1 - KJB - Two Ways - David O'Steen

Streamed live on Apr 14, 2021 The King James Bible4/14/21 - David O’Steen - https://www.hopebiblechurchga.comThe pastor, David O’Steen of Hope Bible Church, delivers the first lesson in a series on the King James Bible (KJB), titled "Two Ways." He explains there are only two possible responses to God's word: belief or unbelief—no middle ground.He highlights the believing response using 1 Thessalonians 2:13, where the Thessalonians received Paul's message not as human words but as God's, allowing it to work powerfully in their lives (also referenced in 2 Thessalonians 3:1). This faith produces effective results.In contrast, unbelief—often prompted by Satan—leads to doubt, revision, corruption, or misuse of Scripture. He points to Genesis 3, where Satan questions ("Yea, hath God said?"), twists God's command, and lies to Eve, resulting in the fall. Similarly, in Luke 4's temptation of Jesus, Satan casts doubt ("If thou be the Son of God"), misquotes Psalm 91 by omitting and adding phrases, and takes verses out of context. Jesus counters each time with "It is written," quoting Scripture precisely (e.g., Deuteronomy 8:3, emphasizing "every word of God").The pastor contrasts Satan's deceptive handling (doubt, alteration, misapplication) with Christ's perfect obedience—believing, quoting exactly, and rightly dividing the word (2 Timothy 2:15). He notes modern Bible versions often omit phrases Jesus used (e.g., "every word of God" in Luke 4:4), following Satan's pattern.Ultimately, he urges believers to follow Christ's example: trust the preserved word (the KJB), obey it fully, and stand firm against attacks on inspiration, especially in the last days. The sermon builds confidence in Scripture's power and authority
