624 | The Christian response? | Judg 1:13 | justme | 196979 | ||
Doc: At some funerals I have done, the person had never looked as nice, or never appeared like they were in better health. Perhaps, we too put on our "Christian makeup" for church, and take off the phoney face through the rest of the week. I can not imagine anyone with any understanding of what war does making the suggestion Rev. Hagee did. Ask any disabled Veteran how long war wounds last, or take to heal. The way Rev. Hagee talks he probably is an armchair warrior, with a purple butt medal. In Matthew 5 Jesus gave a better way to avoid conflicts, when at all possible. Thanks for your remarks Doc, blessings. 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 |

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 |

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 |

Sordman007:I have read the notes you have written and the answers thar were sent back to you. You bring some interesting points to the forum. I wish you would take a few minuets of your time and tell us something about yourself in the Update User Info. on the top under of Resources. That way we can respond better, and know you a litter better. You are clearly well educated, and know much more than the basic Christian. That tells me you have studied hard or been educated someplace. I enjoy reading notes that offer a challenge to ridged thought. I hope to enter this dialogue some other time, but welcome to the forum. justme |

Sordman007: Out of being a bit confused by your questions and notes, can you clarify for me what you are attempting to get across? I think I read you are not against monogany. However I get the impression you are likewise not against plural wives. Am I correct in my understanding? Why is this an area that you have such a strong interest to dialogue about. You are the first person that has ever brought this up in such a well thought out way. In following the theology of your thoughts, a man could fall in love with another woman while married, and rather than divorce his first wife, if his first wife allowed, he could add the new loved woman to the family? This would be acceptable in several countries now. Under this theological assumption the only position the church would not allow him to serve is Elder or Deacon. Am I right? Looking at this just from a pratical stand point, few women in America would find this acceptable. Financially what man could afford plural wives? I can't imagine two women getting along in this situation. We see that in many situations of certian sects of religious groups in America. Sad, but often there is incest involved in these plural wives marriages, which clearly violate Biblical standards. What are your thoughts? justme |

Sordman007: I do respect your honesty, and the seriousness of deep conviction. Let me say again, you have a very well thought out presentation of your view point. I have never read anyone with such depth of study, and knowledge of scripture in regards to plural marriages. I clearly see you have devoted much time in studing this subject. I personally would not, nor could not have such a well defined, chrisp and clear defense to rebut your theory. I do agree to disagree with you, with kindness and respect. I think your bias clouds your understanding. When we have our mind made up, and so well organized with selected scripture, that seems to back up our theory, it is impossible for others to prove to us what might be an error, in understanding the wide scope of scripture. Rather than address the scripture you used, may I use what Jesus said? With out exact quotes. Jesus said to render to Ceaser that what is Ceasers, and to God the things that are His. Well Ceaser is our governing laws in the USA. We are told to obey the law. There is no way I can see that plural marriages is not a legal problem. Thus making it a moral problem with the LORD ALMIGHTY. I present this theory in respect and kindness. However Don, I wonder why such an issue, that is pretty outlandish, in today's world in the USA, occupies so much of your conversation on the forum? I sincerely doubt that your view point has much impact in the general interest in the lives of most Christians in the USA. I would much more like to read such well thought out theory on predestination, or Millennisum, or even eternal security! (Which eternal security has been a topic so many times this year we are all still holding our breath for a while.) In all kindness, I do not know of a single seminary professor in the two I attended that would give your theory any creditability. The word that comes to my mind is scripture twisting. I mean this with no offense to your personhood. I do feel and think you need to look at the lives of the people in the Bible who had plural wives and see that there was consequences for stepping out of God's direct will, into His tollerable will. There is quite a difference between the two. I have yet to read any where in the Bible that says pulral wives is good, and is God's will for men and women. Please think on what I have said. I look for your further dialogue. justme |

Sordman007:yes "marriage with out legal paper work" is wrong! Boy I have hear this many time by couples wanting just a religious wedding, but not on paper. That's pure Missouri, Mule dung! If the man dies after living and having children with this woman, who did not think a "piece of paper" was important, the "wife? and children would get NOTHING. No Social Security or help as they should. This arrangement may be fun for the man, as he can walk off and live with someone else at anytime! Where is the certificate of divorce here? Did not even Moses address this "putting away"? Jesus said who ever sends away (puts away) his wife and someone else marries her, she becomes an a forniacator. Don, you are twisting scriptures! As I asked before show me a verse that gives God's approval for plural wifes! There is none! Now you have taken it even further by saying living together is a Biblical marriage? Don, take off your blinders. How does the world view this any different than from what is more commonly called "playing house"? Don, I care enough to say, you are in left field and the ball game ended a long time ago. These aguements were popular in the early 18 hundreds. These justifications were not valid then, and there still not valid or acceptable now. A Christian is to be above reproch, and this is below civilized standards. Surely you are not so unothrodox as to see this is a seriously afront to basic Christian wisdom and ethics? Think on these. I look to hear again from you. justme |

Sowardman007: Don, I have the feeling you are filled with a lot of issues bothering you. In compassion let me remind you Jesus said this is not our home. What you see and are expressing remind me so much of how mistreated God's Choosen wer abused. Your note makes me feel you are a sensitive person who see's how unfair life is. Jesus said if the world hated Him the word will hate us also. Speaking as a person that has experienced much physical pain, and some very deep emotional wounds, Christ Jesus will be with us no mater what we endure. Romans 8:37-39. I am reminde of pPaul who said several times he had learned to be content under all circumstances. This contentment is something only the Holy Spirit gives. No matter what our outward experiences bring, I can be content knowing my Lord Jesus is within me. Don there is no government that has no injustice, or the rich have control, and that total freedom is a absolute reality. Having said that, I spent one year in a Naval Hospital, and for more than 34 years had to live with the results of foolish selfish warmongers. I still can think of no other place I would rather live. If you think we are oppresed here then you need a reality check. I am sincerely sorry about what your step-father said. Let me bluntly say I would die to protect my family in such a situation. I have several Amish friends and some consevertive Mennonite, (horse and buggy) brothers in the Lord which My Wife and I have broken through and established a special bond of Christian love. Not all would allow what your step-dad said he would. Don, you sound bitter. I hope you find some peace and get a Christian world view, so you can enjoy being a Christian, rather than looking at faults and more caused to tackel. Peace to you Don. justme |

Sword007: I used a secular dialogue, because your understanding of scriptyre and morality is so twisted. There can be no learning when you have so closed yourself to thepoint of saying wrong is right and right is wrong. The sad thing is you defend immorality as under the guise that because God did not disallow some practice that makes it acceptable. How foolish an assumption God allowed Adam and Eve free will. God did not disallow them from sinning. Does that mean is acceptable because He did not disallow it? Your reasoning is seriously flawed. For one who has such knowledge you have used it to your own distruction. Let's drop this subject, frankly no truth that you say is not truth is a stalemate. I give this up to someone else. I truly think you have crossed over the line of wisdom into humanism. Peace. justme |

635 | How many people raised from the dead | 1 Kin 17:22 | justme | 174261 | ||
BradK:-) After jesus raised from the grave Scripture says graves were opened and many of the raised were walking among the People. There is no way to know the number, but that too is something to consider. Someday we too will be in that number! That will be a time of more fully understand what Mercy and Grace really mean. Blessings Brad! Justme |

lionheart: I personally have found that suffering is as C. S. Lewis said, that suffering was one way to get the worlds attention. (this is not a quote) I found that Romans 8:29 answered my questions as to what benefit or purpose suffering served. We are becoming mor like Jesus Christ. I discovered this verse in 1985, and from that time I have never questioned the "WHY" of anything that has come to serve me to grow in Christ. There is a book and I don't reemember the Author, but I believe the title was THE MEANING OF SUFFERING. The author has been in the death camps in WW II. He was a rabi if I remember correctly. Of all the authors I have found more helpful information from C. S. Lewis. Suffering is the norm for most of the world. We in the USA see suffering as punishment, and perhaps even take on the role of Jobs friends without knowing it. For me, I can say I am blessed and shown that Holy Father loves me and is in total control of my life. Thanks for your note, blessings. justme |

flinkywood: Thanks for your response. However you did not answer my question. Do you have Both the NASN Updated and the ESV? If not please do not answer questions. I most certianly have done enough review, that's why I wanted someone who uses both. Better to say I don't know than answer, and leave it unanswered than to answer incompletly. Thanks anyway. justme |

638 | NASB Updated and ESV. | 1 Chr 20:3 | justme | 86339 | ||
Finkywood: Thanks so much for this response. You have in deed helped me. I did go the Lemstone and got some free textual and editors information. I then went to the ESV site and spent a long time looking over their information. Frankly I wonder why so many versions of the scripture are saying they are the most literal. I was required at one seminary to used the NRS and really did not care to much for it. When I read the RSV is in large part of the ESV I pretty well deternined to just stay with the Updated NASB. I suppose my age is showing but it is hard to change. I made the change of primary versions from NIV to the Updated NASB shortly after it came out. That and my pastor uses the NKJV which I don't see much to drastic difference, except the NASB flows easier and seems more natural to read and for me to comprehend. Any way thanks for your nice response. I wish you had a note in the Update User Info. as you sound very intellegent and worth knowing something about. Blessings to you. justme |

639 | NASB Updated and ESV. | 1 Chr 20:3 | justme | 86455 | ||
EdB: I enjoy your scholarly input. I am very much aright brained thinker and some how the Updated NASB seems to touch my heart, or should I say the wording and sentence structure fits my thinking process best. I like Psalm 139 in the Updated NASB, verse 3 the words flow like a new born lamb's wool. "You scrutinize my path and my laying down, A are intimately acquainted with all my ways." The very special way the words are put together are quite personal for me. What ia so amazing for me is the wide choice of Bible translations we English speaking people have. Especially sad is how many peoples have no scripture in their native tongue. This is indeed a fact we as Christians in America will have accountability for having Bible illiterate Christians. There is no excuse for us to say we did not have the Word in our heart and lives. I re-read your Profile again. I was not aware that Lockman had any problem with anything you have written. AS far as I am concerned we have many views represented in the forum, some which make my hair stand up. WOF has not much creditability in my book. That subject has been a thorn in my flesh several times. Now I simply avoid any dialogue on WOF. Now watch any time I say I wont do something I wind up doing just what I said I would not. Sounds a little like Paul, not doing what he should, but knowing what he should do. I think you make choices that are best for you, and you have the defined reason as to why, which I think is very good. Most Christians I believe follow the sheep with the loudest baha, right over the edge of the mountian cliff, playing follow the leader. I doubt anyone will ever say that about you. Blessings and Peace. justme |

EdB:I agree with your opinion that syncinrotism is a fact. However, good or bad we do have the freedom of speech, and the requirement to give respectful, ansewers. I don't think it is Lockman persa that makes the ruels as the the group that formed the forum, and their choice in managing or creating the guidlines. I am sure some might say I am not one to just accept anyones word I want sourses and proof before I will agree to some issues. What you say is also true for some demonations as well. The acceptence of sexual imoral life styles in the church leadership and tollertaing it's members in out defience of Scripture is openly common. I just can't imagine Sodom being much worse. As a teen ager in the fifties, most Baptist churches preached about sin, like smoking, drinking, gambling, movies, dancing, and fornication. I can't remember the last time I have heard any sermon specficly naming thes sins and calling for repentance. Can you? Well I get of my soap box now. Have a happy fathers day! justme |
