The Word

Proverbs 3. 13 – 15

“Happy is the man that findeth wisdom, and the man that getteth understanding.

“For the merchandise of it is better than the merchandise of silver & the gain thereof than fine gold.

“She is more precious than rubies & all the things thou canst desire are not to be compared unto her.”

Where did it start?

The supposed “confusion” between the sexes did NOT start when some weird male put on a dress. Its more likely birth was when women (in western cultures) started being less feminine and began appearing in pants. (Some reader will immediately reject this because his wife/daughter wear pants – or the reader herself does, though she was not raised that way. STOP. Think of a better start for the “confusion.”)

TALENT

 

Define this thing called talent.

Describe its dimensions please.

Does it come in large and small sizes?           

Like holes in Swiss-like cheese.

2

God gives to each man one.

But what if He gave him two?

Or three or half a dozen –

Sorting’s a job to do.

3

What if the talents seem to counter?

If they both cannot be done,

Yet both were given by God –

Both have a right to run.      

– eab, Jun. ‘84

The King James Bible (KJB) and its nearest wannabe…

are DIFFERENT.  Period.  Being “different” (though expressed in other terms) appears to be a major reason for new “bibles.” (Reader, please put on your “thinking cap.”) Both cannot be right. Either the KJB or its competitor must be wrong.  To accept a wannabe “bible” is to reject the KJB. Do you honestly (in light of “death, sod and God”) want to stand with a new little “bible” and therefore oppose the Classic English Bible which has blessed more souls in the last 400 (+) years than any? It’s a serious thing to be an enemy to the KJB.  Please do not be.
