Greatest CLASSIC. Period

The King James Bible is the Greatest CLASSIC in the English language. Older English writers: Shakespeare, Chaucer, even the greatest secular writers Bunyan and Milton take a back seat to this Wonderful Book.  No English Book has ever had the influence of this presentation of God Word. It has influenced grammar, history, literature, science etc. But, of course, the greatest influence of this Awesome Text is It’s Light about how to enter the Kingdom of God. It is absolutely Powerful!

IT WAS LOVE

 

Why should the Father even bother

With the sinful race of men

Who have spurned and then turned

From any thought of Him?

2

There was only One begotten Son

And He was so willing to be

The sacrifice that would suffice

Willing to die on that tree.

Saints love God.

They love Him above (i.e. more than) themselves. A male saint loves God above his wife.

A female saint loves God above her husband. Sainted parents love the Lord above their sons/daughters.

Sainted sons/daughters love God above parents. Saints love God more than state, school, or sanctuary.

No one will be in heaven who loved anyone/anything more than he/she loved God.

Been this way since age began – will be this way when age ends. Amen.

Revelation 2. 26 – 28

“And he that overcometh, and keepeth my works unto the end, to him will I give power over the nations:

“And he shall rule them with a rod of iron; as the vessels of a potter shall they be broken to shivers: even as I received of my Father.

“And I will give him the morning star.”

* Man is dressed in black

* There are Pews (or equivalent)

* There is Reverence

* “Amen” corner is replaced with the jury seats

* There are Referrals to Book of Law

* Men’s destinies are settled there

* Testimony is heard

* Time is taken from worldly activities

SET FREE

 

Most glorious for man,

beyond comprehension’s span,

The Greatest of Beings loves me.

His Son died and rose again,

to save me from sin;

Now I can be eternally, forever, set free!

The B i b l e deserves the best

systematic, scholarly study. It is the only Book written by God. A man may write one book, some men have written two, three, five books and all these added together make up the libraries of the world. God has written only one Book. The Holy Writings give us the one opportunity to read what God Himself has expressly designed for human understanding.

– eab, 1970’s (?)
