The Barnyard Bible Study + 18 Oct 2005 8


ps I think I blogged the wrong chapter Goat. I am sorry.

Goat you are not the only one who prefers the King James Bible too.

I like it too. I also like the amplified because it has the Hebrew in the Old testament and the Greek in the New Testement.inclosed in ( ) or [ ] as in : Matthew 5:3-4

(AMP) 3.Blessed (happy, to be envied, and spiritually prosperous--with life-joy and satisfaction in God's favor and salvation, regardless of their outward conditions) are the poor in spirit (the humble, who rate themselves insignificant), for theirs is the kingdom of heaven!

4.Blessed and enviably happy [with a happiness produced by the experience of God's favor and especially conditioned by the revelation of His matchless grace] are those who mourn, for they shall be comforted!


comparison
(KJV)
Matthew 5:3-4

3.Blessed are the poor in spirit: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.

4.Blessed are they that mourn: for they shall be comforted.

Matthew 6 (King James Version)

Matthew 6 (Amplified Bible)

just a thought or two...

All of us have pet peeves, because we are human. Because we have such a performance-oriented, work-ethic mentality of accomplishing the objectives of any task, there is a constant tendency among Christians to question their responsibilities, what they must do, to live the Christian life. It is not what we do, but what He does that constitutes the living of the Christian life. Jesus told His disciples, "Apart from Me, you can do nothing" (John 15:5). Paul, a religious activist if there ever was one, admitted that "we are not adequate in ourselves to consider anything as coming from ourselves, but our adequacy is from God" (II Cor. 3:5).

Being the Christian we have become is not effected by increased dedication and commitment to God or the church. Nor is Christian growth and behavior enacted by "studying to show oneself approved to God" by the Gnostic acquisition of additional biblical and doctrinal knowledge. Emotional experiences do not make one a better Christian. Participation in activist causes, or serving the Lord in ministry or missions opportunities are not creditable means of enhancing the Christian life. God is "not served with human hands, as though He needed anything" (Acts 17:25). Paul credited Christ for everything in his life and ministry, when he wrote, "I do not presume to speak of anything except what Christ has accomplished through me" (Rom. 15:18)

What does it mean, then, to be a Christian? Christianity is Christ! A Christian is one in whom Jesus Christ lives by His Spirit, and one who allows the life and character of Jesus Christ to be lived out through his/her behavior, in order to function as intended to the glory of God (Isa. 43:7).

I struggle each day to keep my eyes upon Jesus because life is just as fleeting as a breath. But I know I have so much to learn,So much to let him accomplish in me, yet I know Jesus Love me, and he loves you.
