Take notice of King James

Will the real King James please stand up? You have been left on the bench for far too long. Defend the faith as you once did. Join with your team mates Isaiah,Tyndale, Wycliffe, Nephi, Mormon and Moroni in declaring truth to the inhabitants of the earth. Show them the way to live, as did once long ago, the Savior, the King of Israel, the great Redeemer, even Jesus Christ overcame death and provided the way for immortality and eternal life for all mankind. When your eyes were opened, you employed many scholars to produce the King James authorized translation of the Bible in 1611, and your team mates provided the Book of Mormon.

These records contain the moral laws of how one should live. Today they provide the basis of many of the laws in free countries. As a general population we have flouted these laws because we think we know better than God.

Not all people willingly violate God’s laws, but we all fall short. I too once strayed. Now I do my best to be obedient and have found peace in Christ. You also may find this peace.

Below are the laws, along with some suggested violations on how we have drifted.

1. Thou shalt have no other God’s before me

• Have we put houses, lands, possessions, cars, boats, gold, money, stocks, and bonds before God?

2. No Graven Images

• Idol worship of pop stars and sportsmen. Halls of Fame. Oscars. Naming rights. Tattoos.

3. Do not take the name of God in vain

• Jesus Christ, or a derivative  thereof, is usually the most oft used swear word.

4. Keep the Sabbath Day Holy

• Hold sporting events on the Sabbath, open the shops, work, shop on the Sabbath Day.
• Anything but Worship God on His designated day of rest for all mankind.

5. Honour thy father & mother

• Put them in a nursing home, rather than take care of them in their old age.
• Never visit. Sell their house & take their money.

6. Thou shalt not kill

10.Thou shalt not covet

• Keeping up with the “Jones’s”

In the Book of Mormon – another testament of Jesus Christ King Benjamin taught “all that he requires of you is to keep his commandments; and he has promised you that if ye would keep his commandments ye should prosper in the land; and he never doth vary from that which he hath said“ Mosiah 2:22

Will you be prepared to “Just do it “? There will be a day of judgement for everyone. The choice is always yours – to follow or not to follow. It is never too late to keep His commandments.

As Dallin H Oaks taught “the final judgement is not just an evaluation of a sum total of good and evil acts – what we have done. It is an acknowledgement of the final effect of our acts and thoughts – what we have become.” – Dallin H Oaks – The challenge to become – General Conference – October 2000
