Jesus Christ, has never ceased to be upon the earth : revolted against the RCC to an attempt to

OUR ARGUE ABOUT THE KJV

- We have reasons why we are using KJV
but we do not claim that the only ones
who uses KJV will be saved
3 THINGS TO CONSIDER BEFORE CHOOSING

BIBLE TRANSLATIONS
1. Text- where the Bible is translated from

- Should ne from Byzantine not from
Alexandrian
- KJV is translated from Byzantine
2. Theological- changes and omission that
will pollute/ dilute theological
significance (Mt. 4:4; Jn. 1:18; Acts 8:35-
38; 1Tim 3:16)
- KJV was written to correct the wrong
theological doctrines caused by the
Roman Catholic Church during the time of
King James 1.
3. Technique/ Method used in
translating- translating each thought not
through translation and interpretation
- King James 1 gathered scholars to
carefully translate each word of the Bible
4. Preservation- oldest physical copies,
sheer volume, testifies God being at move

>The Preventives Against Sin

1. The Word of God: the Bible will keep
one from sinning or sin will keep one
from the Bible
2. The intercession of the Son of God:
Divine intercession would be sin unto
death
3. The ministry of the Spirit of God: He
convicts us
>The Remedy for Sin

A. For the unbeliever: is to repent from
his sin and avail forgiveness of all
trespasses and be saved by believing and
accepting the Lord Jesus Christ as the only
Lord and Saviour of his life
B. For the believer: to confess his sin and
be restored into the fellowship and right
relationship with God
XI. The Reason for Sin

1. God created both angels and men as
intelligent creatures possessing moral
natures which could determine and
choose between right and wrong: if God
stopped them, he would have violated
their moral natures and reduced them to
mere robots
2. God allowed man to sin so that He
might display His grace: where there is
no sin, there is no need of grace
XII. The Ultimate and Final Victory Over Sin:

The Lord Jesus Christ is our Ultimate and Final
Victory Over Sin

- In religion, a prophet is: details are given Psalm 22, Isaiah

10 Dispensation of Prophecies
1. The Rapture of the Church- The term rapture is derived from the Latin verb rapere, which means “to
transport from one place to another.” It will take place when the Lord Jesus comes in the air to catch up his
own. (1 Thess. 4:15-17; 1 Cor. 15:51-53). The rapture will take place before the tribulation (pre-tribulation)
and includes all believers (Rom. 5:9; 1 Thess. 1:10). The church will escape the tribulation. As God’s
ambassadors on earth, we will be called home before the tribulation just as a king calls back his ambassador
from another country before a war starts (Rev. 4:1; 2 Cor. 5:20). Its purpose is to judge and reward the church
of God, and to remove the Spirit of God.
2. The Bema—The Judgement Seat of Christ- The word bema in Greek was a “reward seat.” After the church
has been called home to heaven, the Lord will gather every member before the bema for the purpose of
examining each one giving the proper reward to each. At bema judgement all stewards (believers) will stand
before their Lord and Master and be required to give an account of the way they have used their privileges
and responsibilities from the moment of their conversion. 1 Cor. 3:10-13 gives us an idea that God classifies
the works of believers into one of the following six areas: gold, silver, precious stones, wood, hay, stubble.
These works will be tested into fire and only those indestructible objects (gold, silver, and precious stones)
will survive and thrive in fire and be offered to God. Though it is difficult to know just what goes to make
up a “golden work” or a “stubble work,” we are informed that God is interested in certain areas of our lives.
Some will receive rewards/ crowns: incorruptible, rejoicing, life, righteousness, and glory. These “crowns”
will actually be talents and abilities with which to glorify Christ. But, sadly, some will also suffer loss.

BD 31-32
3. The Marriage of the Lamb- the

Marriage of the Lamb will be privately
conducted in heaven, perhaps shortly
after the bema judgement seat
of Christ. The wedding supper
will be publicly conducted on
earth shortly after the Second Coming
of Christ. Christ, the beloved Son will
be married to the church, then
after that, the Father of all grace will
rise to the occasion by giving His Son
and the
bride a hallelujah celebration

which will last for a thousand years.
4. The Crisis of a Seven-sealed

Book- This will occur after the church
was raptured. Revelation 5:12,
reveals the vision of John about the
throne in Heaven, where Jesus
holds a Seven-sealed book.
What’s written in the book still
remains a mystery to us for God to
unfold. But we know that “Sealed with
seven seals” means that this book is
closed in completeness.
5. The Tribulation- the word is derived

from the Latin tribulum, which
was an agricultural tool used for
separating the husks from the corn. As
found in the Bible, the theological
implications would include such
concepts as a pressing together, an
affliction, a burdening with
anguish and trouble, a binding with
oppression. It is mentioned in
“seventy weeks prophecy” of
Daniel which tells that tribulation will
take place for a period of 7 years of which
the first 3 ½ years, antichrist will make a seven-year pact with Israel (peace) and the next 3 ½ years will be the
period that antichrist will break his pact with Israel, and will begin his terrible bloodbath. At the end of the last
week (and of the entire period) the true Messiah will come and establish his perfect Millennium.
6. The Second Coming of Christ- Will happen immediately after the tribulation, Christ the Saviour will
return and touch down upon the Mt. of Olives and gather the Israelite remnant in
Edom to march towards Armageddon together

1. Denial of God and His Word

V. Distinguishing Marks of the Cults

1. They have a human founder
2. Lacks doctrine
3. They live fearfully especially with the thought of death
VI. Common Alibi of the Cults: that the church that Jesus Christ built failed and there came the need to build another
one. Christ called people to establish a new church.

VII. Beliefs About God

4. Deism - they believe in the deity of God and that He created them but has endowed laws and left them to
their own.
5. Finite Godism – is the belief that a god is limited.
6. Panentheism - the belief or doctrine that God is greater that the universe and interpenetrates it.
7. Pantheism - all is god, everything is god
8. Atheism - no belief in God or denial in the existence of any supernatural being.

*** An effective expositor is first an effective exegete.
Exegesis precedes exposition. The exegetical process
takes place in the workshop, the warehouse. It is a process
in private, a perspiring task in which the Bible student
examines the backgrounds, meanings, and forms of
words; studies the structure and parts of sentences; seeks
to ascertain the original textual reading (textual criticism);
etc. But not all those details are shared when he preaches
or teaches the Bible. Exegesis is thus a means to an end,
a step toward exposition. Exegesis is more technical and
is basic to exposition, which is more practical. In the
privacy of his study the exegete seeks to comprehend the
exact meaning of the Bible passage being studied. But in
the pulpit or classroom the expositor, having built his
material on an exegetical base, seeks to communicate that
content. One is to the other as the foundation is to the

6. Logical discourse- This genre of biblical
literature is also called epistolary literature and
refers to the epistles of the New Testament,
Romans through Jude. The Epistles generally
include two kinds of material: (a) expository
discourse, which expounds certain truths or
doctrines, often with logical support for those
truths, and (b) hortatory discourse, which
includes exhortations to follow certain courses of
action or to develop certain characteristics in light

7. Prophetic literature- Prophetic literature is
material that includes predictions of the future at
the time of the writing of the material with
injunctions often included that those who hear the
prophecy adjust their lives in light of the
predictions.
How Does an Awareness of Literary Genre Help in
Understanding the Bible?
- An awareness of the literary genre or kind of
literature of a given Bible book helps more in
synthesis than detailed analysis. It helps give a
sense of the overall thrust of the Bible book, so
that verses and paragraphs can be seen in light of
the whole. This helps prevent the problem of
taking verses out of context. It also gives insight
into the nature and purpose of an entire book, as
seen, for example, in the Book of Jonah.
Structural patterns help us see why certain
passages are included where they are. Also
attention to literary genre keeps us from making
more of the passage than we should or from
making less of the passage than we should.
