WHAT IS RIGHT??????

As I started to study this book, I found it filled with controversy. So I began checking some of it out. First, there is some controversy over who wrote 1John. Some scholars believe the same person wrote the Gospel of John as well as 1,2, and 3 John. While others believe the Gospel of John and 1 John was written by the same person but one or two other authors could have written 2 and 3 John. The argument for it being John the Apostle is:
1. Writer claims to be an eyewitness to Jesus.
2. He speaks with an air of authority.
3. The writings similarities seem to be the same.
Secondly, there is controversy over 1 John 5:7. There are those that believe that this verse was added to the KJV after it was written. The newer translations leave it out. The older versions, also, do not have it. Judge for yourself as I give you these three different versions.
NIV For there are three that testify;
RSV And the Spirit is the witness because the Spirit is the Truth.
KJV For there are three that bear record in heaven, the Father,
the Word, and the Holy Ghost; and these three are one.

Now. lets get down to the "meat" of the Chapter. John writes in 1 John 1:4 his reason for writing, "and these things write we unto you, that your joy may be full." In several verses he calls them, "My little children" which would indicate that they are new Christians. He gives them some basic instructions for being a Christian.
1. God is light.
2. We walk in the light.
3. The blood of Jesus Christ cleanses us from all sin.
4. We all are sinners.
5. If we confess our sins, we will be forgiven.
6. Love not the world or the things therein.
He also warns them of antichrist which is whomever does not teach of Jesus. There are preachers out there now who do not preach the gospel. DO NOT let them deceive you. We must guard against false teachers. Today, more than ever we need to watch because they are out there trying to lead you away from God. That is why we need to be grounded in the Word.We must guard against Bibles who change words and change meanings Revelation 22:29 clearly states what will happen to those who do.
"And if any man shall take away from the words of the Book
of this prophesy, God shall take away his part out of the
book of life, and out of the holy city, and from the things
which are written in this book."

We are nearing to a close of our blog. I hope seven new people will take this on and that we all will continue to study the Word. Which Bible is the best? That you will need to decide for yourself. Pray that God will give you the answer and will guide you in your studies.

I feel the need to add to this. There are many different kinds of Bibles out there and not all of them are the same. Some are very wrong in that they leave out very important parts. For instance, one Bible leaves out the blood. We know that without the shedding of blood there is no forgiveness and our faith is in vain. I was told that the NIV leaves out 64,000 words. My personal preference is the King James Version. I have heard people say that they choose another Bible over the KJV because it is hard to read. May I suggest that in reading the Bible. you pray for God to guide you and give you understanding of His Word.
