Paul when I read the Shack I had just met Jesus in my living room. Greatest day of my life. And I stayed hearing all the hate about your book but all I ever told people is that when we meet Jesus our Maker it’s so hard to explain what has happened on the inside of us so we try with our peanut brain as hard as we can and I’ll have to say that you did an amazing job. The born from above experience has to have been experienced by the hearers or they just look at us like we’re Cookoo!!!
🙌🏼 Let’s go! Beautiful! Thank you for sharing your journey with us. Thank you for sharing your authentic relationship with the Trinity with us. Thank you.
The Shack has touched so MANY lives. The more I listen to you and your fellows the I understand and the more I want to understand. I can now call GOD Father....not at Papa yet but I will, I'm sure of it. Thank You All.
Wow, I can't believe I just found your channel! Every time I see a new video of you speaking somewhere on TH-cam I watched it, for the past 5+ years. I've searched for videos of you, how on earth has your channel never popped up for me? Weird. Well praise God I'm here now!
In the beginning, God. The word was God, is God, became flesh. The one who was and is, and is to come the end and the beginning. It is finished! Holy, Holy, Holy!
Thanks PWY for setting up your TH-cam. Looking forward to the future messages. I am also married with 5 kid and 5 grandchildren. Thank your family for us allowing us to borrow you for an hour at a time plus your traveling. God bless. I’ve been recked in a good way since The shack. P.s love open table.
God is always with you and listening. Talk to Him, ask questions, tell Him what you need, and He will help you. What a great future you have ahead of you. I'm excited for you ☝️✝️😊
Father will definitely come through for you just learn to have very honest conversations with Him. He is not scared of our questions. He gently guides us into Reality
"The Lord kills and brings to life; he brings down to Sheol and raises up." - 1 Samuel 2:6 “‘See now that I, even I, am he, and there is no god beside me; I kill and I make alive; I wound and I heal; and there is none that can deliver out of my hand. - Deuteronomy 32:39 "By faith Abraham, when he was tested, offered up Isaac, and he who had received the promises was in the act of offering up his only son, of whom it was said, “Through Isaac shall your offspring be named.” He considered that God was able even to raise him from the dead, from which, figuratively speaking, he did receive him back." - Hebrews 11:17-19 "As for you, you meant evil against me, but God meant it for good, to bring it about that many people should be kept alive, as they are today." - Genesis 50:20
Rodney Beaulieu his study of the KJV (King James Bibile) will help you and everyone here a lot more about God, don't worry he believes in the salvation of all and universal reconciliation. Look folks just study the King James, get rid of all presupposition of what you were taught and just study rightly divide with universal reconciliation in mind.
AKJV Translation ONLY, no apologies! To begin to Rightly divide Scripture from scriptures, draw a wide red line between Genesis 2:3 and 2:4. Then see that the deity in Chapter 2 is not the same as the Deity in Chapter 1:1 thru 2:3, G-o-d, Genesis One's Deity, God, Elohiym, The Supreme Triune True Co-creators. Then see that "the all-Caps LORD"of Chapter 4 is not God, but Adam. Eve knew that it wasn't God who got her pregnant with Cain and Abel. She is calling Adam "LORD" due to the curse of Genesis 3:16. This also sheds Light on why the LORD (Adam) had preferential respect for Abel's offering over Cain's. He having been cursed to be a farmer was tired of vegetables, so when Abel brought him a freshly roasted leg of lamb, he was greatly pleased. God would have had equal respect for both offerings. No wonder Cain was so upset. This is very similar to Jacob stealing Esau's birthright. Every Bible story, parable or allegory is much deeper than the letter implies. This is a good place to begin forgiving the dysfunctional families of the Scriptures.
@@waynesumner1829 I take back what I said about the KJV, I was wrong. The Concordance Literal Bible Translation of the old and new testament is way better translation. Avoid the KJV, it ain't good for you.
I hope yr going to start a bible college soon Paul?? ... nanu nanu ... love love love yr speaking. I'm laughing and feel soooooo lifted. Thanku Sir 😁😅🥳
So Father Son and Holy Spirit already inhabit inside every person? I'm struggling to understand this. Why are we taught that we must invite Jesus into our being, to be considered a child of God? I'm so confused. 😫
@@cherylwilliams4738it can be confusing because we are influenced by western theology . That’s does not exclude us from going through fire and needing to draw near to them, gaining knowledge of the early church to undo some things. It’s a good journey keep listening to more .
Unfortunately, Young has gone beyond the clear teaching of the Bible and has discarded some essential teachings of the Christian faith. He is mostly arguing against a “monster God” version of Christianity which is not consistent with the worldwide Christian faith. While discarding these monster God perversions, he has also discarded essential truths. His current theological position makes no sense as it both affirms and rejects the same truth. For example, while discrediting the Old Testament, he acknowledges the “New Testament is rock solid and you can trust it.” While the contents of the New Testament include over 300 references to the OT, which validate its accuracy as the word of God and its clarity for us as its readers. I think his movie the Shack is a great introduction to a God of love for those who have been abused by perversions of the faith. I hope Young himself lands somewhere better than where he is at. The actual truth is better than what he’s advocating. The actual question Young is asking comes through several times. It is this: “did God really say?” He asks it several times throughout and then answers his own question with “no, God didn’t really say. We just misunderstood him.” One can hear the origin of this philosophy as it sounds similar to: “You surely will not die, for God knows that when you eat of it your eyes will be opened, and you will be like God, knowing good and evil.” Young's teaching is described in 2 Peter 3 when Peter says “Some things in these letters are hard to understand, things the ignorant and unstable twist to their own destruction, as they also do to the rest of the scriptures. Therefore, dear friends, since you have been forewarned, be on your guard that you do not get led astray by the error of these unprincipled men and fall from your firm grasp on the truth.” In the Bible, human beings are not universally and unconditionally saved. Instead, we are called upon to appropriate that work through faith and repentance. Peter stands up in Acts 3 and says, “Therefore repent and turn back so that your sins may be wiped out.” God takes the willing into his presence in the afterlife and there is a battle here for who those will be. God has given us a vote to use our time, talents, and resources to further his kingdom. This is the historical Christian belief. In this way, I do agree with Young that God submits to us in certain ways, one of those ways being our acceptance of Jesus' sacrifice. If we choose not to accept it then at the end God says to us "your will be done." Eternal conscious torment is a child's caricature of hell and is a bit of a "straw man" argument against the hell that actually exists. It maybe medieval in origin. But if Young is going to use the Bible to argue his case, he also needs to address the 10+ recorded words of Jesus that describe and explain hell as a continuing state in the afterlife. This idea that God forces everyone to choose him at the end is a sort of "fatalism" that Young himself criticizes at the beginning. All that said, God works through imperfect humans 100% of the time. My own salvation came through a pastor that I no longer follow and I know that healing can come even through Young's presentation of this gospel that has been distorted by the evil one.
Well said. We always need to be willing to learn and ask God but never ever take another person as being 100% correct 100% of the time. And neither ARE any of us.
If it is God’s will to be all in all… then God will be all in all. Maybe humans focus on their wrong thing based on their own fears which they then make their reality of self created hell on earth. Instead of stepping into the kingdom of God which is here now, they cannot see past the perceived separation from God. Of course when we perceive we are separated and alone and not sufficient enough; not good enough.. what else do we expect to happen? Hurt people hurt people… and God will use these situations to help us all heal and realize we were never separate to begin with, we were just blind.
Can’t put God in a box well context is important here but considering that I may largely be misunderstanding your point “the word” is a kind of box certain kind of word that is equivalent for the glorify of God to be expressed within the parameters in which God has chosen to express likewise we have God being manifested in the flesh cross reference the word manifested in the flesh as an equivalent for the revelation of God in truth and in spirit… the box is rather our best representative to all things carnal or finite expressed to the carnal and finite form the heavenly and spiritual so we see the incomprehensible light shinning into the darkness… and only by true revelation can reveal things of the spirit and truth a box is like a accidental straw man attack where as the word is revelation or maybe we can even say that creation and revelation is Gods manifestation to witness and testify of himself through sovereignty and free will. Free will of himself and by free will of human persons. I simply am addressing what I perceive as an accidental error presented… what I see as boxes can be seen as follows: creation, the word, the word in flesh/the son, any truth that points to creator is a puzzle piece to the boxes of understanding… understanding itself is built upon the premises of perceived truth however the proper foundation of a premise or perceived truth is by which the Bible speaks which is as Christ speaks in scripture the foundation that is not built upon with sand that will not stand My apologies do to my incredible imperfections of proper articulation my only intention here is to help regardless of how it may seem God bless
Do you, or anyone out there, have a teaching or an explanation for why God did “make coats of skins to cover them”, Adam and Eve. And why did God have respect for Abel’s offering and not for Cain’s? Thanks. Peace.
1. Some say their spirits encompassed their body in glory, until the fall when the glory left and they needed skin. 2. Some say Cains heart attitude was that he felt that God wasn't good. Best idea would be to ask Father himself to lead you into revelation about these things. I get excited when I don't understand a scripture as I know He's about to reveal something to me personally.
I'll offer you the meaning I give to the story, as I have wondered too. Genesis gives us a context and a pre-history to the Old Covenant it is a preamble to what follows, in my mind. God put the tree of knowledge in the garden, it is the tree of the knowledge of good and evil from Gods' point of view. It probably gave an awareness of sin but no solution for the death caused by sin. In fact, to put ones hope in it assured Adams death. The other tree represents union with God thru faith and spirit thru which our God life comes, the New Covenant. Adam put his hope in the wrong tree. All Adam found out was that he was naked, not adequate and vulnerable. So God covers his nakedness with a temporary fix , a fix that reminded them year after year of their sin, Hebrews 10:3, till the real fix comes. Rom 10:2-4. God actually honors Adams' choice to live from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, but it does have consequences. I think the Old Covenant pictures living from that tree, that is, living without faith and spirit, generally speaking; because there appears to be, plenty of anomalies, not everyone did. Cain's offering may have been rejected because he already was in sin. See Matt 5: 23, 24. Malachi 1:10 . Gen 4:7 might indicate that.
@@wilfredmancy • Thank you Wilfred for your kind, thoughtful ,and gracious response. If I may I would like to submit the following in return: I believe that the commandments of the Old Covenant given to Israel relate to the commandment given to Adam in the manner whimsically delivered in an aside found in the song ‘I’m Henry VIII I am’ by Herman’s Hermits: “Second verse same as the first, a little bit louder and a little bit worse.” Adam submitted to the lies of the slanderer of God, and Adam’s disobedience brought the curse of death upon all of mankind (and “sin reigns through death”). ThIs curse was lifted off all mankind by the last Adam. “For as by one man’s disobedience many* were made sinners, so also by one Man’s obedience many* will be made righteous.” Romans 5:19. *The “many” is ‘all of us’ with the Sole exception of just one Man, the righteous Son of mankind. Israel, being under the curse of sin (= missing the mark) and death, readily submitted to the slander that God’s love could be earned when it is impossible to earn agapé. Their tragic story of absolute failure demonstrated that the work of God is just that - the work of God! The difference between the vanity of Adam and Israel is that Adam was never consulted, he was commanded, “to not eat of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil”; whereas Israel, despite being warned of the consequence of failure, entered into a covenant with God. The law given to Israel, having been fulfilled by their Messiah Who they murdered and then rejected for forty years were, as a nation, judged at the closing of the OC, “the end of the age”, at the second coming of Christ in 70 AD when their temple was raized to the ground and Jerusalem destroyed. They conclusively proved that the law is good but it cannot save. They also recorded it for our admonition, all scripture was written by Israelites. In Adam’s case which included all of his progeny (including Israel), God was bound to observe the spirit of the law found in Exodus 21:33-34, “And if a man shall open a pit, or if a man shall dig a pit, and not cover it, and an ox or an ass fall therein; the owner of the pit shall make it good, and give money unto the owner of them; and the dead beast shall be his.” This same requirement was put on someone who did not put guard rails on his roof when he built it and somebody fell to his death. God is Absolute, He knows the end from the beginning, but Adam was a relative creature, an ox and an ass, ignorant and stubborn. His ignorance was built-in because he was in a ‘spiritual whiteout’. All he knew was ‘the good’, but there is no record of him giving thanks for his idyllic state because he had no contrast whereby he could appreciate Paradise. God could have put angels with flaming swords between Adam and the tree of the knowledge of good and evil but He didn’t. The responsibility to redeem (give money for) Adam was God’s, the responsibility to make it good was God’s, and the Owner to Whom everything was to be made good is God. Truly, “God is able to reconcile all things to Himself.” “Behold the Lamb ...” (Who is the Resurrection and the Life) “... slain BEFORE the foundation of the world.” Why? Again, because God knows the end from the beginning. The outcome has never been in doubt, the Spirit has always been within or none of us could ever have drawn breath, but we have been blind, stumbling around in darkness, when the Light has always been with us and in us. All of us (that is, those made in the image of God), having been temporarily blind, shall share and enjoy our Father’s transcendent light together - forever. Neither Adam nor Israel had any real choice. Neither do we, the deception of ‘choice’, choosing God (or else!), accepting the gift, surrendering, making a decision, is propagated by dead religion and it’s exponents are ‘working it’ to this day, “disguised as ministers of righteousness.” A word about Cain to close. Abel and Cain were both under sin, I believe Cain’s offering was rejected because it was the work of his hands, Abel’s offering was a life that he could not ‘work’ up. Sorry if I have rambled on a bit. We are not under law, and where there is no law sin is not imputed. I believe that we are in what a pre-70 AD Israelite would amazingly accept as “a new heaven and a new earth.” Only believe. Peace.
One Triune GOD, Chay Adonai Elohiym... not the human ego, the LORD God, JEHOVAH, Israel's spiritual idol or ALLAH, Islam's idol or Buddah, etc.,etc. One Bible AKJV Translation, not NIV or any other perversions. Compare I Timothy 2:1-6 and see the clear superiority of AKJV. Unity of The Faith requires One Pure End-time Holy Scripture of Truth!
Can We walk together except We be agreed? If Christ and The Holy Ghost are not the Author and Finisher of the Knowledge of The Truth, our religion is dead in the water. The " infernalists don't like it, but death, hell and the grave have never been a part of GOD'S Saving Grace.Amen, Look Up, Our Redemption draweth nigh! Do you know why poor Ol' Adam "sinned" in the Garden? He was too "nigh" Eve! LOL.We Love and forgive all people everywhere even the naysayers for We have All been Universally translated into the Glory of The Kingdom of God's Dear Son, Our Saviour! Amen!!!
Every Word of God, G-o-d, Genesis One's Deity, is pure; as silver, tried in a furnace of earth, purified seven times. Every word of man is a lie, perverted 666 times in pits of hell where the Devil and his angels are raising cane, while Mama prays their crops will fail. They know their time is short. Get thee behind Me, Satan, get in line, we're going for a little detour by way of Golgotha/Calvary and you're gonna be hung and wound all 'round the backside of the cross and every nail that pierces through Me non-fatally, will pierce your belly, heart and head , and I will rise triumphant in Spirit over the flesh of your dead body and pray for your Redemption as We commend All Redeemed Spirits into the Hands of God Our Father, declaring THAT It , the Atonement, the undoing of the separation, is finished!!!
Zephaniah 3:8-9 and St.John 1:51 when Divinely interpreted, aver that English IS The End -time Tongue, not Hebrew, Greek, Latin, Spanish, Chinese,French, German, Russian or Swahili! God has reserved 7,000 born from Above, true Apostles and called Saints Who have not bowed their Holy Knees to the false gods of this wicked world, Baal, Ashtoreth, Molech, Beelzebub, Lucifer, Satan, that old serpent, the Devil or Anti-Christ. And they all speak the King's Perfect English so plain that any K-6 Child of any nation can understand It. All AKJV Translation deniers and scoffers face the fair Judgement of Revelation 22: 18&19. We beseech thee, Beloved Brethren, do not add to or take from the Whole Holy Counsel of The Scripture of Truth of GOD Almighty, lest He reprove thee and thou be found a liar.
We, the Children of Light, the Offspring of Love, the Creation of God, THAT and Those Who have Always Been, are not the "people of the Book", what saith the Son, the Christ, the I AM THAT All Living Things Are:" Before Genesis 1:1 was,I AM! Nevertheless, in this latter Day of scripted Enlightenment, there is but One Holy Book of Books inspired by The Holy Spirit, The Spirit of Truth, Who uses It as a teaching device to Guide Us All in the Way of the Truth and the Life. And since the appointed time of A.D. 1611, That One Book is the Authorized by GOD, King James English Translation, as fittingly revised and highlighted by the Red-lettered Words of Jesus in the New Testament No other scripture, not the Torah sans the New Testament, not the Koran of Mohammad, or the Book of Mormon of Joseph Smith, or the texts of the teachings of Buddhism, Hinduism, Shintoism or any other Eastern belief system's religious writ, or the so-called "Lost Gospels" of Enoch, Thomas, or Mary, etc.,etc., or even The Dead Sea Scrolls, if they don't attest to the manifest Perfection of Our AKJV Bible. These words of the Prophet Jonah yet ring True: "Those that observe lying vanities, forsake their own Mercy." "And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters. And God said Let there be Light; and there was Light." Genesis 1:2 (last sentence) and verse 3, AKJV Translation. Holy, Holy, Holy!!!

@@sofsos7564 Thank you for your thoughtful ideas. Happy New Year.
Happy new year
I'll offer you the meaning I give to the story, as I have wondered too.
Genesis gives us a context and a pre-history to the Old Covenant it is a preamble to what follows, in my mind. God put the tree of knowledge in the garden, it is the tree of the knowledge of good and evil from Gods' point of view. It probably gave an awareness of sin but no solution for the death caused by sin. In fact, to put ones hope in it assured Adams death. The other tree represents union with God thru faith and spirit thru which our God life comes, the New Covenant.
Adam put his hope in the wrong tree. All Adam found out was that he was naked, not adequate and vulnerable. So God covers his nakedness with a temporary fix , a fix that reminded them year after year of their sin, Hebrews 10:3, till the real fix comes. Rom 10:2-4.
God actually honors Adams' choice to live from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, but it does have consequences. I think the Old Covenant pictures living from that tree, that is, living without faith and spirit, generally speaking; because there appears to be, plenty of anomalies, not everyone did.
Cain's offering may have been rejected because he already was in sin. See Matt 5: 23, 24. Malachi 1:10 . Gen 4:7 might indicate that.
@@wilfredmancy • Thank you Wilfred for your kind, thoughtful ,and gracious response. If I may I would like to submit the following in return:
I believe that the commandments of the Old Covenant given to Israel relate to the commandment given to Adam in the manner whimsically delivered in an aside found in the song ‘I’m Henry VIII I am’ by Herman’s Hermits:
“Second verse same as the first,
a little bit louder and a little bit worse.”
Adam submitted to the lies of the slanderer of God, and Adam’s disobedience brought the curse of death upon all of mankind (and “sin reigns through death”). ThIs curse was lifted off all mankind by the last Adam. “For as by one man’s disobedience many* were made sinners, so also by one Man’s obedience many* will be made righteous.” Romans 5:19.
*The “many” is ‘all of us’ with the Sole exception of just one Man, the righteous Son of mankind.
Israel, being under the curse of sin (= missing the mark) and death, readily submitted to the slander that God’s love could be earned when it is impossible to earn agapé. Their tragic story of absolute failure demonstrated that the work of God is just that - the work of God!
The difference between the vanity of Adam and Israel is that Adam was never consulted, he was commanded, “to not eat of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil”; whereas Israel, despite being warned of the consequence of failure, entered into a covenant with God.
The law given to Israel, having been fulfilled by their Messiah Who they murdered and then rejected for forty years were, as a nation, judged at the closing of the OC, “the end of the age”, at the second coming of Christ in 70 AD when their temple was raized to the ground and Jerusalem destroyed. They conclusively proved that the law is good but it cannot save. They also recorded it for our admonition, all scripture was written by Israelites.
In Adam’s case which included all of his progeny (including Israel), God was bound to observe the spirit of the law found in Exodus 21:33-34, “And if a man shall open a pit, or if a man shall dig a pit, and not cover it, and an ox or an ass fall therein; the owner of the pit shall make it good, and give money unto the owner of them; and the dead beast shall be his.”
This same requirement was put on someone who did not put guard rails on his roof when he built it and somebody fell to his death.
God is Absolute, He knows the end from the beginning, but Adam was a relative creature, an ox and an ass, ignorant and stubborn. His ignorance was built-in because he was in a ‘spiritual whiteout’. All he knew was ‘the good’, but there is no record of him giving thanks for his idyllic state because he had no contrast whereby he could appreciate Paradise. God could have put angels with flaming swords between Adam and the tree of the knowledge of good and evil but He didn’t. The responsibility to redeem (give money for) Adam was God’s, the responsibility to make it good was God’s, and the Owner to Whom everything was to be made good is God. Truly, “God is able to reconcile all things to Himself.” “Behold the Lamb ...” (Who is the Resurrection and the Life) “... slain BEFORE the foundation of the world.” Why? Again, because God knows the end from the beginning.
The outcome has never been in doubt, the Spirit has always been within or none of us could ever have drawn breath, but we have been blind, stumbling around in darkness, when the Light has always been with us and in us. All of us (that is, those made in the image of God), having been temporarily blind, shall share and enjoy our Father’s transcendent light together - forever.
Neither Adam nor Israel had any real choice. Neither do we, the deception of ‘choice’, choosing God (or else!), accepting the gift, surrendering, making a decision, is propagated by dead religion and it’s exponents are ‘working it’ to this day, “disguised as ministers of righteousness.”
A word about Cain to close. Abel and Cain were both under sin, I believe Cain’s offering was rejected because it was the work of his hands, Abel’s offering was a life that he could not ‘work’ up.
Sorry if I have rambled on a bit.
We are not under law, and where there is no law sin is not imputed. I believe that we are in what a pre-70 AD Israelite would amazingly accept as “a new heaven and a new earth.”
Only believe. Peace.

A bunch of physco babble. No scriptural basis for this nonsense. Find out who you are in Christ, not who you are in you. Search the scriptures.
One Triune GOD, Chay Adonai Elohiym... not the human ego, the LORD God, JEHOVAH, Israel's spiritual idol or ALLAH, Islam's idol or Buddah, etc.,etc. One Bible AKJV Translation, not NIV or any other perversions. Compare I Timothy 2:1-6 and see the clear superiority of AKJV. Unity of The Faith requires One Pure End-time Holy Scripture of Truth!
Can We walk together except We be agreed? If Christ and The Holy Ghost are not the Author and Finisher of the Knowledge of The Truth, our religion is dead in the water. The " infernalists don't like it, but death, hell and the grave have never been a part of GOD'S Saving Grace.Amen, Look Up, Our Redemption draweth nigh! Do you know why poor Ol' Adam "sinned" in the Garden? He was too "nigh" Eve! LOL.We Love and forgive all people everywhere even the naysayers for We have All been Universally translated into the Glory of The Kingdom of God's Dear Son, Our Saviour! Amen!!!
Every Word of God, G-o-d, Genesis One's Deity, is pure; as silver, tried in a furnace of earth, purified seven times. Every word of man is a lie, perverted 666 times in pits of hell where the Devil and his angels are raising cane, while Mama prays their crops will fail. They know their time is short. Get thee behind Me, Satan, get in line, we're going for a little detour by way of Golgotha/Calvary and you're gonna be hung and wound all 'round the backside of the cross and every nail that pierces through Me non-fatally, will pierce your belly, heart and head , and I will rise triumphant in Spirit over the flesh of your dead body and pray for your Redemption as We commend All Redeemed Spirits into the Hands of God Our Father, declaring THAT It , the Atonement, the undoing of the separation, is finished!!!
Zephaniah 3:8-9 and St.John 1:51 when Divinely interpreted, aver that English IS The End -time Tongue, not Hebrew, Greek, Latin, Spanish, Chinese,French, German, Russian or Swahili! God has reserved 7,000 born from Above, true Apostles and called Saints Who have not bowed their Holy Knees to the false gods of this wicked world, Baal, Ashtoreth, Molech, Beelzebub, Lucifer, Satan, that old serpent, the Devil or Anti-Christ. And they all speak the King's Perfect English so plain that any K-6 Child of any nation can understand It. All AKJV Translation deniers and scoffers face the fair Judgement of Revelation 22: 18&19. We beseech thee, Beloved Brethren, do not add to or take from the Whole Holy Counsel of The Scripture of Truth of GOD Almighty, lest He reprove thee and thou be found a liar.
We, the Children of Light, the Offspring of Love, the Creation of God, THAT and Those Who have Always Been, are not the "people of the Book", what saith the Son, the Christ, the I AM THAT All Living Things Are:" Before Genesis 1:1 was,I AM! Nevertheless, in this latter Day of scripted Enlightenment, there is but One Holy Book of Books inspired by The Holy Spirit, The Spirit of Truth, Who uses It as a teaching device to Guide Us All in the Way of the Truth and the Life. And since the appointed time of A.D. 1611, That One Book is the Authorized by GOD, King James English Translation, as fittingly revised and highlighted by the Red-lettered Words of Jesus in the New Testament
No other scripture, not the Torah sans the New Testament, not the Koran of Mohammad, or the Book of Mormon of Joseph Smith, or the texts of the teachings of Buddhism, Hinduism, Shintoism or any other Eastern belief system's religious writ, or the so-called "Lost Gospels" of Enoch, Thomas, or Mary, etc.,etc., or even The Dead Sea Scrolls, if they don't attest to the manifest Perfection of Our AKJV Bible. These words of the Prophet Jonah yet ring True: "Those that observe lying vanities, forsake their own Mercy." "And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters. And God said Let there be Light; and there was Light." Genesis 1:2 (last sentence) and verse 3, AKJV Translation. Holy, Holy, Holy!!!
