'Translating the Bible from the Hebrew and Greek causes meanings to be lost' is just an excuse to omit those scriptures that convict one of their sin.  When we take the title of 'Christian' we cannot pick and choose what scripture we will believe or not believe.  We cannot conform scripture to suit us.  We must conform to scripture. 

Those that call themselves Christians, and try to conform scripture to suit their carnality have been blinded by the enemy.  II Corinthians 4:4 Amplified says:  For the god of this world has blinded the unbelievers' minds (that they should not discern the truth), preventing them from seeing the illuminating light of the Gospel of the glory of Christ (the Messiah), Who is the Image and Likeness of God. 

1 Corinthians 2:14 NIV also applies.  The man without the Spirit does not accept the things that come from the Spirit of God, for they are foolishness to him, and he cannot understand them, because they are spiritually discerned.

If one has received Jesus as their Lord and Savior, but continues to sin, or turns a blind eye to, or condones the sin of others, and refuses to acknowledge ALL of scripture is valid and is Truth, then what does this mean for them?  Are they truly saved?  How can one be truly born again, and continue to disregard the Word of God, and live a life of disobedience?  I don't think it's possible.  I believe that when one sincerely gives their life to Christ, that it is impossible to continue living a habitually sinful life.  That's not to say that one will never be tempted to sin or fail from time to time.  So when we fail we come to the throne to confess our sin, then we will be forgiven.  The Holy Spirit puts in us a desire to be right with God.  We no longer have the desire to sin.  We desire to be Holy.

Every kingdom split up agaist itself is doomed and brougtht to desolation, and so house falls upon house.  Luke 11:17 (AMP)

This nation has never been more divided.  I have never seen more hatred and intolerance for Christians.

The results of this election has set the wheels in motion.  There will be a honeymoon period, then all hell will break loose. I pray God gives us the strength to endure.  

The people of this nation have prostituted themselves to greed and self gratification far too long, and God has just handed them exactly what they've been crying for.  A "savior".  Except this "savior" will only devour.

I thank God that the vale has been removed from my eyes so that I can see Truth. I have placed my eyes on the One and Only Savior, Jesus Messiah.  We must pray without ceasing that not one of God's sheep will be lost!
