shall come in the last days scoffers, walking after their own lusts,
4And saying, Where is the promise of his coming? for since the fathers
fell asleep, all things continue as they were from the beginning of
the creation. 5For this they willingly are ignorant of, that by the
word of God the heavens were of old, and the earth standing out of the
water and in the water: 6Whereby the world that then was, being
overflowed with water, perished:”

opened up they believed but it was too late.

WE ONLY
TEACH AND PREACH FROM THE KING JAMES BIBLE
"For the word of God is quick,
and powerful, and sharper than any
twoedged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of
soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a
discerner
of the thoughts and intents of the heart." Hebrews 4:12
