srchng: There is a lot of advice being tossed at you, and your last post was at 2:10am. Wow, and you started at 5:16pm, that's a lot of time invested seeking answers. Do you feel that your husband just might feel neglected when you are up at the computer at 2am? I am not saying the problems are because of you, but it is questionable as to what really is the problem. I know the Forum members who respomded to you, have tried to help. I mean no disrespect, but what if you had spent that same nine hours in prayer and sutdy of the Word in reguards to marriage? I think you might have a clearer direction, and a peace that God brings by seeking His will for you in His Word. May I suggest reading 1 Corinthians 7:1-11 for a short view od leaving your husband. For a more complete understanding read read all 16 chapters. Yes I am serious, it would take only a few hours at most. With reading the complete book you have nothing taken out of contex. This would give you the answers you seek, I am sure! The book of James the first chapter is very helpful. Especially verse 5. There it tells how to get wisdom, which it appears you are needing. By going to the source, the WORD of God you allow the Holy Spirit to lead and instruct you. No matter who give you advise there is one sure way to find real truth that heals, brings comfort and peace, with wisdom. Nine hours in prayer, and study in the Word can move a mountian! Nine hours on the computer is only getting spiritual opinions of humans who do not know you like the Lord does. Read Psalm 139 if that chapter does not convience you that God knows all your ways, and days, nothing ever will. Always go to the LORD first, as He is your Heavenly Father who loves you unconditionaly! I hope this changes your life. justme |

1222 | Homosexuality and Christianity? | Leviticus | justme | 66592 | ||
D.a.P: King James 1611 version says,"Leuiticus CHAP.XVII 22.Thou shalt not lie with man kinde, as with womankinde: it is abmination." The Hebrew says Leviticus 18:22 "And with a male, not you shall lie as one lies with a woman; detestable it is." Your understanding of Scripture is fatally flawed! Homosexuality is same sex, sexual relations. This verse leaves no exceptions. The word homosexuality was not used, the sexual act is described in detail! God did not create Adam and Steve! God created Adam and Eve, man and woman, God made them to be sexually expressive in their love for each other, and pleasure, and also reproduce. They sinned, and when sin entered the world everything became open for man to choose to do right or wrong. Where is the credible Medical and Scientific reference that homosexuality is genetic? There is no indisputable evidence for genetic homosexuality. You are incorrect about David and Jonathan 1Samuel 18:1 Jonathan loved David as himself. Their love was as brothers, the language in no way implies this was sexual love! Ruth was Naomi's daughter-in-law!. Jesus Christ did address sexual immorality. In Matthew 5:27-28 Jesus said impure thoughts start the sin. The Jewish law were to stone to death adulters. Homosexuals were regarded as worse! Jesus said to guard our hearts from sin. Jesus never mention sex with animals. Does that make beastuality make it acceptable? You said the Bible has many contradictions and there have been 27,000 editions of the Bible. Give me some proof! To rebut your misinformation, the older manuscripts prove exactly the very opposite! Older manuscripts proved as the scribes copied they were very accurate. In compairing the Dead Sea Scrolls of Isaiah for instance, there is insignificant differences that are even noticeable. The more manuscripts we find, the greater reliablity there is for the Scripture we have. When you say that "Hebrew and Greek can not fully be translated into todays English", are you an expert in either of these languages? The Lockman Foundation (who's forum this is) have many PHD's who specialize in Greek or Hebrew, have translated the NEW AMERICAN STANDARD BIBLE. This Bible is the most accurate word for word English translation today. The New International Version (translation)would be the most acurate in thought for thought. Your assumption that we have nothing very reliable is seriously flawed. The fact you use small j for Jesus and a g for God seems to be intentional, am I correct? With the many errors that you have stated in your note, I can fully understand why you might believe that same sex, sexual relations would be acceptable. Romans 1:25 states you "have exchanged the truth of God for a lie,". and verse 27 "And in the same way also the men abandoned the natural function of the woman and burned in their desire toward one another, men with men committing indecent acts and receiving in their own persons the penalty of their error." verse 32"and although they know the ordinance of God, that those who practice such things are worthy of death, they not only do the same, but also give hearty approval to those who practice them." Now that pretty well describes your note to the full extent I would say. You call yourself "Defender against Prejudice". I ask who are you defending? Against what person's prejudice? You need to change your name to "Defender for defiance against God" When you say God created us in His Image, you have the totally wrong meaning. For God is neither male or female. If you are suggesting that God approves of, or, that homosexuality in any way is in God's created Image, you are in total error! Please allow me to say that God does love you as a man. God calls disobedience, sin. Homosexuality is sin. God calls sinners to stop the lifestyle of sin, and repent. Jesus Christ desires to be your Lord, you can become a follower of Jesus. There are degrees of sin, but all sin is forgiven in the same way. Your support of homosexuality is in direct defiance, and goes against what is taught through out the entire Bible. Either God and the Word of God is right, and you are wrong, or the Bible is full of lies, and there is no God, and you are right. There is no inbetween. You deside for yourself. Is God prejudice against sin? Yes, God is prejudice against sin!Homosexuality is sin, and it is by your choice. Homosexality can be overcome. With God all things are possible! May this bring awareness that God loves you, and is there for you, and will accept all those who come and let the Holy Spirit change their life. This is my prayer for you. justme |

Gracefull: Yes the Holy Spirit si the only one who can change anyone. I agree that that would take a miracle for some. Yes this site is for seeking and sharing insight, as long as it is truth from the scripture. Your sight you reccomended is a WORD OF FAITH sight which is NOT truth! Are you asking me who needs to move on? What are you suggesting? I am not suggesting you leave the forum, I just wish you would be a little more in center of new subject matter that is not slanted to your WORD OF FAITH teachings, that for me is misleading, to get back into the same old stuff again! I am open with you I feel you are quite pushy in tring to lead conversations back to the same doctrine you so strongly believe, that is not name calling! I wish there were more like you who would stand up to you and disagree, but some don't ruffel feathers. I state the scriptual truth and you can reject it as you see fit. I offer respect to you but disagree with you. When you mislead someone and I read it I will give an opposing view so atleast they have both views and perhaps they will see the errors of your teaching. You are free to do the same as this is an open forum that respect is a requirement, and even though I strongly find the leaders of Word of Faithe movement false teachers and prophets, you may poste your notes, but expect rebuttal. Peace. justme |

Gracefull: I am I to undrstand you would stand by Benny Hinn, Kenneth Copland, Kenneth Haggen, and others I have mentioned in the past? You have presisted in this justification of the Word of Faith movement now for three weeks. What is you ultimate goal? There is no baby here and no bathwater, we are talking about false teachers and false prophets! If you so choose to believe the Word of Faith Movement, I doubt there is a single person on the forum that can change your mind. What is your reasoning? Are you thinking you will change ANYONE? Why not change the subject, and move on th something worth while like how much time is too much time for prayer? Or how about how much computer time is a waste of things that we could be doing for the Lord. In other words, talk is easy, but faith in action is seldome done whild repeating over and over the same old disagreeable stuff! Lets Roll! justme |

1226 | Did Jesus suffer in hell when he died? | Luke 23:46 | justme | 66542 | ||
Glen: The problem is we are talking about two Hank's. Hank on the forum is the Hank I refered to having elequent writing skills. I would call his command of the English language and it's composition in writen form the best I have ever seen. There are others on the forum that have such qualities as well like Emmaus, Reformerjoe, Makarios, and these are just a few. I some times feel like a first grader that is even behind a grade. So please excuse me, when I make mistakes as I am still tring, ok? As for your questioning about Mark 9:33-41. I am not aware if Hank Hanergraaff directly deals with that scripture in the book CHRISTIANITY IN CRISIS. However the book is mainly about the false theachers and their seriously errored doctrines, that have lead ignorant, and baby Christians away, and who some of these false teachers are. That is why I refered you to CRI directly, so they can give you factual information and send you printed material. I am sure CRI has addressed this at sometime. The person who was head of CRI before his death was Walter Martin. So CRI is impeckable as far as I have seen so far, and I have been using this resourse for about ten years now. The very least you can wind up is a different opinion of a subject you are studing on. I am not a follower of CRI, I have my own thought with scriptual back up, and if CRI ever did not follow that, than of course you know what I would choose. I have had one person e-mail me and say they had no idea how filled with serious errors the Word of Faith movement was untill they read , and confirmed the facts for them self, and thanked me for directing them to find out for them self. Now as for the Hank on the forum answering his own posts, that is up to him, and you need to direct your concerns anout that to him. I would think with all that this forum is and the number of posts, it would be a real challenge to keep up with it, even in a small way. Sometimes I send a note just to let Hank know I am praying for his health, or praise his wisdom. I think it is very important to encourage him and respect his position, as I call him a man of honor, or Elder in the Lord. Would you not agree? I have found that anything we put down for someone else to read, is subject to be understood by the mood of the person or emotional stress they maybe under, as they read a note. Sometimes this happens when we write as well. Our human natures are strange indeed and I am no exception. I hope this helps and you will find a good resourse for future times. Peace and Mercy justme |

Glenn: I respectfully disagree with you, the Bible should never be shoved at anyone! I find no scripture to support that. Glenn, I called you stoborn, because you are stuborn! I am quite certian that you didn't call CRI. Did you? Why? Perhaps you are to stuborn with pride. Becase you refuse to follow this up, you remain ignorant. Is what I am saying not the truth? Brother I care enough about you to spir you on to spiritual wisdom. Glenn I am not attempting to belittle you, and you seem to want to learn. If you want to learn then you will have to dig out or as scripture says flesh out, and be a student of the word so you can see a false teaching for your self. This takes lots of Bible study and word searching the scriptures. This may well be a challenge that the Lord has called you to face now. In less you are Word of Faith follower than be sure of what you agree on. What means one thing to you doctrinly can, and often does mean something else to these false teachers and followers who have because they have believed twisted scriptures fallowed these false teachers. I can not convience you, at this point I have given the Holy Spirit to open your spiritual eyes if you so choose. Have you read anything Hank has written, and others about this Word of Faith movement. Hank has a more elequent way of saying in one sentence what takes me a page to do. I have no bad feelings tward you at all, so please see that I care enough to confront and hopefully point you in the right direction, not because I am right, but because Word of Faith movement is a false non Biblical movement. Why else would I spend this much time dialoguing withyou if I did not feel you were worth the time I have invested in this note. My time is something I account not only to the Lord for but my wife and family. If I felt you were, or prove to be unteachable then that is a new game altogether. God's Peace and Mercy to you Glenn. justme |

Beensetfree: I am tring to get a thread to reach out to parents with prodigals. I suggested Ruth Ghrams book PRODIGALS. I feel there is agreat need to reach out to parents who are Christians that their children as adults have turned away from the Lord. Yes I have ace for the many I know who suffer needlessly when this is quite common in our Christian culture today. My wife and I are attempting to reach out to parents of prodigals. justme |

Glenn: May I suggest you invest some time that will pay great dividends in you future. Go to equip.org find the their 800 number and call and ask for the research department. If you want to help them use the reqular number. Ask then from what they derive their information. How many researchers tripel , and often more than that, before they make a statement. They would be glad th prove there trust worthiness. Perhaps being a pastor they might give you a bookand much materials! For me, at this point you are looking rather stuborn and ignorant. Two qualities that will retard your ministry and wind up limiting you on how to defend your faith against false teachers. You deceide for your self. I don't think I am making any headway with you on this. I would like you to see the truth crisp and clear. Perhaps you fail to see you have cloudy spiritual vision. I wont bother you to bring pearls up again. justme |

Gracefull: 2 Timothy 2:14, and 23. Go to equip.org. Call the free 800 nunber. Ask for the research department. They will answer all your questions! They will even send you printed proof. If they have lied then take then to task! However if they supply you with the proof, you will either ignore the truth or have to change. I would rather not dialogue with you, this leads only "to wrangle about words which is usless...". Peace. justme |

1234 | Did Jesus suffer in hell when he died? | Luke 23:46 | justme | 65283 | ||
Pastor Glenn: 2 Timothy 2:24-26 The Lord's bond-servant must not be quarrelsome, but be kind to all, able to teach, patient when wronged, with gentleness correcting those who are in opposition, if perhaps God may grant them repentance leading to the knowledge of the truth, and they may come to their senses and escape from the snare of the devil, having been held captive by him to do his will." NASB updated. I say that Hank Hanegraaff is a wise man who knows the scripture, and I not only respect his expertice, and the CRI staff of many researchers. CRI is tring to show that many who claim to have the truth are false teachers. The program that CRI has THE BIBLE ANSWER MAN has had many guests with Biblical views that expose us to a wide understanding, of understandable differing views. I have never heard him say anything that he could not back up with pure facts, or say he was unsure, including having some of the false teachers he so opposes. Benny Hinn has talked with Hank and confessed how wrong he was. But Benny Hinn went right back to being a false teacher. If some one is teaching the true Christ even with wrong motives, my understanding Jesus said leave then alone. However that is not the case of false Word of Faith teachers, just to name one group, as there are many others. I strongly suggest buy, borrow, or find the book CHRISTIANITY IN CRISIS, then after reading it, show me what is not accurate. If you can tell me one false statement I will NEVER mention Hanks name again on this forum. I give you my word! I would expect proof with what you confront me with. I have never agreed to this ever before, and I feel that positive about this ministry of CRI. justme |

Hank: Yor note is to the point, crisp and clear, yet you put your thoughts together with authority. That is a gift that a blessing, I wonder if you understand what a clear thought patter you are blessed with? You inspire me, to try more in responding in a clearer note. Thank you. justme |

1236 | Did Jesus suffer in hell when he died? | Luke 23:46 | justme | 65249 | ||
Pastor Glenn: Please do not even give the slightest creditability to tho Word of Faith movement. You are making a deadly mistake to make any supportive note unless you know upon where you speak. This will come up in your ministry. You need to have a clear idea of what the Word of Faith movement is and its history. I reccomend CHRISTIANITY IN CRSIS by Hank Hanegraaff. This book should be available in most Christian Bookstores. You can also go to equip.org and even call in and the have researchers that can help with FREE information. If you think this is not something to become wise about you will be hit with it sooner than you think. I say this to you as one who has seen several churches go through disaster because of uneducated pastors got in over their heads and it was almost too late. justme |

1237 | Who did Cain marry to have children? | Genesis | justme | 65246 | ||
FTimA: We do not have a complete record when other children were born to Adam and Eve, There was no adolense then and young marriage as perhaps 13 or so is well within the range of possibility. So it is a still open ended as to who Cain married. The earth was populated enough for him to find a wife that much we do know for sure. justme |

1238 | Am I understanding you so far? | John 3:16 | justme | 65116 | ||
Ava4: I just read your profile and I am deeply touched by your humility and willingness to be open about your leaving the church. Many of us have, but for me it was about three years. I felt so incomplete, and was wanting more from church than church could give. I wanted someone to show they genuinely cared for me and my family. I came to understand, that need is filled from the Lord. I usually start out by welcoming the person to the Forum when a person is new. But in your case I saved this for last. I am glad to have you with us. I hope you enjoy the forum, and share with us many notes and questions. justme |

1239 | You didn't "go on sinning"? | John 3:16 | justme | 65112 | ||
Welldigger: I am appauled, and your note to EdB took my breath away! I am stunned, and offended for EdB! 1 John 1:10 If we clain we have not sinned, we make Him out to be a liar and His word has no place in our lives." NIV. This is talking to Christians! I have yet to achieve sinless perfection, and haven't met anyone yet that has, while still in this sinfull natured body. Unless you have achived being totally Holy Spirit controled, then you are very unique. I think it shows wisdom not to use a persons name ie. EdB over and over in a note. The Forun attempts to give respect and kindness in dialogue form rather than such chastizement tone. I sincerely hope you hear the kindness, and willingness to be open and frank with you about my feelings, I speak for no one else. I think respect is a key, when someone says like Searcher56, suggests STOP you might heed his suggestion. God bless. justme |
