I'd like to encourage everyone to read this: Go to: http://www.thruthebible.org You'll see a menu in the middle of the page, click on: (Read) the recent WASHINGTON POST article featuring TTB Tshwa programs in Mozambique Excerpt: "In the developing world, many people find that radio is about the only mechanism that is available," said Robert Fortner, a specialist in religious broadcasting and director of the U.S.-based Media Research Institute. "They hang on to it the way people hang on to a life raft after a tsunami." Radio is helping drive the growth of religion worldwide as religious broadcasters expand the popularity, reach and influence of their churches. In the world's most distant corners, they are reaching millions of people largely cut off from the world by money, distance and language. "These programs connect people to a world that they otherwise have no access to," Fortner said. "They indicate to these folks that someone 'out there' cares enough about them to prepare programs in their own language and speak to them about their own struggles." If you are worrying, wondering, praying, or in the least concerend about what God is doing to get His word to the lost world, this article is very incouredging! "And He said to them, Go into all the world and preach and publish openly the good news (the Gospel) to every creature [of the whole human race]." Mark 16:15 NASB AMPLIFIED God bless John |

You are welcome! Thank you too for opening your heart in your profile. I'd like to say, you shouldn't feel alone in your struggles, many of us, especially as young men, have fought that battle, but He is able to sanctify us! As paul says, keep on fighting the good fight! |

1167 | Who decides which marriages God honors? | Ephesians | stjohn | 200793 | ||
Dear Mainey, Brother Hank is right, I in no way intended to brush you off. If I appeared to tersely brush you aside I am truly sorry. Sometimes my delivery is quite clumsy, but He is still working on me, you should have known me ten years ago! :-) You can be certain, Mainey, that many here who read this are praying for you and your family, my friend. Just a note; I've known women in my life that would fantasize about something that they want so very badly, such as doing something that we could never begin to understand, and that is having children. Now I don't know, but perhaps she just couldn't hold up to the disappointment of not being able to give you a child. My wife has a friend, who is perhaps a little dizzy, but beside that, she has thought that she maybe was pregnant, and she also had a tubal legation as a young woman. I've heard some women say that just holding an infant causes them to lactate! These are truly some very strong and very emotional desires that we as men, could really never know. Anyway, I'm telling you this in hope that you will somehow find it easier to forgive her. God bless John |

Hi Mainey, According to the Bible, I'd say, you are indeed in. I'm praying for you, your wife, and for your four children. May I suggest you get some christian counseling, perhaps from your paster. Beyond that I cant go, I may have already gone too far according to the, terms of use, as laid down by our gracious host, The Lockman Foundation. This is a Bible study and marital advice is not within the scope of this sites purpose. I am sorry for your trouble, my friend, but some of us, just have to carry more luggage then others. Matt 19:6 "So they are no longer two, but one flesh. What therefore God has joined together, let no man separate." God bless John |

1169 | does this sound familiar? | Bible general Archive 4 | stjohn | 200736 | ||
Thank you Brother WOS, that really does sum it up! I was looking for some good verse to go along with that but gave in too soon. I just wanted to get it up on the board for all to see where we are headed if we don't turn to God as a country, and I fear it's down hill. Excellent choice of Scripture! Nice to have you back in the mix here at the forum by the way. :-) God bless John |

The historian Gibbon, (1737-1794), concluded that there were five reasons for the decline and fall of The Roman Empire. Gibbon was by no means a Christian, but this is why he was convinced Rome fell: (1) The undermining of the dignity and sanctity of the home, which is the basis of human society. (2) Higher and higher taxes; the spending of public money for free bread and circuses for the populace. (3) The mad craze for pleasure; sports becoming every year more exciting, more brutal, more immoral. (4) The building of great armaments when the great enemy was within; the decay of individual responsibility. (5) The decay of religion, fading into mere form, losing touch with life, losing power to guide the people. |

Hi Sister Cheri That does seem to fit very well! Good work! :-) I think somewhere in the cobwebs of my, alleged mind, I've heard of, but not heard, a performance of Stainers' The Crucifixion, accompanied by a narration from Psalms. God bless and Shalom John |

“The call is watch, study, attended to reading. In truth you cannot read too much in scripture, and what you read, you cannot read too carefully, and what you read carefully you cannot understand too well, and what you understand well you cannot teach too well, and what you teach, well, you cannot live too well. Therefore dear Sirs pray, study, be diligent.” Martin Luther |

Hi parpar, Thanks' for your response. I hope we would not throw out a bushel of wheat, for one questionable kernel. :-) Please forgive me but, it seems like that is grasping. Having said that, I hope we can put those differences aside and, I'll respond to your continuation of this post where you said, "No where in Scripture does the Lord say, "Unless you understand what is meant by, the sons of God, or know what the Nephilim are, can you be saved"." Amen, I totally agree! God bless John |

dear parpar, If I've been remiss in welcoming you to the forum then... welcome to the forum! If you haven't read this whole thread I would, if you please, like to direct you to post # 26083 . This explanation calls for much less "speculation" if indeed any. By the way, I have to wonder,... if you believe that your explanation calls for, "pure speculation" and, "is in no way to be taken as foundational Christian doctrine". Why would you then adopt it? God bless John |

1177 | Okay to question faith and the Bible? | 2 Tim 3:16 | stjohn | 200474 | ||
Dear parpar The thing is, though we may feel uncomfortable with the truth for a time, it's amazing how quickly those feelings are put aside. We should be very careful not to build a doctrine on our creating a God in our image. (1 Sam 15:23) Peace can be found in accepting God as He is, and the Word for what it says. It's actually a pretty comfortable place to sit where we can say; gee,... I don't know how to explain it, but God said it, and that's good enough for me! He is God, and we, well, we are not! Appearances are deceptive, God's Word is truth. (Mal 2:6-7) Those who seek contradiction can find all they want. Those who seek truth, will find truth. (Matt 7:7) I believe Doc has given you a much better answer in post's (#200470, and #155648), but just thought I'd add my, half mite of, alleged, wisdom.... :-) God bless John |

Yes Sir, you are so right! And I really have to wonder again about motivation, when straightforward questions are asked and there is no response! Hmm? .... It'll be interesting to see if Velda, returns, as promised, with yet another, "challenge"! Bless You, Doc. John |

1179 | HOW DO YOU KNOW HE NOT A BELIEVER | Gen 11:6 | stjohn | 200398 | ||
Dear Irene I'd like to say, that, those who have tried to correct you, are doing so because of their love for God, His Word, and for you too, although it is really hard sometimes to divide that love because it's really all the same in a sense. We are all part of the Body of Christ. But, also, because of that, we must speak up, when we see a brother or sister, that is perhaps not handling His Word, rightly. I have not been here as long as Azure, BradK, Hank, or Doc, and many others. But I have learned very much form them, (in a relatively short time), and from the Word since my arrival about a year ago, and I can tell you that they have helped me a great deal in my understanding of God's Word. I know how hard it is to be corrected in public, nobody likes it, it's tough to take. So anyway, please don't think that just because someone is correcting you that they are doing it in a mean or unloving way, because they are not. It is because they have that love that they are caring enough to try to help you. By the way, thank you for not yelling in your last post. So please stop thinking that they are not loving just because you don't like to be corrected, after all, no-one likes to be corrected. So I hope this motivates you to try harder to be careful to do your homework before you post, so that those you are responding to, get the full benefit of God's Word. Speaking the truth in love! God bless John |

Hi parpar Yes, I can see were it could (though it may be a stretch) be taken like that in a broad view of the whole counsel of Scripture, but we should be careful to look first at it's immediate contextual interpretation before we take it (outside) of that interpretation. I believe John Gill's expo, on v 62 tells it pretty well. By the way, you can get it free, on line, at, http://www.freegrace.net/gill/ I should point out too, that John was a baptist and, of course much of his exposition reflects Baptist doctrine, though this particular view in v 62, has no seemingly overt nor obscure baptist slant. (Not that I have a problem with that) God bless John --"Ver. 62. [What] and if ye shall see the son of man,.... Meaning himself then in a state of humiliation, and was taken for a mere man, though the true Messiah, and Son of God: ascend up where he was before? for Christ was, he existed before his incarnation, and he was in heaven before; not in his human nature, but as the word and Son of God: and he intimates, that when he had done his work, and the will of his Father, for which he came down from heaven, by the assumption of the human nature, he should ascend up thither again; and which would be seen, as it was, by his apostles; and which would prove that he came down from heaven, as he had asserted; see Eph 4:9; and that his flesh and blood were not to be eaten in a corporeal sense; in which sense they understood him: and he hereby suggests, that if it was difficult to receive, and hard to be understood, and was surprising and incredible, that he should come down from heaven, as bread, to be eat and fed upon; it would be much more so to them to be told, that he who was in so mean and lowly a form, should ascend up into heaven."-- John Gill's Exposition of the Entire Bible. |
