It's All in the Transliteration

"It's All in the Transliteration."

When the Scriptures were transliterated from
Hebrew to English they lost their meaning along the way.
Now when you add in the King James version, it's a
real mess of transliteration many are being misled everyday.
First of all Hebrew scholars weren't used to accurately
transliterate what was written in Scripture so long ago.
In fact there are those who put their spin and twist on
things as the difference in the Scriptures and KJV will show.
There's a Scripture that many in the church use out of
Romans the 11th chapter and the 29th verse.
But I will read the one that is found in the KJV with
a total difference in meaning first.
For the gifts and calling of God are without repentance
repentance, to feel remorse, contrition and self reproach too.
To feel such regret for previous behavior as to change one's
mind contrition for one's sins, is what you will do.
Now the Scriptures are supposed to be the closest thing to
the original Hebrew so I'll read what it says also.
You'll see there is a big difference in the wording
and the meaning is more clearer as I now know.
For the gifts and calling of Elohim are not to be
repented of, now this makes sense to me.
Yah's gifts and His calling should not make you feel
regret, or remorse but yet in the next Scripture you'll see.
Qoheleth (Ecclesiastes) 1:18 For in much wisdom is much
grief, and he who increases knowledge increases suffering.
If you could ask Job or Jonah they will tell you that
about the grief that the knowledge of Yah can bring.
If you're living a happy go lucky life like those you
see in the churches on the television set.
They are the ones who are not living the life or
either the dark one has not attacked them yet.
In this life you will have spiritual warfare and
satan will pull out all the stops to make you doubt.
Even though Yah has given you everything you
need, there's nothing you were created without.
For the gifts and calling of Elohim are not to be
repented of, but in the flesh many will regret.
If wisdom brings much grief and knowledge
suffering this walk while overcoming the flesh
many want to just simply forget.
