741 | Explain the Holy Trinity-verysimple form | Numbers | justme | 103410 | ||
Morant61:-) Tim, you have attempted to explain something I have yet to reach a complete understanding, and be able to communicate it to others. I usually refer to Deut. 29:29. There are somethings that God alone knows and has full understanding of, for me the Trinity is in that catagory. Blessings tim. justme |

Tuggy: I think you have read too many Left Behind Books. Or perahps you might get in contact with Tim Lehey and see if you could be a co-author. I know you wrote this in Sept. and this is Nov. but I felt you might enjoy some good laughs. Blessings. justme |

DL5: I have read all the notes in this thread between you, radioman and Hank. Your having been in several ministry positions must be aware of how importand it is the sttate our sourse of Scripture when we are making a statement that Jesus said or taught this or that. I have not read any problems with you and to my knowledge we have never had any problems. Therefore may I suggest you stop and think about was these two brothers request unfair, or without reason. I would rather see you grow through this than leave the forum. Blessings DL5. justme |

Radioman2: I read this short thread with Hank, you, and DL5. I was as confused about what DL5 was upset about as you both. When and if someone says they are ready to leave the Bible Study Forum, I scratch my head and wonder. As I understand it we all are here as guests of Lockman. There is no one here that is not expendable, and no one here is being held here, by force that I am aware of. Should anyone want to go elsewhere, or stay here it is our freedom to choose, what's the point to say I am leaving? I may say I believe Scripture teaches this and that, but when anyone says Jesus says, or theaches that requires backup as far as I am concerned. Blessings to you and Hank. justme |

headdoc5: I read your last note and then went back and read all the thread. I found it very interestion on how easy it is to assume so much that is incorrect. There were several splinters and many notes (even by me) that took your question to a different level. I for one learned to ask nore questions, before offering a response. I sometimes feel Christians live in a closter, and don't see beyond the small window outside, which limits our vision. I have taken your experiment to heart and will learn from it. I will say if you had identified your situation and your profession the response would have been quite different. Howeever I would have not learned as muchabout my self that way either. You might try this test anain, iith a different situation next time and see if there is the same results. I hope I will respond in a different way. Blessings. By the way as a Christian Psychologists, how does being a Christian make your methods any diggerent than those who are not Christians? We often read or hear go to a Christian Counselor, is this a fair statement in your opoinion? juustme |

746 | What would Jesus have you do? | John 4:14 | justme | 103144 | ||
Axien7z4: I must have missed the point somehow. I was attempting to say that some might think I base how I react according to the situation at the time. Thus, it would mean I would be a situation ethics type of person, which I am not. I get these "senior moments" and I guess this was one, thanks for letting me clear it up. As to the situation I dealt with, I would do it again in a heartbeat. The thing I feel bad about is the lack of tollerance by proud, dogmatic, uncaring, stiff necked, semi-religious fokes. When we put "corbin" ahead of peoples needs, we are no different then those white washed tombs Jesus refered to. That's my outspoken, emotional opinion. There seems to be a certian percentage that put church doctrine before allowing Gods love, acceptance, and forgiveness. When this happens then we have missed to message of Christ. Perhaps some rely to much on what our denomination or church says, rather than what Jesus intended. I have given this much thought and at least that is what I have seen. I may have seen this in a very limited way, and I am not speaking as a general rule, for any denomination, or paticular church. (I don't want anyone to assume I was refering to denominationalisn or non-denominationalisn.) However I personally favor BOTH! Now that is riding the fence like a elected offical, Right? Thanks for your note and blessings to you. justme |

747 | Must we be Baptized to enter Heaven | John 4:14 | justme | 103076 | ||
Khuck: I thought you were a Christian, you made a good point. I an not a situation ethics person, I do believe that Gods love does require us to met people as they are where they are. I understand Scriptures to say we are to bring glory to Jesus, I pray this did. Blessings and thank you for the kind note. justme |

748 | Must we be Baptized to enter Heaven | John 4:14 | justme | 102968 | ||
Khuck: Excellent question, and I have been there exactally as you satated the circumstance. Thank you for the opportunity to share my first hand experience. I went to visit a referal in the Oncology ward in a hospital in Kansas City North, MO. The woman was near death, and she had lived a very hard sinful life. Her regrets were many to say the least. She was burdened and fearful of death. Our visit was by her choice, direct and to the point. I shared the love and forgiveness of Jesus with her. She received Christ will overwhelming joy. I visited her daily, and she was infatic she wanted to be baptized, because Jesus was her Lord and she wanted to obey Him. I had explained baptism was not required for her salvation. She was so determined she was willing to go through anything just tobe baptized. With all the tubes, and oxygen, immersion was not possible under any circumstances. I was close friends with a pastor who used sprinkling as ther mode of baptism. My pastor friend asked me why not sprinkle her? I was relunctant at first, and rejected the idea. I spent time praying about this. The next time I was there with her, I sprinkled her with this form of baptism. She died within a day or so. She died with peace that she did obey Jesus. This was something she wanted so very much, wish many able people would so convienced of the need to be baptized as well. Some would find fault for a Southern Baptist Pastor to sprinkel, for a symbol of baptism. I took some real heat from my deacon board. I ment the need of a dying women who wanted to show her obedience to her Lord Jesus Christ. However if she had not been baptized I am 100 percent sure she still would have gone to be with our Lord Jesus Christ. I sincerely hope my sharing this opens up our need to help people in the circumstance that they are in, rather than having the sick come to us. I admit this was quite awarkward for me. I did go against my Director of Missions advice, and my church was quite upset, but I ministered to a person who needed to be shown acceptance, forgiveness and the love of Jesus through me. I would do it all the same if I had to do it over again. Any thoughts? justme |

Hank: As i read this note it took me back to a church in the mountian of Arizona. I preached in a church (the oldest Southern Baptist Church in the state) for sever months while attending Grand Canyon College. This church has a pot belly heat stove, out houses, no air conditioning, and the stove did a very poor job of heating. Once a month they had a pot luck and when they did the pay wse reduced by ten dollars. They norminally paid the speaker thenty five dollars. Needless to say this did not even pay for gas back in 1983. In Missouri in the country you stll see churches with out houses and perhaps no electricty, I don't know about that for sure. So Hank, ppeople when motivated will do and put up with a lot of inconvience to worship. Not many will will but a few. Tent meenting happen seldom but there are a few diehards still around. I am not sure if Arkansas has any of these "old time Churches left, I would think so. Have a good day and God Bless. justme |

Cajam: My wife reads what I write, usually later in the evening. Mrs. Justme shows me my many misspelled words, and typo errors, and offers suggestions. She also is a good person to see into spiritual issues that I don't pick up on. I prayed this morning for wisdom in responding to you. I read all the notes from yesterday, that went back and forth after I signed off. I paid special attention to Hanks response to you too. Today is a new day. My opinion is that after 10 months and 116 posts you need to put something about yourself in the Update User Info. We know nothing about you whatsoever. Perhaps this might make me feel you were more a part in wanting to participate with openess, as most of the regulars on the Forum have, please. I am not the Holy Spirit to convict you of sin. I can say if you ask Jesus to show your sin, the Holy Spirit will reveal sin, if there is any to reveal. Scripture says Pride goes before the fall. Could pride be an area to explore, perhaps? I can tell you have a problem with authority. Lockman has made rules they expect to be followed. Several times Hank made some noteworthy remarks that you seem to have ignored. Hank is the who Lockman has asked to oversee this Forum. I will respect Hank. I will respect his authority, or I will have the personal integrity to leave. My observation is you got a lot of attention yesterday. Cajam, you spent a lot of time on the Forum yesterday, what positive points of Jesus' did you share? What encouragement did you give to someone who was looking for something positive in this dialogue. How did the the love of Jesus who lives in you, shine forth? Cajam, what do you hope to accomplish in this Bible Study Forum? Ask yourself, what am I doing here? My hope for you, is to become a brother who contributes in a way that shows you are a compassionate, kind, respectful, Christian. I hope the same for me and all who are involved with this Forum as well. Now as for asking me to state your sin. You do not make a clear understandable statement, or request. The end of your note says you don't need convienced of anything. Then you say that if you can't judge your self then why should I let you judge me. This is not even clear thinking, and how would you suggest I respond to a double minded persons request, that does not make sence? This is a prime example of what several people have brought to your attention. This kind of communication is not worthy of spending all day on the coumputer, or the public viewing in the Bible Study Forum. When all you accomplish is getting folkes dander stirred up, and making yourself become so frustrated that you don't make logical questions, you need to ask yourself what am I doing this for. Perhaps you need some personal contact with people, whom you can have contact with. Perhaps you are seeking attention or reassurance that you beliefs are within acceptable Christianity. Cajam, I don't wish you anything but God's will for your life. I think you have some strong potential. I know you need to take some time and assimilate all that went on yesterday, and spend some time asking God to show you a better way to communicate and minister to others. I sincerly hope this helps heal some wounds, and we all will learn and grow from this long restricted, dialogue. I have spent time with you that I hope this does some good to help you grow. Peace to you Cajam. justme |

Cajam: You can take me in truth, respect, kindly, and in Christian love. There is no reason for you to show the disrespect to Tim, and then compair you conte,pt to the actions of Paul. I am always interseted in dialogue, but not when it turns ugly and unkind. I wonder is all you are concerned about is "if I have broken the forum rules." Should we not be more concerned about braking fellowship with a believer in Christ? Yes I do feel you are under Christian obligation to applogize to Tim and me as well. Please take me as someone whom Christ lives in and respect Him that resides in me and His Holy Spiiirit which has sealed me until that day, if for no other reason than these alone. I never go off on anyone, I will be stern when a brother is slammed or degraded by another brother in Christ, To me this is unacceptable and is very serious. Cajam we all are responsible for the Blood of Christ. If we were not none of us would need saving from our sime. Peace. justme |

Morant61: Did I mistakenly sent the note to you instead og cajam? No way do I see you owe any such apology. When a person suggests you are opposed to Christ this crosses way to far beyond the line. I received a note a short time ago and it was like dancing with my shadow, no one there to acknlwlefdge anger. Blessings. justme |

Cajam: In my humble unworthy opinion, take it for what it's worth, you are on very thin ice spiritually and in truth. Now I know I am as dumb at dirt, but here in Missouri when someone says he is not a duck, yet it has feathers, has web feet and quacks like a duck, looks like a ddduck, and hangs arround with a duck, thhat's enough for me to call him a duck. To bring this story into the light, you made a unexcusable remark to Morant61, better known as Tim. In fact I wrote you about this remark. Lets call a spade a spade as I think the pussyfooting arround is reached an untollerable point. You are not sorry any more than a man in the moon. When you try to convience me you did not angry. I never said I did not want ANY sinners to come to our church! You have somehow made that up, and it just iissn't so! How in Gods green earth do you come up with making a statement that I greatly under estimate the power of the Holy Ghost (Spirit)." Boy you gotsome kind og ego problem or what gives. This isn't play school you dealing with here. Would you quit saying your not denominational biased! I don't care what you admit but the Jesus Name only "group" is as close as it comes. If your are not asshamed of what you belong to then stand up and be proud or sit down and be quiet. I think you need to be put in time out to think about you actions! Name calling will not be tollerated I assure you. peace. justme |

Cajam: Justme here. You have stepped way over the line here! This note to Tim is not only disrespectfull, but down right, low down rude. This just is not how we are to treat each other. That is not the Froum rules, this is solid Biblically based. I think you ought to be considering a sincere appology if you are claiming to represent the Son of God jesus Christ. You better give this some very serious thought. Paece. justme |

Morant61: I must confess that in my liberal way of thinking I do take the Bible as my final authority, and believe the Bible is completely trustworthy and without errors. I am sure this is cutting edge technology and revelation for some, but none the less I am willing to trust what the Bible says with my eternal life. I am praying this might catch on and start a new movement. Perhaps we might call this new movement Christianity. What do you think? Blessings Tim. justme |
