SHARE NOW THE END BEGINS:

In your dispensation, you do not have eternal security like we the Church did. There is no safety net of grace to catch you. Be very aware of that.

Well, we told you it was coming. Perhaps you were a casual reader of this site, but never got really involved, “too many religious nuts” you said. Maybe you had a family member who would plead with you night after night to “get right” with Jesus before His return. “Nah, never happen”, you said, “people been saying that for ever. Nonsense!”. But, it wasn’t nonsense, was it? Turns out the religious nuts were right after all.

“And now I have told you before it come to pass, that, when it is come to pass, ye might believe.” John 14: 29 (KJV)

The Pretribulation Rapture of the Church actually happened. Now we are gone, and you remain. Left behind. I can only imagine the shock – terror – panic – and questions that must be running through your head right now. My heart breaks for you, and that’s why I made this page, to get you through what the Bible calls the time of Jacob’s Trouble, the Great Tribulation, and it’s moments away from starting.

Are you ready for what comes next? Let’s begin at the beginning…

Here’s what just happened.

It was the hope of every Jesus-follower, prior to the Rapture, that one day He would return and “catch away” those who loved and believed in Him. Why did we think this was going to occur? Because the Bible said so, listen:

“For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first: Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord. Wherefore comfort one another with these words.” 1 Thessalonians 4: 16-18 (KJV)

And that’s exactly what just happened, and where we have now gone. Oh, knowing the media as I do, I am sure that there are many attempts to explain it – UFO’s, alien abductions, a harmonic convergence, a government program like Project Blue Beam, FEMA camps, cosmic shift, worm holes, and the list goes on and on. But none of those explanations really satisfy you, do they? I mean, it’s hundreds upon hundreds of millions of people, right? Could any one government, no matter how corrupt, really process that many people in the “blink of an eye”. No, they could not.

You know better than that. In the Book of the Revelation, what happened to John in chapter 4, verses 1 & 2, is what has now happened to all of us who are gone:

“After this I looked, and, behold, a door was opened in heaven: and the first voice which I heard was as it were of a trumpet talking with me; which said, Come up hither, and I will shew thee things which must be hereafter. And immediately I was in the spirit: and, behold, a throne was set in heaven, and one sat on the throne.” Revelation 4:1,2 (KJV)

OUR TOP 5 REASONS WHY MATTHEW 24 CANNOT BE TALKING ABOUT THE RAPTURE OF THE CHURCH

Wild, isn’t it? We all heard the “sound of a trumpet”, and were pulled up in to the clouds to be with the Lord Jesus, Yeshua Ha’Mashiach Himself. That is what has happened, and that is where we are. With Jesus. Take a little moment and let that really, truly, actually, wonderfully sink into your mind. Remember how we always talked about the “blessed hope”? The Rapture was that blessed hope, and here we stand, galaxies apart with a great gulf fixed.

“Looking for that blessed hope, and the glorious appearing of the great God and our Saviour Jesus Christ;” Titus 2:13 (KJV)

What God has declared will be so, will be so. Amen.

Why you and not me??

Now I know your next question, and you are wondering why, why…why that you got left behind and others did not. “It’s not fair!”, you exclaim. Maybe you were a church goer, maybe you are a “good, moral person” who likes to do good deeds. Maybe you were a Deacon in your church. All these things are good, but unfortunately, not nearly good enough. This is how God sees you, me, all of us humans here on this earth –

“All we like sheep have gone astray; We have turned, every one, to his own way; And the LORD has laid on Him the iniquity of us all.” Isaiah 53: 6 (KJV)

The Bible says that man, of and by himself, can never be and will never be “good enough” to get into the Father’s presence in Heaven. We have all sinned against a just and holy, sinless God. So why, you ask again, if it’s true that all of us are in this condition, did we go up and you stay behind? We are gone now because we put our trust and faith in the the One, the only One who has the true power to forgive sin, and that is Yeshua HaMashiach – Jesus the Messiah – who shed His blood once and for all for the forgiveness of sins.

What can wash away your sin? Nothing, nothing , nothing but the blood of Jesus.

“But God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us. Much more then, having now been justified by His blood, we shall be saved from wrath through Him. For if when we were enemies we were reconciled to God through the death of His Son, much more, having been reconciled, we shall be saved by His life.” Romans 5: 8-10 (KJV)

And that’s why we are gone and you remain. We were not better than you in any way. You and I had equal sin that needed cleansing and forgiving. But the difference is that we got saved, repented daily, really tried to turn from our sins, and turned to the living Lord whose death and resurrection from the dead paid the sin debt we owed. You were left behind because your debt is still unpaid, but there is good news yet for you. Right now, right in front of the computer screen you are reading this on, you can have the debt for all your sins paid in full. Ready?

You Can Be Saved–Right Now.

“That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation” Romans 10: 9-10 (KJV)

Pray and ask the Lord, “Lord Jesus, be merciful to me a sinner, and save me. I now, with a repentant heart, receive you as my personal Saviour”. Remember that salvation is not a prayer so much as it is a transaction. You have sins that need to be paid for, and Jesus offers you that payment. Give Him your sins, and receive His free gift of salvation.

“For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved” Romans 10:13 (KJV)

If you meant it, if you were sincere, if you now know your desperate need for a Saviour and have called upon Him to pay your sin debt, according to the Scripture, then the Bible declares that your sin debt is now paid in full. Just remember that repentance is always the starting point. If you were doing things and living in a way that the Bible forbids, turn from those sins and be cleansed in His shed blood.

Word Of Warning: There is a verse that says because people rejected the truth of the gospel when it was offered them, that God would “send them a strong delusion” that they might “believe a lie.”

“And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved. And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie: That they all might be damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness.” 2 Thessalonians 2:10-12 (KJV)

Since we are no longer here, we have no idea how to advise you other than to say this. God is very merciful to all those who call upon Him. David in Psalm 51 received forgiveness when he did not deserve it because he threw himself on God’s mercy.

We would advise you to do the same thing.

Now you know what has happened to us, here is what you can expect to happen on earth during the next 7 years…and it’s not going to be pretty, so be prepared. But if you just received payment for your sins, you can take comfort that no matter how bad things get, your eternal destiny is now secure.

Living for the Lord, Dying for the Truth

“Alas! for that day is great, so that none is like it: it is even the time of Jacob’s trouble; but he shall be saved out of it.” Jeremiah 30:7 (KJV)

As you have probably figured out by now, the coming time of Jacob’s trouble is not going to be a picnic. In fact, as you can see it’s going to be quite nasty. Before the Rapture, it was pretty easy for bible believers to meet, read and discuss the Bible. But under the rule of Antichrist, it will be outlawed. The fate of a lot of believers during this time you now find yourself in will end in beheading for refusal to take the Mark of the Beast.

“And when he had opened the fifth seal, I saw under the altar the souls of them that were slain for the word of God, and for the testimony which they held: And they cried with a loud voice, saying, How long, O Lord, holy and true, dost thou not judge and avenge our blood on them that dwell on the earth? And white robes were given unto every one of them; and it was said unto them, that they should rest yet for a little season, until their fellow servants also and their brethren, that should be killed as they were, should be fulfilled. “ Revelation 6: 9-11 (KJV)

Do NOT take the Mark of the Beast

The Antichrist is going to make life very tough for you, and at some point during this time, he will introduce a “mark” that everyone will be required to take if you want to continue buying or selling anything. While we were here on earth, we had many lively debates as to exactly what form that mark would take, but you are about to see that for yourself. The bible says that it will be associated with worship of the Antichrist, and will control all buying and selling. If you refuse to take this mark, as all Jesus followers will, the price you will pay will be death.

“And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads: And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name. Here is wisdom. Let him that hath understanding count the number of the beast: for it is the number of a man; and his number is Six hundred threescore and six.” Revelation 13: 16-18 (KJV)

WHAT IS THE POINT OF PUTTING THE BODY OF CHRIST INTO THE TIME OF JACOB’S TROUBLE?

Under NO circumstances, for ANY reason should you accept this mark. For if you do you will be consigned to the fires of Hell for all eternity. If not taking the mark means you can’t buy food, then find some other way to acquire it. If not taking the mark means spending the rest of the time of the Tribulation on the run as a fugitive, then so be it. This mark is the symbol of allegiance with the Devil himself, and EVERY one that accepts will share his fate in Hell. Click here for some more info on the Mark of the Beast.

John MacArthur from Grace To You ministries is wrong, do not take the Mark of the Beast, or have anything to do with the image, name or number of the Antichrist.. God will not forgive you for doing it.

John MacArthur Is Dead Wrong Saying That Tribulation Saints Can Take The Mark Of The Beast And Still Be Forgiven And Go To Heaven, They Can’t

The Judgments of God are about to be poured out on all the earth

The reason why the Christian Church was removed was because the time of Jacob’s trouble has to do primarily with the nation of Israel and God’s chosen people, the Jews. That’s why it is called the time of JACOB’S trouble. The Bible never called it the Great Tribulation. It is to be their final time of refinement and reclamation. But it also will affect the entire world. This time will not begin because of a nuclear attack or anything that man could bring about. This time starts when Jesus Christ Himself opens the little book:

“And I wept much, because no man was found worthy to open and to read the book, neither to look thereon. And one of the elders saith unto me, Weep not: behold, the Lion of the tribe of Juda, the Root of David, hath prevailed to open the book, and to loose the seven seals thereof.” Revelation 5:4,5 (KJV)

You will know that the time of Jacob’s trouble has begun when you see the seals being opened, they will look like this:

“And I saw when the Lamb opened one of the seals, and I heard, as it were the noise of thunder, one of the four beasts saying, Come and see. And I saw, and behold a white horse: and he that sat on him had a bow; and a crown was given unto him: and he went forth conquering, and to conquer. And when he had opened the second seal, I heard the second beast say, Come and see. And there went out another horse that was red: and power was given to him that sat thereon to take peace from the earth, and that they should kill one another: and there was given unto him a great sword. And when he had opened the third seal, I heard the third beast say, Come and see. And I beheld, and lo a black horse; and he that sat on him had a pair of balances in his hand. And I heard a voice in the midst of the four beasts say, A measure of wheat for a penny, and three measures of barley for a penny; and see thou hurt not the oil and the wine. And when he had opened the fourth seal, I heard the voice of the fourth beast say, Come and see. And I looked, and behold a pale horse: and his name that sat on him was Death, and Hell followed with him. And power was given unto them over the fourth part of the earth, to kill with sword, and with hunger, and with death, and with the beasts of the earth.” Revelation 6:1-8 (KJV)

What now?

Study the Bible every day, many times per day. PRAY to God, who gives wisdom liberally. Share the Gospel that the Lord gives to you with as many as you can. Make sure no one you know, saved or unsaved, takes the Mark of the Beast. They will be doomed forever to Hell if they do. No exceptions. In your dispensation, you do not have eternal security like we the Church did. There is no safety net of grace to catch you. Be very aware of that. Doctrinally, your main books will be Matthew, Mark, Luke, Hebrews, and James. Heed this warning, it was written for you:

“For it is impossible for those who were once enlightened, and have tasted of the heavenly gift, and were made partakers of the Holy Ghost, And have tasted the good word of God, and the powers of the world to come, If they shall fall away, to renew them again unto repentance; seeing they crucify to themselves the Son of God afresh, and put him to an open shame.” Hebrews 6:4-6 (KJV)

You will be part of the Tribulation Saints, and have a very hard but short road ahead of you. We are watching you from the balcony now, and just know that we are praying for you always during this time of Jacob’s trouble. This verse speaks of us, the redeemed in Heaven, cheering you on during this time. May the Holy Spirit lead you and guide you all the Home.

We will be waiting for you to arrive.

“Wherefore seeing we also are compassed about with so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which doth so easily beset us, and let us run with patience the race that is set before us, Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith; who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is set down at the right hand of the throne of God.” Hebrews 12:1,2 (KJV)

The Bible Does Not Teach ‘Original Sin’, It Goes Far Deeper Than That And The Answer Is Found In Understanding What The ‘Image Of Adam’ Really Is

Published

July 31, 2025

Geoffrey Grider

SHARE NOW THE END BEGINS:

You were not born with ‘original sin’ as the Roman Catholics teach, you were born with the image of Adam, something far more deadly than mere sins you can commit

If you look at the photo at the top of this article, you see Adam and Eve, and the snake, with an apple. The Bible says nothing about an apple in the Garden that day, if you want to make a case for a fruit being the ‘forbidden fruit’, you’d want to take a look at grapes starting in Numbers 6:3. But just as the Bible doesn’t teach that Adam and Eve ate an apple, it also doesn’t teach that every human born after they fell has ‘original sin’, because they don’t. It is something far deeper, it is the deadly ‘image of Adam’ that will send your soul to Hell. It’s not so much that we commit sin, but rather that we are born sinners with Adam’s image fused into our DNA.

“And Adam lived an hundred and thirty years, and begat a son in his own likeness, after his image; and called his name Seth:” Genesis 5:3 (KJB)

In the gospel of John, Jesus says something quite curious to Nicodemus, and he has no idea what Jesus is talking about. Jesus tells Nicodemus “That which is born of the flesh is flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit. Marvel not that I said unto thee, Ye must be born again.” Jesus is telling him that his physical birth generated him with the image of Adam, and that he needed a spiritual birth to receive the image of God. Take a look at some of these verses speaking to that:

“Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new.” 2 Corinthians 5:17 (KJB)
“And so it is written, The first man Adam was made a living soul; the last Adam was made a quickening spirit. Howbeit that was not first which is spiritual, but that which is natural; and afterward that which is spiritual. The first man is of the earth, earthy: the second man is the Lord from heaven.” 1 Corinthians 15:45-47 (KJB)
“For he is our peace, who hath made both one, and hath broken down the middle wall of partition between us; Having abolished in his flesh the enmity, even the law of commandments contained in ordinances; for to make in himself of twain one new man, so making peace; And that he might reconcile both unto God in one body by the cross, having slain the enmity thereby:” Ephesians 2:14-16 (KJB)
“For as in Adam all die, even so in Christ shall all be made alive.” 1 Corinthians 15:22 (KJB)

Do you see what those verses are telling you? When you were born, you were born into Adam and received his fallen image. When you become born again, the ‘old man’ is taken away and the ‘new man’ is born. Where does the concept of ‘original sin’ come from? Why it comes from the Roman Catholic Church! They teach that your ‘original sin’ can only be ‘washed away’ in a Roman Catholic baby baptism ritual. Ha! Also not in the Bible in either Testament. Please see Acts 8:35-38 (KJB) for ‘more on that story’.

Years ago, someone asked me what ‘religion’ I was, and I replied that I am born again. And they said, “oh, you’re one of the born again’ers, not me. I don’t need that. I’m just a regular Christian.” No, you’re not. Either you are born again and in the Body of Christ, or you are lost, stuck in the image of Adam and heading for Hell. But what about the babies? Glad you asked.

“Wherefore, as by one man sin entered into the world, and death by sin; and so death passed upon all men, for that all have sinned: (For until the law sin was in the world: but sin is not imputed when there is no law.” Romans 5:12,13 (KJB)

God is not a Calvinist, He doesn’t bring souls into the world in order to save some and damn the rest. Maybe R.C. Sproul and John MacArthur taught that, but the Bible sure doesn’t. In His mercy and grace, God does not impute sin to the soul that is not aware they have sinned against Him. This includes all babies, people with Down Syndrome, severe mental impairment and retardation, souls who got killed in abortion, you get the idea. But once you are awake and aware that there is a God and He has a Law, at that point, you become accountable at whatever age that is. This is why being a witness for Jesus Christ, handing out gospel tracts and telling people how to get saved is so very vital and important.

If you are ‘in Adam’ with his image, you’re a dead man walking. Being born again in Jesus Christ erases that image, generates you reborn in the image of God, and then seals you unto the day of Redemption. We live in an highly image conscious world, whose image do you have?

“For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.” John 3:16 (KJB)

Black Sabbath Singer Ozzy Osbourne Was Known As The ‘Prince Of Darkness’, Sang Incessantly About Satan, And Glorified Hell. But Was He Saved?

Black Sabbath singer Ozzy Osbourne has died, is he now in Heaven or in Hell? Your King James Bible has the answer

Heavy metal god Ozzy Osbourne died the other day, and a flood of tributes have been posted online in his memory, many of them from Christian pastors who were huge fans. One pastor in particular, Tullian Tchividjian whom I have never heard of, had this to say about the Black Sabbath singer. “Oh Ozzy… you wild, beautiful soul. You gave misfits like me a soundtrack for our lives. Beneath the madness was a tender heart that understood pain, and sang it loud. Crazy, Iron Man you—thank you for the honesty, the chaos, the comfort. Rest now, brother. Grace has the final word. Love, Tullian.” There it is, Ozzy Osbourne safe at home in Heaven. Is that possible? Let’s take a look and see.

“And have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather reprove them. For it is a shame even to speak of those things which are done of them in secret.” Ephesians 5:11,12 (KJB)

First of all, let me just say, I do not wish Hell on anyone, not even on Adolf Hitler, because when you study the doctrine of Hell long enough and understand what it truly is, you don’t want anyone to wind up there. Hell is real, it has flames and outer darkness, and if you find yourself there you will never get out. How to avoid Hell is easy, ‘Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved, and thy house.’ It doesn’t get any easier than that. According to all accounts, Ozzy Osbourne was raised in the Church of England, the same Church where the King James Bible came from, he was baptized as a baby, and he attended Sunday School. That’s pretty good stuff, right?

In an interview with Spin in 1986, as shared by The Guardian, Osbourne said, “I’m a Christian. I was christened as a Christian. I used to go to Sunday school. I never took much interest in it because … I didn’t.”

Going to church doesn’t make you a Christian any more than sleeping in a garage doesn’t make you an automobile. Baptism doesn’t save you, and neither does attending Sunday School. In Acts 8, the Ethiopian eunuch had this exchange with the apostle Philip. “And as they went on their way, they came unto a certain water: and the eunuch said, See, here is water; what doth hinder me to be baptized? And Philip said, If thou believest with all thine heart, thou mayest. And he answered and said, I believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God.” Belief in Jesus first, baptism second, that’s Church Age doctrine.

The Truth about Heaven and Hell

Let me ask you the most important question you will every be asked in your entire life. If you were to die tonight, where would you go?

Ozzy Osbourne said he ‘believed in God’, that’s good, right? “I believe in God. I don’t go to church, but I don’t think you have to go to church to believe in God,” he said.” On that point he was correct, you do not have to attend church in order to believe in God. James has this to say about that “Thou believest that there is one God; thou doest well: the devils also believe, and tremble.” Devils in Hell believe in God, so much so that it makes them tremble, but it doesn’t make them saved. Believing that God exists is a wonderful first step on the path to salvation, but believing in God is not enough to save you. God has placed salvation in His only begotten Son Jesus, it is in Him where salvation dwells, no place else. “Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved.” Acts 4:12

Black Sabbath has a song called ‘After Forever’, and here is a line from it “I have seen the truth, yes, I’ve seen the light, and I’ve changed my ways. And I’ll be prepared when you’re lonely and scared at the end of our days.” Sounds almost like a profession of faith, doesn’t it? Maybe, except for the fact that Jesus Christ is THE Truth, there is no other truth. “Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.” Black Sabbath has dozens of songs mentioning Satan and the Devil by name, but as far as I know, not one mentioned the Name of Jesus of Nazareth. Why would Jesus not even get a mention if Ozzy was truly a Christian?

So we see that salvation as defined by the Bible for New Testament Christians living in the Church Age is quite clear, and here it is. “For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures; And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures:” Did Ozzy Osbourne believe that? There is no record that I could find to show he did, no testimony of salvation or receiving Jesus Christ as Saviour. I think that music like the kind practiced by Black Sabbath, and by “Christian” artists like Slayer, Stryper, Skillet, Demon Hunter and all the others is satanic, and no one who names the Name of Jesus should have anything to do with that garbage. But listening to bad music doesn’t send you to Hell, not believing on the Name of the only begotten Son of God, Jesus of Nazareth does. That’s where we’ll leave it.

Your King James Bible Tells You That God Was Manifest In The Flesh As Jesus Christ, A Precious Truth Snuffed Out In Nearly All The Modern Versions

SHARE NOW THE END BEGINS:

1 Timothy 3:16 in the King James Bible shows you God manifest in the flesh, a truth snuffed out by nearly all the modern versions

There is a verse in 1 Timothy 3 in your King James Bible that is one of the most-powerful verses anywhere in either Testament showing you the deity of Jesus Christ in clear and precises terms. This verse tells us that “God was manifest in the flesh”, that is to say that God the Father put Himself inside a human body to make Himself open and visible. Paul declares this clarion truth to us, and nearly every one of the modern versions take that truth and erase it from the passage like it was never there.

“And without controversy great is the mystery of godliness: God was manifest in the flesh, justified in the Spirit, seen of angels, preached unto the Gentiles, believed on in the world, received up into glory.” 1 Timothy 3:16 (KJB)

Of course, this is the teaching of the Bible, giving you written proof that God prepared Himself a body in order to come into this world as the sinless Saviour. Isaiah show us God the Father, born into this world as a baby, who grows to be the Saviour of mankind and the King of the world. We see these verses so often at “Christmas” that they become stripped of their prophetic power and meaning, reduced to being used as fodder for greeting cards.

“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. Of the increase of his government and peace there shall be no end, upon the throne of David, and upon his kingdom, to order it, and to establish it with judgment and with justice from henceforth even for ever. The zeal of the LORD of hosts will perform this.” Isaiah 9:6,7 (KJB)

Jesus Christ is not a “second God”, he is the Father in human form, that’s exactly Who He is. It is the Roman Catholics who tell you about “God the Father, God the Son and God the Holy Ghost”, but the Bible doesn’t say any such thing. The Bible says that it is God – Father, Son and Spirit – in one body, Paul calls this the Godhead, and so it is. So why would all the “easier to read” modern versions want to prevent you from receiving and understanding this clear and precious truth about God? It’s an attack on the deity of Jesus Christ which they all love to do. With that in mind, let’s do a quick comparison between the King James and the modern versions.

WANT THE WHOLE TRUTH ABOUT THE MODERN BIBLE VERSIONS? CLICK TO ORDER!!

KING JAMES BIBLE: “And without controversy great is the mystery of godliness: God was manifest in the flesh, justified in the Spirit, seen of angels, preached unto the Gentiles, believed on in the world, received up into glory.” 1 Timothy 3:16 (KJB) Using zero footnotes, Paul tells us that God, the Father, was manifest in the flesh of Jesus Christ, in such clear language that controversy and private interpretation becomes impossible. This is why the modern versions take it out.

NEW INTERNATIONAL VERSION: “Beyond all question, the mystery from which true godliness springs is great: He appeared in the flesh, was vindicated by the Spirit,[fn] was seen by angels, was preached among the nations, was believed on in the world, was taken up in glory.” 1 Timothy 3:16 (NIV). Doesn’t tell you who the “He” is, could be God, could be the Devil. Footnote added to sow doubt in your mind about the accuracy of the passage. Billy Graham was a paid spokesperson for the NIV.

ENGLISH STANDARD VERSION: “Great indeed, we confess, is the mystery of godliness: He[fn] was manifested in the flesh, vindicated[fn] by the Spirit,[fn] seen by angels, proclaimed among the nations, believed on in the world, taken up in glory.” 1 Timothy 3:16 (ESV) Doesn’t tell you who the “He” is, could be God, could be the Devil. Multiple footnotes added to sow doubt in your mind about the accuracy of the passage.

LEGACY STANDARD BIBLE: “And by common confession, great is the mystery of godliness: He who was manifested in the flesh, Was [fn]vindicated [fn]in the Spirit, Seen by angels, Proclaimed among the nations, Believed on in the world, Taken up in glory.” 1 Timothy 3:16 (LSB) This is the version championed by John McArthur, which is basically a slightly updated ESV. Doesn’t tell you who the “He” is, could be God, could be the Devil. Multiple footnotes added to sow doubt in your mind about the accuracy of the passage.

And the Grand Prize for biblical heresy is reserved, of course, for the Roman Catholic Church, these being the same people who at every turn try and tell you that they are the ones who “gave us the Bible”. Nothing could be further from the truth or more laughable.

DOUAY-RHEIMS BIBLE: “And evidently great is the mystery of godliness, which was manifested in the flesh, was justified in the spirit, appeared unto angels, hath been preached unto the Gentiles, is believed in the world, is taken up in glory.” 1 Timothy 3:16 (DRB) The modern versions all remove the word “God” and substitute it with the word “He”, leaving you with a masculine being of some sort to contend with. Pure garbage, but the Catholics do worse. They take the “He” that modern versions reduced God to and substitutes it for the neuter “which”.

THE CATHOLIC CHURCH GAVE YOU ALL THE MODERN VERSIONS, AND THIS BOOK PROVES IT. CLICK TO ORDER!!

Christian, your Bible is under attack and the sooner you figure that out the better off you will be. This is not a matter of “King James Onlyism” as our opponents mockingly suggest, this is a war designed to rip God’s preserved word right out of your hands and replace it with cut-rate slop like the modern versions.
