THE PRAYER CHAIN
I was just reading where Texas is trying to get biblical CDs into every home in their state.....what a GREAT idea - I thought!! As I read the article, however, I saw where they are using the ESV of the bible. I never heard of it so I looked it up.....it's NOT the bible at all. John 3:16 - the verse they say they use on the CD - is not quoted correctly. It calls Jesus Gods "only" son - not His "ONLY BEGOTTEN" son! It is a BIG difference when you leave out the word BEGOTTEN! How can God bless that effort? They are not giving people God's Word - they are giving people man's word. Why would anyone leave out the word BEGOTTEN? Give people God's Word and revival will break out - guaranteed!!! Give them man's word and they might as well be reading the telephone book.....
In Luke's genealoy it calls Adam "the son of God" (Luke 3:38). Genesis 6:2 associates "the sons of God" with angels. Angels are referred to as "sons of God" in Job 1:6, 2:1 and 38:7. God calls his regathered people Israel his sons and daughters in Isaiah 43:3-7. Those who receive Christ as their Saviour are called "sons of God". See John 1:12, Romans 8:14-19, Philippians 2:15 and First John 3:1,2. Is there a difference in the term applied to Jesus? Yes!!
Not Adam, not the angels, not the nation of Israel and not even the prospective church can claim the special relationship Jesus has with our heavenly Father. Jesus alone is the "beginning of the creation of God" (Revelation 3:14), and he alone refelcts the characteristics of God to such an extent that knowing him was tantamount to personally knowing God (John 10:30). Nowhere is this special relationship better expressed than in what may arguably be the most widely quoted verse in the Bible, John 3:16.
God has many "sons" but only Jesus is His "ONLY BEGOTTEN" Son!!! To leave that word out of the bible is taking the deity away from Jesus! Never accept a bible that takes the word "BEGOTTEN" away from Jesus......

2. God used it to save my soul!
3. God has used it for the growth and maturing of the saints!
4. God has used it to build the strongest and best Bible-believing churches for over 300 years!
5. God has used it to bring great revivals among English speaking people for over 300 years!
6. God has used it to challenge and call missionaries!
7. God has used it because it exalts His Son, the Lord Jesus Christ!
8. God has used it because it is His Word, which He has providentially watched over since 1611!
WHAT DID GOD MEAN WHEN HE SAID....
* "Thou shalt have no other gods before me?" Exodus 20:3. This means don't love anything more than you love God.
* "The woman shall not wear that which pertaineth unto a man, neither shall a man put on a woman's garment, for all that do so are abomination unto the Lord thy God" Deuteronomy 22:5. That means women don't wear pants and men don't wear dresses.
* "Wine is a mocker, strong drink is raging: and whosoever is deceived thereby is not wise" Proverbs 20:1. The opposiste of wise is stupid, therefore, if you drink alcohol you are stupid.
* "Ye shall not make any cuttings in your flesh for the dead; nor print any marks upon you: I am the Lord" Leviticus 19:28. No tattoo's!
* "If a man also lie with mankind as he lieth with a woman, both of them have committed an abomination: they shall surely be put to death: their blood shall be upon them" Leviticus 20:13. This means homosexuality is an abomination to Almighty God! Nobody was born into that - they choose to live in sin.
* "And as it is appointed unto man once to die, but after this the judgment" Hebrews 9:27. God is going to judge the sins of the world. You will die one day and you will stand before God, the Creator of the heavens and the earth, and tell Him why you chose to reject His Son and live in sin while on the earth. He will then declare "I never knew you!" and cast you into the lake of fire for eternity.
* "And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire" Revelation 20:15. If you never repent of your sins and accept Jesus Christ as your Lord and Saviour, you will be cast into the lake of fire forever.
