Great verse, great point!
In the Service of the KING,

When I fully rely upon God, I find that He is fully reliable.

RE: Doctrinal differences
Brother Peter, you have an interesting little statement at the bottom of your posts that I have always believe. You mention the fact that the Bible is the sole authority for both faith and practice. However I had not until just recently known where that statement is found in the Bible. The Holy Spirit showed it to me recently.
(2Pe 1:3) According as his divine power hath given unto us all things that pertain unto life and godliness, through the knowledge of him that hath called us to glory and virtue:
You may think I am a little slow or something but I was quite pleased to see that fact in God's Holy Word. Notice the Bible says that the Lord "hath given unto us all things that pertain unto life and godliness. Life is our practice, conversation or the way we conduct ourselves. Godliness means things of faith.
The rest of you may have known of this Scripture for quite some time but if anyone was not, there it is. Perhaps someone will come to the boards and read it who was not aware of it. We are clearly told in 2 Peter that God gave us these things through His Word.
The tough part for me is following it. Sometimes I fall flat on my face. But...the Lord picks me back up when I hold out my hand to him.
In Christ,
George
Thank you so much for that post.
Yes, the LORD is a tremendous God.
We could confess for days of all our sins and short-comings and God would say "O, you are way worse than that!...But I love you!"
It is wonderful to be loved, forgiven, and accepted.
This is such a great motivation for living the very best for him and giving him all the credit and glory.
There is never any credit to us even on our best days of willing obedience.
We really are only doing what we ought to do in the first place.
Namely..
Loving God with all that we are and have.
Again..Thank you for that verse.
God is good, the Devil is a liar, and Jesus is LORD!
The HOLY BIBLE
Now known as the KING James BIBLE.

Memorize easier by writing down
the first letter of each word.
It works great!

That is profound when I stop and think about that and so very true.
Even the conjuring up of filthy rags in our minds cannot compare to what our Saviours recognition of us is. But, like you just said, He loves us anyway!
THAT is amazing!

Amen Brother Jim!
What brought me to that conclusion was a few things that stuck in my mind.The main ones were scriptures that state as much, also Charles Finney.He would always say that if a person does not repent of known sin,that he is literally re-endorsing it and so is recommitting the very same thing and has become twice the sinner he first was.
*******
This got me to figuring...math...so I started to double numbers to see how fast it gets and just how serious this doubling is.
*******
A measly 40 times of not repenting would make the person some 400 billion times the sinner he was.
*******
I applied this to posts of those that would not repent.They would have argued for forty pots on the thread.
Then I thought about it,God is much more meticulous than I, for I was only counting posts,but God counts every word and every thought.
Just how astronomical does that get?
*******
Then we see verses where his judgment is unto the third and fourth generations,
BUT...
His mercy?
Unto a thousand generations.
WOW! That is the display of God's heart, he longs to show mercy, but when he righteously see that mercy will not bring about the most amount of good, then he, in his infinite wisdom and love must use judgment,which is also an attribute of love.Namely willing the most amount of good,and bringing glory to his name.

RE: Doctrinal differences
It is really interesting that four times in the book of Isaiah we see this written:
(Isa 9:21) Manasseh, Ephraim; and Ephraim, Manasseh: and they together shall be against Judah. For all this his anger is not turned away, but his hand is stretched out still.
For all of this His anger is not turned away, but His hand is stretched out still. Amen! When we sin, and often we do, His anger will ensure that we are punished for those sins yet He stands there with His hand stretched out and when we turn to face Him, He is standing there as if to say, Sinner come home. I did not turn my back on you, you turned yours on Me but I will forgive you and extend to you the hand of comfort and fellowship.
What an amazing thing that is! I will not understand until the day I get to heaven why He loves me. Me? I would be willing to challenge the apostle Paul over the statement of being the chief among sinners and yet God loves me anyway. Why?
In Christ,
George
(Galatians 5:1) Stand fast therefore in the liberty wherewith Christ hath made us free, and be not entangled again with the yoke of bondage.

RE: Doctrinal differences
Amazing indeed! I cannot wait until we understand His indiscriminate love. And the fact that we actually will understand one day makes me stand in awe.
Davo, thank you for bringing up this particular thread. It got me to thinking about how the differences between the KJV and MV's are almost always argued over the texts and sources from what they were translated, but very few people bring the argument to the point of talking about the doctrinal differences between the two. That, IMO, is the more important issue.
Love in Christ,
Jim
