The MILITANT Church
Join me, Chris, this afternoon at 3 PM Central for a new transmission of God Waves.
After taking an involuntary break from the show last week, we will start a new adventure today, still relating to spiritual warfare.
In this series, we are focsing on the church, not on the enemy. We focus on our own army and take a look at our church, at ourselves.
What do think of when you hear or read the word church?
A building perhaps? The church is not a builidng. Churches, as we are seeing them today were a wordly invention concucted by the state after 300 A.D.
But as Acts tells us, the church are people meeting in their houses, not just going to a church building some Sundays.
Acts 5:42 (KJV)
And daily in the temple, and in every house, they ceased not to teach and preach Jesus Christ.
What picture do you think of when you hear the word Christian man?
A peaceful, docile, softy with no spine, easily pushed around?
This attitude is taught from many puplits in established churches today, but let me be clear: A Chrisian man is not a softy or spineless and submissive man child. He stands up to the world and to religion. Look at Jesus: He cracked the whip at the money changers in the temple. He did not bow to political correctness. He challenged the world, and the reliious status quo day in day out.
John 2:15 (KJV 1900)
15 And when he had made a scourge of small cords, he drove them all out of the temple, and the sheep, and the oxen; and poured out the changers’ money, and overthrew the tables;
Today:
- The Armor of God Eph 6:10-18
- Drafted into Service
- The Character of a Soldier of Christ
- Armageddon - End-Time Downfalls
- The Militant Church - and its Future
- The Militant Chrisian - A Warrior
Let Us Use Our Defenses
The Armor of God:
Ephesians 6:10–18 (KJV 1900)
10 Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the power of his might.
11 Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil.
12 For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.
13 Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand.
14 Stand therefore, having your loins girt about with truth, and having on the breastplate of righteousness;
15 And your feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace;
16 Above all, taking the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked.
17 And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God:
18 Praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, and watching thereunto with all perseverance and supplication for all saints;
Don't be caugt off-guard by the enemy. Equip yourself. Be pepared.

GodWaves - now building a Community on Discord
Killing Sacred Cows The state of the body of Christ, His church, is pitiful:
- The word of God corrupted in misleading bible translations, - wide spread false teachings like cancer weakening individual believers,
- Ignorance, - Lack of courage and faith,
- Powerful denomination bowing to man-made political correctness in direct opposition to God's word.
- Religion and unbelief... .
..Jesus hated it, I hate it. We are shining God's light, unafraid, unapologetic, faithful to the one God, our Creator YHWH - the great I AM.

STOPThe whole idea of a bible 'translation' is already a complete deception by itself.
Theres no such thing as bible translations.
Greek,but even moreso Hebrew,does not lend itself well for 'translation'.
It doesnt matter what 'translation' you use,you will always be missing something.Things will always get lost in translation,no matter what translation you use.The Kings James is certainly no exception to this.
The best way to study the bible is to just let go of the whole idea of a 'perfect' translation,while suggesting all others are misleading.
If this is what one believes,then one is already deceived.
At best,you have an 'interpretation' as opposed to a 'translation'.
The best way to study your bible is to try to dig into the Greek and Hebrew.
And these days you can do exactly that without any knowledge of either languages.
All you need to know and figure out is how to browse a website,and how to click a Strongs-number.
For those seriously interested in biblestudy,heres a true lifesaver:
http://biblehub.com/lexicon/amos/7-1.htm
(just a random bible verse,but it gives you an illustration of what you can do with this tool)
I would agree that the Hebrew in particular requires additional dimensions of translation due to it's root and number meanings.
Greek is a very precise language, and also difficult to translate, as a single word may in many cases only be accurately conveyed in many words or sentences.
Historical and cultural backgrounds are also part of the translation and often ignored, thus giving a skewed context.
There is a difference between a good translation that has its problems (KJV) and purposefully corrupted versions that seek to deceive (NIV, NKJV, ESV, etc). One is still a double edged sword, the others, merely butter knives meant to disarm Christians.
The best linguistic study tools are blueletterbible.org (free) and logos.com (paid).
Indeed, the best way to study God's word is to use native language scripture, using Strongs, etc.

nice post @godwaves! Christian is not just a saying word it is a doing word.
Way To Go!
Church is far from a building! It is the body of believers and we are getting stronger and stronger everyday. It is so cool to see all of the people sharing God's word here on Steemit.
I post a verse everyday and would love to have your comments on some of my posts.
Thank you,
