I John 5: THE BIBLICAL WAY FORWARD
Rev. David P. Griffiths speaks out the heart of God through the scriptures
1 Whosoever believeth that Jesus is the Christ is born of God: and every one that loveth him that begat loveth him also that is begotten of him.
Being "begotten of him" means to be of the same substance as him, that is if Jesus is the "begotten son" of the Father than Jesus is of the same substance as the Father. If therefore we are "begotten of him", then we are of the same substance as Jesus who in turn is of the same substance as the Father.
2 By this we know that we love the children of God, when we love God, and keep his commandments.
3 For this is the love of God, that we keep his commandments: and his commandments are not grievous.
This is very significant as it is not prayer giving us this but an obedience to the will of the Father, and through this obedience an ability to keep his commandments.
God has always worked this way. His very first covenant promise has the same demand.
Ex 15:26 And said, If thou wilt diligently hearken to the voice of the LORD thy God, and wilt do that which is right in his sight, and wilt give ear to his commandments, and keep all his statutes, I will put none of these diseases upon thee, which I have brought upon the Egyptians: for I am the LORD that healeth thee
.
4 For whatsoever is born of God overcometh the world: and this is the victory that overcometh the world, even our faith.
5 Who is he that overcometh the world, but he that believeth that Jesus is the Son of God?
This is very important in overcoming. we have learnt from II Tim. 3 that perilous times will come - but here we learn that whosoever believeth that JESUS is THE SON OF GOD overcometh the World.
Those with a "new translation" cannot therefore overcome the World for ALL DENY THE DEITY OF CHRIST JESUS and all describe Jesus as "a son" rather than the son.
We are entering a time in the World where we are seeing great financial institutions fall - and great financial institutions are behind these "new translations. They are immoral and unjust stealing from the Church true doctrine and victory.
Also going on in the World is a taking over of struggling businesses at a cheap price by an elite class set up by Satan in his quest for one world government. This elite class is financed by an overseeing eye that oversees the World's banking orders.
Christian Businesses need to be aware of this!
Christian ministries are being taken over too in what has become known as the "Emerging Church." This has come about by bringing ministries together under umbrella organisations like ICA, Churches Together and the E.A.
Only a remnant can move in the power being intimated here as the majority have fallen for the antichrist new translation counterfeit. These new translations are very evident in the umbrella groups intimated.
I appeal to you all to abandon these falsehoods and come on board the true remnant Church that victoriously declares JESUS LORD.
These umbrella groups have Bibles from the same codices as the Jehovah's Witness cult.
IN JEHOVAH’S WITNESS NWT JESUS IS NOT EQUAL WITH THE FATHER and “a god”!
NWT: Phil.2: 6 who, although he was existing in God’s form, gave no consideration to a seizure, namely, that he should be equal to God.John 1:1 In [the] beginning the Word was, and the Word was with God, and the Word was a god
John 8:58 Jesus said to them: “Most truly I say to YOU, Before Abraham came into existence, I have been.
IN NIV JESUS IS NOT EQUAL WITH THE FATHER and “a god”!
NIV Phil. 2:6 Who, being in very nature God,
did not consider equality with God something to be grasped,
John 3:16 For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.
Daniel 3:25 He said, "Look! I see four men walking around in the fire, unbound and unharmed, and the fourth looks like a son of the gods."
IN NASB JESUS IS NOT EQUAL WITH THE FATHER and “a god”!
NASB Phil. 2:6 who, although He existed in the form of God, did not regard equality with God a thing to be grasped
Daniel 3:25 He said, "Look! I see four men loosed and walking about in the midst of the fire without harm, and the appearance of the fourth is like a son of the gods!"
IN AMPLIFIED JESUS IS NOT EQUAL WITH THE FATHER and “a god”!
AMPLIFIED Phil. 2:6 Who, although being essentially one with God and in the form of God [possessing the fullness of the attributes which make God God], did not think this equality with God was a thing to be eagerly grasped or retained,
Daniel 3:25 He answered, Behold, I see four men loose, walking in the midst of the fire, and they are not hurt! And the form of the fourth is like a son of the gods!

Daniel 3:25 He answered and said, "But I see four men unbound, walking in the midst of the fire, and they are not hurt; and the appearance of the fourth is like a son of the gods.
And in NKJV “hell” is removed and so what is there to be saved from??????
Matthew 16:18 And I also say to you that you are Peter, and on this rock I will build My church, and the gates of Hades shall not prevail against it.By removing “hell” this gives the access for the “gates of hell” to prevail –
NKJV “Church” is a very dangerous place to be for “hell” has legal access. Also - in the NKJV - Jesus is "a son" too
John 8: 35 And a slave does not abide in the house forever, but a son abides forever.
In the true Authorized Version
JESUS IS FULLY EQUAL WITH THE FATHER and THE SON OF GOD,
the gates of HELL not prevailing
A.V. Phil. 2:6 Who, being in the form of God, thought it not robbery to be equal with God:
Daniel 3:25 He answered and said, Lo, I see four men loose, walking in the midst of the fire, and they have no hurt; and the form of the fourth is like the Son of God.
John 8: 35 And the servant abideth not in the house for ever: but the Son abideth ever.
Matthew 16: 18 And I say also unto thee, That thou art Peter, and upon this rock I will build my church; and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it.
If you desire to overcome, therefore - GET THE SWORD - the true Bible authorized in 1611 by King James.
6 This is he that came by water and blood, even Jesus Christ; not by water only, but by water and blood. And it is the Spirit that beareth witness, because the Spirit is truth.
7 For there are three that bear record in heaven, the Father, the Word, and the Holy Ghost: and these three are one.
8 And there are three that bear witness in earth, the Spirit, and the water, and the blood: and these three agree in one.
No wonder verse 7 has been left out of Westcott and Hort's "original Greek" that led up via Nestle Aland to today's heretical NIV that denies this truth. This is fundamental truth that separates "the remnant" from being near the counterfeit of many of today's "churches".
This is not surprising as Westcott and Hort were not Biblical scholars but psychic misfits that today is supported by Nicky Gumbel of the Alpha Course.
1862 Apr. 30th, May 1st - Hort: "It seems to be clearly and broadly directed to maintaining that the English clergy are not compelled to maintain the absolute infallibility of the Bible. And, whatever the truth may be, this seems just the liberty required at the present moment, if any living belief is to survive in the land." (Life, Vol.I, p.454).Hort, A.F., Life and Letters of Fenton J.A. Hort, MacMillan and Co., London, 1896, vols. I,II.
If you are to overcome financially therefore, it is imperative that you use a 1611 A.V. Bible.
If you desire to overcome, therefore - GET THE SWORD - the true Bible authorized in 1611 by King James.
9 If we receive the witness of men, the witness of God is greater: for this is the witness of God which he hath testified of his Son.
10 He that believeth on the Son of God hath the witness in himself: he that believeth not God hath made him a liar; because he believeth not the record that God gave of his Son.
11 And this is the record, that God hath given to us eternal life, and this life is in his Son.
12 He that hath the Son hath life; and he that hath not the Son of God hath not life.
If you have a "new translation" we can't help you. Your "sword" is lacking - lacking truth. Your "sword" declares the ultimate heresy - that Jesus is merely "a son"
According to the real scriptures it is imperative to believe on "THE SON OF GOD"!
13 These things have I written unto you that believe on the name of the Son of God; that ye may know that ye have eternal life, and that ye may believe on the name of the Son of God.
14 And this is the confidence that we have in him, that, if we ask any thing according to his will, he heareth us:
15 And if we know that he hear us, whatsoever we ask, we know that we have the petitions that we desired of him.
16 If any man see his brother sin a sin which is not unto death, he shall ask, and he shall give him life for them that sin not unto death. There is a sin unto death: I do not say that he shall pray for it.
17 All unrighteousness is sin: and there is a sin not unto death.
18 We know that whosoever is born of God sinneth not; but he that is begotten of God keepeth himself, and that wicked one toucheth him not.
Sinning not comes to those who are of the same substance as HIM.
19 And we know that we are of God, and the whole world lieth in wickedness.
20 And we know that the Son of God is come, and hath given us an understanding, that we may know him that is true, and we are in him that is true, even in his Son Jesus Christ. This is the true God, and eternal life.
21 Little children, keep yourselves from idols. Amen.
