Proverbs 30:5-6 “Every word of GOD proves true; HE is a shield to those who take refuge in HIM. Do not add to HIS words, lest HE rebuke you and you be found a liar.”
Sticking to the WORD!
When jokes told forty years ago
are now defined “offensive”…
When simple humors are maligned
and further deemed inconsequential…
Like Bibles read in History past,
with “untranslated” pages…
yet what’s printed now is different,
filled with godless, errant changes.
Therefore! Since the latter happened, flee such compromised creations!
Choose to NOT become a joke, as such, like those whose study – faded!
Walk no more then “unenlightened” which the world calls those of Faith.
Rather! Stand upon the WORD of GOD and only what HE says!
As HIServant reminded to humbly study, pray, learn, preach and praise HIM daily,

Devotional: Deuteronomy 12:32 “Everything that I command
you, you shall be careful to do. You shall not add to it or
take from it.”
We all know the above versse. Don’t add or subtract from the Bible. Most know that if you changed the words around about 10%-20% or so, then you could get a “copyright” and sell a new version of the Bible.
Fast forward to today, most of our bibles are Masoretic text based renderings as opposed to coming from the original Greek based Septuagint.
Why does that matter? The Masoretic texts which the Jews who reject CHRIST “authored” then are minimizations to the GODHEAD. That alone is troublesome.
Then, within the command not to add or subtract from HIS Holy WORD, stands the inherent fact that that includes TRANSLATIONS.
While many translators spent and spend hours doing their best while trembling (Isaiah 66:2) as they worked, endeavoring to not mistranslate anything.
But today, with Ai rewriting portions of online texts and translators seemingly more interested in the business of book selling rather than the authenticity of the WORD ITSELF…
…the percent of accurate translations done is far from what it should be. So!
Let us be Bereans who study, compare with the original texts as best as possible and who also and daily tremble with the delivery of HIS WORD.
Isaiah 66:2 “All these things MY hand has made, and so all these things came to be, declares the LORD. But this is the one to whom I will look: he who is humble and contrite in spirit and trembles at MY WORD!”
Amen and amen.
