All Are Sinners. In this book of Ephesians, Paul made it very clear that every human being is a sinner. In fact, they are all "dead in trespasses and sins." (Ephesians 2:1)All Must Be Saved. Since all are sinners and "dead in trespasses and sins," all must be saved. Paul differed with the liberals and apostates of our day who say that all are saved and will go to God's heaven. God's salvation cannot be accomplished by our "works." It is only by God's "grace" that people can be saved, "through faith" in the Lord Jesus Christ (Ephesians 2:8-9).All Saved Should Serve. Though none can be saved by their "good works," once saved, all should serve the Lord by "good works" which God has "ordained that we should walk in them" (Ephesians 2:10). Though we cannot serve God to be saved, once we are saved, we should serve the Lord with willing hearts and with "good works."

Concerning the destructive critics of the 20th century, Pastor Andrews said""It is painfully evident that the recent attempts to meet the long-felt difficulties in the Old Testament, historic and other, by minimizing the knowledge of God possessed by Israel, have tended rather to undermine the faith of Christians than to confirm it…. "It is also more and more evident that the same uncertainty is beginning to be felt in regard to the truthfulness of the New Testament, and especially of the historic Gospels. Here we are told, that as we find by critical inquiry, much was attributed to Moses that was not his, so much was attributed to Christ which He never did or taught. It is the pious imagination of the second century that presents Him to us as He now appears. When all errors are eliminated, and we get down to exact history, both Old and New Testaments will be reduced to much smaller dimensions, and make lees demands upon our faith; and we may safely say, also, that increasing numbers will care less and less for them." This is the case among academics and far too many pastorates and congregations. Hopefully, this book will help some to return to faith in "the old book," a faith lost around the world.H. D. Williams, M.D., Ph.D.

Written in 1898, this book is an encouragement to many of us who are "[l]ooking for that blessed hope, and the glorious appearing of the great God and our Saviour Jesus Christ." (Titus 2:13) T. A. McMahon said in the Berean Call:Although I have been addressing at times over the last few years specific aspects of the coming world religion, it's a great encouragement to have those whom I respect in the Lord confirm my writings on the subject. One of those friends told me to read a book that he believed would be of further encouragement. I got it and read it. To use one of Dave Hunt's favorite expressions: "Wow!" That would have been his response, without a doubt. The book is what I would call a "pre-confirmation," meaning it confirms what we've been describing regarding the Apostasy with this amazing distinction: It was written in 1898!

The 1526 Tyndale New Testament is a reprint from the "Rare Book Archive" of Dr. David L. Brown's Biblical Heritage Archive Collection. William Tyndale (1492? - 1536) played a monumental role in the establishment of the Authorized Version of 1611 (i.e., King James Bible). He was the first to translate Erasmus's Greek New Testament (NT) into English and then provided the world with the first printed English NT. He stands as the greatest of all English biblical scholars. While his first edition NT was published in 1526, his second revised and corrected NT was published in 1534, two years before he was martyred. Tyndale also completed the Hebrew-to-English translation for 15 of 39 books in the Old Testament, including the Pentateuch. Tyndale published the first edition of his English New Testament in 1526. Only two full copies have survived, both pocket size. It is believed there were 3,000 printed in Worms by Peter Schoeffer. The British Library bought the copy owned by Bristol Baptist College for 1 million pounds, declaring Tyndale's New Testament as "the most important printed book in the English language." The second complete copy of Tyndale's 1526 New Testament was discovered in November of 1996 at the Wurttembergische Landesbibliothek (a state library) in Stuttgart, Germany. This German copy has a title page, which is missing in the British library copy. Apparently, the German library's director, Eberhard Zwink, was overseeing the library data transfer from hand-written hard copy records to computerized records. During this transition process, Zwink realized that one of the library's holdings was actually a 1526 New Testament by Tyndale. Taken together, several research studies indicate that 83% - 90% of the King James Bible (1611, Authorized Version) can be traced to Tyndale's English translation work; specific findings suggest that 83% of the NT and 76% of the OT in the King James Bible is Tyndale's translation (The Bible in English by David Daniell, Yale University Press; The King James Version Defended by Edward Hills, Christian Research Press).Within his small New Testament are words and phrases which have gone on to influence the world, and continue to do so today. A surprising number of Tyndale's phrases are still in common use today, including: 'under the sun', 'eat, drink and be merry', 'signs of the times', 'the salt of the earth', 'let there be light', 'my brother's keeper', 'lick the dust', 'fall flat on his face', 'the land of the living', 'pour out one's heart', 'the apple of his eye', 'fleshpots', 'go the extra mile', 'the parting of the ways', broken-hearted', 'flowing with milk and honey'.

Those who have fallen into the trap of a "pre" A.D. LXX, a Greek translation of the Old Testament before the incarnation of the Lord Jesus Christ, are primarily Roman Catholic expositors. Now they are promoting yet another a false claim. Specifically, they claim the chronology in the mystical Septuagint, the LXX, is more accurate than the Traditional Masoretic Text as accurately and faithfully translated into the King James Version. After reading this work, perhaps you will conclude as I have that so much of this farce is false and shameful. Dr. Chris Sherbrune said: "Virtually the only historical evidence for a BC Greek Old Testament called the "Septuagint" (= seventy man or seventy day translation, depending on the legend followed) is "The Letter of Aristeas" found in a highly spurious, non-canonical collection of writings called "The Forgotten Books of Eden." The Zondervan Preface to their Septuagint call Aristeas a "fable." The Encyclopedia of Religion and Ethics (p. 308) calls it a "manifest forgery." Notable Old Testament scholar Paul Kahle calls Aristeas "propaganda." Internally there are many factual errors in "Aristeas," such as: "Demetrious was never the royal librarian, and he died long before Alexandria's naval Victory…" (Thackeray, THE LETTER OF ARISTEAS). The letter tells of a conversation between Demetrious and Theodektes, but Theodektes died before Demetrius was born, and the letter itself is [tentatively] dated some 200 years later than the supposed 300 BC translation of the Old Testament into Greek, (The International Standard bible Encyclopedia, p. 2924."

A public domain book is one that was never subject to copyright or whose legal copyright term has expired. We realize it will not be popular among some ministers of the Bible and Gospel because of its antiquity, but for those who take the time to read it, a reward lies ahead. Some marks, notations and other marginalia present in the original volume will appear in this book -a reminder of this book's long journey from the original publisher to a library and finally to you. As many stray marks as possible were removed. Dean Burgon was one of the most successful defenders of the KJB and its underlying text, the Received Text (TR), and is revered by many. Dean Goulburn, said: "…in studying Dean Burgon's character and career, has found him to be in every way too large a man to be adequately portrayed on a very small canvass. While the name of person of less note, who yet may have established a claim to be gratefully remembered by those who come after them, are sufficiently preserved from oblivion by a Memoir, there are those, surely, whose intellectual and moral pre-eminence, and whose manifoldness of gift and power, challenge a life…His friends claim for Dean Burgon that, in regard of the variety and versatility of his intellectual powers, the intensity of his moral faculties, and that profound veneration for the Word of God which formed the chief feature both of his spiritual character and of his teaching, he showed a pre-eminence among the men of his generation, which abundantly entitles him to a Life as distinct from a Memoir. The outline of his character, not to be traced, will, ti is hoped, serve to justify this claim. The first character, then, in which, when his name is mentioned, John William Burgon is thought of, is that of a theologian… But I must pass from his intellectual gifts to speak of the faculties of a more moral cast, in which he was equally versatile." (pp. 341 349) (see pp 396 - 400 a calendar of the flood)The appendices alone are worth the cost of the book because they are Dean Burgon's explanation of: Excepts from the Notes and Memoranda on Shakespeare The Raising of Jairus' Daughter, a Prophetic History Calendar of the Flood

The Bodily Resurrection of the Lord Jesus Christ Is Doubted By Many Today. Though doubted by many so-called Pastors in many churches of the U.S.A. and around the world, it is clearly taught in 1 Corinthians 15 and elsewhere in the New Testament. The Angel Of The Lord Was A Witness. When the two Mary's came to Christ's tomb early on the first day of the week, the angel of the Lord told them "He is not here: for He is risen . . . come, see the place where the Lord lay" (Matthew 28:6). More Than "500 Brethren at once" Were Also Witnesses. (1 Corinthians 15:6). Many of those brethren were still alive when Paul wrote the book of 1 Corinthians. What greater witness is needed to establish Christ's bodily resurrection? Eleven Apostles Were Witnesses. At the second Sunday evening service, the Lord Jesus Christ appeared before them in the upper room. Even Thomas was there on that occasion though absent the week before. The Apostle Paul Was A Witness. The Lord Jesus Christ appeared to Paul from Heaven when he was on his way to imprison Christians at Emmaus. Paul asked "Who art thou, Lord?" The Lord Jesus Christ replied, "I am Jesus Whom thou persecutest." (Acts 9:5).

Dean Burgon was one of the most successful defenders of the KJB and its underlying text, the Received Text (TR), and he is revered by many.The work is by Edward Meyrick Goulburn, D.D., D.C.L. Dean of Norwhich who said: "Burgon was in this country the leading religious teacher of his time, who brought all the resources of genius and profound theological learning to rebut the encroachments of Rationalism, by maintaining inviolate the integrity of the written Word of God as the Church has received it; by pointing out its depth, its versatility of application, and absolute inexhaustibility of significance; and by insisting upon it paramount claims to the humble and reverent reception of mankind, as having been "given by Inspiration of God…."By faith we stand" spiritually, And the great object of faith,-the stay and support on which it assures itself in temptation and trial, -is the Word of God."Dean Burgon's works such as "Revision Revised, are second to none for defending the "Traditional Text" upon which stands the King James Bible. Any criticism of his work is worthless if and when his comments are thoroughly understood. His biography is a testimony to his righteousness and virtue. It is no wonder that God chose this man to defend His Words against the apostate in this age. .His other works include "The Pastoral Office," "The Causes of Corruption of the Traditional Text, Vol 2," "the Last Twelve Verses of Mark," "Inspiration and Interpretation," The Traditional Text," "Revision Revised," as well as many articles and sermons. He was Dean of Chichester and the religious leader of his age. Stray marks are a result of the antiquity of the work

This book is about clear Biblical statements correlated with current events around the world and in the headlines. There has been no attempt to sensationalize the present status of the world, but rather to depend upon "Truth" to guide us, including me, in these last days. Jesus declared that believers should be able to discern the signs of the times. (Mt. 16:23)Perhaps, the sensational news that is reported every day has lulled many into a stupor, or else most believe there is so much "fake news," so many deceivers, so much iniquity (selfitis), so many "fake bibles," why should "I" give the future another thought. Whatever the case, discerning the signs of the greatest event in human history just before it happens, is at a low point. Hopefully, reporting on 66 of these signs (six is the number of man in Scripture) will help all of us to remember:Lu 21:28 And when these things begin to come to pass, then look up, and lift up your heads; for your redemption draweth nigh.

The Galatian Problem: The Galatian Christians believed that, though they were saved by God's grace through faith in Christ, they must be sanctified by works through keeping the Law of Moses.The Galatian Solution: Paul's soution to these Galatians was very simple. It was in two parts. (1) Since God had saved them by His grace through faith, they must be sancitified by grace through faith also and not by keeping the Mosaic Law. (2) The Judaizers who were teaching them this error were preaching "another gospel" and were therefore cursed by God. Paul repeated this condemnation two times for emphasis (Galatians 1:8-9)The Galatian Application: We who are saved in the Age of Grace, like the Galatian believers, were saved by God's grace through faith in Christ. We are to be sanctified day by day also by God's grace through faith and dependence upon the power of the Holy Spirit. This means that we are not under any of the three parts of the Mosaic Law. Those who differ with this are preaching "another gospel" and are also under God's curse.

Many books have been written on the subject of how to study the Bible. This method's value is that it teaches the expository method of studying Scripture, which ­focuses on an exegetical investigation of the Bible and shows the individual how to study the Word of God for himself.In using this method of Bible study, you will be researching and gathering material about passages of Scripture. This method will help you to develop a systematic plan to follow in studying the Bible. It centers on completing a work sheet where the information is recorded. In completing the Work Sheet, you will be amass­ing much information about the passage you are studying.The expository method of Bible study seeks to present truths, concepts and principles that are taught by a Scripture passage. God has given us His method of interpretation of His word. God method does not impose a meaning on a passage, but seeks the meaning from the words and gramma of the passage. The basis of true expository Bible study is a thorough "exegesis" of the passage.At the heart of this study is the Biblical truth of the "verbal plenary inspiration" of Scripture. The doctrine of "verbal plenary inspiration" teaches that every word of Scripture is inspired by God. God used human writers who He directed through the Holy Spirit to record His Word. Under the inspiration of the Holy Spirit, they wrote what God wanted said without error. What they wrote, in the original manuscripts was exactly what God wanted to say.

"Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth." (2 Timothy 2:15) The pastor, evangelist, Bible teacher, or simply a Christian who desires to know and serve the Lord better, can greatly benefit from being able to correctly interpret the Bible and then apply it in their lives and the lives of others. No one can apply God's word unless they know it and that begins with an accurate interpretation. God cannot bless His word that is incorrectly interpreted which makes biblical interpretation vital. He has not left us in the dark as to how to interpret His word. The Lord explains "Knowing this first, that no prophecy of the scripture is of any private interpretation." (2 Peter 1:20) Our Creator has given us a precise method that anyone can apply with a little understanding and effort. The purpose of this book is to take the mystery out of interpreting the Bible and to show God's method of interpretation. By applying God's principles of interpretation, a person develops the skills needed to rightly know what God has said. This is letting God interpret His revelation to us. "Biblical Principles of Biblical Interpretation" has been used in several schools and colleges in their Biblical Interpretation courses. It is written on a level that anyone can understand and apply.

Because thou hast kept the word of my patience, I also will keep thee from the hour of temptation, which shall come upon all the world, to try them that dwell upon the earth. Revelation 3:10.One: An hour of temptation is coming. It is an hour in comparison to the ages of general tribulation that have fallen on parts of the earth. It is an hour, only a short time, yet an exceedingly intense time. It contains more tribulation than that of all the previous ages combined.Two: It will be upon all the earth. It will not be in only the "trouble spots" of the earth; the entire earth will feel the full weight of its fury. Three: Those who kept the word of his patience during times of general tribulation will be kept from the time of great tribulation. During these times of general tribulation, faith is exercised to wait in patience for His Return: Be patient therefore, brethren, unto the coming of the Lord. Behold, the husbandman waiteth for the precious fruit of the earth, and hath long patience for it, until he receive the early and latter rain (Jms 5:7).Four: Believers will be kept from (Gr. ek) the terrible hour. They will not go through it, but will be kept from it. This is a key passage demonstrating that the Rapture of believers will take place before the terrible time of trouble. The coming Tribulation is one unit composed of Seven Seals containing Seven Trumpets and Seven Vials. We will not go through any part of it.

The purpose of this book is to make you aware of the dark side of Halloween and show you how the demonic principles and practices are beguiling our children and our culture. I have researched this topic for nearly two decades and there is absolutely no doubt about Halloween's occult connection. Halloween has been the occultists' most effective tool in bewitching America! It has been and is being used by occultists of all stripes to interject their demonic doctrines into our culture.It was 1984 when I released the first printed edition of this book under the title, Halloween: Behind The Mask. It included only 16 pages of information exposing Halloween's occult connection. As a result of that little book, I had the opportunity to present the material in churches, at rallies, in Christian schools and on Christian radio and TV programs. Many people were skeptical at first. To my surprise, some of the most antagonistic people I encountered were pastors and heads of Christian ministries and colleges. Many insisted that I was over reacting and that Halloween was just harmless fun. I must tell you, by and large, that is not the response I am getting today. Indeed "the mask" is off of the unholy day. Witches are out of the "broom closet" and peddling their demonic wares on television, in the newspapers, in the bookstores, and in the public schools. Speaking of the public schools. What is happening in your school district? I get calls from around the nation telling me that the Christian celebrations of Christmas (the birth of Christ) and Easter (the resurrection of Christ) are snubbed, maligned and even expelled from some public schools, but, not the occult holiday of Halloween! That is the public school's biggest holiday. Children are often required to write reports on witchcraft. There are public schools that have even brought in witches to tell about their "wonderful, wholesome" religion. In the public schools, witchcraft is "IN" and Christianity is "OUT." While many Christians are waking up to the dark side of Halloween, Americans in general are increasingly being exposed to occult principles and adopting occult practices. Americans are being bewitched. Now, before I jump too far ahead, let's look at The History, The Heroes and The Harm of Halloween.

Was Codex sinaiticus Written In 1840!What the Newspapers Reported:Worldwide newspaper coverage greeted the 1933 London arrival of Codex Sinaiticus. The following was from the Sidney Morning Herald.CODEX SINAITICUSOn View at Museum.INSPECTED BY 3500 PEOPLE.LONDON, Dec. 27. 1933The Codex Sinaiticus, within a red and gold enamelled box, wrapped in cotton wool and brown paper, arrived at the British Museum this morning.Dr. Bell, Keeper of Manuscripts, spent two hours testing its authenticity, after which it was installed in the entrance hall, where a queue speedily formed. About people inspected the manuscript 3500, of them placing a contribution, sometimes a Treasury note, in the box alongside.Visitors generally were amazed at the wonderful state of its preservation and the clearness of the script. Mr. Ernest Maggs, who negotiated the sale, says: "The at first asked £500,000, but when real discussions commenced the price was reduced to £200,000. At £100,000 it was a wonderful bargain."Sir George Hill, director of the British Museum, says that sentimentally the Codex is beyond the value of the Elgin marbles, Which is placed at £1,500,000.Note the amazement at its "wonderful state of preservation" and it being a "wonderful bargain" at £100.000. That today is about Seven Million Pounds. THEY PAID TOO MUCH ! These are strange days, but for those who believe there are good reasons to hold to the King James Bible and the text upon which it is based, nothing is stranger than the account of a forgotten but now re-emerging debate that took place after the 1844 "discovery" of Codex Sinaiticus. It now appears that the HOUSE OF CARDS upon which the Modern Version Text is based is far weaker than we could have imagined. Unlike other Biblical controversies, much of what we know about this one appeared in the British Press; mainly in 1862 and 1863.J.A. Moorman

APPARENTLY, THIS DISPENSATION OF GRACE IS FAST APPROACHING ITS END. WE ARE DRIFTING FURTHER AND FURTHER AWAY FROM GOD'S TRUTH WHICH IS REVEALED IN HIS HOLY WORD. IN OUR OWN COUNTRY CHRISTIANS ARE ON A GOVERNMENT WATCH LIST AND ARE BEING DISCRIMINATED AGAINST FOR THEIR BELIEFS. OUR HOLY BIBLE (KJV) IS BEING DILUTED AND PRINTED IN MANY (SO CALLED) MORE ACCURATE TRANSLATIONS. MANY PREACHERS HAVE FALLEN INTO SATAN'S TRAP OF SEEKING LARGE NUMBERS RATHER THAN PREACHING THE ENTIRE WORD OF GOD. AS A RESULT, I AM AFRAID THAT MANY PEOPLE HAVE A HEAD KNOWLEDGE OF CHRIST (LOST), BUT NOT A HEART KNOWLEDGE (SAVED). MANY CHRISTIANS TODAY ARE SATISFIED IN KNOWING THEY ARE SAVED AND ARE GOING ABOUT THEIR SELF-SERVING BUSINESS WITH VERY LITTLE DESIRE TO REALLY SERVE GOD OUT OF PURE LOVE FOR HIM. THIS BOOK SELECTS SIX TOPICS OF SCRIPTURE WHICH I BELIEVE WILL ENCOURAGE THOSE WHO READ IT TO SEARCH THE SCRIPTURES FOR ASSURANCE OF THEIR SALVATION AND WHAT GOD EXPECTS FROM HIS CHURCH, THE BODY OF BELIEVERS. THIS BOOK SELECTS SIX TOPICS OF SCRIPTURE WHICH I BELIEVE WILL ENCOURAGE THOSE WHO READ IT TO SEARCH THE SCRIPTURES FOR ASSURANCE OF THEIR SALVATION AND WHAT GOD EXPECTS FROM HIS CHURCH, THE BODY OF BELIEVERS. I AM PERSONALLY CONVICTED OF MY OWN SHORT COMINGS.

1 This work is a devotional commentary on the General, or Catholic, Epistles of Hebrews through Jude, inclusively. There is a comment on every verse in those books.

Alexis had known since she was a young girl that if she wanted something she would have to work for it. Not born with a silver spoon in her mouth, she knew the road to success and having it all would be a challenging and sometimes difficult path to take. What Alexis didn't see coming was Oliver, the man who would take her heart almost from the second she met him. Almost everything came easy for Oliver; he was intelligent, ambitious and at the same time humble. The core of Oliver was family; he had been brought up in a loving home and wanted to have one of his own. Oliver knew he and Alexis would be successful in whatever they chose to do, and they would also be blessed with many children. This was Oliver's dream. Some dreams come true and yet some dreams are just energies that dance though our minds while we sleep. Alexis and Oliver would be the perfect couple and be perfect parents, and with the perfect life, the goals may be attained. However, the methods may not be what both of them had envisioned.

As many stray marks as possible were removed. Dr. Burgon said: "In the front of any treatise on the Christian Ministry, must be placed the study of that much-neglected book, -the Bible. It is the one revelation to man of God's mind and will, nothing which is not read therein, nor may be proved thereby, is "to be required of any man that it should be believed as an article of the Faith." All other books which relate to the science of Divinity, have grown directly out of this. They are expositions of its teaching, or formularies of its doctrines; commentaries on its meaning, or exhortations based upon its precepts; treatises on its idiom, or discussions of its difficulties; unfoldings of its prophecies, or helps to its correct understanding. They all point back to the Bible: appeal to it, refer to it, submit themselves to its decision. From this celestial armoury, the minister of CHRIST derives all his weapons. At home and abroad, from what is here revealed he makes himself and others "wise unto salvation."

The pursuit of relevancy by New Evangelicals has caused their continuing and gradual compromise of truth. Because of this dialog, most of the participants began to try to find the most reducible form of the Gospel to which they could agree to have a degree of unity. There were 3 main streams of Soteriological Reductionism by the 1950's:

This book is a set of five distinct but related and partially cross-referenced studies of Bible history and prophecy from a Hebrew Roots perspective. Each of the five sections is a stand-alone short book that addresses a separate portion of the larger theme of end-time prophecy.
