You had to go and spoil our harmony.Denominations represent divisions within Christendom, but have no biblical basis. Had the Greek Orthodox Church and the Roman Catholic Church adhered strictly to Bible doctrine, there would have been no divisions. At the same time, we must recognize that because there are both wheat and tares within Christendom, divisions are inevitable.
What non-denominational churches have to focus on is whether or not they will adhere to the New Testament pattern is all things. Which is easier said than done. For example, if they resort to modern bible versions they have already lost territory to the Enemy and will be subject to spiritual confusion. Unfortunately, too many non-denominational churches have abandoned the King James Bible, and CoreIssue is a good example of a non-denominational Christian who reviles this tried and tested Bible instead of holding to it tenaciously.
I already pointed out the King James version has a ton of errors. That it was written in the 1500's, not BC or the very early church. That it is based on Catholicism.
Genesis says became not was.
The Jews celebrated Passover, not Easter. Easter was a Catholic invention borrowed from the worship of Ishtar.
It added words to the Bible. It added the Apocrypha.
So, you keep posting KJV errors and I'll keep correcting you.
The KJV?????? Let me always see God this way instead:
Psalm 23 The Passion Translation (TPT)
The Good Shepherd
23 David’s poetic praise to God >[a]
1 The Lord is my best friend and my shepherd. >[b]
I always have more than enough.
2 He offers a resting place for me in his luxurious love. >[c]
His tracks take me to an oasis of peace, the quiet brook of bliss.
3 That’s where he restores and revives my life. >[d]
He opens before me pathways to God’s pleasure
and leads me along in his footsteps of righteousness >[e]
so that I can bring honor to his name.
4 Lord, even when your path takes me through
the valley of deepest darkness,
fear will never conquer me, for you already have!
You remain close to me and lead me through it all the way.
Your authority is my strength and my peace. >[f]
The comfort of your love takes away my fear.
I’ll never be lonely, for you are near.
5 You become my delicious feast
even when my enemies dare to fight.
You anoint me with the fragrance of your Holy Spirit; >[g]
you give me all I can drink of you until my heart overflows.
6 So why would I fear the future?
For your goodness and love pursue me all the days of my life.
Then afterward, when my life is through,
I’ll return to your glorious presence to be forever with you!
Footnotes:
- Psalm 23:1 Most scholars conclude that Ps. 23 was written by David when he was a young shepherd serving his father, Jesse, while he was keeping watch over sheep near Bethlehem. He was most likely sixteen or seventeen years old. The other psalm that he wrote when but a young lad was Ps. 19. Those are two good psalms to memorize and meditate upon if you want to have the heart of the giant killer.
- Psalm 23:1 The word most commonly used for “shepherd” is ra‘ah, which is also the Hebrew word for “best friend.” The translation includes both meanings.
- Psalm 23:2 The Greek word for “love” is agape, which is a merging of two words and two concepts. Ago means “to lead like a shepherd,” and pao is a verb that means “to rest.” Love is our Shepherd leading us to the place of true rest in his heart.
- Psalm 23:3 Or “He causes my life [or soul, Heb. nephesh] to return.” So often life drains out of us through our many activities, but David found that God restores our well-being by pursuing what pleases God and resting in him.
- Psalm 23:3 Or “circular paths of righteousness.” It is a common trait for sheep on the hillsides of Israel to circle their way up higher. They eventually form a path that keeps leading them higher. This is what David is referring to here. Each step we take following our Shepherd will lead us higher, even though it may seem we are going in circles.
- Psalm 23:4 Or “Your rod and your staff, they comfort me.”
- Psalm 23:5 The word oil becomes a symbol of the Holy Spirit.
Many use the King James version because it is so poetic. Others because it is one of the oldest print versions out there.
But that does not change the reality of Easter and the apocrypha in the original. Or that today you cannot read the original archaic English.
The authors never claimed it was the one and only Bible. A very modern day claim.
