1421 | Avoiding paritality in soul care | James 2:1 | justme | 53248 | ||
May I say Hank so thoughtfully has given a great answer. I would like to add, I am a nam of no great substance, in looks, intellengence, or tallent. However I am friendly and I make it a point to say hello, and try to say something when I am on a plane, train, store, in other words, my daily traffic patter of life. No matter what a person looks like or seems to be, I try to open doors of being friendly. I have led janitors to Christ, a shepard boy in Bolivia, a very wealthy business man , and people from all walks of life. I don't keep count, Jesus does that. I can tell you I have felt try to be friendly, and let the Lord open the door, I will share Christ, and the results are in the persons hands as the Holy Spirit trys to open their heart. This has been my blessing to introduce several hundred people to Christ. Others planted the seed, someone elsed watered, still who knows who has prayed for these people. Many are waiting for us to just speak in love as a potential friend to them about Christ. The fields are white and ready. I do not care about a persons, color, clothes, wealth, or their illness, if I can be a part of spredding The seed or watering, or praying, I pray that somehow the Lord will direct me. I hope this encourages you. agape, justme |

Hank: Again I will express how I admire the honest direct way you respond to questions. I see in you such a fine love for language. Have you writen any books? I avoided answering your question about my health. Thank you for remembering. I am experiencing cognitive slippage. What that repsents I do not know. Today I turned 57, and I trust Christ as I started this new birth year, as I did last year. For me and my wife we ask the Lord for our daily spiritual bread, and my health. We are blessed. To add to your coment I told the person I liked Matthew 24:36. That explains how the father is the ONLY ONE TO KNOW WHEN. I honest think the only answer is that we are to be ready. That sums it up. I am ready. I will be ready. Blessings! agape, justme |

Radar:Welcome to the Forum! This is NOT Col. Potter. HA, HA get it? You know Mash's Radar? I hope you thought it was funny. Matthew Chapters 24 and 25 are my favorite on Christ Comming. For me Matt.24:36 is the Key verse.No one knows except the Father! These chapters say to be ready. Be ready for Birthpains. Some women suffer along time, especially back then sometimes for birth to come it took several days. Ask most women and anytime is too long. For me the only reason Christ has not come is the Father wants no one to perish. The Fathers mercy and Grace are all that prevents the end. I can see no reason Christ could not return before you get this message. Then again what's to stop Gods Mercy from extending 1000 years more. The point is we are to be READY no matter what/ Matt24:44 SO you must be ready..... I don't think Tim Lehey and all his books do much but add a lot to his wallet. I personally will Read the Word and BE READY! Are you Ready Radar? I pray you are. agape, justme |

1426 | What does water baptism do? | Matt 3:15 | justme | 52813 | ||
Grace and truth: Matthew 28:19 to 20. I was in church last night. Can you imagine we still have wed. night services? Well ,It cane to me in sorta a vision ,or drean, or I might have sliped asleep. At any rate, I was thinking, as much as we talk about baptism on our forum, and all about if your not baptised your not saved, and all the areas we have chased around. Do any of us see many being baptized? A whole lot of talking about baptism. I sure hope there just as many getting baptized as there are dialogues going on about it? Lets assume you are right, then lets get out and start baptizing and quit yacking about it! Then we all will be right! I am I right Grace and Truth? agape Justme |

1427 | Christian growth, and Faith is hard? | Bible general Archive 1 | justme | 52795 | ||
I will have statred my pilgramage 20 years ago next March. At times I am over whelmed with how unworthy I am. For own me I truely am. By Jesus's grace and mercy and love, as he stands before the Father in pure white garments, and nail perced hands and feet, If words could express How I feel I would say "gulty Father of crimes and sin against your Son. But standing before the Father as a blood washed child of Christ. My punishment has beeen paid. I have in truth been redeemed. My Jesus my Lord thank you. agape, justme |

EdB: John 3:16 The far greater event will to see Jesus. Why he loves my rotten soul, I would love to hear Him Say. Why He did and rescue me, for such a speck of dirt. Perhaps the secomd will be tha change in my disposition where my attitude will love rather thanhave pride or hurt some wounded brethern. Thery is so much To say I don't know how or why, but love will abide. agape, justme |

1430 | What does water baptism do? | Matt 3:15 | justme | 52749 | ||
Hank: I sincerely hope you wrote this and all your other notes and questions, with tears in your eyes. I believe that because "Jesus Wept" we are to weap also. In my theological thinking, if all believers saved their tears, in tear bottles, as they did in the old testamnet times, we could fill the baptistires. I believe I could make a strong biblical proof, for the fact the church of today should issue us tear bottles, and we should save our tears. To carry this a step further, if we are not babtized in tears are you truely saved? I am wondering is this a doctrine we have over looked? Please give it thought and let me know. agape, justme, uall |

EdB. Comming from my background where I was taught to sit or sing and be very controled, this is hard to imagine. I am sure by what you say it meets you need for worship. I am glad you are happy. Agape, justme |

1432 | Can a Christian dance? | Bible general Archive 1 | justme | 52698 | ||
Hank: I remember a teacher I had many years ago. If you asked Can I do this or that she would say yes you can. No, you may not. I see this wording quite simular, when eternal security is brought up. Often the implacation is how little "can" I do and still get to heaven. When I hear that I doubt the person has a saving faith. agape, justme |

1434 | Can a Christian dance? | Bible general Archive 1 | justme | 52556 | ||
When I was in fifth garde in in the early mid 50's I often heard from the Punpit warnings about Movie shows, dancing, smoking and drinking. Our pastor made a solid impression on me. The one area that few ever talked about was swiming and beach parties, or hay rides. I wondered at the time why dancing a polka or square dance with lots of clothes on was so bad. At the beach parties the girls sure showed a lot more to see than at a dance. The hayrides in highschool were really kissing and huggen times. I know compaired to now those were very tame things. I have lived a life that God has watched over me, and I have stayed pure. But today teens are dealing with a huge consuming fire of sexual lust and almost overwhelming temptation. I never thought I would ever see such blatent open sexual diversions come out in the open public, and be so generally accepted. Maybe we need a few old time outspoken modern preachers to remind us that there are some areas we do not belong seeing, doing, or goung to. There will always be the "can christians do" things as long as we have the ability to be tempted. agape, justme |

Edb: For anyone, me included, to blanketly say ALL members of this or that church or group believe totally in a certian way, is pure ignorance. Most likely not one other person believes exactllay as I do. In deed, I change my ideas as I have grown in Christ. So do movements, Churches, and theologins grow and change. Often changes nake no difference in doctrine or theology. I was a Southern Baptist for many years. I have many dear friends that are Southern Baptist. I attended a Souther Baptist University, and seminary for one year. In 1985 I could not cope, and was not willing to stand alone trying to change something that clearly whoud have caused a division. Now, some 17 years later things are much better. I felt alone, and without a church home even as I pastored three churches that we not SBC. When I was retired we spent three years looking for a church. We finally found Calvary Chapel. They are totally run different than any Baptist church. Yet ther beliefs are very simular. Is Calvary Chapel better than SBC or the other way around? I am pleased to say no. I can say I have come to the conclusion if you are unwilling to be responsible for your own personal spiritual growth then Calvary Chaple is not for a Christian to sit like a sponge. Do we have sponges? Yes we do. Do Southern Baptist have a very clear statement of Faith? Yes they do. And I agree with it. The Church Universal encompasses many believers from many churches, movements, and in places we could not imagine. We have some Assembly of God friends. Our daughter attends their youth night in our area as ther is no other Christian activity near us. We don't agree with some Assembly theology. But we talk to our daughter and it helps us explain why we believe and why, and we explain what they believe and why we do not. So narrow nindedness is something we try to avoid unless there is such a basic theology we just can not accept. I honestly have never thought Assembly of God Churches as Pentecostal. Charismatic yes, that's what I have always refered to them as. Thank you for sharing all this with me. agape, justme |

EdB: In no way did I feel attacked or insulted. It is a pleasure to interact with such a kind hearted believer. I have nothing to forgive you for. We need only beg God's Mercy and love be shown as this Forum interacts with one another. I read once, I dont know by whom or where it came from. "Lord, help my words to be soft and tender; for tommrow I may have to eat them." I have eaten some shoe leather words in my Christian life time. agape, justme |

divinlyinspireddsilhs: Could you kindly give me a verse that says anything remotely close to "it depemds on why the Christian got divorced in the first place...." that will send a Christian to hell? Please? I some how got the idea that scripture said Christians are spared hell, because they are Christians. Thank you for taking the time to research this for me. agape, justme |

Edb. Perhaps you are unaware that the Pentecostal/Charismatic movements are positively both founded by the same founding Word of Faith Teachers. Some Charismatic churches have moved back to a more orthodox Christiamity. The pentencostal movement is as my note stated is in reality a Word-faith movement. Not everything these teachers expound is wrong. It is impossible to trace the authentic Pentecostal/Charismatic beginings, with out finding the founding leaders were, and still are Word-Faith teachers. I believe there are many devoted sincere true Christians within the Pentecostal/Charismatic churches. I aslo am convienced they are unaware of the movmemts cultic Theology. I think this is a very important topic, that has the potential to have feelings hurt, and anger flare up, rather than have tender kind dialogue take place. I am willing to dialogue but not argue. I am willing to listen and respond with respect and christian love be the center of our motive. But I will not intentional insult or degrade you as a person. If this is what you want, I would respond to you or anyone else, that agrees to the above. But I will respect, and show love, which I require in return. agape, justme |

Ivory 313: May I add please, that if the healing were true, which no one to my knowledge has been proven medically. Lets say that a person has a complete lung, heart, liver, kidney and what ever else they can transplant. Let's assume every went perfect, and the person lives to be 100 years old. No matter what was done it is temporary. Hebrews 9:27 " Just as man is destined to die once. and after that to face judgment. I understand wanting to live a full life. But these healers permote death as an awfull thing for the Christian. Paul was longing to go "home" but knew to "stay" was for Christ's sake. agape, justme |
