Satan can mess you up with modern versions of the bible. He can also mess you up with the King James Bible. He can? You better believe me on that thought! He does
it with those who are in religion, tradition,  and major denominations who claim they are defenders of the old beloved King James Bible. Don't believe me? Go to a major
water dunker church that says to everyone that WE ARE KJV ONLY  and set and listen to the service and listen to what is said from the pulpit.  If you are not messed up,
then you should be able to see that they are all messed up. However, I am not knocking them. In their weakness of not right division, they are fully persuaded in their own
minds, so judge them not.  The same blood that bought  the forgiveness of all sins,  also paid for their sins.  They just do not understand it.  Maybe in time, before leaving
this world, one day, they will get it.  Until then,  for them of course, it is religious services, wrong division, and also they'll have  1 John 1:9 (MISS APPLIED OF COURSE).

How to wrongly divide

Wrongly Dividing the scriptures can include PICK & CHOSE, dividing the Bible in to OT & NT, saying GRACE is a COVENANT, claiming that all that are saved are the
REPLACEMENTS for ISRAEL,  or claim they are SPIRITUAL ISRAEL,  or claiming that Paul,  Peter,  James, and John all preached the same things to everyone of us.
And that is just for starters.  Loss of salvation,  once in grace, baptismal regeneration, confessions, preisthood of the saints, prosperity gospel, signs and wonders, etc.

Any time you try to apply  scripture to yourself,  or others around you which is not directly written to you,  that is misapplication of scripture,  and is not handling the Word
honestly.  The intentions and motivation may seem wright, but the result is not edifying of the Saints, and it is robbery.  If you are a minister and do not see the simplicity
that is in Christ by the preaching of Paul's Gospel, which sets people free, and does not place them under bondage to get their money, or set them in to a for of rules by
man, religion, traditions of men, and denominationalism,  then you need to STOP PREACHING. At least until God opens your eyes to the truth in His word(Romans thru
Philemon).

How to rightly divide

Like stated above, there are many who profess a lot of things, and one is that they all claim to Rightly Divide their Bibles. You can have the wrong bibles, and know how
to Rightly Divide,  and it will benefit you very little. You can have the right Bible, and not know how to Rightly Divide, and it too will benefit you very little. If you do not wish
to learn Right Division, do me a big favor,  just believe on the Lord Jesus and thou salt be saved. When He comes to catch away the Saints, well then..you'll know what I
am going on about now. Won;t help you then, but hey...at least you'll be in the presence of the Lord!

Right Division is to reckon which scriptures are written directly to you and for you. They after locating them, study them and saturate your mind and soul with the doctrine
that instilled in them which is in the Bible for your growth and learning.  Then, in time,  putting those verses into application in your daily life.  Where are those verses that
are for us here and now?  What?  Can't find them?  Sure you can. Got a King James Bible? If not, go get one. If so, great, then start looking through Romans through the
book of Philemon. Best thing to do is just read the book of Romans. Do not jump around and pick and choose in the Bible. Start with Romans 1:1 and read at least a
verse or two each day. Maybe 10 or 12. Ponder that day on what you read. Not 10 chapters per day. Think QUALITY not QUANITY. God is not in a hurry, so why should
we be in a hurry? That is man. That is religion. That is satan. God wants nurished, mature, full grown Saints. He has a lot of spiritual babes today! What are you?

The Bible is typically divided into two parts, Old Testament, and New Testament. There is a third part there, but not always noticed. Pauls writting in Romans through
Philemon is based on mainly information Paul recieved via the Revelation of the Mystery which was lept secret since the world began. This information was not in the
Prophecies in the ancient world. Nobody got that information. It was kept in the God head. God the Father, Jesus Christ, and the Holy Spirit knew all about it all the
time, but never revealed it till the appointed time. Totally caught satan and his followers by surprise.



Genesis - Acts  - TIME PAST - is for your learning, but not written to you!

Ephesians 2:2 "Wherein in time past ye walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air, the spirit that now worketh in the
children of disobedience:
Among whom also we all had our conversation in times past in the lusts of our flesh, fulfilling the desires of the flesh and of the mind; and were
by nature the children of wrath, even as others."

Ephesians 2:11-12 "Wherefore remember, that ye being in time past Gentiles in the flesh, who are called Uncircumcision by that which is called the Circumcision
in the flesh made by hands;
That at that time ye were without Christ, being aliens from the commonwealth of Israel, and strangers from the covenants of promise,
having no hope, and without God in the world:
"



Romans - BUT NOW - Philemon is for your learning, and is written directly to you!

Ephesians 2:13 "But now in Christ Jesus ye who sometimes were far off are made nigh by the blood of Christ."



Hebrews - AGES TO COME - Revelation is for your learning, but not written to you!

Ephesians 2:7 "That in the ages to come he might shew the exceeding riches of his grace in his kindness toward us through Christ Jesus."



"Time P ast"

Ephesians 2:2 in the Time Past division of the Bible shows how we as Gentiles stood in times past. Really nothing good at all could be said about the Gentiles.
Not one thing at all. Lusts of the flesh. Desires of the flesh and of the mind. Children of wrath (waiting for God's wrath). Nothing great or wonderful about our
past, as Gentiles.

Ephesians 2:2 "Wherein in time past ye walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air, the spirit that now worketh
in the children of disobedience:
Among whom also we all had our conversation in times past in the lusts of our flesh, fulfilling the desires of the flesh and of the
mind; and were by nature the children of wrath, even as others."


Ephesians 2:11-12 in the Time Past division of the Bible shows where we as Gentiles stood in times past. There again, nothing to boast about. Just a bunch a
hell bound sinners. None were bound towards the Heavens. All were going to Hell. Hell's borders was getting wider and wider. All were without Christ. All were
considered to be as aliens from the commonwealth of Israel. All were strangers from the covenants of promise. All had no hope. All were without God in the world.
It was a disaster then.

Ephesians 2:11-12 "Wherefore remember, that ye being in time past Gentiles in the flesh, who are called Uncircumcision by that which is called the Circumcision
in the flesh made by hands;
That at that time ye were without Christ, being aliens from the commonwealth of Israel, and strangers from the covenants of promise,
having no hope, and without God in the world:
" 



"But N ow"

Like I said, it was a disaster in Time Past. Not a very good heritage to claim for the Gentiles. Yet, God in His love and Mercy towards man had a plan that had
not been revealed to the sons of men, but was kept secret since the world began. Nobody in Time Past knew it. Not before the flood. Not after the flood. This is
where the story gets bet.

Ephesians 2:13 "But now in Christ Jesus ye who sometimes were far off are made nigh by the blood of Christ."

This verse is to those who are saved.  BUT NOW refers to right now!  Saved?  If so,  then you are in Christ, and you were where with no hope, in time past, as
a Gentile,  are brought near to the blessings in Christ and joint heirs with Christ,  which is far better than even what Israel was promised. If you are saved, then
you have the forgivness of sins,  having all your trespasses forgiven,  and all spiritual blessings in Heavenly Places.  You do not have to do anything to get this
except believe that the finished cross work,  the burial,  and the ressurection of Jesus Christ is all you need to get into Heaven.  That is how to be justified. You
may have heard, The Just shall live by Faith. This is the Faith of the Son of God, and your Faith in Christ's finished work for you to be saved. You are complete
in Christ.  This is not taught in religion.  The traditions of men don't teach it either.  Denominationalism? Sorry, try agin! You will only find this information that is
needed for you to know who and what you are, after being saved,   in Paul's writtings  to the Gentiles,   and to the TRUE CHURCH,  the Body of Christ. It is not
in a man made name.  It is not in anything man can  make or design.  It is not in religion. Denominations will not teach it.  It is only found in a King James Bible
that is Rightly Divided,  that points you to   the Risen Savior,  not a babe in a manger,  or the earthly ministry of Christ,  which was  in Time Past, which is when
He was sent but unto the lost sheep of the House of Israel, and not in the ways of the Gentiles.



"Ages to C ome"

Ephesians 2:7 "That in the ages to come he might shew the exceeding riches of his grace in his kindness toward us through Christ Jesus."

After the present dispensation is brought to a conclusion, there is still much that God has to accomplish. Since His prophetic program for tile nation Israel has
currently been interrupted in order to form the Body of Christ, the first order of business would logically be its completion.
Appropriately, the grouping of books
following the Pauline epistles is called the Hebrew Epistles. They, in fact, fit doctrinally into the Ages To Come.



Renew the mind daily

Romans 12:2 "And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God."


Rightly Divided KJV

2 Timothy 2:15 "Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth."
