The phrase "full armor of God" comes from Ephesians 6:13-17: "Therefore put on the full armor of God, so that when the day of evil comes, you may be able to stand your ground, and after you have done everything, to stand.

Stand firm then, with the belt of truth buckled around your waist, with the breastplate of righteousness (the righteousness of Jesus Christ) in place,

and with your feet fitted with the readiness that comes from the gospel of peace. In addition to all this, take up the shield of faith, with which you can extinguish all the flaming arrows of the evil one. Take the helmet of salvation and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God."

The sword of the Spirit is all of the scriptures you have committed to memory.

How can we mix Holy with Profane?

If it's not cloudy where you live, you can go outside and see Saturn with the naked eye.

It's the red looking star.

If I find an error, I will contact; however that had nothing to do with my comment at all. The King James Bible is totally accurate. The singular and plural (such as thee or you) is grammatically accurate unlike all contemporary versions. Also, the base texts of Hebrew and Greek are pure. If someone uses another version they are deceived, or willing ignorant. The history from William Tyndale and friends to the King James Bible is humbling. The history of the modern perversions is abominable. Comparing the gold of the KJB with the error riddled modern perversions, should lead one to accept the gold, and reject the error. The occultic Jesuits are having a pro-Lucifer hay-day; they are vicious wolves in sheep's clothing, and are behind much of the King James battle as well as battles against received text Bibles in other languages around the world.

Back on topic to Exodus 20, the modernist push to downplay the commandments of God is atrocious. 2 Timothy 3:16

I wrote a long article concerning this on my website, with many scripture references. I tried to link to it, but no links are allowed. I can not post it here, because the text is too long. If you type, "what saith the scripture these three are one" you will find my youtube channel, and an introduction screen-cast to my site. On the site I list copious verses in defense of the law of Moses. The link on the left of my site is titled, "law of Moses _ validity". Jah is most high.

Other Versions of the Bible by Mishael's comment on 2020-09-14 00:12:50:

If you find error, you can go to the Contact Us link and let them look at it.

Everybody in here may be using their own versions of the Bible. Such as NKJV, NIV, and others. You'll have to compare one to another. I've always used KJV because that is what I memorize.

Old Testament was originally written in Hebrew. New Testament in Greek or Aramaic. Be happy that at great persecution, King James of England got the Bible translated so that regular people like us could read it themselves. Which is why he did it.

The history before it was translated is very very humbling. People were tortured Or burned at stake for having pages of the Bible.

Mr's comment on 2020-09-13 12:20:57:

Why are there other versions/perversions on this King James Bible site? The King James Bible is the accurate translated word of God.

As far as the ten commandments, God is correct to have to standard of right and wrong which shows that all are lost and have the eternal wages of death in the lake of fire unless they receive the gospel which graciously shows that the son of God died in their place.

Using Church or Religion as a whip, to guilt an individual or group of individuals, to serve the speakers or a specific group's personal agenda, is, to me, a form of taking the Almighty's name in vain.

Carolynn's comment on 2015-01-10 06:51:50:

This reminds me of a scripture in the new testament that says ' 'God cannot be mocked ' '

this is amazing, that people maybe suffering just for this reason an not know it, I still want to learn more, cause I find it hard to believe that God would hold the ignorant so accountable, christians are so harsh, they are the worst to show mercy, so im going to take the stance of not guilty til not saved,so this is more for christians, an i'll keep praying for the unsaved an love them to the Lord. I want to add that its christians that have learned what real mercy is,sometimes this takes many years, an we never stop learning, ever
