POST SCRIPT

an

EPILOGUE

I did not want to go into the "art" vs "are" comparison between the King James Bible and the Modern Bibles for fear of being too rigid and providing ammunition for the KJV scoffers. 

But after I finished the video, the Holy Ghost gave me the unction to go research ART as a verb in the Oxford English Dictionary.

Here is why the KING JAMES TRANSLATORS used "ART" and NOT "ARE" for the seemingly 3rd person - HE - but in personal one-on-one prayer is the 2nd Person - YOU - indicative of the present tense.


Page 117:  

3. Art (verb) used for the purpose of "TO PRESS or URGE" For the Purpose of "constraining (A person) to do something.

Constrain = (verb) 

to exert force, physical or moral upon (a person) in urging to action.

Matthew 11:12

And from the days of John the Baptist until now the kingdom of heaven suffereth violence, and the violent take it by force.

King James Version (KJV)


Prelude

Who are we praying to when we say the Lord's Prayer?


Jesus Christ and technically His Spirit



John 4:24

God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth.

King James Version (KJV)

 We offer the Lord's Prayer to our Heavenly Father who is Spirit knowing this is literally the Spirit within Jesus Christ Himself.

John 14:11

Believe me that I am in the Father, and the Father in me: or else believe me for the very works' sake.

King James Version (KJV)


Every time we

 see Jesus in the Gospels referring to His

 Father - who we know is

 Spirit, the Spirit within Him, we know Jesus

 Christ is referring to Himself Spiritually.

Colossians 1:15

“Who is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of every creature:”

King James Version (KJV)


2 Corinthians 5:16

“Wherefore henceforth know we no man after the flesh: yea, though we have known Christ after the flesh, yet now henceforth know we him no more.”

King James Version (KJV)



John 14:9


We

 know Jesus Christ

 Spiritually as well knowing him in PERSON 

as our

KINSMAN

 REDEEMER.

This is essential in understanding that we know Jesus both as the PERSON He is and Spiritually as The Father, Our Heavenly Father.

Jesus Christ  - The ONLY PERSON of the Godhead who created us in His Image (We have a body, hands, feet) and after his likeness - His essence of 3 parts spirit soul and body. 1 Thessalonians 5:23 KJB.

 We know Him

 as Jesus Christ who is our Kinsman

 Redeemer 

&

Our

 HEAVENLY FATHER

which is Spirit.


1 Corinthians 2:13

“Which things also we speak, not in the words which man's wisdom teacheth, but which the Holy Ghost teacheth; comparing spiritual things with spiritual.”

King James Version (KJV)

After this manner therefore pray ye: Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name.

King James Version (KJV)


NIV  Matthew 6:9


“‘Our Father in heaven,
hallowed be your name,


NASB

Our Father, who is in heaven,
[a]Hallowed be Your name.



 ESV


Our Father in heaven,
hallowed be your name.[a]



NKJV

 Our Father in heaven, Hallowed be Your name.

In the video above I had to make the following Correction: At Time Stamp 1:26:56 I erroneously state quoting Matthew 6:9 Our Father WHO art in Heaven. This should be WHICH art in Heaven. The King James uses WHICH instead of WHO. Why?


"Which" is used for things, neuter nouns, while "who" is reserved for people. So, you'd say "The book, which is on the table," but "The woman, who is reading the book."

Which:


In the phrase "which art in heaven," from the Lord's Prayer, the word "which" is used as a pronoun. It introduces a relative clause referring to "Our Father," clarifying and giving more information about the noun.


This is HUGE because the King James Bible recognizes that Jesus Christ our Father in Heaven is SPIRIT a spirit is neuter non gender. The modern day perverted translations use WHO or IN. This is a perfect example how I for so long have been brainwashed with WHO is in Heaven that I by rote memory, habit like a parrot repeated what I've heard thousands of times. Thank God for his WORD in the final authority of the King James Bible.


Note: I also corrected the BLOG from WHO to WHICH.  Let's also note many other major flaws of the Lord's prayer comparing the modern perverted bible translations with the King James Bible.  The only other major point is the preposition IN vs ON. 


Matthew 6:10

Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven.

King James Version (KJV)


The King James uses in earth but the other translations use on earth in Matthew 6:10. Let's see the difference in the prepositions "ON" vs "IN" in the context of the lord's prayer

"In earth" is FAR MORE encompassing and immersive preposition, suggesting God's will permeating every aspect of earthly existence.

"On earth" implies a more surface-level application, focusing on God's will being enacted upon the world
.

Matthew 6:9

After this manner therefore pray ye: Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name.

King James Version (KJV)


Matthew 6:10

Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven.

King James Version (KJV)
