Hi to you all!

My cousin has been reading the Old Testament and she kept on encountering the word “freewill offering” and she asked me that if don't have Freewill, then why is it in the Bible? Of course she’s using the NKJV. And so I looked at my NIV and they also render the same words “freewill offering”. I told her that it’s just a matter of translation and I will consult the CLV in my E-Sword and there it is:

(Lev 22:18)  voluntary offerings..
(Lev 22:21)  voluntary offerings..
(Lev 22:23)  voluntary offerings..
(Lev 23:38)   voluntary offerings..
(Num 15:3)  voluntary offerings..
(Num 29:39)   voluntary offerings..
(Deu 12:6)   voluntary offerings..
(Deu 12:17)   voluntary offerings..
(Deu 16:10)   voluntary offerings..
(Deu 23:23)   voluntary offerings..
(2Ch 31:14)   willing-offerings
(Ezr 1:4)   voluntary offerings..
(Ezr 3:5)   voluntary offerings..
(Ezr 7:13)   voluntary offerings..
(Ezr 7:16)  voluntary offerings..
(Ezr 8:28)   voluntary offerings..
(Psa 119:108)   voluntary offerings..

Only the word “willing” is used in 2 Chronicless and the word “free” is not even included.
Thanks be to God for using L.Ray to teach us the truth.

In God's love,

The translators were probably under a lot of pressure to get those words into the bible.

Yeah, I read that the translators of the KJV were made to work to certain criteria so the King could have have His heresy and force it down everyones throat too!

Can you imagine ,, that in the back of all the translator heads was a threathening voice screaming..." OFF WITH THIER HEADS !!!" 

They added alot of pudding and cream into those translations.......

Has anyone ever heard of the Geneva Bible. I read once some where that they had something against the Pope in that Bible and I belive when the King James was done they had to remove that. I think all this with the King James were done to control there country. I really do think Hell was taught to keep the populations in line. Any ideas on any of this.

In His Love,
