AboutPastor Don Carpenter Expertise I believe that every word of the Bible is God-Breathed. This blessed book is the foundation of truth for faith and practice. If you ask this volunteer a question you will receive an answer from the Bible that is based upon a litteral, normal interpretation, taking into account the grammar and culture of the time. If you are interested in a Biblical understanding of SDA theology, I believe that I can help you.
Experience I have been in the ministry 20+ years. I am an avid student of the scriptures, and of theology. During the past 6 years I have spent much of my efforts studying SDA doctrines.
Question QUESTION: If man can only live by every word that proceeded from the mouth of God. Why did Rome take this testimony out of the bible?
Then saith Jesus unto them again, Peace be unto you, as Abba Amma hath sent me, even so send I you. And when he had said this he breathed on them and said unto them, Receive ye the Holy Ghost; preach the Gospel, and announce ye unto all nations; the resurrection of the Son of Man. 7. Teach ye the holy law of love which I have delivered unto you. And whosoever forsake their sins, they are remitted unto them, and whosoever continue in their sins they are retained unto them. 8. Baptize them who believe and repent, bless and anoint them, and offer ye the pure Oblation of the fruits of the earth, which I have appointed unto you for a Memorial of me.
Here is the bible equivalent text according to the Roman bible gospel cannons.
John 20:21-23 21 So Jesus said to them again, “Peace to you! As the Father has sent Me, I also send you.” 22 And when He had said this, He breathed on them, and said to them, “Receive the Holy Spirit. 23 If you forgive the sins of any, they are forgiven them; if you retain the sins of any, they are retained.”
ANSWER: Thank you for this interesting question. I am not sure what in the world you were quoting, but the King James Bible, which comes from the Textus Receptus Greek manuscripts and not a Roman Catholic translation says this:
John 20:21-23
21 Then said Jesus to them again, Peace be unto you: as my Father hath sent me, even so send I you. 22 And when he had said this, he breathed on them, and saith unto them, Receive ye the Holy Ghost: 23 Whose soever sins ye remit, they are remitted unto them; and whose soever sins ye retain, they are retained.
The King James Version, (Cambridge: Cambridge) 1769.
God has promised to preserve every word. THis did not come through the fragmented Greek and Hebrew from which the Roman Catholic versions, and all the other modern english translations come. God's perfectly preserved word was translated from the Textus Receptus and is found in the King James Bible.
Psalm 12:6-7
6 The words of the LORD are pure words: as silver tried in a furnace of earth, purified seven times. 7 Thou shalt keep them, O LORD, thou shalt preserve them from this generation for ever.
The King James Version, (Cambridge: Cambridge) 1769.
I hope that this helps you.

QUESTION: I was Quoting from a gospel that is verifyably more complete and ancient than the 4 Roman gospels we have in the Catholic NT today, Does not matter which version.
At this link I was able to provide Very solid evidence that the 4 bible gospels we have today came from a single written gospel source.
If the official traditional story regarding the 4 Roman gospels were true why am I able to display this information and make a claim that is true which defies and shakes the traditional foundations of Christianity?
God Bless
Answer Galatians 1:6-9
6 I marvel that ye are so soon removed from him that called you into the grace of Christ unto another gospel: 7 Which is not another; but there be some that trouble you, and would pervert the gospel of Christ. 8 But though we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel unto you than that which we have preached unto you, let him be accursed. 9 As we said before, so say I now again, If any man preach any other gospel unto you than that ye have received, let him be accursed.
The King James Version, (Cambridge: Cambridge) 1769.
Paul commanded us not to change the Gospel that we were given. Matthew Mark, Luke and John were not Roman gospels. Overwhelming evidence points to their acceptance in churches as early as 125 AD, 200 years before the Roman Catholic church ever came into existance.
