The word ENGINEERED

What JESUS said:

John 8:44-45

King James Version

44 Ye are of your father the devil, 

and the lusts of your father ye will do. 

He was a murderer from the beginning,

 and abode not in the truth, 

because there is no truth in him. 

When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: 

for he is a liar, and the father of it.

45 And because I tell you the truth, 

ye believe me not.


Funny how words have changed.

How words are used, to suit the thinker's ideas.

Take the case of the adjective "engineered".

What did man really mean by it?

I look to its true meaning.

What was satisfactory was finding its synonyms.

We all get a better understanding that way.

Merriam-Webster supplies the synonyms:

adulterated

concocted

doctored

fabricated

juggled

manipulated

manufactured 


As with every false, fake, faux stuff, we look to man.

As man looks to his false gods.

A born again looks to his GOD.

Where do you belong?

and let us run with patience 

the race that is set before us,

2 Looking unto Jesus

3 But I fear, 

lest by any means, 

as the serpent beguiled Eve through his subtilty, 

so your minds should be corrupted 

from the simplicity that is in Christ.

4 For if he that cometh preacheth another Jesus, 

whom we have not preached, 

or if ye receive another spirit, 

which ye have not received, 

or another gospel, 

which ye have not accepted, 

ye might well bear with him.

and enlarge my coast, 

and that thine hand might be with me,

that it may not grieve me! 

And God granted him that which he requested.
