1:2, Holiness is a sign of perfection.
1:3, Paul always prays for the Colosians, Paul knew they were not perfect, he still thanks God for them.
1:4, do not boast, everything is a gift from God. We are the receiver. Have faith, but also must have love !
1:5, Paul wanted them to know the truth of the Gospel. This is the purpose of his epistles.
1:6, The Gospel outreach was started after the sending of the Holy Spirit at the pentacost. We must begin with the Holy Spirit.
How can we start all over again with a TR ?
1:8, …..love in the Holy Spirit, add this in your doctrine. Care for one and another, rather than pulling their legs, how can you the lecturer of the Word of God, betrayed your students, who had put their trust in you, how can you because of a minor doctrine you betrayed your brothers in Christ. You attack you own students and betray what you have holding on.
1:9, some are promoting Agnosticism, rather than faith. Pray, so that God may help us in working and living. Keep us in the most holy faith.
Agnosticism (Greek: α- a-, without + γνώσις gnōsis, knowledge; after Gnosticism) is the philosophical view that the truth value of certain claims — particularly metaphysical claims regarding theology, afterlife or the existence of God, gods, deities, or even ultimate reality — is unknown or, depending on the form of agnosticism, inherently impossible to prove or disprove. VPP is a kind of.
1:11, LONG SUFFERING AND FORGIVING, are the fruit of the Holy Spirit ? Yes or no ? Since we have God in control, can’t we forgiving and forbearing those brother in Christ who are reading the NIV, CUV ? Accepting those who do not accept VPP, like Christ accepted the woman caught in adultery ?
1:12, how to continue hating a brother in Christ, when we are walking in the light ? Unless we are blind. And how can we said we love God, when we are provoking the younger believer in anger ?
1:13, 14, Redemption by the Son of God. Not by a man’s work. Not by the Scribes, not by the Pharisees, not by the High Priest, not by the theologians, even not by the 15th century reformers, (they are all the instrument of God, we must thank God for them.) But by grace, we have only one Savior, one mediator, no other name that can saved us, no other, and we are saved to do good work, this is the will of God. There is only one Kingdom of the Son, but not divided.We are moved from darkness into light, and we are free from darkness.
Martin luther pray, that let the angels be charged for us, so that we may not be over power by the evil power.
1:15, God is a Spirit, we cannot see Him, His Son, took the image of a man, and the Word became fresh, became a perfect man, called Jesus Christ, He came to the world to magnify God himself, in Him we see God. Only through Jesus Christ, we can see God clearly.
1:18-19, beware of those school that put anything higher than Christ, those schools are the primary school, shallow in their teaching, we must go beyond those schools. We must know that Christ is the head of the catholic Church. Abundant life from Christ, and only He is the true vine, and only He is the true life ! ANd true life giver.
1;20, when Jesus was lifted up at the Cross, there is the reconcillation between God and man. United in Him.
1:21, we needed the grace and salvation from Christ. we were enemy of God, totally true. And sometimes we are acting like that again.
1:22, since there is no condemnation in Christ. Why some of them condemning those who are holding the CUV and NKJV like us ? And spliting the brotherhood in Christ.
Do they wanted to crucify Christ again on the Cross, seeing that His sacrifice and death are not enough and have no power to unite us, when we are refuting the VPP, the theologians condemned us, must Jesus died on the cross again so that BP can united again after this, must Jesus died another time so that we are forgiven because we refute VPP ? No, Christ died once and for all. Should Jesus be crucify again just because I am reading CUV ?
1:23, do not moved by false doctrine. We must not self content, in this “false perfection” promoting by some false teachers. We must pursue holiness, without holiness, no one can see God. Christ had died on the Cross, do we preach about His suffering, sacrifice, martyrdom, self denying ? Or something else like this VPP, meaningless arguement.
Or we are still quarreling in the primary school ? Quarrel about what ? Who is the headmaster, how much we should praise him when he is old, and who is the second man now, how many votes he got, where is the landmarks from our forefathers, how big was my parsonage next years, how tall is my Babel, what is my position in the church committees, where is the next Bible to be defined, which preacher to be condemned, this pastor to be promoted, and what is the next reformation, this reformation, that reformation. But you forgot the Lord, we worship with our lips, but we are far away from Him.
1:25, what is the whole council of the gospel, if we know, we must preach the full gospel.
1:28, Paul said, WE HAVE PERFECTION IN CHRIST.
2:2, only the Believers have the truth, and true wisdom.
2:4, Paul said, knowing Christ is the only way to know God, there is no short cut, there is no other way, beware of false doctrines, leading to destructions.
2:5, be alert, there are alarms, and there are the false doctrines. Also the false alarms like the VPP.
One of the student went to see the principal of a Bible College, and asked him, why he used the NIV in his commentary, “the Gospel of ife.” And the old principal told his students, that NIV is easier to understand. Because there were many foreign students who were weak in their languages. So he quoted the NIV in his commentary of Gospel of John. The students were very happy to hear his answer, and he sees great wisdom in the principal. He is not like a false teacher in a stoicheia who is attacking the people who are reading CUV.
2:7, better take time to teach these commandments in the Bible College :
1)Rooting in Christ,
2)Building in Christ,
3)Strengthening in Christ
4)Thank giving in Christ.
2:8. the danger is in BP, not outside BP, the manipulating by the false teachers and their doctrines must be stopped.
2:10, worship Christ, do not worship the Bible.
2:14, the end of the law is Christ. Christ is the new beginning. Christ has bear our sins, and our imperfections, nailed them on the cross.
2:15, We have the victory in Christ. But Paul wanted us to beware those false teachers and their docrines.
2:16, and there were heresy in Colossian. As we know, like Paul indicated to us. Most of the heresies are mere imaginations. Pride of the World is working in the heart of the teachers. Like the branches are separated from the vine, they dried off. We must unite with the true Vine. He is the life giver.
2:22, their greatest error is making the rules of man to be come the commandment of God. This is their weakness.
3:1, had nothing to do with the evil force. Rather walk in the narrow way, and Jesus is the way. Only way. From Him we may go to God the Father. Remember VPP is not the narrow way.
3:5, put to death, the evil desires. Become a new creature in Christ. This is what count.
1)fornication,
2)uncleanness,
3)inordinate affection,
4)evil concupiscence,
5)covetousness
3:8, but sometimes we fall in sins these again, and we are living the old man again.
1.)anger
2.)wrath,
3.)malice,
4.)blasphemy,
5.)filthy communication….
3:9, and we lived in lies….then we will create untrustworthiness among BP, doubts one another, and then the church split like what the theologian done ! Are we aiming that way now, VPP is the wrong way, lets take an u-turn. This is not our goal. When we are new in Christ, we must a new goal.
3:11, When we are anew in Christ, then there is all equal in Christ. Not matter what languages you speak, read your Bible in your languages or mother tongue, and believe in Christ, you are saved, there is a higher plain we aim, Christ is the Rock. Do you believe there is no enemies in Heaven, BP and BP, BP and methodist... even now you do not wanted to forgive someone here on earth, there is no enemy you find in heaven. Forgive them now on earth, do just try, say "yes", do not say "no."
3:14, and above all these things, put on charity, which is the bond of perfectness. Practise love. Abundant life is a life full of love. United because of love.
3:16, praise and thank the Lord. Do this, put away VPP. Put away !
4:2, cease the quarrel, and continue in praying. Watch. The coming of the Lord is nearer. The lamb of God has been slained.
4:5, be careful, what life we are living. We are the Jesus’ witnesses. Thank God, He gives time for us to live, let us preach the gospel, spread the truth, and continue to serve the Lord.
4:6, Be the salt and light in the world. Let us edify the church, by the truth, we are build, even salt can sanctify too.
4:7-8, Paul talk about his co-labourer. Do you ?
4:10, Paul forgave Mark, the younger man. Do you ?
4:11, the name of Jesus is mentioned here, a common name in Jewish community. Do you ?
4:14, Luke, a good doctor. Do you ?
4:15, home church, house church. Do you ?
4:18, Paul was imprison for the sake of the Gospel. Do you ?
Conclusion:
Help me to be like Paul, and like Christ.

Words used by the leaders
The words I used in this blog are sometimes very nasty and vulgar, Christians should refrained from using those words, but these are normal to those VPP leader and pastors who support the VPP. I heard with my own ears these words were spoken from their mouth.
These are actually the actual words used by the church leader and the follower who are supporting the VPP, words like these were spoken when they were driving such as “stupid, ....” Are used by the leaders, you think they spoke perfect words, no they do not. The leaders will tried to be good in front the congregation, but behind you he will called you “stupid.” And still that leader believe in a PERFECT BIBLE ! Propaganda of VPP leader is to call other Stupid.., they are the wise, put down other under their foot. And they still can said "Holding forte the Word" ! This is the "true life…"!!!!
Some words like “cut your throat using your own words,” “put your foot into your mouth.” “pai kia, or bad boy” “swindler,” these words are normal in their conversations, but the congregation does not heard this daily. This is no surprise to me. Salt your conversation with VPP some more ? No thanks.
I washed with curry powder !

Scholars hunt missing pages of ancient Bible
JERUSALEM - A quest is under way on four continents to find the missing pages of one of the world's most important holy texts, the 1,000-year-old Hebrew Bible known as the Crown of Aleppo.
Crusaders held it for ransom, fire almost destroyed it and it was reputedly smuggled across Mideast borders hidden in a washing machine. But in 1958, when it finally reached Israel, 196 pages were missing — about 40 percent of the total — and for some Old Testament scholars they have become a kind of holy grail.
Researchers representing the manuscript's custodian in Jerusalem now say they have leads on some of the missing pages and are nearer their goal of making the manuscript whole again.
The Crown, known in English as the Aleppo Codex, may not be as famous as the Dead Sea Scrolls. But to many scholars it is even more important, because it is considered the definitive edition of the Bible for Jewry worldwide.
The key to finding the pages is thought to lie with the insular diaspora of Jews originating in Aleppo, Syria, where the manuscript resided in a synagogue's iron chest for centuries.
A turning point in its history came three days after the U.N. passed the 1947 resolution to grant Israel statehood, provoking a Syrian mob to burn down the synagogue. Aleppo's Jews rescued the Codex, but in the ensuing years the 10,000-strong community was uprooted and scattered around the world.
Scholars believe that Aleppo Jews still hold many of the missing pages, while others have fallen into the hands of antiquities dealers. Two fragments have already surfaced: a full page in 1982, and a smaller piece last year that had been carried for decades by a Brooklyn man, Sam Sabbagh, as a good-luck charm. Persistent rumors tell of more waiting to be found.
When the Codex reached Israel 50 years ago it was presented to Izhak Ben-Zvi, the country's president and a scholar of Jewish communities in the Islamic world. Although the manuscript is housed at the Israel Museum with the Dead Sea Scrolls, the Ben-Zvi Institute founded by the late president remains its legal custodian and is behind the new search.
Past efforts, including some by Israeli diplomats and Mossad secret service agents, came up against a wall of silence in the Aleppo community. The new search has recruited a small group of Aleppo Jews, better able to win the community's trust, and has yielded information on the whereabouts of specific pieces and on the people who are holding them, said Zvi Zameret, the Ben-Zvi Institute's director.
"Only someone who believes that this manuscript is one of the foundation stones of the people of Israel, someone whose goal is not to get rich — only such a person can make progress," he said.
He divulged few details lest he compromise the effort. He would say only that the search is being carried out in North, South and Central America, Israel and England, and that success appeared within reach.
"If there is a possibility, as the rumors say, that there are not only small fragments but also entire sections, that is extremely exciting," said Adolfo Roitman, the Israel Museum curator in charge of the manuscript. "We're missing entire books — most of the five Books of Moses, except for a few pages, and we have no Book of Esther, no Book of Daniel."
He, like most other scholars involved, has met people who know of people who supposedly have pages. But the leads invariably end with people who refuse to talk.
Each page is priceless, but money wouldn't be an issue for most Aleppo Jews because anyone trafficking in such holy relics could be banished by the community, Roitman said. Some of the Crown's pages bear an inscription warning that it "may not be sold."
Some people might be superstitious about the fragments they hold, or believe they are rightfully the property of Aleppo Jews, not of scholars. Others might simply have no idea of the value of what they own.
The Codex, on 491 parchment pages about 12 inches by 10 inches, was transcribed sometime around 930 A.D. by Shlomo Ben Boya'a, a scribe in Tiberias on the banks of the Sea of Galilee. It was edited by a renowned scholar of the time, Aaron Ben-Asher. Its completion marked the end of a centuries-long process that created the final text of the Hebrew Bible.
It belonged to a Jewish community in Jerusalem until it was seized by the Crusaders who captured and sacked the city in 1099. Ransomed, it made its way to Cairo, where it was used by the 12th-century Jewish philosopher Maimonides, who declared it the most accurate copy of the Old Testament.
The manuscript doesn't contain passages missing from other versions. Instead, its accuracy is a matter of details like vowel signs and single letters that would only slightly alter pronunciation. But Judaism sanctifies each tiny calligraphic flourish in the Bible as a way of ensuring that communities around the world use precisely the same version of the divine book. That's why the Codex is considered by some to be the most important Jewish text in existence, and why the missing pieces are so coveted.
"The bottom line is that the whole process of putting together the text of the Bible ended with the Codex," said Rafael Zer of the Hebrew University Bible Project in Jerusalem, which is using the Codex to create what is meant to be the authoritative text of the Old Testament but can't properly complete it without the missing pages.
Not enough has been done to find them, laments Hayim Tawil of New York's Yeshiva University, the author of a forthcoming book on the Crown. "For Jews and for Western civilization this manuscript is equivalent to the Magna Carta," he said.
How the Codex reached Aleppo in northern Syria is unclear. Some scholars believe it was brought by a descendant of Maimonides in the late 1300s.
There it was guarded as the Jews' most prized possession and talisman. But on Dec. 2, 1947, the mob burned the synagogue. In the ensuing years, Aleppo Jews would describe rushing to snatch pages from the flames. The missing ones have not been seen since, with two exceptions.
One page from the Book of Chronicles survived in the New York apartment of an Aleppo woman and was handed over by her relatives in 1982. Another fragment recounting the Exodus story of the 10 plagues survived in the wallet of Sabbagh, another Aleppo exile in New York, who laminated it and kept it as a good luck charm. Last year, following Sabbagh's death, his family brought the fragment to join the rest of the manuscript in Jerusalem.
One of the men who rescued pages from the synagogue was Mourad Faham, who sneaked into the building disguised as a Bedouin and found the bulk of the manuscript on the floor, according to his grandson, Jack Dweck.
A decade later he strapped the manuscript under his robe and crossed the border into Turkey, Dweck said. From there it was wrapped in towels and, according to most versions of the story, bundled into a washing machine to be shipped to Israel.
Dweck, a businessman who lives in New York, home to one of the biggest communities of Aleppo Jews, says he has heard the rumors among his fellow Jews and believes the missing parts exist.
"My guess is that there's a bigger piece somewhere else, waiting to be found," he said.

Looking for a God, and finding Him
Psalm 97
The LORD reigneth; let the earth rejoice; let the multitude of isles be glad thereof.
Clouds and darkness are round about him: righteousness and judgment are the habitation of his throne.
A fire goeth before him, and burneth up his enemies round about.
His lightnings enlightened the world: the earth saw, and trembled.
The hills melted like wax at the presence of the LORD, at the presence of the Lord of the whole earth.
The heavens declare his righteousness, and all the people see his glory.
Confounded be all they that serve graven images, that boast themselves of idols: worship him, all ye gods.
Zion heard, and was glad; and the daughters of Judah rejoiced because of thy judgments, O LORD.
For thou, LORD, art high above all the earth: thou art exalted far above all gods.
Ye that love the LORD, hate evil: he preserveth the souls of his saints; he delivereth them out of the hand of the wicked.
Light is sown for the righteous, and gladness for the upright in heart.
Rejoice in the LORD, ye righteous; and give thanks at the remembrance of his holiness.
The LORD reigneth; let the earth rejoice; let the multitude of isles be glad thereof.

Hindu-Christian Violence Kills 9 in India's Orissa State

In India's eastern Orissa State, spiraling violence between Hindus and Christians has killed at least nine people. From New Delhi, Anjana Pasricha reports on the religious tensions gripping the region.
Smoke rises from a church torched by hard-line Hindus in Muniguda in Phulbani District of India's Orissa state, 26 Aug 2008
Authorities issued shoot-at-sight orders and police staged marches Wednesday in Orissa's Kandhamal District, the region worst-hit by violence between Hindus and Christians.
Kandhamal is a primarily tribal area, where Christian missionaries have worked for decades. Almost 20 percent of the district's people are Christians.
The clashes erupted after the killing of a Hindu leader, Swami Laxmanananda Saraswati, and four others on Saturday by unidentified armed men. The Hindu leader had been leading a drive to reconvert local residents from Christianity to Hinduism.
Since then, angry Hindu mobs have attacked and damaged churches, Christian homes and an orphanage. Some of the victims were burned to death, when rioters set fire to their homes.
Police say rival groups from both communities have attacked each other with axes, sticks and guns, despite a curfew. New clashes occurred Wednesday.
Home Minister Shivraj Patil says the federal government has asked state authorities to protect all communities.
"We asked them to take stern action to protect the properties, the churches, the life and limbs of people and properties and houses of other people also," said Patil.
Police say the Hindu leader was killed by local Maoist rebels. But Hindus blame Christians for his death. He belonged to a hard-line Hindu group called the World Hindu Council.
This is not the first time that tensions have run high between Hindus and Christians in Orissa. In 1999, a Hindu mob killed an Australian missionary and his two sons by setting fire to their car.
Hard-line Hindu groups accuse Christian missionaries of trying to convert illiterate tribal or Hindu villagers by alluring them with promises of free education and medical care, a charge denied by the missionaries.
Christian organizations in India have asked the government to end the violence. Christians make up about two percent of India's population, which is predominantly Hindu.

Emergency alert: prayer for Christians in Orissa, India
Dear prayer warriors,
Let's pray for the persecuted Christians of Orissa, India.
Psalm 119 : 86
All your commands are trustworthy; help me, for men persecute me without cause. They almost wiped me from the earth, but I have not forsaken your precepts.
We received this letter from a pastor in India. He writes:
We have never seen anything like this.
We knew that Orissa was the most resistant and hostile State in India as far as the Gospel is concerned. And we brushed off the continuous threats and harassment we faced as we went about His work. But none of our staff imagined that they would see this kind of carnage.... And it seems to be totally under the radar of the Western Media.... Let me explain.... A militant Hindu priest and 4 of his attendants, who were zealously going around the villages of Orissa and 'reconverting' people back to Hinduism, were gunned down by unknown assailants in Central Orissa last weekend. Immediately the Christians were blamed. The cry rose up...'Kill the Christians!' And the horror began....
In the past 4 days, we have first hand witness to hundreds of churches being blown up or burned and many, many dozens of Christian tribals have been slaughtered. For no other reason than they bear the name of Christ. Night and day I have been in touch with our Good News India Directors spread across 14 Dream Centers in Orissa... they are right in the middle of all this chaos. In Tihidi, just after the police came to offer protection, a group of 70 blood-thirsty militants came to kill our staff and destroy the home. They were not allowed to get in, but they did a lot of damage to our Dream Centre by throwing rocks and bricks and smashing our gate, etc. They have promised to come back and 'finish the job.' Our kids and staff are locked inside and have stayed that way with doors and windows shut for the past 3 days. It has been a time of desperately calling on the Lord in prayer. More police have come to offer protection. In Kalahandi, the police and some local sympathizers got to our dream centre and gave our staff and kids about 3 minutes notice to vacate. No one had time to even grab a change of clothes or any personal belonging. As they fled, the blood thirsty mob came to kill everyone in the building. We would have had a mass funeral there, but for His grace. In Phulbani, the mob came looking for Christian homes and missions. The local Hindu people, our neighbors turned them away by saying that there were no Christians in this area. So they left. We had favor.
The same thing happened in Balasore. All our dream centres are under lock down with the kids and staff huddled inside and police outside. The fanatics are circling outside waiting for a chance to kill. Others were not so fortunate. In a nearby Catholic orphanage, the mob allowed the kids to leave and locked up a Priest and a computer teacher in a house and burned them to death. Many believers have been killed and hacked into pieces and left on the road.... even women and children. At another orphanage run by another organization, when this began, the Director and his wife jumped on their motorbike and simply fled, leaving all the children and staff behind. Every one of our GNI directors that I have spoken to said: 'We stay with our kids.... we live together or die together, but we will never abandon what God has called us to do.'
More than 5000 Christian families have had their homes burned or destroyed. They have fled into the jungles and are living in great fear waiting for the authorities to bring about peace. But so far, no peace is foreseen. This will continue for another 10 days..... supposedly the 14 day mourning period for the slain Hindu priest. Many more Christians will die and their houses destroyed. Many more churches will be mashed down. The Federal government is trying to restore order and perhaps things will calm down. We ask for your prayers. Only the Hand of God can calm this storm. None of us know the meaning of persecution. But now our kids and staff know what that means. So many of our kids coming from Hindu backgrounds are confused and totally bewildered at what is happening around them. So many of their guardians have fled into the jungles and are unable to come and get them during these trying times. Through all this, I am more determined than ever to continue with our goal: the transformation of a community by transforming its children. Orissa will be saved... that is our heart's cry. If we can take these thousands of throw away children and help them to become disciples of Jesus, they will be transforming an entire region. It is a long term goal, but it is strategic thinking in terms of the Great Commission.
What can you do? First, please uphold all this in fervent prayer. Second, pass this e-mail on to as many friends as you can. We must get the word out and increase our prayer base for this is spiritual warfare at its most basic meaning. We are literally fighting the devil in order to live for His Kingdom. The next 10 days are crucial. We pray for peace and calm to pervade across Orissa. Thank you for taking the time to read this. Please pass it on and help us to get as many people to partner with us on this cutting edge effort to fulfill His mandate: Go and make disciples of all nations....
Blessings!

Emergency alert: prayer for Christians in Orissa, India
Dear prayer warriors,
Let's pray for the persecuted Christians of Orissa, India.
Psalm 119 : 86
All your commands are trustworthy; help me, for men persecute me without cause. They almost wiped me from the earth, but I have not forsaken your precepts.
We received this letter from a pastor in India. He writes:
We have never seen anything like this.
We knew that Orissa was the most resistant and hostile State in India as far as the Gospel is concerned. And we brushed off the continuous threats and harassment we faced as we went about His work. But none of our staff imagined that they would see this kind of carnage.... And it seems to be totally under the radar of the Western Media.... Let me explain.... A militant Hindu priest and 4 of his attendants, who were zealously going around the villages of Orissa and 'reconverting' people back to Hinduism, were gunned down by unknown assailants in Central Orissa last weekend. Immediately the Christians were blamed. The cry rose up...'Kill the Christians!' And the horror began....
In the past 4 days, we have first hand witness to hundreds of churches being blown up or burned and many, many dozens of Christian tribals have been slaughtered. For no other reason than they bear the name of Christ. Night and day I have been in touch with our Good News India Directors spread across 14 Dream Centers in Orissa... they are right in the middle of all this chaos. In Tihidi, just after the police came to offer protection, a group of 70 blood-thirsty militants came to kill our staff and destroy the home. They were not allowed to get in, but they did a lot of damage to our Dream Centre by throwing rocks and bricks and smashing our gate, etc. They have promised to come back and 'finish the job.' Our kids and staff are locked inside and have stayed that way with doors and windows shut for the past 3 days. It has been a time of desperately calling on the Lord in prayer. More police have come to offer protection. In Kalahandi, the police and some local sympathizers got to our dream centre and gave our staff and kids about 3 minutes notice to vacate. No one had time to even grab a change of clothes or any personal belonging. As they fled, the blood thirsty mob came to kill everyone in the building. We would have had a mass funeral there, but for His grace. In Phulbani, the mob came looking for Christian homes and missions. The local Hindu people, our neighbors turned them away by saying that there were no Christians in this area. So they left. We had favor.

I am living next door with a terroirst.
I am living with a terrorist !
The terrorist used my elctricity, by drilling hole into my wall, use my wire, and use my electricity to run a machine, I saw, water running out from the drainage day and night from his house. And sound of machine can be heard and heat can be felt upstair...I am afraid he is running a water cooled, nuclear reacktor...or a x-ray machine, there....or making illegal drug...or poison...
Today I switch off the main switch up stair, the meter slow down tremoudously. In fact nothing was running up there, no fan, no things, but the meter run like clazy. Someone used our electricity without my knowledge for the the past few years and I paid the bills.
May God save these terrorists ! May God forgive them....they thought they are clever in wickedness...

The Book of Colossians with the VPP
1Paul, an apostle of Christ Jesus by the will of God, and Timothy our brother,
2To the holy and faithful brothers in Christ at Colosse:
Grace and peace to you from God our Father.
Grace and peace to us, I pray, I pray, I pray !
For every one of us who are suffering because of VPP.
3 most important things for all the believers,
Calvin said, humility, humility, humility ?
But there is a brother, he said, to be kind, to be kind, to be kind.
The theologians said "PERFECT, PERFECT, PERFECT, PERFECT, ...PREFECT, PREFECT, PREFECT...PRECEPT PRECEPT PRECEPT...ZZZZZZ"
to be continue....

The Name of God
The theologians are teaching the VPP, and attacking the Word of God, and they are attacking the CUV, they had no fear of God. And they had hurt the body of Christ. They are like the enemy of Christ. They had no regard of elders and seniors.
I wanted them to know VPP is wrong, even the name of the God can refute VPP, and to refute VPP, they must study the name "Jehovah" and "Jahweh"
KJV translated the name of God, into "LORD", changing the name of God, this is automatically accepted by them. It is right or wrong ? It is a perfect preservation or not ? Jot and titles, translating the name of God into "LORD" ?
Some Bible scholars write the name of God "Yahweh", some write "LORD GOD", some write "Jehovah". Which is the correct one ? Since the theologians are teaching the VPP, since they had the perfect underlying text, they must had the answer ! Let tell us what they know about the name "Jehovah" or "Jahweh" ?
Some Hebrew MSS only had this JHWH,(Tetragrammaton).
Adding vowels to the Name of the Lord is an insult to some Jews.
And the theologians are still promoting the preservation to the jots and titles. What happened ? I hope the theologians can write a thesis about "the preservation of the name of God in TR." I wanted to read his view about preservation of the name of God in his perfect TR. The Israelites just called Jehovah, Adonai. How about them ? Are they wrong. No. So Why you the theologians attacking those Chinese Christians who are upholding the name of God ?
"Jehovah" was introduced in 1520 by Galatinus, but it was contested by Le Mercier.
Mesoratic favor "Jehovah."
Some scholars said that : We are quite in ignorance of its corret pronunciation.
"Jehovah" or "Jahweh" ? Many Israelites said "Adonai"
Let see what the theologians said about this ?
Shalom_Shalom..

Are the theologians cleverer than the Jew ?

The Theologians are attacking the Bible.
For the past 6 years, a Christian preacher had been oppressed by an Indian neigbour, the Indian treaten the Christian preacher, wanted to kill him and his wife, and the Indian he is an Idol worshiper, he is rich and proud of his statue in the sociaty. Day and night he oppressed the Christian verbally and spiritually. One day in 2008 he blocked the Christian preacher's car, and treaten to kill him in front of his own gate. And the Indian treaten verbally to kill the Christian Preacher in front of his young son and daugthers. And other neighbour laughted at the Christian preacher in giving in to the Indian scoldings and oppressions. The preacher said, there is a time of revenge, and the revenge is from the Lord. And he murmured to his wife about the injustice in his life.
There is another kind of murmur ! Murmur about the Chinese Bible.
Murmur about the Bible ?
Did I say, we must give thanks for the Bible.
Murmur that the Bible, and they are saying the CUV is not perfect enough, the theologians who are teaching VPP is murmuring that the CUV is not perfect enough. And they cursed the Chinese Pastors, and wanting to sack him, who do not endorsed their VPP. They are worse than the Indian who oppressed the Christian preacher. Because the theologians who are attaching CUV, with VPP, is attacking the Word of God. The theologians are putting their foot in their mouths. I said further, they are cutting their own throat with their own words.

The Contemporary Song from Israel
There is a singer from Israel named Paul, who used contemporary songs to worship
Jahweh. He is a very good singer.
The classical songs are good for mind, the contemporary songs are good for feeling toward God.
We needed both in different places.
Even the Israelites used contemporary songs these days.
When I am sad and down, I will praise the Lord in contemporary songs.

Four angels in Euphrates
Revelation 9:13-16
13The sixth angel sounded his trumpet, and I heard a voice coming from the horns[b] of the golden altar that is before God. 14It said to the sixth angel who had the trumpet, "Release the four angels who are bound at the great river Euphrates." 15And the four angels who had been kept ready for this very hour and day and month and year were released to kill a third of mankind. 16The number of the mounted troops was two hundred million. I heard their number.
These 4 angels must be guarded and bound now, before the end time.
Troops must be sent to control the rivers.

The Septuagint and Mesoratic Text
The Septuagint was held with great respect in ancient times; Philo and Josephus ascribed divine inspiration to its authors. Besides the Old Latin versions, the LXX is also the basis for the Slavonic, Syro-Hexaplar (but not the Peshitta), Old Armenian, Old Georgian and Coptic versions of the Old Testament. Of significance for all Christians and for Bible scholars, the LXX is quoted by the Christian New Testament and by the Apostolic Fathers. While Jews have not used the LXX in worship or religious study since the second century AD, recent scholarship has brought renewed interest in it in Judaic Studies. Some of the Dead Sea scrolls attest to Hebrew texts other than those on which the Masoretic Text was based; in many cases, these newly found texts accord with the LXX version. The oldest surviving codices of LXX (Codex Vaticanus and Codex Sinaiticus) date to the fourth century AD.
The differences between the LXX and the MT thus fall into four categories.
Different Hebrew sources for the MT and the LXX. Evidence of this can be found throughout the Old Testament. Most obvious are major differences in Jeremiah and Job, where the LXX is much shorter and chapters appear in different order than in the MT, and Esther where almost one third of the verses in the LXX text have no parallel in the MT. A more subtle example may be found in Isaiah 36.11; the meaning ultimately remains the same, but the choice of words evidences a different text. The MT reads "...al tedaber yehudit be-'ozne ha`am al ha-homa" [speak not the Judean language in the ears of (or — which can be heard by) the people on the wall]. The same verse in the LXX reads according to the translation of Brenton "and speak not to us in the Jewish tongue: and wherefore speakest thou in the ears of the men on the wall." The MT reads "people" where the LXX reads "men". This difference is very minor and does not affect the meaning of the verse. Scholars at one time had used discrepancies such as this to claim that the LXX was a poor translation of the Hebrew original. With the discovery of the Dead Sea Scrolls, variant Hebrew texts of the Bible were found. In fact this verse is found in Qumran (1QIsaa) where the Hebrew word "haanashim" (the men) is found in place of "haam" (the people). This discovery, and others like it, showed that even seemingly minor differences of translation could be the result of variant Hebrew source texts.
Differences in interpretation stemming from the same Hebrew text. A good example is Genesis 4.7 shown above.
Differences as a result of idiomatic translation issues (i.e. a Hebrew idiom may not easily translate into Greek, thus some difference is intentionally or unintentionally imparted). For example, in Psalm 47:10 the MT reads "The shields of the earth belong to God". The LXX reads "To God are the mighty ones of the earth." The metaphor "shields" would not have made much sense to a Greek speaker; thus the words "mighty ones" are substituted in order to retain the original meaning.
