone. That is to "Live in harmony with one another" (12:16)

About the lawsuit between pastors and teachers, Paul said, "Submit to the governing authorities" (13:1) The believer should obey our government, do not repay evil them with evil. We must pay the taxes. As a good citizen, we should not support a corrupted government. We must pray for a good government.

"For he who loves his fellowman has fulfilled the law" (13:8) Here is the principle of Christian fellowship, we must love one another, this is to fulfill the law. At the same time, we are told not to gratify the desire of the sinful nature. (13:14) The Lord is coming soon, let us live to encourage our Christian brothers and sisters, to continue to run the race.

Accept him whose faith is weak without passing judgment on disputable matters. (14:1) Out of love, and for the sake of Christian fellowship, the teachers should stop to teach those disputable matters like VPP. Paul here insisted, ''Therefore let us stop passing judgment on one another. Instead, make up your mind not to put any stumbling block or obstacle in your brother's way. (14:13)

We who are strong ought to bear with the failing of the weak and not to please ourselves. (15:1) Finally, I hope the teachers will take good care of the Christian unity, the welfare of the believers, not to put any thing which can become a stumbling block to them, take care the brotherhood in Christ, remember we are to be like Paul in dealing with the doctrine of Preservation of the Bible.

Paul severely warned the brothers and sisters, that we must obey the truth. because there are people who like to divide the fellowship. So we must not follow them but you must keep away from them. "I urge you, brothers, to watch out for those who cause divisions and put obstacles in your way that are contrary to the teaching you have learned. Keep away from them. (16:17)


How Paul translated the OT into Greek?

Did Paul die for a perfect Bible?

We are under grace or law?

How shall we say then?

How shall we live?

Is there any disputable matter?

Should we be divided?

Bonus question :

Since I have the perfect Bible, I will not rely on the Holy Spirit................(true/false)

Carnal !

What is youthful lust?

Once upon a time, there was a man called Mr. Fear, he was living in a small village, he was not a godly man. One day he has a visitor from a far country, Mr. Sanner, a pastor's son. During the visit, Mr. Sanner could not sleep at night, he suggested to Mr. Fear to go for drink and food. Poor_thing!. What a surprise to Mr. Fear, a pastor son visiting nightclubs, and sometimes accompanied by preachers and pastors friends. Since Mr. Fear is a family man, he refused to go with him.

Two years after that, Mr. Fear went to further his study, and in that school, Mr. Sanner, came, they met again. Mr. Fear quite disturbed in the beginning, and so he kept away from Mr. Sanner. Later they reunion and they went out to drink coffee and tea in the afternoon. And seeing Mr. Fear was so poor, Mr. Sanner gave him some money, Mr. Fear was delighted by Mr. Sanner kindness. Sometimes in need, he asked money from Mr. Sanner. Closer and closer they became. More and more time they spent together, Mr. Fear find out Mr. Sanner was quarreling with the father, and Mr. Sanner was trying to escape from his family matters, so they went out until late night and far from the school. They talked with fun and tried to forget their problems.

One day, Mr. Sanner suggested to Mr. Fear, to go to a red light district. Since Mr fear came from the village, Mr. Sanner wanted so much to bring him for some places like that for an eye-opener, temptation was there luring men, Mr fear find out Mr. Sanner was so excited, in inviting him to go to that kind of places, this time, Mr. Fear wanted to see what Mr. Sanner was intended to do, they both went, and lo, the places are full of things which were worldly. Mr. Fear was afraid that their visit will be exposed, so they went secretly, but Mr fear went with fear and trembling also with curiosity. So they went to many places like that, later Mr. Fear, kept a distance from Mr. Sanner. Thank God, not big sin was committed during those visits, but those visits were not helping Mr. Sanner, and it was a stupid thing Mr. Fear had done. Mr. Sanner may have fallen into sins long time before.

Later Mr. Sanner went out alone with a young boy in the school at night and at other free times. Mr. Fear was wondering what was going on between them, he joined them again to see what happened, this time 3 of them went further deep into the red light district, Mr. Fear asked the boy to bring along the tape recorder and camera to get the proof, to be the witness in his wrongdoing. The boy did what Mr. Sanner asked. Things like this should not happen, but it was greed and lust, that they went to places like this, thank God 3 of them did not fall into any big sins like fornication and adultery. They went there for fun, but that is danger waiting for them, Mr. Fear, later kept away from Mr. Sanner, and advice the young boy to be careful in his relationship with Mr. Sanner. It is better to keep away from going out with Mr. Sanner.

But the young boy continued to go out with Mr. Sanner after many advice from Mr. Fear, the boy at one point stopped going out with Mr. Sanner. Few months after that Mr. Fear went home, 3 of them separated. Mr. Fear hoped the boy will stop seeing Mr. Sanner and pay more attention in his study. But even after a few months later, after Mr fear departed from the school, he found out Mr. Sanner and the young boy already became a good friend, what happened to them, who knows? Mr fear hoped that they will escape the great and little sins, and also not to committing the unpardonable sin, that is to reject Christ.

The visits to those places have a big impact on their life. And those places are like Sodom and Gomorrah, these 2 places were burned with the fire from heaven. Lot and 3 daughters escaped narrowly. (Gen 19:23-29) And in New Testament, Paul advice Timothy, to "flee also youthful lust" (1 Tim 2:22), James said "the  lust brings us to war and fights among us" (James 4:1) In another place, Paul said, "crucified the flesh and lust." (Gal 5:24) "Lust of the flesh, and lust of the eyes, and the pride of the world." John said all of them will be destroyed at the end of the world (1 John 2:16) To the church fo Corinthian, Paul says, "We should not lust after evil things." (1 Cor 10:6). May God help us, in keeping our body, the temple of God. (1 Cor 6:19)

Lust is putting on a war with the Holy Spirit. If you have committed great sins like King David, even you took 40 tablets of Paracetamol, or you killed your self, even that you also cannot solve your problems, you need Christ the Savior, and in Him, there is salvation, in Him only there is forgiveness. Return to Him tonight, so that you will receive the atonement of your sins. There are many vans carrying this logo on the streets, the logo is "Jesus Saves !" It is true, that there is no rest until you find Jesus.

Look !

The human brain has not many differences in shape and color, even weight, the OT said,

"The LORD does not look at the things man looks at. The man looks at the outward appearance, but the LORD looks at the heart." (1 Sam 16:7)

One day, "How do you know me?" Nathanael asked.

Jesus answered, "I saw you while you were still under the fig tree before Philip called you." Then Nathanael declared, "Rabbi, you are the Son of God; you are the King of Israel."(John 1:48-49)

God looks into our hearts and knows everything.

Are you still looking for a perfect Bible? But the Lord said, "Look, the harvest truly is plentiful." (Matthew 9:37)

And then the scripture says, "If I have the gift of prophecy and can fathom all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have a faith that can move mountains, but has not love, I am nothing." (1 Cor 13:2)

Do you have the love for the lost in the harvest?

The harvest is crying out there....

100-billion-charity note

"Then I heard what sounded like a voice among the four living creatures, saying, "A quart of wheat for a day's wages, and three quarts of barley for a day's wages, and do not damage the oil and the wine !" (Rev 6:6)

Zimbabwe introduces 100-billion-dollar note

HARARE (AFP) - Zimbabwe, grappling with a record 2.2 million percent inflation, has introduced a new 100-billion-dollar bank note in a bid to tackle rampant cash shortages, the central bank said Saturday.


The new note will go into circulation on Monday, the bank said in a statement cited by state media, joining about half a dozen new high denomination notes already issued this year.

In January, a 10-million-dollar note was issued, then a 50-million-dollar note in April. In May, notes for 100 million and 250 million dollars were issued, swiftly followed by those for five billion, 25 billion and 50 billion.


The southern African nation, currently gripped by a post-election crisis, has been ravaged by hyperinflation which shot up from 165,000 percent in February to 2.2 million in June.

Independent economists, however, believe the official inflation figure is grossly understated, estimating it could be running between 10 million and 15 million percent.

Zimbabwe's chronic economic crisis has left at least 80 percent of the population living below the poverty threshold and mass shortages of basic goods in shops.

The rich will become richer, the poor will becomes poorer,

The Bible tells us, "Is it not the rich who are exploiting you? Are they not the ones who are dragging you into court? Are they not the ones who are slandering the noble name of him to whom you belong? " (James 2:7)

Pray, so that the church is not practicing discrimination, favoritism is forbidden in the body of Christ, pray also for those servants of the Lord, who are in debts, and for those whom cannot pay back to you, please do good to them.

I hope I have more charity than my money.

I have things to compare,

Faith, Hope, and Charity,

You know, the just will live by faith,

You know, there is hope in the Lord,

Do you know, among the three of them, the greatest is the charity?
