What triggered this thought was an article I read on “WorldNetDaily.Com” yesterday, “Protestant Pastor’s Bible Preferences.”
Ellison Research surveyed 700 Protestant Senior Pastors in America to determine which translation of the Bible was preferred. 31% preferred the NIV translation. 23% selected the King James. 14% chose the NRSV. 13% liked the NKJV, and 10% favored the ASV.

He Appeared in Another Form

Two millenniums ago, Jesus Christ showed up in Palestine, and He was in “the form of a servant, and was made in the likeness of men” (Phil. 2:7). During His earthly life, He appeared as an ordinary man. He looked like a servant. He didn’t have the trappings of a dignitary, or an aristocrat, but His “form” would change from time-to-time as we shall see.

Tradition

In Israel, it was found that a great deal of emphasis was placed upon that which one generation passed on to the other; that is, what father passed on to son. It was found in Israel, at the time of Christ, that layer-upon-layer of tradition had been superimposed over the Word of God. These traditions were the opinions, the doctrines, the practices, the rites, and the customs that were handed down from one generation, in Israel, to the next. As a matter of fact, the word, tradition, means the handing-down, or transmitting of any opinions, or practices from forefathers to descendants without written memorials.

The Bible, Governors and Governments

For the last fifty years, or so, there has been a continual drumbeat, orchestrated by the liberal-atheistic left, that there must be “a wall of separation of church and state.” The Bible, we have been told, is a book about religion, and religion and politics are not to be mixed. For years, the Christians have bought into this idea. We’ve been conditioned to believe, “The Bible is about spiritual and religious matters, not about political matters.”

The Question of Divine Healing

“Unlike so many, we do not peddle the word of God for profit. On the contrary, in Christ we speak before God with sincerity, like men sent from God” (2 Cor. 2:17) NIV
These were the words of the Apostle Paul and could very well be appropriate today as we consider those who preach dishonestly for profit.
Christian radio and television air-ways are teeming with the gospel of “Divine Healing” of the sick in body, mind, or spirit. Many of the air-wave “faith healers,” by implication, impart the idea that they can perform the miracle of healing. Yes, they assert that the “healing”which they preach about is a miraculous healing by God, and “They are simply the instruments through which God works His miracles.”
