Things New and Old

Ancient truths revealed in the Scriptures are often forgotten, disbelieved or distorted, and therefore lost in the passage of time. Such ancient truths when rediscovered and relearned are 'new' additions to the treasury of ancient truths.

Christ showed many new things to the disciples, things prophesied by the prophets of old but hijacked and perverted by the elders and their traditions, but which Christ reclaimed and returned to His people.

Many things taught by the Apostles of Christ have been perverted or substituted over the centuries. Such fundamental doctrines like salvation by grace and justification have been hijacked and perverted and repudiated by sincere Christians. These doctrines need to be reclaimed and restored to God's people.

There are things both new and old here. "Consider what I say; and the Lord give thee understanding in all things"
2Ti 2:7.

THE gospel versus one ANOTHER gospel
Do you see the DIFFERENCE? Very few do!
NKJ and KJ teach DIFFERENT gospels.
Do you know?

New King James reads thus
Gal 2:16 "knowing that a man is not justified by the works of the law but by faith in Jesus Christ, even we have believed in Christ Jesus, that we might be justified by faith in Christ and not by the works of the law; for by the works of the law no flesh shall be justified."

Rom 3:22 "even the righteousness of God, through faith in Jesus Christ, to all and on all[h] who believe. For there is no difference..."

King James read thus:
Gal 2:16 "Knowing that a man is not justified by the works of the law, but by the faith of Jesus Christ, even we have believed in Jesus Christ, that we might be justified by the faith of Christ, and not by the works of the law: for by the works of the law shall no flesh be justified.

Rom 3:22 "even the righteousness of God which is by faith of Jesus Christ unto all and upon all them that believe: for there is no difference:"

They are teaching VASTLY different things... in fact, different gospels!

And very many DON'T even have a clue why I say that!!

Do you have a clue? Then tell us!

(warning: comments must be directly related to the subject... otherwise they shall be deleted with no further waste of word or apology. And no KJ/nkj boxing here - we can do that in another place. Nurture the discipline of sticking to the subject. So, put away your machine guns. Bring out your sniper gun. Thanks)

More of the same perversion, leading to a new gospel

Ga 2:20
I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself for me.

New gospel:
I have been crucified with Christ; it is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me; and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave Himself for me.

### I live by the faith of the Son of God vs. I live by faith in the Son of God!

Ga 3:22
But the scripture hath concluded all under sin, that the promise by faith of Jesus Christ might be given to them that believe.

New gospel
But the Scripture has confined all under sin, that the promise by faith in Jesus Christ might be given to those who believe.

### The promise by faith of Jesus Christ vs. that the promise by faith in Jesus Christ

Eph 3:12
In whom we have boldness and access with confidence by the faith of him [Christ].

New gospel
In whom we have boldness and access with confidence through faith in Him.

### with confidence by the faith of him [Christ] vs. with confidence through faith in Him.

Php 3:9
And be found in him, not having mine own righteousness, which is of the law, but that which is through the faith of Christ, the righteousness which is of God by faith.

New gospel
And be found in Him, not having my own righteousness, which is from the law, but that which is through faith in Christ, the righteousness which is from God by faith.

### that which is through the faith of Christ vs. that which is through faith in Christ!

SEE THE VAST DIFFERENCE YET?
So, what is the difference? Why make mountains out of little molehills of preposition?

The WHOLE FOUNDATION of the gospel is subtly perverted and twisted and transferred from the faith OF - OF - OF Christ tooooooooooooooooooooo the man's faith IN - IN - IN Christ!

They have turned the truth into a fable.

Apostle Paul did warn - Eph 4:14 "That we henceforth be no more children, tossed to and fro, and carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the sleight of men, and cunning craftiness, whereby they lie in wait to deceive."

By the sleight of men, and cunning craftiness, they have deceived so many of God's children.
