For edification and in leading by the Holy Spirit, I would like to share with the body of Christ the reason why I use a King James Bible, as opposed to the newer modern versions. Please know, I myself was adamantly opposed to switching from an ESV for years, being actually..

 saved through an NIV bible. I believed the issue was a small one and that it did not matter. I am not here to convince anyone that the love of God in Christ unto salvation is only found in a certain bible, for we know that a man is justified by the grace of God through faith..
apart from any works. Yet, I am led to share some findings (which others already have shared). The newer bible versions have apparently corrupted the word of God, by eliminating words and whole verses. This appears to be the enemy's game plan since most people use the modern..
versions. I am going to list book, chapter, verse (if any one wants to compare the KJV to the modern versions) with a brief description of the differences. In many cases there are whole passages that have been eliminated from the modern versions. Some of you have already done....
their own work here, esp @SolaScriptura99 and also @JoshuaVats to whom I am thankful. They have more extensive findings than mine I am sure. What is evident, is there has been a purposeful hiding of important words/terms in these newer versions such as 'blood', 'heaven',...
'kingdom', 'hell' to name only a few. In no way is this list exhaustive.

Verses
1. 1 John 4:3- NLT/NIV/ESV/ NASB eliminates Jesus Christ has "come in the flesh"
2. Phil 2:6- modern versions destroy the meaning by contradicting Jesus and the Father being one; Jesus being God
3. Matt 9:13 - NIV/NLT/ESV/NASB eliminates "repentance"
4. John 6:47 - NIV/NLT/ESV/NASB eliminates "believe on me" (Jesus) to just "believes"
5. Rev 22:14 - NIV/NLT/ESV/NASB eliminates "do his commandments" entirely and replaces with "wash their robes"
6. Gal 5:12- NIV/NLT/ESV/NASB has Paul calling for emasculation/mutilation of enemies.
7. Mark 9:29 -NIV/NLT/ESV/NASB eliminates "fasting" to cast out a demon.
8. Matt 6:13- NIV/NLT/ESV/NASB eliminates kingdom, power, glory, eternity (forever) from Lord's prayer
9. Luke 11:2- NIV/NLT/ESV/NASB eliminates God's location in heaven in the Lord's prayer.
10. Heb 10:34-NIV/NLT/ESV/NASB eliminates the lasting possession is "in heaven".
11. Rev 16:17-NIV/NLT/ESV/NASB eliminates the Throne of God's location, "in heaven"
12. 1 John 5:7-8-NIV/NLT/ESV/NASB completely removes the Trinity, Father, Son, and Holy Ghost.
13. Mark 10:24-NIV/NLT/ESV/NASB changes the meaning of the verse by eliminating "for them who trust in riches"
14. Luke 4:4-NIV/NLT/ESV/NASB eliminates that man should live by..
"every word of God."
15. Dan 3:25-NIV/NLT/ESV/NASB eliminates "the Son of God" and uses either "son of the gods" or "god".
16. Rev 2:15-NIV/NLT/ESV/NASB removes the fact that Jesus hates the Nicolaitans' teaching.
17. Rom 8:1- NIV/NLT/ESV/NASB eliminates "who walk not after...
the flesh, but after the Spirit".
18. Matt 19:17-NIV/NLT/ESV/NASB really twists the fact that God is the one who is good.
19. Matt 25:13- NIV/ESV/NASB eliminates it is the Son of man coming.
20. John 8:9-NIV/NLT/ESV/NASB removes "convicted by their own conscience".
21. Col 1:14-NIV/NLT/ESV/NASB removes the fact that redemption is "through his blood".
22. 1 Peter 1:22-NIV/NLT/ESV/NASB removes the fact obedience comes through the Spirit.
23. Rev 21:24-NIV/NLT/ESV/NASB eliminates "which are saved"
24. Matt 27:48-NIV/NLT/ESV/NASB makes..
Jesus a liar by inserting "wine' into verse, contradicting his own word in Matt 26:29

PASSAGES REMOVED (subject): Acts 8:37 (Jesus, Son of God); 1 John 5:13 (believing on the name of the Son of God); Mark 11:26 (forgiveness); Matt 18:11 (Son of man saving lost); Mark 15:28...
(on cross); Acts 23:9 ("fight against God"); Luke 17:36 (removal of the wicked); Luke 4:8 ("Get behind me Satan"); 1Tim 6:5 (withdrawing from covetous men); Matt 17:21 (prayer and fasting); Matt 23:14 (damnation); Mark 7:16 (call to hear God's word); Mark 9:44 (hell);...
Mark 9:46 (hell); Luke 23:17 (releasing Barabbas); John 5:4 (healing of paralyzed man); Acts 15:34 (location of Silas); Acts 24:7 (removal of Paul); Acts 28:29 (Jews reasoning over Paul's words); Rom 16:24 (grace of the Lord Jesus Christ); Matt 12:47 (ESV removes only);...
Mark 16:9-20, Luke 22:43-44, John 7:53-8:11, Isa 14:12 (Lucifer; replaced with morning star/day star which refers to Jesus Christ, 2 Pt 1:19; Rev 22:16).

There are much more than what I have listed. I pray that whoever read this tweet, will not just dismiss outright but rather
look into these things for himself/herself. We are one body and one in Christ, who is the Word of God, and we are aware that there is an enemy who always seeks to twist the word, causing doubt as to what God has said and what he did not say...
[Gen 3:1 KJV] 1 Now the serpent was more subtil than any beast of the field which the LORD God had made. And he said unto the woman, Yea, hath God said, Ye shall not eat of every tree of the garden?

Grace and peace in Christ.

I’m contemplating leaving @twitter. The platform has proven to be instrumental in harming people with marginalized identities, which normally I wouldn’t blame a media platform for except that @jack has demonstrated negative interest in doing anything about it.

in the past when I’ve thought about this I’ve thought about it from the perspective of my own safety/comfort. And I’m good on that front; I can handle it. But now I’m thinking about it differently: thinking about the people who tell me they join or stay on twitter because of me.

Every time someone in the press refers to me as a “twitter celebrity” (actual phrase that I don’t fully understand or subscribe to but this is what people say) it means that my presence and voice are adding social cachet to a company that I find to be quite terrible.

People tell me that they learn a lot from what I have to say here, and sometimes that it’s their first or only exposure to certain ideas, histories, perspectives, etc. and I have to weigh that too. But I could post that stuff elsewhere.

We’ll see. I’m just thinking aloud for now but I’m watching closely to see what @twitter and @jack do in the coming days and how they respond to what we now know about Cesar Sayoc (beyond one really stupid tweet). Because we know it’s not just him. Big changes need to happen.

1/People I know on the Right tend to be obsessed with the idea of "crimethink", taboos, and the (supposedly) oppressive, omnipresent enforcement of liberal cultural norms.

Why?

My new theory: A lot of it is guilt.

2/It's true that in some circles - the media, universities, many big corporations - liberal norms *are* enforced to some degree, and the enforcement has probably gotten stronger in recent years.

But I don't think this explains all of the Right's obsession.

3/The stereotype is that people on the Right tend to be more threat-sensitive. That would help explain the perception that liberal norm-enforcers are lurking everywhere, ready to pounce and anathematize anyone who makes a misstep.

But I don't think that's all of it either.

4/And of course, it's always fun - whether you're on the Right or the Left, or playing a video game, or whatever - to style yourself as the brave iconoclastic rebel fighting against the oppressive forces of blah blah blah.

But I don't think this is all of it, either.

5/The reason I think it's more than these things is that even *in private*, people on the Right express their "crimethink" ideas very gingerly and hesitantly.

I get the sense that they're not just afraid of external censure, but have also internalized liberal norms.

Krugman is, of course, right about this. BUT, note that universities can do a lot to revitalize declining and rural regions.

"Main jab mar jaun to meri alag se pehchan likh dena,mere lahu se meri peshani pr Hindustan likh dena(After I die,write my identity differently,with blood,write India on my forehead)”- msg on wall in Brijpuri. It's faded.

A year on,we revisit where #DelhiRiots broke out.


Feb 2020 Vs Feb 2021
While the hustle and bustle of the area has returned in severely hit Shiv Vihar, some cracks in the walls, a black smoke patch on the door, a few burnt utensils and a pile of photographs remind the victims of the days and nights they lived in “terror”.


Khushnaz’s daughter Alfiza was six days old on February 25 when the riots broke out near her house. She recalled pressing her palm against the infant’s mouth to prevent her voice from being heard as she cried.


Shawra Begum’s single-storey residence near Medina Masjid has still not been repaired. Looking at the broken and burnt taps of her washroom, Shawra said, “That time reminds me of death.”


Sitting inside his house near Auliya Masjid, Nizamuddin had tears in his eyes thinking about the time. Over 5,000 men were walking and running amok on the streets destroying everything and everyone, he said.

I started pulling Biden’s EO’s this morning and I found something buried in the Keystone Pipeline EO..... way towards the end of the doc.

(3) It turns out that the same day Biden shut down the Keystone Pipeline, he also lifted the security on our power grid for 90 days (Trump’s EO the year prior secured our power grid by giving China no access.)

(4) Here below is the snippet buried in Biden’s Keystone pipeline EO.
“c) Executive Order 13920 of May 1, 2020 (Securing the United States Bulk-Power System), is hereby suspended for 90 days.

I might have a panic attack due to excitement!!

Read this thread to the end...I just had an epiphany and my mind is blown. Actually, more than blown. More like OBLITERATED! This is the thing! This is the thing that will blow the entire thing out of the water!


Has this man been concealing his true identity?

Is this man a supposed 'dead' Seal Team Six soldier?

Witness protection to be kept safe until the right moment when all will be revealed?!

Who ELSE is alive that may have faked their death/gone into witness protection?


Were "golden tickets" inside the envelopes??


Are these "golden tickets" going to lead to their ultimate undoing?

In 1937, a trucker got frustrated waiting for his cargo to be unloaded. He later sold his company for $1.1 billion.

Here’s the story of how Malcom McLean made a billion dollars and which startup could be following in his footsteps. (Inspired by our episode with @laurabehrenswu)


In the early 1950s, the shipping industry was a dying business.

New York’s docks were handling half as much domestic cargo in the early 1950s as they had been in the depressed 1930s.

In thirty years, no one had invested significant money in coastal shipping.

Why?

As McLean found out, loading ships was difficult and slow.

A truck or train would deliver items to the port. Each item was unloaded separately, recorded, and carried to storage.

When a ship was ready, each item was taken from storage, counted again, and hauled on-board.


The cost of this labor was significant. As one expert at the time explained:

“A four-thousand-mile voyage for a shipment might consume 50 percent of its costs in covering just the two ten-mile movements through two ports.”


Yet, despite the industry’s issues, it felt little pressure to change.

Foreigners were barred from operating domestically. Cartels ran international routes. And gov. subsidies eased the pain of labor costs.

Reshaping the industry needed an outsider.

Enter Malcolm McLean.

Sri Sanjeevi Rayar Temple located in Ayyangar Kulam,near Kanchipuram,TN

#Thread

Ancient but beautiful temple dedicated to Hanuman. This temple is a legendary one. According to the Sthala Puranam of Sanjeevi Rayar temple,it is associated with an episode from Ramayana.


Legend story -Hanuman was flying from Himalayas to Lanka bearing Sanjeevi hill to revive Lakshmana during battle between Rama& Ravana, a piece of the Sanjeevi Parvat fell at this place.Many believe this legendary story & even today that no one here dies of any kind of poisoning.

From historical background of the temple it is known that temple was originally built by a great scholar &administrator Kotikanyadanam Lakshmikumara Tatacharya. Temple itself&village were named following name of great scholar Tatacharya, who was then popularly known as Ayyangar.

He was the royal preceptor of Vijayanagara emperor Venkata Raya who had his capital at Chandragiri in AP.Upon returning from a pilgrimage,robbers tried to attack Tatacharya at this place. Being a great devotee of Hanuman,he instantly composed a poem in Sanskrit praising Hanuman.


The bandits immediately ran away &Tatacharya decided to build a temple dedicated to Anjaneya at that very place.This Sanskrit poem is called Hanumad Vimshati, has been inscribed in Grantha script inside this temple.The huge temple tank called Tatasamudram, in honor of Tatacharya.

'Treasure Gods' - Sangha Nidhi' and 'Padma Nidhi', Tirumala, Tirupati.

------------------------------------

These are the two guards guarding the Wealth and Treasure of Lord Sri Venkateswara.

They are representatives of two treasures of Kubera, the God of Wealth.


One guard who is holding shangam (conch) on both the hands is known as Shanka Nidhi ('nidhi' means wealth).

On the other side, the guard who is holding Lotus flowers on both the hands is known as Padma nidhi.

Shangu is from the ocean which includes all types of wealth like pearls and corals.

Why shagam in his hand? Because shangam only gives the sound of 'omkaram'.

'Padmam' is the symbol of water sources in land like river, lakes, tanks etc. which is very important for all living beings.

As per the tradition, these guards are installed at the third entrance of the temple.

One enters the holy shrine after saluting the first protection threshold - Sankha Nidhi and Padma Nidhi.

RANI NAIKI DEVI AND THE BATTLE OF KASAHRADA

Mohammad Ghori, the young Ghurid Prince conquered Ghaznavids in Afghanistan in the year 1173 CE. He conducted some successful raids into the Indian territory, which even Mahmud Ghazni & the Persians couldn't do.


First&foremost,Ghori invaded states of Multan &Uch in India.After this he turned to southern states of Gujarat &Rajputana.Everybody knows this about Ghori,but what most pple r unaware of is the defeat he suffered at hands of Chalukyan Queen Naiki Devi in 1178 Battle of Kasahrada.


When he marched southwards, his first target was the prosperous fortified town of Anhilwara Patan.
It was the capital of Chalukyas(also known as Solankis of Gujarat) which was established by Vanraj of Chapotkata Dynasty in 8th century.


American historian Tertius Chandler states that it was the 10th largest city in the world at that time. The history of Chalukyas has been written by many historians, but the valour of the Great Queen Naiki Devi remains unsung.


Born to the Kadamba King Paramardin of Goa,Naiki Devi was well trained in sword fighting, horse riding, strategy & every other subject of Statesmanship. She was married to King Ajaypala of Gujarat who sat on throne in 1171CE. Unfortunately,the King died within 4 yrs of his rule.
