- Affected Teaching
- Out of the entire list of sins, the one which is omitted in the modern
versions is the sin of fornication. There are two types of fornication:
First, there is spiritual fornication, where a true believer may go after a
strange doctrine or partake in a false gospel. A good example is that Harold
Camping of Family Radio taught that the Lord would return on May 21, 2011.
Along with his date setting were many false teachings which have been
adopted by many who are true Christians whom I personally know. One of the
most blatant and accepted forms of spiritual fornication is the modern
versions with their attacks on the Lord Jesus Christ and the cardinal
doctrines of the faith. Christians who accept anything but a pure Bible are
committing spiritual fornication because they are not getting the whole
truth. The second type of fornication is physical fornication. It is having
sex outside of marriage. Obviously the original Bible corrupters had no
problem with this and the modern translators and publishers have no problem
with it either, since they allowed the omission to stand.
(Jude
1:7 KJV) Even as Sodom and Gomorrha, and the cities about them in like
manner, giving themselves over to fornication, and going after strange
flesh, are set forth for an example, suffering the vengeance of eternal
fire. God had something to say about it when He
destroyed Sodom and Gomorrha. He will have something to say about it on the
last day. Once again the modern versions omit a very important warning.

- Now let me get in trouble here. Enter October 31 and to the world it
is Halloween. To the Christian it is Reformation Day. It is a shame that
many Christian parents dress their children up in costumes and take them or
let them go trick or treating. Halloween for a Christian is spiritual
fornication because it is emulating Satan and his fallen devils. Costumes
are representing the demons as they come in deception to deceive people.
Dressing up like ghouls, witches, vampires, etc. are all satanic and
Christians should have nothing to do with the occult. Let me be blunt, your
children are not cute because God does not want His children playing with
the occult.
- Let me share a personal testimony that happened to me just prior to
becoming saved. I had many books on the occult in my library and one night
while I was sleeping, I felt I was being compressed from my shoulders. It
was like my shoulders were being squeezed inward from the outside. It was a
wake up call. When I became saved shortly thereafter, I got rid of all the
occult materials. The occult books were the highway that the devils used to
come into my home. The occult is real and there are real evil spirits who
wish to deceive and destroy.
- One more testimony about this stuff. This comes from Harold Camping when
he was much younger when he was doing research on Satan and the occult. He
had purchased books and materials including a OUIJA Board. He had six
children. He and his wife Shirley had gone out one evening and came home a
little late to find all the lights in the house on. He had wondered what
happened so he asked his children. While he was out, the children told him
that doors and windows were opening and closing and no one was there. So the
children became extremely frightened and put all the lights on. It was then
that he got rid of all occult materials in the house and that never happened
again.
-
- Everything we need to know about the occult and Satan and his kingdom we
have in the Bible which is protected by God for us. Once we go outside the
Bible and start looking for these things on our own, we will get into
serious trouble. Keep yourselves away from all occultic things. Don’t even
fool with them. TV Shows like Ghost Hunters do not realize they are really
being tricked by Satan’s demons as they pretend to be the dead people the
hunters are seeking. Keep in mind that it is from Satan’s kingdom that we
have been delivered and we have no business going back.
