James 5:14-16 , Confess Your Faults One To Another

James 5:14-16, “Is any sick among you? let him call for the elders of the church; and let them pray over him, anointing him with oil in the name of the Lord: And the prayer of faith shall save the sick, and the Lord shall raise him up; and if he have committed sins, they shall be forgiven him. Confess your faults one to another, and pray one for another, that ye may be healed. The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much.”

This passage of Scripture exhorts a believer who is physically sick to call for the elders of the church. Why the elders? Who is more likely to have faith? Albeit, the Bible teaches that the PRAYER OF FAITH heals the sick, and not the elders. God would just as quickly honor the prayer of a small child who prays in faith for someone who is sick. Again, it is the prayer of faith that brings healing, not Benny Hinn's fraudulent healing crusades.

I attended the Harvest Baptist Church of Guam for a year in 2013-2014. I used to listen to their KHMG 88.1 FM radio station all the time, until they kicked me out of church in late 2014 for befriending them with THE TRUTH. I was such a good sport, and full of forgiveness, that I pleaded three times with Harvest's pastors in 2017 to please let me come back to church. I apologized for any grief I caused and promised not to cause any trouble. They refused and cold-heartedly told me to verbatim, “God elsewhere.” My blood is on Harvest's hands, since I haven't had a church to attend since 2014 on Guam. Shame on them all!

Anyway, I was driving down the street one day and heard one of Harvest's associate pastors quote James 5:16, teaching listeners to “confess your sins to one another.” The associate pastor at the Harvest Baptist Church of Guam is 100% wrong. Where did he get that awful unbiblical idea that we should confess our sins to one another? Look no further than the Devil's modern Bible perversions...

KING JAMES BIBLE (KJB) - “Confess your faults one to another, and pray one for another, that ye may be healed. The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much.”

NEW INTERNATIONAL VERSION (NIV) - “Therefore confess your sins to each other and pray for each other so that you may be healed. The prayer of a righteous person is powerful and effective”

ENGLISH STANDARD VERSION (ESV) - “Therefore, confess your sins to one another and pray for one another, that you may be healed. The prayer of a righteous person has great power as it is working.”

Oh my! Do you see how corrupt and bad the Devil's Bibles are? Dear reader, the accurate King James Bible instructs believers to confess our “FAULTS,” not sins, to each other. Pastor Jack Hyles (1926-2001) used to wisely say, “Don't be reluctant to admit to others that you have feet of clay, but don't ever show them your feet.” Amen and amen! 

As we just read in the Devil's Bible revisions, ungodly translators have CHANGED the truth of God's Word into a lie. Romans 1:25, “Who changed the truth of God into a lie, and worshipped and served the creature more than the Creator, who is blessed for ever. Amen.” You ought NEVER confess your sins to anyone! Our text passage from James chapter 5 is teaching how to get our prayers answers, in this case if we are sick. The Bible teaches that we cannot be right with God and wrong with man. You cannot pretend like everything is okay between you and God, while your Christian brother or sister is cursing your name because you hurt, defrauded, betrayed, embarrassed or cheated them. 

Matthew 5:23-24, “Therefore if thou bring thy gift to the altar, and there rememberest that thy brother hath ought against thee; Leave there thy gift before the altar, and go thy way; first be reconciled to thy brother, and then come and offer thy gift.” This is what the Bible is referring to in James 5:14-16. If you are sick, make sure to right all your wrongs with others, confessing your faults against them, and then God will hear the prayer of faith. 

I have had Christian men confess their horrible sins to me, things I dare not even repeat they were so vile and disgusting. Some men confess their sins to me in emails when they write to my ministry. I had another weirdo confess his perverse sins to me on an airplane. I had never met the man before, and we hadn't talked about the Bible more than 15 minutes. Ladies and gentlemen, you ought protect your name (your testimony) and only confess you personal sins to God. 

Never let your left hand know what you right hand is doing! That is good advice, and biblical by the way. Matthew 6:3-4, “But when thou doest alms, let not thy left hand know what thy right hand doeth: That thine alms may be in secret: and thy Father which seeth in secret himself shall reward thee openly.” I believe this principle applies to life in general. Ecclesiastes 5:2, “Be not rash with thy mouth, and let not thine heart be hasty to utter any thing before God: for God is in heaven, and thou upon earth: therefore let thy words be few.” Ecclesiastes 10:14, “A fool also is full of words: a man cannot tell what shall be; and what shall be after him, who can tell him?” Lord help me to sin less, say less and sit less!

I have shown you just one example of how the modern Devil's Bibles corrupt theology. It matters which Bible version you choose to use! God only authored ONE BOOK! You don't have a right to choose which Bible fits you best. Here is a wicked article that I found titled: 'How To Pick Which Bible Is Best For You.' Friend, you DON'T get a choice! God's Word says what it says, in your face, whether you like it or not. God's inspired Pure Words (Psalm 12:6-7; 119:140) are NOT open to man's scrutiny, exploitation and ever-changing ungodly political agendas. God rejects feminism! God rejects LGBTQ rights! God rejects pro-choice abortion rights! God rejects gender inclusivity! God rejects Roman Catholicism! These are the influences that are causing publishers to corrupt the Word of God.

Beware of the Devil's Bibles! Please use only the tried, tested and true King James Bible.
