What have YOU JUDGED me to have broken??

Success through repentance and in the power of the Blood of Christ, through the work that He did for the Father. "WASHING THEIR ROBES" Success, made perfect, or washed clean or your sins forgiven you go and sin no more, "KEEP MY COMMANDMENTS" or how ever God gives it to you and TO whomsosever will.

I have acknowledged it is not, yet that is the way it is translated and is written in all our bibles. I am not going to give translation lessons with every post. I am not going to quit using it because I would no longer be able to use almost any of the KJV. That must be your calling, you feel so strong about it.

Deuteronomy 4:2
"You shall not add to the word which I am commanding you, nor take away from it, that you may keep the commandments of the LORD your God which I command you.

That is exactly what you are doing, and exactly what the King James bible translators did with this verse Revelation 22:14.
That IS NOT the way "it is translated and is written in all our bibles".

Revelation 22:18
For I testify to everyone who hears the words of the prophecy of this book: If anyone adds to these things, God will add to him the plagues that are written in this book;

Deuteronomy 12:32
Whatsoever thing I command you, observe to do it: you shall not add thereto, nor take away from it.

Leviticus 19:11
‘You shall not steal, nor deal falsely, nor lie to one another.

Romans 2:23
You who boast in Law, do you dishonor God through the transgression of the Law?

I often hear those who believe they will be saved based on the merits of obeying the 10 commandments (usually SDA's) quote Revelation 22:14 quite a bit. I noticed in Revelation 22:14 that certain translations say, "do his commandments," yet numerous other translations say, "wash their robes," which symbolizes those who have been forgiven of their sins through the blood of the Lamb (Romans 3:24-26). Also see Revelation 7:14. There will certainly be no boasting in law. (Romans 3:22-28) I do not set aside the grace of God; for if righteousness comes through the law, then Christ died in vain. (Galatians 2:21)

Very interesting indeed.

It seems the differences in the words in 22:14 depend on the texts used.
If I'm wrong correct me.

Revelation 22:14
14 Blessed are those who do His commandments, that they may have the right to the tree of life, and may enter through the gates into the city. (NKJV)

Revelation 22:14
14 Blessed are those who wash their robes, so that they may have the right to the tree of life and that they may enter the city by the gates. (ESV)

Revelation 22:14
14 “Blessed are those who wash their robes, so that they may have the right to the tree of life and may enter the city by the gates. (HSCB)

Darby translation below

Revelation 22:14
14 Blessed [are] they that wash their robes, that they may have right to the tree of life, and that they should go in by the gates into the city.


JFB commentary below

14. do his commandments--so B, Syriac, Coptic, and CYPRIAN. But A, Aleph, and Vulgate read, "(Blessed are they that) wash their robes," namely, in the blood of the Lamb (compare Re 7:14). This reading takes away the pretext for the notion of salvation by works. But even English Version reading is quite compatible with salvation by grace; for God's first and grand Gospel "commandment" is to believe on Jesus. Thus our "right" to (Greek, "privilege" or "lawful authority over") the tree of life is due not to our doings, but to what He has done for us. The right, or privilege, is founded, not on our merits, but on God's grace.

I have a suggestion for you, PLEASE put the VERSION behind the VERSE NUMBER like I DO, it prevents confusion.
Sorry for my mistakes again.[/QUOTE]

2 Corinthians 4:1-3
Therefore seeing we have this ministry, as we have received mercy, we faint not; 2But have renounced the hidden things of dishonesty, not walking in craftiness, nor handling the word of God deceitfully; but by manifestation of the truth commending ourselves to every man's conscience in the sight of God. 3But if our gospel be hid, it is hid to them that are lost:

Yes I agree totally with you.

Yet alas I try feed dogs and give pearls to pigs.

I noticed you rarely respond and only give likes to those you agree with.
Giving likes I understand but rarely responding????

My first and only response to you.

Is you a dog, pig or wolf in sheep's clothing?

Very shameful the way you do not respond in this thread and call people dogs and pigs and concentrate on the thread "Do we need to keep the law of Moses"

Jesus said to them, “If God were your Father, you would love me, for I came from God and now am here. I have not come on my own; but he sent me. Why is my language not clear to you? Because you are unable to hear what I say. You belong to your father, the devil, and you want to carry out your father’s desire. He was a murderer from the beginning, not holding to the truth, for there is no truth in him. When he lies, he speaks his native language, for he is a liar and the father of lies. Yet because I tell the truth, you do not believe me! Can any of you prove me guilty of sin? If I am telling the truth, why don’t you believe me? He who belongs to God hears what God says. The reason you do not hear is that you do not belong to God.” John 8:42-47

The man who says, “I know him,” but does not do what he commands is a liar, and the truth is not in him. 1 John 2:4

The man who thinks he knows something does not yet know as he ought to know. But the man who loves God is known by God.
1 Corinthians 8:2-3

For certain men whose condemnation was written about long ago have secretly slipped in among you. They are godless men, who change the grace of our God into a license for immorality and deny Jesus Christ our only Sovereign and Lord. Jude 1:4

And you will again see the distinction between the righteous and the wicked, between those who serve God and those who do not.

Then I will tell them plainly, ‘I never knew you. Away from me, you evildoers!’ Matthew 7:23

Calling people who love Jesus and want to be like Jesus pigs and dogs is shameful.
Calling people who love Jesus and want to be like him pigs and dogs yet not even engage is even more shameful.

whenever people post this verse like that, i think:

does this mean i should assume that whatever else they say, it sure won't be a pearl?

Thank you. I do not know if you know that the GREEK has SIX primary verb tenses, where as English has only THREE.

In the KJV the VERSE:

John 15:10 (KJV)
10 If ye keep my commandments, ye shall abide in my love; even as I have kept my Father's commandments, and abide in his love.


The ye keep does not imply Perfection, as it is in the Aorist Tense, a tense we do not have in English. It implied meaning "without boundaries". In other words, it means "If ye keep on keeping my commandments as a Lifestyle", NOT PERFECTLY KEEPING HIS COMMANDMENTS. It is a lifestyle change that comes with Born Again.
