ος εστιν εικων του θεου του αορατου πρωτοτοκος πασης κτισεως

(The Son is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn over all creation.) — Colossians 1:15 | Stephen’s Textus Receptus 1550 (STR1550) The Textus Receptus 1550 Greek text is best known as the basis for the King James Version or Authorized Version completed in the year 1611. Cross References: Psalm 89:27; John 1:1; John 1:18; John 14:9; Romans 8:29; 2 Corinthians 4:4; 1 Timothy 1:17

note: ultrakill violence spoilers below!

I figured out the text on the tablet in 7-3; it appears to be biblical text from revelation 9:6! (caveat, I don't know greek beyond the alphabet, but the text seems to match)

this is a verse which translates to (in one popular edition of the bible) "in those days men will seek death and will not find it; they will desire to die, and death will flee from them"

the greek text is "καὶ ἐν ταῖς ἡμέραις ἐκείναις ζητήσουσιν οἱ ἄνθρωποι τὸν θάνατον καὶ οὐχ εὑρήσουσιν αὐτόν καὶ ἐπιθυμήσουσιν ἀποθανεῖν καὶ φεύξεται ὁ θάνατος ἀπ᾽ αὐτῶν"

reference for the bible text refer to the section "TR" (textus receptus) for the greek: https://www.blueletterbible.org/verse/mgnt/rev/9/6/

compare with a screenshot of the text

Let this sink in Catholics, as well as anyone who isn't sure which Bible to read.

The catholic church, for CENTURIES, tortured, burned at the stake, beheaded, slaughtered entire villages and groups of people for translating, reading, and publishing what is known as the Textus Receptus (Recieved Text of Hebrew and Greek).....the text that lead up to the Geneva Bible and then the King James Version.

Over 50 MILLION MEAN, WOMEN, AND CHILDREN...murdered. even up until the mid 1800's the tortures and murders were happening beneath the vatican.

And why? Because the Received Text (KING JAMES VERSION) ABSOLUTLEY 100% COMPLETELY DESTROYS THE "LEGITIMACY" AND MAN MADE DOCTRINES OF THE CATHOLIC CHURCH!! A popes authority, gone! Prayers to Mary, Saints, the dead, gone! PAGAN HOLIDAYS, GONE! Man made traditions and doctrines, Gone! Infant baptism, Gone! Confessing of sins to a priest, Gone! Rituals, statues, rosary, vain repetitions of prayer, all GONE!!!

But here is the pope, condemning the burning of a book that completely denies the divinity of Jesus Christ.

The vatican owns governments, and most all churches. Either through 501c3 status or infiltration. Billions are being lead to the slaughter and they cant put two and two together.

Repent and come out of these churches before its too late.

Why don't you read the King James Bible? I am not a Native English speaker and don't find it that hard to read. It is from the correct Greek text, the Textus Receptus. While the modern versions originate from an altered text by Westcott and Hort.

Are you willing to use the NKJV or another updated translation based on the same manuscripts? If not, then you are being inconsistent.

The manuscripts are not what was inspired by God. The original authors were inspired by God in what they originally wrote and by God’s sovereign grace we have many copies of what they wrote to depend on in translating them into the common language of all peoples.

No translation will be an exactly perfect match. It takes serious study to continually refine our interpretation and it’s through that process God helps the meaning work its application in our hearts. There is liberty for Christians to use a variety of translations that seek to be faithful to the copies we have as much as possible. The more translations the better because it means more study.

I forgot how fun it is to say "Textus Receptus", I think people would read the New Testament more if we still called it that.

i hate the textus receptus.

Revelation 22:19 says, “And if any man shall take away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God shall take away his part out of the book of life, and out of the holy city, and from the things which are written in this book” (KJV). This verse is usually involved in the debate concerning eternal security. Does Revelation 22:19 mean that, after a person’s name is written in the Lamb’s Book of Life, it can at some time in the future be erased? In other words, can a Christian lose his salvation?

First, Scripture is clear that a true believer is kept secure by the power of God, sealed for the day of redemption (Ephesians 4:30), and of all those whom the Father has given to the Son, He will lose none of them (John 6:39). The Lord Jesus Christ proclaimed, “I give them eternal life, and they shall never perish; no one can snatch them out of my hand. My Father, who has given them to me, is greater than all; no one can snatch them out of my Father’s hand” (John 10:28–29b). Salvation is God’s work, not ours (Titus 3:5), and it is His power that keeps us.

If the “anyone” referred to in Revelation 22:19 are not believers, who are they? In other words, who might want to either add to or take away from the words of the Bible? Most likely, this tampering with God’s Word would be done not by true believers but by those who only profess to be Christians and who suppose that their names are in the Book of Life. Generally speaking, the two main groups who have traditionally tampered with God’s revelation are pseudo-Christian cults and those who hold to very liberal theological beliefs. Many cults and theological liberals claim the name of Christ as their own, but they are not “born again”—the definitive biblical term for a Christian.

The Bible cites several examples of those who thought they were believers, but whose profession was proven to be false. In John 15, Jesus refers to them as branches that did not remain in Him, the true Vine, and therefore did not produce any fruit. We know they are false because “by their fruits you shall know them” (Matthew 7:16, 20); true disciples will exhibit the fruit of the Holy Spirit who resides within them (Galatians 5:22). In 2 Peter 2:22, false professors are dogs returning to their own vomit and a sow who “after washing herself returns to wallow in the mire” (ESV). The barren branch, the dog, and the pig are all symbols of those who profess to have salvation, but who have nothing more than their own righteousness to rely upon, not the righteousness of Christ that truly saves. It is doubtful that those who have repented of their sin and been born again would willingly tamper with God’s Word in this way—adding to it or taking from it. Purposefully corrupting God’s Word reveals a lack of faith.

There is another important consideration about the meaning of Revelation 22:19, and it involves translation. Most manuscripts do not even mention the “book of life”; instead, they have “tree of life.” Here is how Revelation 22:19 reads in the NIV: “If anyone takes words away from this scroll of prophecy, God will take away from that person any share in the tree of life and in the Holy City, which are described in this scroll.” Other translations with “tree” instead of “book” are the NASB, ESV, NLT, HCSB, ISV, NET, and ASV, among others. The KJV stands nearly alone in translating it as the “book” of life. The error arose when Erasmus, in compiling his Greek text, was forced to translate the last six verses of Revelation from the Latin Vulgate into Greek. The “tree” became a “book” because a scribe had accidentally replaced the Latin lingo (“tree”) with libro (“book”). All translations that follow the Textus Receptus, such as the KJV, thus incorrectly say “book” instead of “tree” of life.

Arguing for the “tree of life” translation instead of the “book of life” translation are two other verses in the same chapter: Revelation 22:2 and 14. Both mention the “tree of life” and the “city” together, the same as verse 19 does. Also, the word portion or share is significant. The one who corrupts the Word of God will be deprived of access to the tree of life, despite whatever claim he thinks he has to that fruit.

Revelation 3:5 is another verse that impacts this issue. “He who overcomes . . . I will never blot out his name from the book of life.” The “overcomer” mentioned in this letter to Sardis is the Christian. Compare this with 1 John 5:4: “Everyone who is born of God overcomes the world.” And verse 5: “Who is he that overcomes the world? Only he who believes that Jesus is the Son of God.” (See also 1 John 2:13.) All believers are “overcomers” in that they have been granted victory over the sin and unbelief of the world.

Some people see in Revelation 3:5 the picture of God’s pen poised, ready to strike out the name of any Christian who sins. They read into it something like this: “If you mess up and don’t win the victory, then you’re going to lose your salvation! In fact, I will erase your name from the Book of Life!” But this is NOT what the verse says. Jesus is giving a promise here, not a warning.

Never does Scripture say that God erases a believer’s name from the Lamb’s Book of Life—there is never even a warning that He is contemplating it! The wonderful promise of Revelation 3:5 is that Jesus will NOT erase one’s name. Speaking to the “overcomers”—all those redeemed by the blood of the Lamb—Jesus gives His word that He will not delete their names. He affirms that, once a name is there, it is there forever. This is based on the faithfulness of God.

The promise of Revelation 3:5 is directed to believers, who are secure in their salvation. In contrast, the warning of Revelation 22:19 is directed to unbelievers, who, rather than change their hearts toward God, attempt to change God’s Word to suit themselves. Such people will not eat of the tree of life.

Asia Minor and Early Apostolic Succession

@bible-news-prophecy-radio

According to the words of Jesus and the Apostle Paul, was it possible for one city to be the continuous headquarters of the true Christian church for centuries? Where did Hippolytus of Rome and 'Fox's Book of Martyrs' say that the original apostles went? What about Europe, the British Isles India, China, Malaysia, Egypt, Africa, Iran, Antioch, and Asia Minor? Where were most of the books of the New Testament written to or from? Where did the last of the twelve apostles die? What were some of the early apostolic teachings that many changed? What about the change to Sunday? Were Gentiles keeping the Sabbath in the late second century? What about Passover on the 14th? Was Justin Martyr faithful or heretical? What about Melito and Polycrates? Was the Ephesian-dominated era replaced by that of Smyrna? What about binitarianism, millenarianism, and Sabellism? Who were the two possible groups with apostolic succession according to Tertullian? Were there bishops or elders in early Rome? Could apostolic succession passed from John (believed to be the the last of the original apostles to die) to Polycarp of Smyrna? Which early leaders had apostolic succession? Could the headquarters of the most faithful church have moved from Jerusalem to Antioch to Asia Minor to Arsinoe to Antioch to Armenia to the Balkans to elsewhere in Europe to the British Isles and then to North America? Dr. Thiel address these matters and more.
