| CAN TWO WALK TOGETHER (WITH A DIFFERENT VERSION)? |

6:14 Be ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers: for what fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness? and what communion hath light with darkness? 6:15 And what concord hath Christ with Belial? or what part hath he that believeth with an infidel? 6:16 And what agreement hath the temple of God with idols? for ye are the temple of the living God; as God hath said, I will dwell in them, and walk in [them]; and I will be their God, and they shall be my people. 6:17 Wherefore come out from among them, and be ye separate, saith the Lord, and touch not the unclean [thing]; and I will receive you, 6:18 And will be a Father unto you, and ye shall be my sons and daughters, saith the Lord Almighty.
THERE ARE AT LEAST FOUR THINGS IN THE LIFE OF THE BELIEVER THAT ARE DEPENDENT UPON THE PURE, UNADULTERATED WORD OF GOD. FIRST IS FORGIVENESS. 1PETER 1:23 SAYS, "BEING BORN AGAIN...BY THE WORD OF GOD, WHICH LIVETH AND ABIDETH FOREVER." SECOND IS FORMATION. 1PETER2:2 SAYS,"....DESIRE THE SINCERE MILK OF THE WORD, THAT YE MAY GROW THEREBY:"THIRD IS FAITH. ROMANS 10:17 STATES, "SO THEN FAITH COMETH BY HEARING AND HEARING BY THE WORD OF GOD." THE FOURTH THING IS FOUNDATION. MATTHEW 7:24 AND 27 SAYS, WHOSOEVER HEARETH THESE SAYINGS OF MINE AND DOETH THEM, I WILL LIKEN HIM UNTO A WISE MAN....AND EVERY ONE THAT HEARETH.... AND DOETH THEM NOT , SHALL BE LIKENED UNTO A FOOLISH MAN, WHICH BUILT HIS HOUSE UPON THE SAND."
UNDOUBTEDLY THERE ARE HUNDREDS OF OTHER SERIOUS SPIRITUAL ISSUES THAT THE BIBLE TEACHES WHICH CAN ONLY COME FROM AN INCORRUPTIBLE, INERRANT WORD OF GOD. IF THIS IS SO ( AND GOD IS NOT A LIAR!), THEN PERHAPS IT IS TIME TO TAKE A STAND AGAINST THE MODERN SOCIAL CLIMATE THAT INSISTS ON TOLERANCE AND NEUTRALITY CONCERNING THE ISSUES SURROUNDING THE VERY INSPIRATION AND PRESERVATION OF THE WORD OF GOD!
DARE WE SAY, THAT IT'S TIME TO VOCALLY TAKE A STAND FOR THE OLD KING JAMES BIBLE? IS IT INFALLIBLE? IS IT INERRANT? IS IT PERFECT? IF SO, HOW CAN WE PRETEND TO WALK IN AGREEMENT WITH THOSE WHOM HAVE A VERY DIFFERENT BASIS FOR EVERYTHING THEY BELIEVE AND TEACH? JUST THOUGHT I'D ASK!
