“For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek.” — Romans 1:16

Welcome to The Peoples Gospel Hour!

The Bible reveals two ways which people are following to get into heaven. One way, the true way, is God’s way. God’s way into heaven is the way of peace and truth and righteousness. It is the only way approved of God. This way centers in the Lord Jesus Christ who said: “I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by Me” (John 14:6). The Bible declares that there is another way. “There is a way which seemeth right unto a man, but the end thereof are the ways of death” (Prov. 14:12).

There are so many popular ways today filled with lost multitudes all over the land, such as the way of morality, the way of respectability, the way of religion, the way of churchianity, the way of baptism, the way of christening, the way of confirmation, the way of penance, the way of confession, the way of “doing the best I can”, the way of self, the way of education, the way of philosophy, the way of false isms and cults that crowd the street. Little wonder then when we speak to people about the way of salvation, that so many have asked, “How can I know which is the true way? There are so many different ideas and so many religions.”

But there is ONE difference between God’s way of salvation and man’s way, and that difference is found in a Person, the Lord Jesus Christ. You will notice that man leaves Christ out of the center of his way. You will discover that the modern false cults and isms demote Christ to a mere man and add something to what He has already done for your salvation and mine. We become children of God through a supernatural birth. Jesus said to Nicodemus: “Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God” (John 3:3). Jesus also said, “Marvel not that I said unto thee, Ye must be born again” (John 3:7)

    Sodomy and The New International Version (NIV) – III

             

                                                                     Get ye up from the wrath of God’s terrible day!

                                                            Ungirded, unsandalled, arise and away!

                                                          ‘Tis the vintage of blood, ’tis the fullness of time,

                                                           Vengeance shall gather the harvest of crime!

    Jesus stands ready to forgive all sexual sin. The one caveat is that his forgiveness must be preceded by genuine repentance. Genuine repentance says that what I did was wrong, and with God’s help, I do not intend to commit that same sin again. Jesus is always prepared to forgive on that basis, no matter how grievous the sin. But this is the kind of repentance where self-justifying homosexuals are not prepared to offer. In fact, quite in contrast to this, they do not believe they need to repent at all. They do not believe that what they promote and celebrate is in fact sexual sin at all. They do not want Jesus’ forgiveness for their sin. They want his approval. This is something he cannot and will never offer.

    Thus the truth is that unrepentant homosexuals, like all unrepentant sinners, are not even in a position to claim the first half of Jesus’ statement, “Neither do I condemn thee go and sin no more”. Forgiveness is reserved exclusively for those who repent of sin. It’s not available to those who defend, justify or celebrate it. Jesus’ words, therefore, to unrepentant homosexuals are not his words to the woman taken in adultery. They are the same as the very first words he spoke in his public ministry: “The kingdom of God is at hand; repent and believe in the gospel” (Mark 1:15). And has a different word, a word of compassion and hope, for repentant homosexuals today: “Neither do I condemn thee; go, and sin no more!” those who engage in abnormal sexual behavior such as homosexuality have a “human right” to advance their lifestyle upon other people. Meaning, anyone who disapproves of said behavior is violating their “human rights” and should be rebuked accordingly. Do we love the sinner? Yes, we do as Jesus loved every sinner and wants and waits for them to be saved (John 3:16). We will be witnessing , praying , and pleading with them, wherever and whenever we get the opportunity, anywhere they may be.

    Something must be said, in answer to the view that Sodomy is a condition having a genetic or an environmental cause rather than being sin. Christians are told to recognize this; and the failure to do this creates all the problems. Biological or behavioral determinism provides no explanation in science for homosexuality. Psychotherapy in reality enables Sodomites to sin without guilt and without shame. This behavior is the degrading passion of a depraved mind. Ultimately, if man is not at fault, God must be to blame. “ Why hast thou made me thus?” As with every other sin, God holds the Sodomite to account. This sin is not to be accommodated but something to be repented.

    Biblical teaching of sin of Sodomy does not amount to irrational prejudice. To insist on treating Sodomy as a predetermined and fixed condition is cruel and extreme, and condemns the Sodomites to remain forever shackled to inordinate lust a prisoner winch no remission or hope of release. Only when Sodomy is recognized as sin is there hope of deliverance and redemption. The Gospel calls upon all sinners everywhere to repent, to come to Christ for cleansing in His shed blood, and that includes Sodomites. “ … and such were some of you : but ye are washed, but ye are sanctified, but ye are justified in the name the Lord Jesus and by the Spirit of our God.” 1st Corinthians 6:1

    Having said this by the way of introduction to our subject, we come to the issue at hand: The King James Bible has always been trustworthy and its truths will stand proudly until the Lord returns. The question is often asked, “ Is the New International Version (NIV) a reliable translation?” It is a general consensus among the evangelical community that the NIV is an excellent rendition of what God has said to mankind. Those who endorse this version are probably brought about for two reasons: 1.The translators claimed to be Evangelicals and 2.the Evangelicals endorse the modern techniques of textual criticism that were employed. However there are many of us who hold a totally different view about the NIV. We see many new words and concepts and we are convinced that these changes not only are not necessary, some even detract from the God’s Word. The truth never changes and if the NIV were a true translation of the Bible, it would reflect the same thoughts as the KJB that has been around for centuries.

    The major difference between NIV and KJB falls in the area of providential preservation of the Scriptures, which has to do on how God has protected His Word and kept it accurate throughout the generations. The KJB advocates are fully committed to an accurate translation based on the conviction that the Bible is the verbally inspired Word of God, and that God has preserved it in its pure form for all generations- through the Hebrew Masoretic text and the Greek Textus Receptus.

    On the other hand the NIV translators hold the view that the Bible had become corrupted over the centuries and they could produce the original wordings by various literary techniques. So discarding the KJB translation, they developed an eclectic text – A style or composition that selects and combines “the best elements” from a wide variety of diverse sources, rather than following a single, rigid system.

    In addition the two different texts they (KJB & NIV based their texts, the most fundamental and radical difference between the two stems from the foundational beliefs of the  translating committees involved in the task. The NIV committee was made up of over 100 people with various biblical backgrounds and doctrinal beliefs. The sad part here was that, the liberals who did not believe that the Bible was the Word of God inspired and preserved to this day were let to control the translation process, which resulted in a doctrinally deficient and blurred version of the Bible.  This is clearly demonstrated by the influence of Dr.Virginia Ramey Mollenkott, in her treatment of homosexuality in th

                   The problem today is not understanding what the Bible says,

                                               but obeying what the Bible says!!
