[Note to Blog Readers: Expositor Notes Are in Bold Italic  Font]

There are some souls in the World who has been brought up by the True doctrine by, True Teachers of God and many of them have noticed the false doctrines of satan, slipping out into the world, they are the ones who are Saved by God. The false teachers are not Saved and Satan is using them to pervert the True Gospel of Jesus Christ and has slipped into many Churches. I can tell by the false Bibles that they use. Which would be like, New King James, Amplified, NIV, ESV, NIT, NLT, the Amplified and whatever else that is not a King James Bible, is of Satan. Friends, I have done my research and compared the Bibles together and the ones listed above, are not Bibles. Many will argue with me on this and say that the King James is not of the original Manual Transcripts. They are wrong in so many levels on this. The first Bible was the Geneeva Bible, which are of Greek and Hebrew, no one could read it. It then was transformed into English, which brings us to the King James Bible. Everything that was in the Original manual Scripts, is 100 percent in the King James. Anything that is printed, prior to the King James, is all a new cart. Meaning it is not of God, nor was those false books are ordained by God.

In the four corners sit Matthew, Mark, Luke and John, authors of the four gospels, with their symbolic animals. The rest of the Apostles (with Judas facing away) stand around Peter and Paul. At the very top is the Tetragrammaton "יהוה".

The King James Version (KJV), commonly known as the Authorized Version (AV) or King James Bible (KJB), is an English translation of the Christian Bible for the Church of England begun in 1604 and completed in 1611.[2] First printed by the King's Printer Robert Barker,[3][4] this was the third translation into English to be approved by the English Church authorities. The first was the Great Bible commissioned in the reign of King Henry VIII (1535), and the second was the Bishops' Bible of 1568.[5] In January 1604, King James VI and I convened the Hampton Court Conference where a new English version was conceived in response to the perceived problems of the earlier translations as detected by the Puritans,[6] a faction within the Church of England.[7]

James gave the translators instructions intended to guarantee that the new version would conform to the ecclesiology and reflect the episcopal structure of the Church of England and its belief in an ordained clergy.[8] The translation was done by 47 scholars, all of whom were members of the Church of England.[9] In common with most other translations of the period, the New Testament was translated from Greek, the Old Testament was translated from Hebrew and Aramaic text, while the Apocrypha were translated from the Greek and Latin. In the Book of Common Prayer (1662), the text of the Authorized Version replaced the text of the Great Bible – for Epistle and Gospel readings – and as such was authorized by Act of Parliament.[10] By the first half of the 18th century, the Authorized Version had become effectively unchallenged as the English translation used in Anglican and Protestant churches. Over the course of the 18th century, the Authorized Version supplanted the Latin Vulgate as the standard version of scripture for English-speaking scholars. With the development of stereotype printing at the beginning of the 19th century, this version of the Bible became the most widely printed book in history, almost all such printings presenting the standard text of 1769 extensively re-edited by Benjamin Blayney at Oxford; and nearly always omitting the books of the Apocrypha. Today the unqualifed title 'King James Version' commonly identifies this Oxford standard text, especially in the United States. If your on Facebook, just look through my wall and you will see the facts.

We are to expose false doctrine, meaning, looking at anything that is being Preached and conforming if it lines up with the King James Bible. We are to Judge false doctrines and false Teachers. We Christians are the ones who will be Judging the world with God. If you can’t Judge the smallest matters here on earth? Then how are you going to be able to Judge the bigger matters with God? Those who rejects the teachings of God’s Word, will be rejected from Heaven and thrown in the lake of fire, at the time of their death, God’s Word is clear on that. Lets get started with this study.

Romans 16:1-27 (KJV)
1 I commend unto you Phebe our sister, which is a servant of the Church which is at Cenchrea (the word “servant” in the Greek is “diakonos,” with our words “Deacon” and “Deaconess” derived from it; this shows that it is Scriptural for a woman to serve in this capacity as well as a man; Cenchrea was the Port of Corinth, about nine miles from that city): 2 That you receive her in the Lord, as becometh Saints (refers to receiving her into companionship and fellowship; in fact, she delivered the Epistle to the Romans to the Church in Rome; of this, Renan says: “Phoebe carried under the folds of her robe the whole future of Christian Theology), and that you assist her in whatsoever business she has need of you (suggests that she may have had business in Rome of a legal nature): for she has been a succourer of many, and of myself also (Phoebe was a great Blessing to the Work of God).

PERSONAL GREETINGS
3 Greet Priscilla and Aquila my helpers in Christ Jesus (Paul first met them at Corinth, but evidently they had now gone back to Rome): 4 Who have for my life laid down their own necks (means they risked their lives for Paul; exactly where and how aren’t known): unto whom not only I give thanks, but also all the Churches of the Gentiles (all the Churches of the Gentiles thanked Priscilla and Aquila as well). 5 Likewise greet the Church that is in their house (evidently, they had one of the house Churches in Rome). Salute my well-beloved Epaenetus, who is the Firstfruits of Achaia unto Christ (this man was among the first in Corinth to give his heart to Christ). 6 Greet Mary, who bestowed much labour on us (other than this statement, no information is given concerning this dear lady). 7 Salute Andronicus and Junia, my kinsmen (probably refers to fellow Jews, and not blood relatives), and my fellow-prisoners (implies that these two had been, like himself, imprisoned at some time for the Faith), who are of note among the Apostles (doesn’t mean they were Apostles themselves, but that they were well-known to the original Twelve), who also were in Christ before me (their conversion predated his). 8 Greet Amplias my beloved in the Lord. 9 Salute Urbane, our helper in Christ, and Stachys my beloved (it seems these men had been Paul’s helpers in earlier times). 10 Salute Apelles approved in Christ. Salute them which are of Aristobulus’ household (probably refers to slaves who had once belonged to this man). 11 Salute Herodion my kinsman (another Jew). Greet them who be of the household of Narcissus, which are in the Lord (does not refer to Narcissus personally, but to slaves of his household, at least those who were followers of the Lord). 12 Salute Tryphena and Tryphosa, who labour in the Lord (presents two more slaves, for theirs are slave names). Salute the beloved Persis, which laboured much in the Lord (refers to a woman). 13 Salute Rufus chosen in the Lord, and his mother and mine (he was probably the son of Simon of Cyrene who helped Jesus bear the Cross). 14 Salute Asyncritus, Phlegon, Hermas, Patrobas, Hermes, and the Brethren which are with them. 15 Salute (greet) Philologus, and Julia, Nereus, and his sister, and Olympas, and all the Saints which are with them. 16 Salute one another with an holy kiss (presents that which was the custom of all Oriental people at that time, not only Christians). The Churches of Christ salute you (refers to the Churches planted by Paul who in turn were greeting the Church in Rome).

ADMONITION
17 Now I beseech you, brethren, mark them which cause divisions and offences contrary to the doctrine which you have learned (refers to the fact that false teachers are to be identified); and avoid them (turn away from and shun these). 18 For they who are such serve not our Lord Jesus Christ, but their own belly (the satisfaction of creature needs, and not the Work of God); and by good words and fair speeches deceive the hearts of the simple (refers to those who have little true understanding of the Word of God).

OBEDIENCE
19 For your obedience is come abroad unto all men (refers to Paul not linking the Saints in the Church in Rome with these false teachers, whomever they may have been). I am glad therefore on your behalf (expresses his joy at their maturity in the Lord): but yet I would have you wise unto that which is good, and simple concerning evil (he wanted them to be so grounded in the Word that they would instantly know false doctrine when it came their way). 20 And the God of Peace shall bruise Satan under your feet shortly (all who trust Christ and what He has done at the Cross are guaranteed victory, and in every capacity). The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you. Amen (presents the standard Benediction of Paul, which he uses in one form or the other in all of his Epistles, even Hebrews).

GREETINGS
21 Timothy my workfellow (refers to Paul’s young understudy and fellow worker), and Lucius, and Jason, and Sosipater, my kinsmen (fellow Jews), salute you. 22 I Tertius, who wrote this Epistle, salute you in the Lord (he was Paul’s Scribe to whom he dictated the letter to the Romans). 23 Gaius my host, and of the whole Church, salutes you (probably means that Paul was staying in this man’s home in Corinth). Erastus the chamberlain of the city salutes you (probably the one mentioned in II Tim. 4:20 and Acts 19:22), and Quartus a brother. 24 The Grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all. Amen.

BENEDICTION
25 Now to Him Who is of power to stablish you according to my Gospel (Paul’s Gospel was, “Jesus Christ and Him Crucified”), and the Preaching of Jesus Christ (Paul Preached the Cross [I Cor. 1:23; 2:2]), according to the Revelation of the Mystery, which was kept secret since the world began (proclaims that which is now revealed in his Gospel, the story of Redemption), 26 But now is made manifest (the actual Greek reads, “but now has been made known through Prophetic writings”), and by the Scriptures of the Prophets (refers to the Old Testament, which Scriptures constantly pointed to the coming of Christ), according to the Commandment of the Everlasting God (actually means that, according to the appointment of God, the “Mystery” should now at last be made known), made known to all nations for the Obedience of Faith (it must be Preached to the whole world): 27 T o God only wise, be Glory through Jesus Christ forever. Amen (the Great Price Jesus paid by giving himself in Sacrifice will forever bring Glory to God, in that it has brought about the Salvation of untold numbers of souls).

2 Timothy 4:20 (KJV)
20 Erastus abode at Corinth (probably means he had now gone back to that city, which, in effect, was his home): but Trophimus have I left at Miletum sick.

Acts 19:22 (KJV)
22 So he sent into Macedonia two of them who ministered unto him, Timothy and Erastus (concerned preparations they would make in the Churches for Paul’s visit a short time later); but he himself stayed in Asia for a season (stayed in Ephesus a little longer, maybe two or three months).

1 Corinthians 1:23 (KJV)
23 But we preach Christ Crucified (this is the Foundation of the Word of God and, thereby, of Salvation), unto the Jews a stumblingblock (the Cross was the stumblingblock), and unto the Greeks foolishness (both found it difficult to accept as God a dead Man hanging on a Cross, for such Christ was to them);

1 Corinthians 2:2 (KJV)
2 For I determined not to know any thing among you (with purpose and design, Paul did not resort to the knowledge or philosophy of the world regarding the preaching of the Gospel), save Jesus Christ, and Him Crucified (that and that alone is the Message, which will save the sinner, set the captive free, and give the Believer perpetual Victory)

Jesus Christ has paid it all at the Cross at Calvary. Anyone who bad mouth’s the Word of God and does not repent, will end up in hell, after this life. Same thing about those who rejects Jesus Christ, the Cross and Him Crucified. If your heart is filled with filth of the world, it reject Jesus Christ and the Cross as well and are not Saved. Many people in this world are in so much trouble with self worship. What is self worship? It is when you say that you can change yourselves, without God’s help. Friends, if you need to change anything like, from stop smoking, cursing, living by being gay or an lesbianism, doing drugs, being a drunkard, being anything that is not of God. Let God into your heart, mind and soul and allow Him do the Changing in your lives. You can’t do this yourselves or by your ways. You only can do the Changing through the Power of the Holy Spirit, which is by God Almighty. Your ways is what got you where you are in the first place. Its God’s ways and not your ways. Give your life to God, by laying your whole self at the Cross. Allow the Blood of Jesus Christ cover your past, present and future sins, so you maybe Saved. Trust, Believe in Jesus Christ and what He did at the Cross and in His Resurrection and you will be Saved. God’s Promise to those who Obey and Believe. Lets Close in Prayer.
