Commemorating Jesus Who was Condemned for Our Sins 4-18-25

Getting back to condemnation- who was condemned for us? Why are we commemorating the “Last Supper” the death burial and resurrection? Because Jesus, the Christ became guilty for us; He bore the shame, and the most horrifying and excruciating pain. We need constant reminders that we are not condemned especially when we have allowed the devil and ourselves to put us into condemnation.


The reason I am bringing this scripture up again is because of the way it was written-


There is therefore now no condemnation to those who are in Christ Jesus, who do not walk according to the flesh, but according to the Spirit (Romans 8:1). The second part of the verse is not correct; it should end with Christ Jesus, period..


I am not trying to change the Word of God; take away or add anything. This is something very crucial that the people of God should know. The original text was written in Aramaic, Hebrew, and Greek. A group of many scholars asked King James of England for permission to translate the Word into what was at that time the old English language. When the language was changed, some words were not correct.


I don’t believe it was purposely done, but that God allowed it to happened to show that humans make mistakes. As time progressed some translations corrected the errors. In the original King James version, the correction was put in the margin (middle of the page with lines on both sides).

Many Christians say Jesus died on a Friday and rose early Sunday morning. Brothers and sisters, please tell me how you can squeeze three days and three nights in those two days?

Learning what is correct is important to me. God gave us a brain and why is it that after all these years the church is celebrating Good Friday? I don’t know who came up with that and why so many people are following these errors.


Noble people search for truths and they don’t let things slide by or ignore them. Acts 17:11 describes the Bereans as "more noble-minded" (high in rank) than the Thessalonians because they eagerly received the message and examined the Scriptures daily. 


From Tabletalk Magazine -It doesn't mean that they were naive, willing to accept anything. But they were leaning in and expecting something great to come from God's Word.

Another major error to confirm that I am not tampering the Word of God is,  the Holy Spirit is written as IT – The Spirit itself bears witness with our spirit, that we are the children of God (Romans 8:16).

Back to me- Jesus called the Holy Spirit, He. And when he comes, he will reprove the world of sin, and of righteousness, and of judgment (John 16:8). But the Helper, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in My name, He will teach you all things and bring to your remembrance all things that I said to you (John 14:26). In some translations, the He (pronoun) is not capitalized.

But the Spirit itself makes intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered (Romans 8:26b). This verse has Himself in the margin of the King James version. In other words, this shows that they had been incorrect calling the Spirit of God who is third Person of the Godhead it! That is an insult, just as I feel it is a shame for people to say Jesus died on a Friday and  rose on Sunday.


It is not justifiable to say He rose and that is what counts. When He rose is important, that is why Jesus Himself stipulated this: For as Jonah was three days and three nights in the belly of the great fish, so will the Son of Man be three days and three nights in the heart of the earth (Matthew 12:40).


Why not use the wonderful brains that God gave you and search for yourselves?
