601 | Replies to a vulgar comment. | Eph 5:4 | justme | 67178 | ||
Tom: For your first visit, this is not a question worth an answer! Tom I have a teenage daughter and two grand daughters 9 and 12. I hope this question you asked gets blocked from general viewing to be very honest. Your question is unacceptable to me and my wife. Surely you could have been creative and changed the wording! This question is not only offensive but plain stupid! May I suggest you reconsider if this forum is truely where you inteded to post such a vulgar question. Normally I open by wlecome to the Forum. However, If this is the knid of language you are used to writing or talk like, this Forum is not for you. Carefully reconsider if you wanted a Christian Forum. If you agree that this question was in the poorest of disgression, then please try once again, with a worth while question, and you will be welcomed, as at least I often do to new forum users. | ||||||
602 | A Godly reason for disobeying husband | Eph 5:24 | justme | 224535 | ||
Madrina: Welcome to the Study Bible Forum! We are to obey the Word of God. If a husband demands you to do something immoral, or illegal you are justified in saying no. Your first love and responsibility is to the Lord, then to your husband. A true man of God will not ask you to disobey God and His Word. As a Christian we are totally the opposite of a Muslim woman, who would have no choice in such circumstances. If this is a real situation you are asking about contact your Pastor, your families, or other Christians who have imput in his life. A woman is never hopeless or helpless. Blessings. justme |

603 | how do i convince my wife to follow me | Eph 5:25 | justme | 198586 | ||
valspapa: Your husband leadership style sounds like you are pulling your wife, expecting her to follow. Often men feel because they are the spiritual head of the family what they say is law. That's not what Christ says or excepts. May I suggest you reas Ephesians 5:25 to 33. A better way might be to pray together and ask for the Lord to speak to both of you on this matter. Wait until you both agree on what the Lord is leading you to do. By praying and letting God speak to your wife as well, shows her that you value her as your help mate and lover her enough for her to catch up with your thinking. Wise is the man that takes the time for the rest of the family to catch the vision the Lord has given him. Don't hinder your prayers by not taking your wife as a equal believer whom God speaks too as well. Blessings. justme |

604 | how do i convince my wife to follow me | Eph 5:25 | justme | 198616 | ||
Valspapa: Brother in Jesus Christ, you have not offended anyone on the forum. Reading your post about offending, I feel you are a stsrving new born in Christ. Am I right? You need to get your wife on board with you. Point out the scriptual errors you believe to be evident at the church and Pastor. She needs to see that your growth is very important to both of you. I in no way wanted to meke you feel anything but welcome here at the SBF. Let us know how this works, and maybe as we pray together we can help. Blessings. justme |

605 | Bible say about disciplining your wife? | Eph 5:25 | justme | 228906 | ||
Boxbeagle: Welcome to The Study Bible Forum: I Corinthians 13 is the chapter I suggest you to read. As Biblicalman has answered with the Scriptures and my suggestion, should be plenty to go on. Your question is much like a wife asking "what does the Bible say about dicipling your husband?" The marriage relationship is one where we are to love one another, and to be mutial submissive to each other. When the Scripture says the womanis the "weaker" of the two, try saying the word "softer one" that fits much better. Any marriage where the husband has a hard hand is one which is not the way Christ loves the church. No marriage should have a partner that wants to be the boss, we are to be lovers as Christ loves us. Blessings. justme |

606 | inmorality also if the couple will marry | Eph 5:31 | justme | 63834 | ||
fle: Welcome to the Forum! The question you ask is one which a lot of people really don't know. I admire you honesty and sincerity. How else can you know if you don't ask? I read your note to be that you both have agreed you want to get married. What happens if either of you changes your mind? Does that not make you both immoral? In such a case you both walk away being used, and useing each other. You both have given your verginity away. Should not verginity be saved for the one you will marry? There are no guarantees of a marriage until the wedding has taken place. More than one wedding has ended with only one standing waiting for their beloved to come, only to be left betrayed. That is why after the vows or covenant between to husband and wife, are truly bound only after consumation, that is not only legal but moral. The old testament required sever punishment for sex outside of marriage, death! The New Testament in 1 Corinthians 6:13 to 20, 1 Corinthains 7:2 that its better to marry than bury with lust. Ehesians 5:3, and 1 Thessalonians 4:13. are just a few of many verses that say sex before marriage is immorality. Marriage partners who have sex before marriage have a much greater percentage of divorce than those that do not. This has a deep emotional impact on the woman in years to come. That fact is not just for christians. So you may say we all ready have had sex, what do we do? Stop now. Confess you sin 1 John 1:9 and agree to wait untill you are married. That friend will be a real ture test of love. As a father of three daughters I would ask where is the ring, when is the wedding date. That is after he asked my wife and my permission to marry our daughter. Old fashion? Not at all. You can never go wrong with respect and honesty. Remember these are her parents, you future inlaws, and you will need all the emotional support you can get, to make a marriage work! I pray you will take serious the actions you make from this point on. You can not plead ignorance now. God show you the way. justme |

607 | next step..? | Eph 5:31 | justme | 63836 | ||
fle: Bornagain, was not saying that you have not sinned! Yes you have joined yourselves in the flesh, which Paul in 1 Corinthians 6:15 to 20 is very specficly, goes totally against your assumption. As I said in a note to you earlier, if you are both born agin, then you have no other option than the stop sexual activity and confess your sin, and wait until you marry. Yes you have experienced the sexual joy of marriage, but with the guilt and emptiness of no comittment. That is pure and simple immorality. Oh I am sure this is a battle, but give this to the Lord and God can work this out in a honorable way, that will restore your relationship with Him and yourselves. I will pray for wisdom for you both. justme |

608 | Why Rabbi? | Eph 5:33 | justme | 66563 | ||
chris: When I read your note I was in total agreement with you. I was about to mention the same thing to that person until I read your note. I personaly will not address ANYONE by Father or Rabbi, and I am reluctant to call someone PASTOR. or REV. Only the God Almighty has the right to those title of FATHER! Jesus Christ is the one true Rabbi! I often why these titles are used in a forum. Is it to demand respect? Perhaps it is so others will think that with titles it shows spiritual wisdom? We all know Biblical knowledge does not make one spiritual! Nor does a person of prayer need to brag on how God has revield "special revelations". I think you were respectfull and kind, for that is praise worthy. justme |

609 | Hank... take this to heart | Eph 6:12 | justme | 105478 | ||
sickhead: I find your note to Hank a sad expression of inmaturity in wisdom, kindness, respect and spirituality. I have made over 1200 posts on this forum, not once have I ever seen even the slightest hint of any of Hanks remarks of being less than expressions of restraint, and expresions of attempting to reach out to people in Christian love. Hanh has not always reaped what he sowed, he deserves praise and honor for his endless effort to be the person overseeing the forum. I am an old pain in the neck, but hank is an Elder spiritually and in age. Hank has earned my respect. However sickmind in 12 posts you have not even scratched to surface in your spiritual wisdom. I mean this very kindly, but with a sincere solid piece of advice, you are sowing what you have reaped. You sowed a bitter post to Hank that does not deserve it, and you need to pray for wisdon, in how to ask for forgiveness. Pray and think about it, this is a time to grow and mature in the Lord Jesus. Peace. justme |

610 | Trying to help a friend | Philippians | justme | 80927 | ||
dabmci: Philippians was sent to the Philippiams, and this group of verses was a note of following the Severant Attitude of Christ. The passage pretty well speaks clearly. This was good instruction for the Philippians then and is very adaptable for us today. I hope this helps. If not let me know and I will try and be more specfic. Blessings. justme |

612 | Standing firm in one Spirit/spirit? | Phil 2:1 | justme | 113514 | ||
Rat:-) God bless you dear brother. If ( and I am sure it is) chemo is worse than radition was for me, you need our prayers. Be assured I will lift you up before the Lord. I pray for you to be in the direct will of the Lord. I prayed this and had great peace in letting the Lord be totally in control. I pray this for you, Ray. Blessings. justme |

613 | Does the Lord still heal people today? | Phil 3:10 | justme | 138652 | ||
Chaser: I can state infacticly yes he does. The problem is often we pray for healing as if that was the right of us do do so. So we ask with wrong motivies. I had blood clots in my lungs last June.I was told to go home and prepare to die at anytime. I did. I also asked my Pastor to come and pray and annoint me with oil. I asked my Elders and church to pray for me to be in the direct will of the Lord. With that prayer I cannot ask the Lord for anything but what He wants for my life. This takes faith as either way the Lord answers I am not asking for anything bit what He wants. My clots were gone in 40 days and I lived with more clots than the Doctors had seen anyone recover with. I have the before and after Catscans to prove what I have said. I believe God heals today, but far more of a healing it is when someone come to Jesus seeking Him for salvation, with a repentence, and is saved once and for ever. I hope this helps, and God bless you. Have more questions? Just ask. justme |

614 | Peace with Cancer | Phil 4:7 | justme | 87988 | ||
j5962cjs: Welcome to the Forum! I am not sure who this believe is, you or someone you know. However I can speak from very personal experience, to your question. I am in raditation treatment at peresent time. I quite offen read psalm 139. There I find that the Lord knew this would be a part of my life before I was born. The Lord Almighty knows all the days we have, and God is loving and compassionately cares for me. In Romans 8, the entire chapter speaks to every issue I have in living and dealing with cancer. I pray and others as well, that my life be in the direct will of the Father. That is where I want to be, what more can I ask? I some time ago heard about a young person dealing with cance. Their thought was "yard by yard lifes to hard. Inch by inch life is a sinch". To be open, a lot of deep emotions are at the front of my thoughts. To be very honest, at times it is rather overwhelming to deal with cancer. I sometimes feel alone, and sad. There are times I have real peace, and there are times when pain and being uncomfortable physically, I wonder how I will endure to the end of treatments. I am often brought to remember verses I have comitted to memory that bring calmness to my mind and body. I tell you very openly with out my wife and her carrying much of the load and being my "wind benieth my wings" I most surely would be unable to endure this. Our children, all adults and married, and grandchildren, are big in supporting me which all helps. I believe this is much of a total picture of "How to walk in peace". I sincerly hope this helps you, and that you can gleam some peace from my life experience. Blessings and Peace. justne |

615 | How do u stay pure but have pleasure | Phil 4:8 | justme | 56599 | ||
Tiffinay: I think these kind of questions are better aksked to be answered by a mature Christian woman. Perhaps you might ask for responce only from women. Men think differently, and I do not believe you wanted a number of verses just to read. You have a valid question, which I believe you want a practicle answer. Look up at the right of your screenm it says search word(s) type in words that relate to your question, it should help, or restsate your question and ask for female responces only, please. These suggestions might be more help. agape, justme |

616 | Pre-marital Sex and Church Leadership | Colossians | justme | 174484 | ||
JQP: The sad facts are that Christians are about the same as the unsaved world is when it comes to sex, divorce, living together, going to bars, and most other forms of sin. If we asked every person in ministry to resign if any of these sins occured before becoming a minister, there most likely would be a lot od positions empty. Best to concern ourselves with minding our own lives very carefully, and praying for our outher Christians. Justme |

617 | credence for your understanding? | Col 2:5 | justme | 243374 | ||
RWC. I checked a commentary and it suggested that Paul felt a "spiritual oneness" with them. Paul is saying "solid front" "orderly" "firm" are indicated in Paul's affection with them. I could find no meaning to indicate anything else. You have brought a good question that got me to do some more research which I really like to do. Blessings. justme |

618 | Is God hand so short that he cannot lead | Col 2:21 | justme | 88888 | ||
Tim: You have some valid thoughts and conclusions. May I conclude that you are going to a Dispensational Premillennialist Fundimentalist church? There a wide scope of churches that fall into the catagory listed above. As every church has the right to set up their own set of standards, and expect members to follow their standards. Now how far a church can go to make these standards are kept is a horse of another color. Some churches practice shunning, and open punnishment of wayward members. You have shot no religious cow as far as I am concerned. Yes the truth is the truth, and by truth we are set free. You have experienced what I call a church that is quite primative. Many of those who reject modern "english" ways are of this mind set and way of life. Perhaps the better choice is to remove yourself from such a restricted church. I would NOT give them a piece of your mind before I left, but just leave abd find a church that you find closer to scripture. I personally would be very unhappy with this kind of church, however there are some fokes that feel this is the best way for them. The problem is when controlling churches want to take control and responsibility for your total life. I believe that is wrong. Tim, you have some bitterness and maybe rightfully so, only you know for sure. I encourage you to ask the Lord for direction, and then follow the Lords leading. Bear in mind someone who is as unhappy as your are don't like the members being as upset as you seem to be. I suggest you move in a peacefull mannor ASAP. Any thoughts or ideas? Blessings Tim. justme |

619 | Should a wife submit to her husband? | Col 3:18 | justme | 100431 | ||
tsable: I noticed this is your virst post on the Forum. This is a Bible Study Forum, not a dera abby advice Foru. In truth no one is qualified to help you friend but a Christian Counselor. I believe you think you are giving your friend good advice, but your advice is not scriptually correct. I encourage you to read ! Corthians all the way through and pay close attention to what it says about marriage. I encourage you to support your friend to stay in her marriage and keep praying. Marriages take a lifetime to blossem into the best they can be, not a few years. I know as my bride and i have been married 34 years and we are still learning to blossem! justme |

620 | Divorce | 1 Thess 4:3 | justme | 77519 | ||
AnneDenise: The advice you get on this forum is the opinion of well intended Christians, who are not certified Christian counselors or psychologists. The is a Bible forum, and is not intended to deal with or offer the help you and you mate need. May I suggest you need marriage counseling, and nothing else will do. There are to many variations in how we might understand your problems. The baggage most of us carry, and with our own biasis that is too much for the forum, you need an expert to see you through this. One suggestion is ask you Pastor for his advice or perhaps a referal. I am sure several in the forum will remember you in prayer. But seek out counseling while it may still be of help and save your marriage. Blessings. justme |
