I am so grateful for GOD’S blessing through the assistance of Tom DeOro in establishing Daily Spurgeon.tv to enrich DailySpurgeon.com, a website bringing Devotional Content from Charles Haddon Spurgeon and supports the continued use of the Immutable Authorized King James Bible (1769 edition). Our prayer is that through this instrumentality many will be Born Again and will continue in the Joy of the Lord, peace that passes understanding, the continued loving fellowship with one another and the God-kind [Agape] of love that GOD has so generously given.

Thank you in the name of The Lord Jesus Christ [Anointed Messiah] for His sake and by His Grace, All Glory to Him.
Your brother in Christ,
John Michael

GOD’S PROVIDENCE
God provides for His work. We are grateful for His unfailing Love and Provision.

The Apostle Paul’s gratitude and blessing of the Philippian believers when he was being held in the Thessalonican jail are recorded in the New Testament book of Philippians. We reflect and radiate the same gratitude to God for the blessing of abounding fruit to those that supported Paul in his ministry. Look at Paul’s words:
…I desire “fruit that may abound to your [their] account. Philippians 4:17

"For even in Thessaloni'ca [where I was jailed] ye sent once and again unto my necessity. Not because I desire a gift: but I desire fruit that may abound to your account.

Philippians 4:17. But I have all, and abound: I am full, having received of Epaphroditus the things which were sent from you, a sweet fragrance, a sacrifice acceptable, well-pleasing to God. 19 But my God shall supply all your need according to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus.

20 Now unto God and our Father be glory for ever and ever. Amen

But I know that my God shall supply all your need according to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus. Philippians 4:17-19. Now unto God and our Father be glory for ever and ever. Amen.

Salute every saint in Christ Jesus. The brethren which are with me greet you. All the saints salute you, chiefly they that are of *Caesar’s household [under the authority of Cesar]. “The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all. Amen.”
Philippians 4:20-23

* Not only were new converts won to the truth in Caesar's household, but after their conversions they remained there. They did not feel at liberty to abandon their duty posts merely because their surroundings were no longer congenial [comfortable]. They decided to remain, out of their comfort zone, and to testify of the transforming power of their new faith in Jesus Christ. The truth had found them there, and there they would remain, continuing as born-again fully committed followers of Jesus Christ.

DR. ROBERT G. LEE, former pastor of Bellevue Baptist Church in Memphis Tennessee is recorded here, preaching the remarkably inspired SERMON
“Pay Day Someday” (Click Here) 75 minutes

He preached this message over 1,000 times to over a million people resulting in many being drawn to confess and repent [turn away from] their sins, and to look to Christ Jesus, and Him alone for eternal life, and to confess Him publicly to be their Savior and Lord as they were moved by the Holy Ghost.

Dr. Lee preached from The Formal Equivalent (Literal / word-for-word) Providentially Preserved and Protected, Everlasting WORD of GOD, The 1769 Edition of The Authorized, Authoritative King James Bible: The Inspired [God Breathed], Immutable! [never will be changed], inerrant and Infallible [incapable of error].

DAILY SPURGEON and DEVOTION for October 31st *A.D. 2026 written and calendared by Charles Spurgeon.

King James the First of England Approved, Authorized, Commissioned and provided the leadership to create a new version of the Bible. This new Bible translation was directed by the King to be based on the existing Bishop’s Bible (The Bishop’s Bible consists of The Old Testament copied from the ancient Hebrew [Masoretic] text. The meticulous work of preserving and copying the ancient Hebrew text was done by the faithful Masoretes. Their core mission was to safeguard the original Hebrew Scriptures [The Tanakh / Old Testament] so that its meaning, pronunciation and accuracy would never be lost.

The Priest / Scribe ultimate biblical model for this role is Ezra 7:12 “Ezra the Priest, the scribe of the law”.

The Traditional [original, Received Greek Text] The Textus Receptus is the Master text from which the King James translation of the New Testament is taken. The King James Version of 1769 is Providentially preserved and protected and is the most authoritative and most quoted, and most read Bible version ever. It has circulated over 6 Billion copies. This is more than all the other versions and editions Combined and has become the Most Influential, faithful and best Bible ever.

The NEW King James version is inferior to the [OLD 1769] King James Bible.

__________________________________________

DR. JEFF RIDDLE brings to light the Case that the Traditional Text, also known as The Received Text, [The Textus Receptus, TR] ARE THE PROVIDENTIALY PRESERVED, IMMUTABLE, INSPRED Words of GOD.

THE TESTIMONY OF CHARLES SPURGEON'S CONVERSION IN HIS OWN WORDS. (Click here)
______________________________________________

—*A.D. does NOT mean “After Death”.
Rather, it abbreviates Anno Domini;
… a Latin phrase adopted into English that means:
“Year of our Lord."
______________________________________________

Does BC/AD versus BCE/CE really matter? …YES. IT DOES!
Defend the Truth. Stand against the attempt to mislead, Won’t you? ...More
The new terms are meaningless because BCE and CE still denote the exact number of years in relationship to the birth in Bethlehem of Jesus Christ [The Anointed Messiah].

Dr. Michael Nazir-Ali, the former Bishop of Rochester, says: 'This amounts to the dumbing down of the Christian basis of our culture, language and history. These changes are unnecessary and they don't achieve the BBC’s objective [of wiping out any mention of or reference to Jesus Christ, His birth or His life]. ’

'Whether you use “Common Era, CE” or “Anno Domini, AD”, the date is actually still exactly the same and the reference point is still the birth of [Jesus] Christ.

DR. DOUG LEVESQUE presents a Historical account to show why we should not rely on the more than 1,100 dumbed- down English translations translated from the CRITICAL TEXT; An Inferior text cobbled together by self-appointed men that follow Satan’s questioning words in the Garden of Eden:
“Hath God Said ?”

Bridge to Babylon The 1881 Textual Criticism Controversy (Click Here)
(169 minutes. Video Documentary)
“Bridge to Babylon” is an exceptionally thoughtful Treatise of the explosion of over 1,100 English translations of the Bible. An expose of the continuous attempts to replace the Traditional 1769 King James Version of God’s Holy, Inspired, Inerrant, Infallible and Immutable Bible. All Attempts have failed and will continue to do so because GOD Himself providentially preserves and protects His Inspired, Inerrant and Immutable [God Breathed/Spoken] Words from all heresy, blasphemy, confusion, error and misinterpretation .

Over six Billion (1769) King James Bibles establish it as the most widely printed, read and distributed book in human history. This is more than all other translations put together and it continues to be the most quoted and most read Bible ever.

A Memorial Honoring the Memory of John Michael’s *Dad:

The last words, spoken by John Michael’s beloved Daddy.

Charles Dumah Riley, Sr. (AKA: *Daddy, "CD", and Paw Paw) 1897 – 1987

JM witnessed the last few hours of his *Daddy’s life on earth coming to an end and heard him say only “Amen” over and over, in the belief that he was affirming and agreeing with God’s will in the conclusion of his own life’s and giving a testimony of God’s goodness to him and his agreement and his surrender to his earthly departure to be eternally present with the Lord Jesus.

Amen... Amen… and Amen!

My Daddy’s standard prayer before every meal, was always offered with all gravity, reverence and always heard in the unique sound of his deep Bass prayer voice:

“Accept our thanks for these and all other blessings, we humbly ask in Thy name, Amen.”

Discerning between The Holy Ghost and the spirit of the Antichrist and false teachers:

Is this Website from God? and therefore trustworthy?

God says in His WORD to try every spirit to determine whether they are of God, and therefore to be believed or whether they are from the antichrist and must not be belived.

1 John 4:1-3

Chapter 4
1Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try [test] the spirits whether they are of God, because many false prophets are gone out into the world. 2 Hereby know ye [by this you all [will] know the Spirit of God: Every spirit that confesseth [confesses] that Jesus Christ is come [is here] in the flesh is of God: 3 and every spirit that confesseth not [doesn’t confess] that Jesus Christ is come [is here] in the flesh is not of God: and this is that spirit of antichrist, whereof [of which] ye [you all] have heard that it should come; and even now already is it in the world.

Therefore, Daily Spurgeon’s Website must hereby confess that

"Jesus Christ is come [is here] in the flesh!” as the Body, The Bride of Christ; of His Church.

PRAYER 14, Part 1 of 8 October 31st BLESS THE LORD, O MY SOUL!

LORD, we are longing to draw near; may Thy [Your] Spirit draw us near. We come by the way of Christ [The Messiah] our Mediator. We could not approach Thee [You], O our God, if it were not for Him, but in Him we come boldly to the throne of heavenly grace. Nor can we come without thanksgiving — thanksgiving from the heart, such as the tongue can never express. Thou hast [You have] chosen us from before the foundation of the world, and this well-head of mercy sends forth streams of loving-kindness never ceasing. Because we were chosen we have been redeemed with precious blood [the matchless , holy blood of Jesus]. Bless the Lord! And we have been called by the Holy Spirit out of the world, and we have been led to obey that wondrous call which hath quickened [enlivened] us and renewed us, and made us the people of God, given us adoption into the Divine Family. Bless the Lord! [I pray this in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ, Amen.]

Attachment PRAYER 14.doc)

ANECDOTE 91: October 31st PERSEVERANCE.

How do I know the winner at the footrace? There are the spectators, and there are the runners. What strong men ! what magnificent muscles ! what thews [brawn] and sinews! Yonder [there] is the goal; and there it is that I must judge who is the winner: not here, at the starting-point; for “They which run in a race run all, but one receiveth [only one receives] the prize.” I may select this one, or that other person, as likely to win, but I cannot be absolutely sure until the race is over. There they fly [GET SET, GO]! See how they press forward, with straining muscles! But one has tripped, another faints, a third is out of breath, and others are far behind. One only wins and who is he? Why, [well] he who continued to the end. So I may gather from the analogy, which Paul constantly allows us, from the ancient games, that only he who continueth [continues] till he reaches the goal may be accounted a Christian at all. A ship starts on a voyage to Australia: if it stops at Madeira, or returns after reaching the Cape, would you consider that it ought to be called an emigrant ship for New South Wales? It must go the whole voyage, or it does not deserve the name. A man has begun to build a house, and has erected one side of it: do you consider him a builder if he stops there, and fails to cover it in or to finish the other walls? Do we give men praise for being warriors because they know how to make one desperate charge, but lose the campaign [war]?

Have we not, of late, smiled at the boasting dispatches of commanders, in fights where both combatants fought with valor, and yet neither of them had the common sense to push on to reap the victory? What was the very strength of Wellington, but that, when a triumph had been achieved, he knew how to reap the harvest which had been sown in blood? And he only is a true conqueror, and shall be crowned at the last, who continueth [continues] till war’s trumpet is blown no more. It is with a Christian as it was with the great Napoleon: he said, “Conquest has made me what I am, and conquest must maintain me.” So, under God, conquest has made you what you are, and conquest must sustain you. Your motto must be, “ Excelsior;” [still higher] or, if it be not, you have not learned the noble spirit of God’s princes.

FAITH’S CHECKBOOK October 31st IMMORTAL TILL WORK DONE
by C.H. Spurgeon 1834 to 1892

-I shall not die, but live, and declare the works of the Lord - Psalm118:17

-No moriré, sino que viviré, Y contare las obras de JAH. [JEHOVAH] - Salmos 118:17

A fair assurance this! It was no doubt based upon a promise, inwardly whispered in the Psalmist’s heart, which he seized upon and enjoyed. Is my case like that of David? Am I depressed because the enemy affronts me? Are there multitudes against me, and few on my side? Does unbelief bid me [request that I] lie down and die in despair … a defeated, dishonored man? Do my enemies begin to dig my grave? What then? Shall I yield to the whisper of fear, and give up the battle, and with it give up all hope? Far from it. [No way!] There is life in me yet: -I shall not die.- Vigor will return and remove my weakness: -I shall live.- The Lord lives, and I shall live also. My mouth shall again be opened: -I shall declare the works of Jehovah.- Yes, and I shall speak of the present trouble as another instance of the wonder-working faithfulness and love of the Lord my God. Those who would gladly measure me for my coffin had better wait a bit; for -the Lord hath chastened me sore, [severely disciplined me] but he hath not given me over unto death.- Glory be to His name for ever! I am immortal till my work is done. Till the Lord wills it no vault [coffin] can close upon me.

Prayer: Thank You dear Lord that You have given us [Your redeemed people] this promise to live and to declare the works of the Lord. Thank You that you will sustain our life until we have completed the work you have willed us to do. Please help me to be faithful in this work every day I pray in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ, Amen

MORNING October 31st "RENEW A RIGHT SPIRIT WITHIN ME. "—

Psalm 51:10

SING: Create in Me a Clean Heart by Keith Green

"Crea en mí, oh Dios, un corazón limpio; y renueva un espíritu recto dentro de mí¾ Salmos 51:10

A BACKSLIDER, if there be a spark of life left in him, will groan after restoration. In this renewal the same exercise of grace is required as at our conversion. We needed repentance then; we certainly need it now. We wanted faith that we might come to Christ at first; only the same grace can bring us to Jesus now. We wanted a word from the Most High, a word from the lip of the loving One to end our fears then; we shall soon discover, when under a sense of present sin, that we need it now. No man can be renewed without as real and true a manifestation of the Holy Spirit's energy as he felt at first because the work is as great, and flesh and blood are as much in the way now as ever they were.

Let personal weakness, 0 Christian, be an argument to make you pray earnestly to God for help. Remember David, when he felt himself to be powerless, did not fold his arms or close his lips, but he hastened to the mercy seat with "Renew a right spirit within me." Although you, unaided, can do nothing to add to salvation, let not that doctrine [don’t let that teaching] make you sleep; but let it be a goad [a cattle-prod] in your side to drive you with an awful earnestness to Israel's strong Helper. 0 that you may have grace to plead with God, as though you were pleading for your very life, "Lord, renew a right spirit within me." He who sincerely prays to God to do this will prove his honesty by using the means through which God works. Be much in prayer; live much on the Word of God; kill the lusts [Recon yourself dead to sins Romans 6:6] that have driven your Lord from you; be careful to watch over the future uprisings of sin. The Lord has His own appointed ways; sit by the wayside and you will be ready when He passes by. Continue in all those blessed ordinances that will foster and nourish your dying graces; and, knowing that all the power must proceed from Him, cease not to cry, "Renew a right spirit within me."

EVENING October 31st "I DID KNOW THEE IN THE WILDERNESS, IN THE LAND OF GREAT DROUGHT."— Hosea 13:5

—Yo te conocí en el desierto, en tierra seca— Oseas 13:5

YES, Lord, You did indeed know me in my fallen state, and even then You chose me for Yourself. When I was loathsome and self-abhorred [hated myself], You did receive me as Your child, and You did satisfy my craving [my heart-felt] wants. Blessed forever be Your name for this free, rich, abounding mercy. Since then, my inward experience has often been a wilderness; but You have owned [claimed] me still as Your beloved, and poured streams of love and grace into me to gladden me [to cheer me] and make me fruitful. Yes, when my outward circumstances have been at the worst, and I have wandered in a land of drought, Your sweet presence has solaced [comforted] me. Men have not known me when scorn has awaited me, but You have known my soul in adversities, for no affliction dims the luster [brightness] of Your love. Most gracious Lord, I magnify You for all Your faithfulness to me in trying circumstances, and I deplore that I should at any time have forgotten You and been exalted in heart when I have owed all to Your gentleness and love. Have mercy on Your servant [on me] in this thing!
My soul, if Jesus thus acknowledged you in your low estate, be sure that you own both Himself and His cause now that you are in your prosperity. Be not lifted up by worldly successes so as to be ashamed of the truth or of the poor church with which you have been associated. Follow Jesus into the wilderness: bear the cross with Him when the heat of persecution grows hot. He owned [stood up and stands up for and defends you still. HE’s got your back’] You, 0 my soul, in your poverty and shame—never be so treacherous as to be ashamed of Him. 0 for more shame at the thought of being ashamed of my best Beloved! Jesus, my soul cleaves to You.

I'll turn to Thee in days of light, As well as nights of care,

Thou brightest amid all that's bright! Thou fairest of the fair!

A SINNER’S PRAYER

Whosoever shall call on the name of the Lord shall be saved. Acts 2:21

Pray and call on the name of the Lord Jesus.

Pray like this, won’t you? :

“Lord Jesus, I’m a lost sinner hopeless without You. I would never be able to save myself. Without your death on the cross to pay my sin debt I would be condemned to spend eternity condemned in Hell. By nature and practice I am a natural-born sinner. I’m totally depraved and I sin because I am a sinner. Please forgive me.

I realize that doing my best or being as good as possible, or being better than other people or having good excuses can never save me.
I look to You, alone Lord Jesus to save me.
I call on You, by name, Lord Jesus, right now to save me. You died on the cross in my place to pay for my sin. Your Word says, “It shall come to pass that whosoever shall call on the name of the Lord shall be saved. Acts 2:21. Thank You, Lord.

Right now, I surrender my sinful self to You, just as I am, Lord Jesus. I trust You to forgive me and save me and be my Lord and Savior.
Please forgive me for all my sins. I’m sorry for every sin (bad thoughts, words and things I have done) and look to You to forgive me of them all. I need your strength to overcome sin’s temptations. Thank you for forgiving me.
You paid the price for all of my sins by dying on the cross.

Thank you Lord Jesus that You loved me and died for me before I was born and that You love me still.

Thank you Heavenly Father that You have made the way of redemption, forgiveness and atonement for me and have drawn me away from sin and death into Life in Your only begotten son. He took my place and suffered my punishment.

Thank You, Heavenly Father that you raised Jesus from the dead. He is ALIVE and in Him we are victorious over sin, death and the grave. In Christ Jesus there is therefore now no condemnation.

Thank You for saving me heavenly Father and for sending the Holy Spirit for my guidance, comfort and solemn instruction into all truth, Amen.”

With all my heart, I thank you Lord Jesus for saving me. In your name, Lord Jesus I pray, Amen.

Please allow us to celebrate your new birth with the angels in heaven who are celebrating right now. Please e-mail or write to: The John Mark Publishing Company, PO BOX 21, San Juan Capistrano, CA 92693, U.S.A. or e-mail:

Sing: This Little Light of Mine Children’s Chorus by JAMJAR Sing-along won’t you? This PRAISE music came to mind from today’s ANECDOTE.

Better [to] have two lights than only one. The light of creation is a bright light. God may be seen in the stars; his name is written in gilt letters on the brow of night; you may discover his glory in the ocean waves, yea, in the trees of the field; but it is better to read it in two books than in one.

____________________________________________________

David Hocking (click here) enlightens us with historical facts that make viewing the case for the OLD KING JAMES VERSION; time well spent.

You will find it here [in the Bible] more clearly revealed; for he has written this book himself, and he has given you the key to understand it, through the Holy Spirit. Ah, beloved, let us thank God for this Bible; let us love it; let us count it more precious than much fine gold.

[The Authorized immutable King James Version, (AKJV) used by Charles Spurgeon is
God’s preserved, and protected inerrant and immutable Word.

David Hocking makes the case for the Protected translation of the Bible, and points out the textual errors of “Critical Text” and the erroneous Theory followed by all modern English translations due to Westcott and Hort’s inferior Greek Translation of the New Testament. Text that follows incomplete and conflicting Greek manuscripts rather than the coherent and reliable Traditional Text [Received Text (Textus Receptus)] for the New Testament and the Masoretic Hebrew Text for the New and Old Testament respectively of the Authorized King James Bible.

“The Bible, The Whole Bible and Nothing but the Bible” is an expression David Hocking expresses often.

Our society today knows so little about almighty God, having willfully shut Him out of all consideration. But look, says the Bible, at His attributes, ways and plans. Consider the uniqueness of God and compare His actions, plans and promises with those of human society.

Ephesians 5:18-19

I Will Sing The Wondrous Story

Blessed Assurance

The Love of God Bill Gaither with Choir

I Love You Lord by Jared Reynolds
In loving memory of Jon Edward Riley (1971-2021) who would sometimes just bust-out singing this beautiful praise; often, on the way to church with his Dad.

…“Later” [see-ya later] was how he always said farewell … he would never say “good-bye”. Remembering how Jon always said “Later” brings a special joy to those he loved so well. … and brings to mind the promise of the song:

’Till We Meet Again. By Jeremiah Rankin (1880) with Antrim Mennonite Choir

Amen.

FEATURED SERMON:

From The Metropolitan Tabernacle (C.H. Spurgeon 1834-1892)
Duty and Fruits of Brotherly Love 1 John 4:7 with Dr. Peter Masters

From the warning against false teachers, the apostle turns again to the great duty of love to fellow believers, providing fourteen compelling reasons (with benefits) for honoring this obligation. Here love is defined, its actions and activities listed, and the reasons surveyed.

Do Muslims and Christians Worship the Same God? NO! (Click HERE to find out why.)

The natural will is cold, hard iron, which cannot be hammered into form, but the renewed will, like molten metal, is soon molded by the hand of [God’s] grace. In the fleshy heart there is a tenderness of the affections.

The hard heart does not love the Redeemer, but the renewed heart burns with affection towards Him. The hard heart is selfish and coldly demands, "Why should I weep for sin? Why should I love the Lord?"

But the heart of flesh says;
"Lord, You know that I love You; help me to love You more!"

Many are the privileges of this renewed heart; " 'Tis [It is] here the [Holy] Spirit dwells, 'tis here that Jesus rests. " It is fitted to receive every spiritual blessing, and every blessing comes to it. It is prepared to yield every heavenly fruit to the honor and praise of God, and therefore the Lord delights in it.

A tender heart is the best defense against sin, and the best preparation for heaven. A renewed heart stands on its watchtower [on guard] looking for the coming of the Lord Jesus.

Have you [Do you have] this heart of flesh?

[Pray and Ask for it now, won’t you?]

THE INFERIOR CRITICAL TEXT:

The Incomplete and unsealed codices of Sinaiticus and Vaticanus do not pretend to be majority texts, [Original Masoretic Hebrew and the Greek Textus Receptus]. Sinaiticus and Vaticanus present variant, ambiguous and erroneous readings rather than that of the well-established and settled texts. They disagree often with one another as well as with the settled majority texts. Thus, an attempt to create a pretext that will continue to justify a never-ending demand for additional editions and interpretations. These unsettled differences and bias in certain sectarian doctrine [dogma] have led to the production of multiple “modern” editions with ambiguities, many variant readings and confusion from the explosion of unending, new editions.

Profit-driven publishers have embraced such an economic windfall to sell a continual flow of “new and better” English edition of The Bible. They give too little attention to the fidelity and accuracy already settled [in heaven] in majority manuscripts of the Masoretic Hebrew and the Greek Textus Receptus.

Psalm 119:89-90

ל Lamed

89 Forever, O LORD, thy word is settled in heaven.

90 Thy faithfulness is unto all generations:

thou hast established the earth, and it abideth [abides].

God, Himself, providentially protects and preserves His Word. His Word is the God-breathed, self-authenticating, immutable [unchanging and unchangeable], eternal, inerrant, infallible, infinite and all-powerful Word, settled in heaven. GOD is not the author of confusion.

1 Corinthians 14:33

WHO IS THE GOD OF THE BIBLE?
by David Hocking

WHAT ARE HIS NAMES?

(1 One) His Name is INCOMPREHENSIBLE!

Exodus 3:13-15 “13 And Moses said unto God, Behold, when I come unto the children of Israel, and shall say unto them, The God of your fathers hath sent me unto you; and they shall say to me, What is his name? what shall I say unto them? 14 And God said unto Moses, I AM THAT I AM: and he said, Thus shalt thou say unto the children of Israel, I AM hath sent me unto you. 15 And God said moreover unto Moses, Thus shalt thou say unto the children of Israel, The Lord God of your fathers, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob, hath sent me unto you: this is my name for ever, and this is my memorial unto all generations.”

Isaiah 9:6 For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given:
and the government shall be upon his shoulder:
and his name shall be called Wonderful,
Counsellor, The Mighty God, The Everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace.

Psalm 139:6

Authorized (King James) Version

6 Such knowledge is too wonderful for me;
it is high, I cannot attain unto it.”

(2 Two) His Name is INFINITE!

Psalm 145:1-3
1 I will extol thee, my God, O king;
and I will bless thy name for ever and ever.
2 Every day will I bless thee;
and I will praise thy name for ever and ever.

3 Great is the Lord, and greatly to be praised;
and his greatness is unsearchable.

Romans 11:33
33 O the depth of the riches both of the wisdom and knowledge of God! how unsearchable are his judgments, and his ways past finding out!

(3 Three) His Name is INCORRUPTABLE!

(two issues: holy and eternal)

Psalm 72:17
“His name shall be continued as long as the sun: and men shall be blessed in Him: all nations shall call Him blessed.”

Psalm 135:13
Thy Name, O LORD endureth for ever; and Thy memorial, O LORD, throughout all generations.”
Psalm 145:21
“Let all flesh bless His holy Name for ever and ever.”

(4 Four) His name is IMMUTABLE! [Unchanged and unchangeable]

Malachi 3:6
“For I am the LORD, I change not.”

Hebrews 6:18
That by two immutable things, in which it was impossible for God to lie, we might have (1) a strong consolation, who have fled for refuge to lay hold upon (2) the hope set before us.”

(5 Five) His name is INCOMPARABLE! [Without Equal]

Deuteronomy 4:35
“Unto thee it was shewed, that thou mightiest know that the LORD He is God; there is none else beside Him.”

Deuteronomy 4:39
Know therefore this day, and consider it in thine heart, that the Lord he is God in heaven above, and upon the earth beneath: there is none else.

(6 Six) His Name is INDESCRIBABLE! [No description adequately describes HIM]

El, Eloah, Elyon, Elohim, Adon, Adonai, - Yah, Yahveh
(The Names for GOD used 10,952 times in the Bible!)
____________________________________

To Abraham – His Name is El Shaddai [God Almighty, Abundant Provider, Provider of More than Enough]

Genesis17:1 ,

Why Cults, False Teachers and Heretics have tried to delete 1 John 5:7

Why The Traditional Greek Text Also Known As The Received Text [Latin: Textus Receptus] TR is Inspired, Inerrant and Immutable.

By Dr. David Sorenson

In addition to overwhelming evidence of authenticity from the 5,321 Majority Text Greek manuscripts, this link gives Translational Evidence that proves the age of the Textus Receptus to be older than the Codices Sinaiticus, Vaticanus and Alexandrus.
(Inferior Greek sources used in Critical Text translations.)

This includes Westcott and Hort, Nestle and Aland and the Codices Sinaiticus and *Vaticanus.

*The final Greek Text so deemed, authorized and sanctioned by the Catholic Church and The Vatican.

The Lord Jesus *Christ [The*Anointed Messiah]

was supernaturally Fathered by the Holy Ghost, and born of a teen-aged virgin girl named Mary 2026 years ago in Bethlehem of Judea.

He was crucified, and His lifeless body was placed in a tomb. After three days, GOD brought Him back to life again, and raised HIM from the dead victorious over sin, death and the grave.

He is GOD’S Incarnate WORD and Everlasting SACRIFICE, The LAMB of GOD, [THE WORD of GOD made flesh.] The CHURCH is the BODY of *Christ,
*[The MESSIAH.]

[The CHURCH] is His espoused [Legally Obligated] Bride, for whom HE will come again to consummate the Marriage in the Marriage Supper of the Lamb in the Preserved and Protected Words of GOD.
These WORDS are God-Breathed, [Spoken] Eternal WORDS spoken by Almighty GOD. The same GOD who calls Himself “I AM”, is Omni-Lingual, Omnipotent, Omniscient, Immutable, All-Wise, Omnipresent, Eternally and Supremely Holy. He is the One-and-Only Triune, Three-in-One GOD.

“I and my Father are one”. John 10:30

________________________________

1 John 5:7 Is the fundamental scriptural basis for the doctrine and essential tenet of the Trinity. [The Triune, [Three-in-One] GOD in-Three Persons (This verse has been omitted or Changed to diminish the authority and the Person of the Lord Jesus Christ or has been Removed entirely from all Critical Text translations by apostates that hold to the untenable goal of False Doctrine that gives rise to all manner of Cults, False Teaching, Heresies, false Prophets, Agnostics, Gnostics, Atheists and Pagans.

Therefore, The incarnate WORD of GOD, [Jesus *Christ
(*The Anointed MESSIAH) and His Father are ONE.] John 10:30

7 For there are three that bear record in heaven, the Father, the Word, [Jesus Christ] and the Holy Ghost: and
THESE THREE ARE ONE. John 10:30

8 And there are three that bear witness in earth, the Spirit, [Holy Ghost] and the Water [Life of the Father], and the Blood; [The Sacrificial Blood of Jesus Christ]: and these three AGREE IN ONE. 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, [The LORD Jesus *Christ
*(The Anointed Messiah)].

GOD calls Himself “I AM” and Jesus Christ is The WORD made Flesh, GOD’s WORD is infinite and will endure FOREVER, from Eternity Past through the never-ending Eternal Future.

The Traditional Text: It's History & Manifestation

By Dr. David Sorenson

In addition to evidence of authenticity from the 5,321 Majority Text manuscripts, this link presents Translational Evidence that the Traditional Text is Inerrant, Infallible and is the Inspired [Word-by-Word, GOD-Breathed Greek Text that moved the Prophets and Apostles to write precisely the Greek and Hebrew words they were told to write by the Holy Ghost]

The Traditional Text. Length: (33:56 minutes)

The Traditional Greek Text was printed, not written by Desiderius Erasmus and was used in the FIRST Christian Church at Antioch. It was later called The Received Text [vis. Latin: The Textus Receptus TR].

Over Five Billion King James (1769 Edition) Bibles, [NOT the NEW King James Version which is based on the inferior Critical Greek Text] account for more sales world-wide than all other version or edition of the Holy Bible combined.

This is more than all other Bible Versions and Editions put-together.
______________________________________

The Critical Text vs. The Traditional Text
(Also Known As The Received Text , The Textus Receptus TR , and The Authorised Version AV and AKJV)

By Dr. David Sorenson

…So, Dr. Sorenson, “I hear You are King James Only.”

No, I’m Traditional Text only. But if you come to the view and the conviction of being Traditional Text only, you will be Only King James.

The issue is not translational.

Marketing ploys by publishing companies with little basis in reality would have us to believe that the new versions are:

Easier to read.
More modern.
More accurate (Not true)

The truth is that the KJV remains The most popular. (is still the most popularly read Bible in America). Over five billion copies of the King James (1769) is greater than all the other versions and editions combined.

The issue comes down to the textual issue. By That, I refer to the underlying Greek text. I guess we could say texts, plural but particularly that of the New Testament. On the one hand is the Traditional Text from which the only major English translation is the King James Version of the Bible. The Traditional Text.

On the other hand, is the Critical Text sometimes called the eclectic text from whence all the other translations come. And some will say well there really is no difference between them. The difference you could amount to is just the footnotes in the bottom of a page. (This is Not true) He was not dishonest but just repeating what someone had told him.

A PRAYER OF GRATITUDE: (Tribute to the BRAVE) by Jon Edward Riley,

(February 12, 1971- January16, 2021)

From an Indigenous, Irish, well beloved All-American son giving a prayer of gratitude to the Lord for a “ Heart of Freedom”

INDIAN SCOUT POST NO 1 Burial grounds at White Shield, North Dakota.

… a compassionate prayer of gratitude, thanking the Lord for the Military Service of Native-American Scouts serving the United States of America. …the land of the free and the home of the Brave.

Jon loved to say, “I’m a blood bought, born-again child of God!” to anyone he happened to meet.

… Jon’s testimony is from one who, by grace through faith was forever accepted in the Beloved; who’s loving ways brought the good news of Jesus to many. and one who is present with the LORD in glory forever. One with whom we’ll one day meet again.

Amen.

Jon would sometimes just sing-out some of the following songs on the way to church, or sometimes just singing along with the Elvis Gospel CD that was always in our F-150’s CD player while riding with his Dad or,

Best of all, when an inspired, spontaneous praise from the Lord would just pop out from his joyful and loving heart.

ORIGINAL SACRED LITERATURE:
The Pilgrim’s Progress, by John Bunyan

Beginning at its original publication in 1678 it has NEVER been out of print.

"All the flowers in God's garden are double." There is no single mercy. You may think you have but one mercy, but you shall find it to be a whole cluster of mercies. It is abounding mercy. Millions have received it, yet far from its being exhausted, it is as fresh, as full, and as free as ever.

It is unfailing mercy. It will never leave you. If mercy is your friend, mercy will be with you in temptation to keep you from yielding; with you in trouble to prevent you from sinking; with you [in] living to be the light and life of your countenance; and with you [in] dying to be the joy of your soul when earthly comfort is ebbing fast [slipping away].

You may want to read the daily selections as a bed time story for you and your little ones. .

It’s the world’s most famous allegory and is the all-time, world-wide best seller second only to the Bible. Some believe it to be the world’s first novel written in English.

It will bless, encourage and instruct pilgrims (readers and seekers) of all ages for a life-time.

My Lord “Will-be-will” [Mr. Self-will] is a great blusterer, [one who roars loudly with empty threats, menaces or protests] and it is hard to subject him to God's will; but when the heart of flesh is given, the will quivers like an aspen leaf in every breath of heaven, and bows like a willow in every breeze of God's Spirit.

Mr. Self-will is a personification in The Pilgrim’s Progress

(The world’s most widely read and most famous Allegory written by John Bunyan in 1678 and has NEVER been out of print.)
