We continue stedfastly in prayer, and in the ministry of the word.

Acts 6:4 ASV

ABOUT US

      A faith based Ministry, begun 30 September 2012, we are humble men and women, representing no organization. There is no board behind us. We trust the Holy Ghost and God alone for support. No charges of any kind are made for our ministry or prayers. No salaries are received. Each individual relies solely on the Holy Ghost and God for their maintenance. 17 February 2017 our web ministry was born.

      We believe and teach; the Bible contains the mind of God, the state of man, the way of salvation, the doom of sinners and happiness of believers. Its doctrines are holy, its precepts binding. Its histories are true, and its decisions are immutable. Read it to be wise, believe it to be safe, and practice it to be holy. It contains light to direct you, food to support you and comfort to cheer you. It is the travelers map, the pilgrim’s staff, the pilots compass, the soldiers sword, and the Christian charter. Here heaven is restored, paradise opened, and the gates of hell disclosed. Christ is its grand subject, our good its design, and the Glory of God its end. It should fill the memory, rule the heart, and guide the feet. Read it slowly, frequently and prayerfully. It is a mine of wealth, a paradise of glory, and a river of pleasure. It is given you in life, will be open at the judgment and be remembered for ever. It involves the highest responsibility, rewards the greatest labor, and condemns ALL who trifle with its Holy contents. Reverand R.A. McClure, 1930.

SCRIPTURES OF CHOICE

ASV: AMERICAN STANDARD VERSION 1901 a variant of the English Revised Version published in 1881-1885. By the middle of the nineteenth century, the development of Biblical studies and discovery of many manuscripts more ancient than those upon which the King James Version was based, made it manifest to call for revision of the English translation. The task was undertaken, by authority of the Church of England, in 1870. Its variant embodying the preferences of American scholars associated with the work, was published in 1901.

 

KJV: KING JAMES VERSION The first English version of the Scriptures made by direct translation from the original Hebrew and Greek, and the first to be printed was the work of William Tyndale. He was betrayed into the hands of his enemies, and in October 1536, was publicly executed and burned at the stake. The King James Version became the “Authorized Version of 1611” of the English speaking peoples. To the most high and mighty Prince JAMES, By the grace of God, King of Great Britain, France and Ireland, Defender of the Faith, The translators of the Bible wish Grace, Mercy, and Peace through JESUS CHRIST our Lord.

 

LXX: SEPTUAGINT The Bible Jesus and the Apostles used; was translated at Alexanderia, Egypt; by seventy Jewish scholars sent from Jerusalem, by the high priest, at the request of Ptolemy Philadelphus (285-247 B.C.). There can be no question about the scholarship of these Jewish scribes and their knowledge of the Hebrew language. They frequently give (in their Greek version) a free translation of the Hebrew text before them, the question of a paraphrase does not arise here. They translated one Hebrew word by one Greek word. They simply translated the text that was before them, nearly three centuries before the birth of Christ. Jews and Christians in the first century had great reverence for the Septaugint. Philo held this translation was divinely inspired. The learned Hebrew scribes who wrote the Babylonian Talmud also ascribed divine inspiration to the translators. When Christians began to proclaim the gospel it became evident how clearly the Septuagint substantiated Christian doctrines causing the Jews to reverse themselves completely, turning in furious hatred against the Septuagint, proceeding to burn and destroy all the copies they could.
