1201 | Do you own a TNIV BIBLE? | 3 John | justme | 68511 | ||
Joe(:-( Yes this is the thrir time I have asked this question. I continue to get answere that do not answer the question like you did. I love you like a brother, but my question does not get an answer. I wonder how much planer I could say only answer if you actuall have a TNIV. I think I will give up for a while. justme |

1202 | Do you own a TNIV? | 2 Sam 21:19 | justme | 68343 | ||
EdB(:-) Warm regards to you. In The October 7, 2002 issue of CHRISTIANITY TODAY in an article titled " The TNIV Debate" is worth reading. Vern S. Poythress professor of New Testament interpretation at Westminster Seminary, Philadelphia, and Mark Strauss Professor of New Testament at Bethel Seminary, San Diego, explain their views on "Is this new translation faithful in its translation of gender?" I have read the article at least three times, and other material as well. I personally have the ultimate respect and trust in the NIV. I have made many contacts in Zondervan, and do not share your understanding of Zondervan, but I respect you for your honest expression concerns for the intregrity of Zondervan. May I suggest that you call Zondervan at 800-727-1309 and speak to customer service and express your concerns. Ask to speak with someone in the translator teams. They will be more than willing to listen, and explain the why and wherefor's of anything you may question. I think you will hasve a change of heart after you have done this. I might also suggest that you get a copy of the CHRISYIANITY TODAY for October. I believe Zondervan is one of a few that still guarantees leather Bibles unconditionally against manufacturing defects for a Lifetime. I recently had a first copydition of the NIV Study Bible from 1983 that the leafs were spliting. They replaced it and told me to keep the old one. That is genuine great service. I doubt I will get the TNIV as I am used to using the NASB with the NIV, and old habits are hard to brake. Besides I am to involved with my notes to start all over again. justme |

Timothy Paul: Thank you for your response. I am a solid student on the NIV. I have consiereable more confidence in the NIV than the KJV. The KJV has many words which we no longer us or they now have different meanings. Then too, the KJV did not have use of older more reliable manuscripts. I personally consider the Updated NASB far above any translation that attempts as close to a word for word translation as possible; but we know that is not totally possible. However the NIV is equally as good in getting the thought accross. The KJV is at a 13th grade reading level, NASB I think is about 10th grade, and NIV is 8th grade reading level. Most people read at the 6th grade level so what do you think people get the most comprehension out of? The best Bible is the one you will read! justme |

1205 | Is anything in the bible proven untrue | Ps 119:160 | justme | 67549 | ||
ateo: I have read your notes and questions. You are very knowledgeable about the Bible. I am impressed,and puzzled too. I am reminded of the Ethiopian enuick in Acts 8:27 and verse 30. I am a simple thinker, and with all your knowledge, I wonder "Do you understand what you are reading?" For all the knowledge you have, and if you still can't believe Jesus Christ loves you. That He died for you, and rose, and is alive to save you from eternal death, is there anything, anyone on this Forum could say to you for you to change your mind? And old saying goes, "for those that will believe there is more than enough evidence to believe; for those who refuse to believe there will never be enough evidence for them to believe." I think the truth is in one or the other of these statements for you. I hope you will weigh carefully what if you are wrong? Should ever believer be wrong, we have lost nothing! Believing takes FAITH, you take the first step, and Christ will be there to show you the rest of the way. This is up to each person, and you must choose Christ or reject Him! The choice is for each and every person to make. I pray you will choose faith in Christ. justne |

1206 | What are the qualification for an elder | Titus 1:5 | justme | 67390 | ||
J. Deacon Theo and Brother Robert:-) Good thoughts they are too. To be an Overseer, Elder, Deacon or whatever we do we are to be called By the LORD through His Holy Spirit. "Many are called but few are choosen" is what the Bible says. So just being or feeling called is not enough. Preperation is always part of the call. Blessings! justme |

1208 | Curse/Divorce Question | Heb 13:4 | justme | 67386 | ||
simplyword: Welcome to the Forum! Please take some time and tell us something about yourself in the Update Users Info. This allows us to answer questions, and know something about yourself. Your answer with scripture is good. I wonder if you are aware that "putting away" is different from divorce? Putting away was sending a wife away with out a certificate of divorce. Anyone marring such a woman would be commiting adulery, as she was still another mans wife legally. The meant the old husband could come get her, and take her away at anytime. This is what happened and why Moses permitted divorce with a certificate freeing the woman. That is why in Malachi 2:16 "I hate putting away....." Some versons sending away or even divorce. In the Hebrew it refers clearly to sending away or putting away. There is a sharp clear difference from divorce, and putting or sending away without a certificate of divorce. All divorces begin with hardness of heart. Now that I think about it most sin starts with a hardness in our heart toward God. Many Christians have carried unbeliveable second class Christian status in the churches that do not seem to recognize the difference. Divorce is painful and carries with it enough guilt, grief and failure and shame, without us adding more wreight to those who carry this heavy burden as is. Who am I to judge someone elses past when my own had sin; or what need of Jesus would I have had? I once heard someone say "Christians are the ones who shoot their wounded" Oh may this never be said, I pray, out of my mouth, that I added more pain to a wounded Brother or Sister in Christ. However, I shamefully admit I am sure I have. justme |

1209 | Replies to a vulgar comment. | Eph 5:4 | justme | 67284 | ||
Tom: James 1:19 "This you know, my beloved brethern. But everyone must be quick to hear, slow to speak and slow to anger." James 1:21 "Therefore, putting aside all filthiness and all that remains of wickedness, in humility receive the word implanted, which is able to save your souls. Verse 26. If anyone thinks thinks himself to be religious, and yet does not bride his tongue but deceives his own heart, this man's religion is worthless." all verses are NASB updated. Tom, I don't care who first penned the vulgar insult about and to women. You seem to be able to communicate in English, much better than average person. I would think common respect for the ladies, we have in the forum, that you might have used other words to qet your question across, with the basic meaning. Surely you are not tring to plead ignorance? Repeating the vulgar statement on any forum would be improper for a Christian, is that not so? The revelance of my wife, daughter, and grand daughters, should be abundantly clear. I will however, for the sake that you truly don't know, explain it for you. My wife reads this every time I have been on the forum, and we discuss the notes, questions and the like. My 15 year old daughter also gets on and reads what has been asked and answered once in a while. Tom, would you realy want a young lady to read what you wrote? How about a 15 or 12 year old girl? Your question was inappropiate to pose on even an all male forun, (if there is such a thing) say nothing about a forum of mixed company! Being new, and posting an unacceptable vulgar offensively worded question sends up HUGE RED FLAGS! No one knows anything about you, as you did not put anything in the Update User Info. when you signed in. How are we to know if you are just tring to have some vulgar fun? There have been others that have come just to insult and be rude. How else can anyone assume anything about your walk, or even if you are a Christian? Your question as presented was in extremely poor, offensive taste. I am not a prude. In my 57 years on this earth, and having been in the U S Navy, as well as having been a sub-teacher, and Pastor, and I do live in the real world. I doubt there is not much I have not heard or been exposed to. I am keenly aware that abusive language is a common practice, even anong some Christians. That arguement does not hold water for me. My wife and I often change the TV channels. We have only an antena in the rural area, that gets 7 stations. We have spend more time on PPS or Christian radio or music, and reading now. Our Daughter is aware of the vulgarities at school, we are not ignorant people by any means. My wife and I both have two graduate seminary degrees. We have had ministries with the nastiest, foul mouth, hungry, homeless, people. All who needed Jesus. So I am perhaps more aware of what has been going on in the last 40 years than you. However, Scripture clearly says this is not my home, I am to be different. The Scripture I gave at first should make my point. I am known on this Forum, as almost always being kind and very gentle. I try to be respectfull, and show Christian love. My verse that I cling to is Galatians 5:6 "....The only thing that counts is faith expressing itself thriugh love." NIV. I accept your apology. Let's move on from here, and Welcome to the Forum. I hope you enjoy the forum. We have very special people here that do there very utmost to show love, that is more than a word, but it is action in written words and prayer. Peace and Blesings. justme |

1210 | Can we loose our salvation | Bible general Archive 1 | justme | 67203 | ||
Cyclist:-) Please let only the Lord be praised, for His working through the Holy Spirt which gives us the words to say in times of need. There is nothing in me that is excellent, except the Lord Jesus Christ to whom I am unworthy to take any praise that is His due. My knee is so well, the doctor dismissed me last Friday. I went to a special program three times a week and got those lazy nerves and mussels working again. This was a real blessing from the Lord. I am so thankful and blessed! Thank you for informing me about the removal. I found it to be in such extreme poor taste and judgement, I felt as it were an attack on being a follower of Christ. I have never responded in such a firm way, ever before. I felt so deeply about it, I had to make my distain very clear. So I thank you for your amen. May your day be blessed. justme |

New Creature: May I be perfectly honest with you? Lets not spin a thread a foot long on my computer screen, ok? I think we have opposing views on Eternal Security, which in reality makes no difference, as we both see the importance of following Christ and to our faith being kept strong, and our walk of faith being continual. The debate of "can we loose our salvation" reminds me of an Old Testament historic event. When the people were told to put the blood of teh Lamb on the door posts and mantels, and the Death Angel would pass by, and the first born would not die. I feel confident, because human nature is as it was then, and always will be. Some went to bed and slept with total peace knowing their trust in the Lord was enough, and there faith was strong. I am reasonabley sure that there were those who stayed up and prayed the whole night through, and equally felt there faith was strong, and felt praying for the Lords protection, was an act of faith. Neither of these reactions show any weakness in their faith in the Lords ability to save them. They aproched the situation by both puting the blood of the Lamb, on as they were told. Their response in waiting for the death angel to pass was quite different. I have the feeling I would have been cutting zees and slept like a log. Some might consider that lazy or weakness, I would say content, that the Lord would do as He said. I don't want to make this unsoveable debate, and go on and on, as in the past, several times on the Forum. For me there are bigger fish to fry in theology. I have studied this question from just about every way, my bias mind can. No one has been able to convience me you can loose your salvation once you are a genuine, born again Christian, at least in the last 50 years of Sunday School and personal Bible study and Bible College or Seminary. Faith that falters, had a flaw from the begining. That is what the story about the seeds is all about for me. I am not going to show anything but love and respect for those who so choose to believe other wise. One thing is for sure we will know when we see the LORD face to face. May I suggest a look at King David. Ih lied, lusted, took another mans wife while she was still married, concieved a baby with her, then had her husband killed. That is a very dasteradly bunch of evil deeds. David repents, says to God against you and you only Lord have I sinned! Well I am sure that God must change our temperments when we go to glory, or when David passed on Uriah would have had a little something waiting for David at his arrival. Then the Lord says David is a man after my own heart. Now if this does not show a very Merceifull, Gracefull, forgiving Lord, then I sure don't know what does! New Creature, we have different views, and there is nothing I can say, even from the Scripture that will change your understanding, and the same is true that I am just as firmly andsolidly planted, in my view as well. We have just saved us lots of notes, and a thread that thas repeated on this same topic at least three time this last year. I respect you, and pray the Lords blessings on you. justme |

1214 | Can we loose our salvation | Bible general Archive 1 | justme | 67035 | ||
New Creature: May I suggest that faith that falters had a flaw in it from the first. The verse in Hebrews is refering to Christians who have become so carnak that they can not repent. Then end results can be death, but not loss of salvation. How can the Holy Spirit let go of someone whom He is covering until the person reaches Jesus. The holy Spirit is our surity from the Father, assuring our eternal security. Think on this, I hope it makes things clearer justme |

1215 | Didn't God give man freedom of choice? | Romans | justme | 66981 | ||
Henri: Thanks for the profile, I enjoyed knowing reading about you. I know that what we think or believe is important to us. May I point out that what I think or believe is not a basis to form an opinion on what God's Word actually says. I want to give you the chance to grow spiritually, and seek out the verses that prove what you believe. We can then DIALOGUE, not argue, over what difference we may see. You are correct there has been a bunch of threads but they mostly get dead locked when respect, changes to dogma, and love changes to bitterness. I would be willing to exchange some food for thoughts on a respectfull kind dialogue. Of course that is if you so desire. Think it over. I am around about every day or so. Blessings. justme |

Henri: May I encourage you to take a minuet and put a little about yourself in the Update User Info. That way we can answer you with a little better idea of what might be of help. I agree we are "being saved" and we are not transformed until we passon. However, I do not share your view that we do not achive salvation until actually get to heaven. Could you give some Biblical support for your view? We have the Holy Spirit who is our assurance of salvation. Being carnel (baksliden in never mentioned in the New Testament) is still being saved by Grace is it not? justme |

Emmaus:-) I really appreciate you kind notes and the wisdom your in the forum. I gave a note on this to Barney myself, please read it. I honestly worked for JPL-NASA at Edwards AFB, Rocket test Center. This never happened! This is a false rumor. Any printed or electronic information stating NASA was able to calculate this lost day the sun stood still is pure hog wash. I know you are a trust worthy man with intregrity and would not want to help this lie to continue. My dad was in the space program at Edwards from 1954 to 1979 and I was able to be there for many interesting events. I was a rescueman for civil service at the time lifting body experments were done on the wing of a special B-52. This rumor has such a obvious flaw that it is funny. How could they go back and find a missing day with no references to go back to. The idea is like a black hole and even though they do exist, you can't get there from here. This rumor is almost as believable as Superman. Always ask for verifable references, and in this case they simply do not exist. I hope you have a good chuckel. justme |

srching: I am not impressed at all!I am glad you found some "meat". I feel like you are acting like a wolf in sheep's skin. If this was a made up situation I do not appreciate this at all.

1220 | Where do we go with burdens? | James 1:5 | justme | 66667 | ||
Hank: I personally have found that remembering Psalm 139:3 has been a verse that has brought me to prayer over burdens and all of lifes problems. Just Knowing the my Father KNOWS ME COMPLETLY! I have at times wondered if asking other Christians to pray for a need I am facing is really that important, if I ask to be in God's direct will. What more could I want. Does the prayers of many make God hear my request any more? If I am truely His Child is not my prayer enough? I say this with a serious question, as I have asked for prayer many times in my life, and it was comforting. But, was that not using my faith in God's ability to answer my prayer? I have pondered this for several years. I would respect and appreciate your opinion. justme |
