We Believe!

I bring to you our beliefs and why we believe them. I urge you follow Acts 17:11 and  search the scriptures to see if what we say is true.

                                              *****************

Having written many articles for several Christian Forums, 'Sharing God's WORD' will be bringing those type articles and others to you the reader directly. We will share with you the what and why our beliefs happen to be. All through the Sovereignty of GOD and His WORD in The Holy Bible!

**We believe that Jesus Christ is "fully" God Incarnate, became "fully" man to fulfill a destiny on our behalf, was crucified, buried, and bodily resurrected, is presently seated on His Father’s Throne, and will soon return to establish His Kingdom on the Earth.  Jesus Christ is the Way, Truth and the Life (John 14:6).  Only through Him and Faith and "Faith alone" in the Gospel of Jesus will one be able to get to heaven and eternal life.

(1 Cor 15:1-4)..(KJV).."Let me now remind you, dear brothers(*) and sisters, of the Good News I preached to you before. You welcomed it then, and you still stand firm in it. V2..It is this Good News that saves you if you continue to believe the message I told you—unless, of course, you believed something that was never true in the first place. V3..I passed on to you what was most important and what had also been passed on to me. Christ died for our sins, just as the Scriptures said. V4.. He was buried, and he was raised from the dead on the third day, just as the Scriptures said." (emphasis added)  *Greek brothers; also in 15:31, 50, 58, 

**We believe in the Trinity of God (the Father), Jesus Christ (the Son) and the Holy Spirit as the one and only GOD of the creation of all things.

**We believe the inerrant Word of GOD (original manuscripts-autographs) as brought to us through the Authorized King James Bible (1611 Old English, 1769 (new) English Editions).  There are questions as to the inerrancy of this Bible....Yes, this Bible has around 200 errors within its pages. These are for the greater part found in the transliteration of Hebrew to Greek to English proper names. Other errors result in the ending and beginning of Chapters and Books of the Bible...These errors are well known and have been cataloged. Many of those errors may be found in this link.

**The Authorized King James Bible is made up of two Testaments, 66 Books with 40 writers and ONE---AUTHOR.....GOD.  This complete set of books is an integrated work from beginning (Genesis 1:1) to the End (Revelation 22:19) through the Inspired work of GOD:

2 Tim 3:16..(KJV).."All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness:."

**The Holy Bible is the story of two weddings;  where God (the Father) has chosen a nation, a people (Israel) not because they were stronger or prettier or better that everyone else but because it was in His sovereign power to do so.  He becomes a husband to her (Jer 3:14-15), then divorces ( Jer 3:8) her because of her idolatry, fornication, adultery and wickedness but not before they have a SON.

**This Son (Jesus Christ) through his sacrifice at the Cross, Burial and Resurrection from the grave will forgive the sins of believers and give them eternal justification and glorification. He will build His Church as He had once told Peter (Mat 16:18) where He will be the Head and the Body will be the members (believers) of His Church. They, the members will also become His bride elect and prior to His 2nd Advent, His bride (Rev 19:7).

**Our interpretation of the Bible is Literal, Historical and Grammatical.

We agree with Dr. Cooper's 'common sense Golden Rule of Interpretation':

“When the plain sense of Scripture makes common sense, seek no other sense; therefore, take every word at its primary, ordinary, usual, literal meaning unless the facts of the immediate context, studied in the light of related passages and axiomatic and fundamental truths, indicate clearly otherwise.” [1]

This has often been shortened to “When the plain sense of Scripture makes common sense, seek no other sense, lest it result in nonsense.”
