1321 | inmorality also if the couple will marry | Eph 5:31 | justme | 63967 | ||
EdB:You have correctly and clearly stated a point that is often left out the of reasons sexual intercourse outside of marriage. 1 Corinthians 6:16 says we become one with that person. Oneness is far more than sexual gratification. There is oneness of being totally exposed spiritually, and the giving away of your personhood. When united casually, and using sex for recreation, is making your mind believe what everything contrary to what we know is wrong. What is quite clear, this is one area that Christians seen to be willing to skip over as if there is no consequences for their sin. Over and over the writter of Psalms warns to not fall into the arms of sexual sin. Sex is a powerful drawing, so powerful Pastors that have been strong faithfull men, have fallen, and ruined their family, church, and their future, for a few passing moments of sinful pleasure. I believe men counseling women, and women cunseling men, is wrong! There are some built in dangers, and the protection, for anything that could damage a reputation, must be provided for at all costs. I have known of this happening many times. I never once recall anyone saying "I went into this situation wanting to seduce that person." Most always I have heard "I can't belive it happened to me." By then it is too late. The damage is dome. Sometimes the hurt is so great there is no salvage of anything! That is a too high price for pain that will last a lifetime! There is no such thing as a one night stand. In true actuality it is a lifetime sorrow. What we do sexually needs to be as pleasing to the Lord, Just as any other area of or lives, perhaps even more so. Sex is one area that satan is a tempter that is hard to resist, but God is able to protect us if we but flee such sin. justme |

srchng: There is a lot of advice being tossed at you, and your last post was at 2:10am. Wow, and you started at 5:16pm, that's a lot of time invested seeking answers. Do you feel that your husband just might feel neglected when you are up at the computer at 2am? I am not saying the problems are because of you, but it is questionable as to what really is the problem. I know the Forum members who respomded to you, have tried to help. I mean no disrespect, but what if you had spent that same nine hours in prayer and sutdy of the Word in reguards to marriage? I think you might have a clearer direction, and a peace that God brings by seeking His will for you in His Word. May I suggest reading 1 Corinthians 7:1-11 for a short view od leaving your husband. For a more complete understanding read read all 16 chapters. Yes I am serious, it would take only a few hours at most. With reading the complete book you have nothing taken out of contex. This would give you the answers you seek, I am sure! The book of James the first chapter is very helpful. Especially verse 5. There it tells how to get wisdom, which it appears you are needing. By going to the source, the WORD of God you allow the Holy Spirit to lead and instruct you. No matter who give you advise there is one sure way to find real truth that heals, brings comfort and peace, with wisdom. Nine hours in prayer, and study in the Word can move a mountian! Nine hours on the computer is only getting spiritual opinions of humans who do not know you like the Lord does. Read Psalm 139 if that chapter does not convience you that God knows all your ways, and days, nothing ever will. Always go to the LORD first, as He is your Heavenly Father who loves you unconditionaly! I hope this changes your life. justme |

srching: I am not impressed at all!I am glad you found some "meat". I feel like you are acting like a wolf in sheep's skin. If this was a made up situation I do not appreciate this at all. By what you said, it led a lot of forum responders on a wild goose chase. Frankly, I feel rather used and foolish. I do not have time for fun and games on the forum. justme |

1330 | Peace with Cancer | Phil 4:7 | justme | 88033 | ||
prazn: Dealing with a chronic illness, is so much different than a some "infirmities". Chronic long term on going illness is some that lasts you whole life. Some time like in Pauls case he suffered the rest of his life. I believe that long term chronic illness is especially hard on the suffer's family. I am sure that every time someone askes hou the ill person is doing the supportive family grows weary of saying over and over aabout the same. I add that few churches able to minister to the person or the family of a chronic ill person and their family as this takes an enormus effort in being supportive. This situation is in reality long term hospice. This person and family drain emotional and spiritual energy form the church. Quite often chronicly ill people are depressed and not easy to minister to. The family too suffer every bit as much as the ill one. I wanted to give you some added insight that might not of otherwise have been brought up. I wonder if you have any additional thoughts or comments. justme |

prazn: I am concerned that "healing" has been so distorted by the Word of Faith movement, that many are asking for healings out of selfish and dangerious motives. We live in a world of instant everything. "I want it now" is the physical and spiritual demand of many Christians. What right to we have to not expect suffering? If the Lord does heal fine if not then as Paul said to be absent from the body is to be with the Lord. Which do you see as better? I see Christians pray and expect an answer right now! What about persistance, and letting the Lord accomplish His will. The Lord is not a sugar daddy that doels out answers based on our demands. Yes, nothing is impossible for him who believes" but it goes only as far as we are in His direct will. Would you not agree? I have never heard of one single "healing" by these WOF fake healers, being able to be proved by any medical team. I have never heard of amy one going into a cancer word and start healing any of these people, have you? I am very opomistic of people being healed with out concrete verifiable evidence. I have heard some say they were healed of some illness, and to die shortly after. Was their faith not strong enough? This kind of healing has the fir on my neck stand up. For example Benny Hinn is the biggest fake there is! Yet every where he goes ignorant believers who DO NOT know Scriptur fall into this demon indwelt son of the devil Benny Hinn. Why? He is one of many who appeal to "instantly got to have it now" ignorant Christians. I am not saying healing does not happen. I believe in James the last chapter tells us how to go about seeking healing. Then if there is a ture physical healin of the flesh, the healing can beverified by the people who anointed and prayed for the ill person. Your thoughts? Peace. justme |

1332 | How do u stay pure but have pleasure | Phil 4:8 | justme | 56598 | ||
Markarios: When I see these type of questions, I wonder if they are not better answered by a mature Christian woman. We do have several in the forum. There is some reason she was seeking an answer that was, I think, wanting not so much a Biblical line of verses but more technical down to earth solutions to her wanting to be pure, yet to relieve herself of sexual frustration. I do not think we as men can adaquitly answer that. You must surely see she was asking for more than you answered. Don't you agree. My view, when it comes to sexual questions it is best handled by those of the same sex. Just thought I would share my feelings onthis kind of advice. I think it is worth your consideration. agape, justme |

1334 | how to be baptize'd do you need holy | Col 2:12 | justme | 56982 | ||
Makarios: I agree with your answerto ptimpalsix@aol.com (wow I am glad I don't have to say that mouth full) Maybe we might suggest a better name. Except I do think method is important.Immerison is as you said the Biblical method. Most churches that sprinkle accept infant baptism . Which I fins no Biblical grounds for. I have sprinkled a woman who was very near death, and there was no alternative. I amglad you said what you did about the holy spirit. | ||||||

1336 | repost of circumcission and baptism? | Col 2:12 | justme | 57199 | ||
Morant61: I hope some paid attention to your fine suggestion of how to find, and do word studies. This proves, with patients and genuine interest of study, anyone can grow and learn a lot. However you are competing with these self taught "terachers" on TV that are so spell binding and emotion runs the show, that few there are that will look up these false teachers words, and find out their are truely "false teachers". It any wonder that many TV preachers have fallen. and the pure Chruch takes the shame. Tim you and so many on the forum try to poimt the new lambs in the right direction, That's all we can ask. Thank you. agape justme |

1337 | Saturday a day of worship? | Col 2:16 | justme | 225182 | ||
Makarios. In the Jewish Jesus program, this converted Rabbi still wares the full garb and feels that to win other Jews to Jesus he is convicted to worship on Saturday. This makes me feel uneasy, much like SDA. I personally agree with your opinion. Blessings. justme |

1338 | Is God hand so short that he cannot lead | Col 2:21 | justme | 88898 | ||
Tim: 1John 4:18, Heb 12:15. Fear and bitterness will eat you up completly, your 122 postings in 5 days is a record I do believe. Tim slow down, people in this forum come form many backgrounds. Mostly what forum members ask is respect and kindness, with these in place dialogue soon developes. I do not why you feel about demonations as you do, but I would be interested to know. I have in the past been in three Baptist denominations, and found their support for missions on the field are much better off and do more ministry that faith based missionaries, Often faith based missionaries struggle with sometimes less than 50 percent of their required support. While in Bolivia in 1982 there was a general strike that caused EVERYTHING to stop. Several faith based missionaries were invery serious financial trouble, no gasoling, food, and many of the basic things of life. I personally saw the Southern Baptist missionaries help the faith based missionaries stay afloat, and supply the others so they could function. I am involved with non-denominational chuch now and like just as well, infact in many ways better. We do not have membership, and we have a Pastor-Elder board that oversees the church. I personally believe this is clostest to the Biblical pattern. Would you be willing to share where you are coming from? Blessings Tim. justme |

Tim: What a refreshing chang you have made! That kind of change is hard to make, thank you. I read that your journey as a Christian has been hard, and by all I read it sounds like you have been in a church that was very harsh and controling. That is not good. I pray you will continue to grow, blessings Tim. justme |

popdzl: Your note was interesting and weel thought out. You are able to get you opinions and feelings out well. May I give you my perspective in response to your note? In no way do my words or expressions represent any other person or this Forum, only myself. The Bride of Christ is the Church. When we belittle the Church we are devoring each other. Yes it is true that a number of demonations have been started by splinters of beliefs. However, so have many churches, and this is not always a bad thing. There are many denomations that have a very good solid theology and do a super ministry. I would never blanket all or most denomations with belonging to racism or nationalism. On the contary Many demonations have done a excellent job at fighting issues of standing against unequality. As for nationism, you have many who served this country to thank that you have the freedoms you have! What is wrong with being a proud nation? Where whould you rather live? I think your judgement of seminary students being exploited into "indoctrination" is seriously flawed. Having made your speculation suggesting that someone who goes to seminary is mearly a human parrot who learned to repeat what they were taught is pure hogwash! You have done the very thing you said was wrong, "they do not know and substitute speculation for truth". Friend you have made statements that are spoken from a position of pure ignorance. Would you be so bold as to expose any one of thoese "EVERYBODY's" that thinks they are right because they went to seminary? I have looked at this forum for a couple of years, and I have found few questions from which no man (or woman) could answer. Your presume wrongly that "What it boils down to is that people will do whatever they want and use anything to justify it. "Where or how do you come to the conclusion? Perhaps what one is so critical of is a problem they have themselves? Friend you are very critical, and present such a negative view of seminaries and those who have attended, and that teachers are false teachers, and openly critical of the Forum and those who use it. I believe the Bible says what is in a mans heart comes out of the mouth, or in your case in print. If you are so down about the Church (bride of Christ) and the churches seminaries and the leadership of teachers, and this forum, why on earth do you spend your time spreading discontent and such negativity and bitterness on this Christian forum? Why not just start a forum of those who hate all the things that so upset you. To be very blunt if you are unhappy with the forum and the people who are answering the questions, then please buy all means leave! No one is keeping you here, you have total freedom to go! May I suggest that if you are so unhappy, that your problems are significantly deeper that you may be aware of. May I use your quote to state how I feel also: "What it all boils down to is that people will do whatever they want to to justify it. Sadly, this is practiced by the Church of Today." Are you not a part of the church today? You, by your own words have made yourself guilty of the things you so dislike. You have in deed and word offended not only those who attended seminary, but the Church, and this Forum. You are truely to be prayed for. Think about this. Any thoughts or applogies? justme PS: my seminary teachers were some of the most humble dedicated loving Christians that I have ever known! No one indoctrinated me either. |
