Tom Fisher - Farm Struggles in Extreme Heat. Biblical Lessons.

 


Dear Pastor Jackson,

Thank you for praying for me, my livestock, and my farm as the hot, dry, humid weather is back. My sheep seem to be more resilient than my cows. I have to pour water on my cows, bull, and steer to get them cooled off.

I have been pondering why I have always used the King James Bible for the last 52 years. I got my first King James Bible in eighth grade. My parents pulled my brothers and me out of the public schools and enrolled us in a Dutch Reformed parochial school. They had one thing right: they used, studied, and memorized the King James Bible as being the true Word of God. I loved to memorize, study, and ponder the true Word of God in the King James Bible. This enabled me to accept and cling to Luther's correct teaching after I graduated from high school. Bible class was my best class. Soon I was memorizing large portions of Scripture. I memorized Isaiah 53 and many precious Old Testament passages such as Isaiah 7:14 and Ezekiel 37:12 and Jeremiah 17:9.  I noticed all of the Old Testament passages being quoted in the New Testament. I experienced the perfect unity of Scripture as a whole. It rang true, just like the huge bell called Big Ben that was attached to the Westminster clock in England. Bells with a crack go clunk. So also the corrupt Bibles (ESV, NIV, NKJV, RSV, ...Beck) go clunk. They do not ring true. They have false doctrine, errors, omissions, and endless subtle corruptions. They hurt my spiritual ears. So I held to the true Word of God in the King James. 

Heretics love the corrupt Bibles (NIV, ESV, NKJV, RSV...). They love doubting the text. They love the footnotes that create doubt in the text. For example the NIV says (The most reliable early manuscripts and other ancient witnesses do not have Mark 16:9-20) What better way to deny the resurrection of Christ than to cast doubt on the text of God's Word. The NIV completely denies Jesus is God and man in one person by stating "He appeared in a body" instead of the King James Bible true reading of 1 Timothy 3:16 that says, "God was manifest in the flesh." The NIV footnote says, "Some manuscripts God" as if the Greek word "theos" which says "God" in English can scarcely be found in any Greek manuscript. This is a lie.

 Are you beginning to see the gravity and seriousness of this? You are in serious trouble with the Lord if you are not extremely upset and deeply troubled by the corruptions, lies, omissions, and extreme errors in the corrupt Bibles (ESV, NIV, ESV, NKJV, Nestle Aland Greek, United Bible Society Greek).

Immerse yourself in reading, pondering, and listening to the true Word of God in the King James Bible. I often tune my 5 G smart phone to the audio King James Bible. In just two hours I can listen to God's Word from the entire book of John. Like Big Ben it rings true, giving me true comfort, true faith in Christ, and a peace that passes all understanding. Only one thing is needful: listening to the true Word of God found in the King James Bible. So turn off the awful TV news and programming and listen to, read, and ponder the true Word of God in the King James Bible.

The temperature was 100 at 3 this afternoon. One of my cows I call "Fuzzy" had her mouth open gasping for breath. I kept pouring cool water on her back until she started breathing normally. I followed the same procedure for all nine of my cows, bull, and steer. My sheep and my guardian dog Ringo are more resilient. It's getting close to evening chores and I am sure my cows will need to be cooled down again.
