Some Favorite Verses of the King James Bible - Over 257 Phrases Have Entered the English Language


Dear Pastor Jackson,

Could you name 10 Lutheran pastors that preach justification by faith using the KJV as Walter A Maier??

I can name one: Pastor Gregory L. Jackson PhD

Like Elijah we think all Lutheran pastors are apostate.  It seems they all bow the knee to OJ and the corrupt Bible translations.

I hope God gives us faithful Lutheran pastors like Walter A Maier PhD and pastor Gregory L Jackson PhD. If you know of any they should be featured on your blog: Ichabod The Glory Has Departed.

In Christ,

“Do not worry about your life, what you will eat or drink; or about your body, what you will wear. Is not life more important than food, and the body more important than clothes?
Look at the birds of the air; they do not sow or reap or store away in barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not much more valuable than they?

Who of you by worrying can add a single hour to his life?

And why do you worry about clothes? See how the lilies of the field grow. They do not labour or spin. Yet I tell you that not even Solomon in all his splendor was dressed like one of these. If that is how God clothes the grass of the field, which is here today and tomorrow is thrown into the fire, will he not much more clothe you, O you of little faith?

So do not worry, saying, ``What shall we eat?'' or ``What shall we drink?'' or ``What shall we wear?'' For the pagans run after all these things, and your heavenly Father knows that you need them. But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well.

Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own.

The Parables of Jesus, Luke 7 -
The Sinful Woman, Simon's Answer, And Jesus

 


This parable follows a well-known event, although the woman’s name is not given and the sinful state is not described at all. Leave it to the busy scholars to apply her name and describe the sinfulness, even though the sinfulness and the parable following are general, much more applicable to all people. In contrast, giving the woman’s name and sin would make it easy for many to say, “I thank God I am not like her.” The Pharisee who invited Jesus to dinner served that role well. Centuries have passed, offering many ways to look down on her life, making the details and parable far more significant.

KJV Luke 7: 36 And one of the Pharisees desired him that he would eat with him. And he went into the Pharisee's house, and sat down to meat. 37 And, behold, a woman in the city, which was a sinner, when she knew that Jesus sat at meat in the Pharisee's house, brought an alabaster box of ointment, 38 And stood at his feet behind him weeping, and began to wash his feet with tears, and did wipe them with the hairs of her head, and kissed his feet, and anointed them with the ointment. 39 Now when the Pharisee which had bidden him saw it, he spake within himself, saying, This man, if he were a prophet, would have known who and what manner of woman this is that toucheth him: for she is a sinner.

The Pharisee’s inward response was known to Jesus since nothing escapes God. The disdainful reaction is with us today, whether responding to known sinners, or the disabled, or those excluded for not belonging to the correct social class, race, denomination, or grandparents.

            The parable following the event becomes one about Simon, or us. The Scriptures do not honor gifts to pay for past sins, current continuous sins erased by the gratitude of synod officials, or other distortions of the Gospel. Simon would go on to commit the greatest sin, denying Jesus Christ at the worst of times, when his Teacher was on trial for his life, even though the disciple said he would never desert Jesus. So Jesus asked Simon, if a money-lender loaned 500 coins to one man and only 50 to another, which penniless debtor would be most thankful for loan forgiveness?

KJV Luke 7:43 Simon answered and said, I suppose that he, to whom he forgave most. And he said unto him, Thou hast rightly judged.

The disciple answered correctly, but more details were included, so that the woman judged by the righteous Pharisee is far more thankful than Simon. “Look at her, Simon!”

KJV Luke 7: 44 And he turned to the woman, and said unto Simon, Seest thou this woman? I entered into thine house, thou gavest me no water for my feet: but she hath washed my feet with tears, and wiped them with the hairs of her head. 45 Thou gavest me no kiss: but this woman since the time I came in hath not ceased to kiss my feet. 46 My head with oil thou didst not anoint: but this woman hath anointed my feet with ointment. 47 Wherefore I say unto thee, Her sins, which are many, are forgiven; for she loved much: but to whom little is forgiven, the same loveth little. 48 And he said unto her, Thy sins are forgiven. 49 And they that sat at meat with him began to say within themselves, Who is this that forgiveth sins also? 50 And he said to the woman, Thy faith hath saved thee; go in peace.
