2	after death, right then, what?	Bible general Archive 1	farout	46801
	I am questioning my view of death. For most of my life I have been taught that upon my death I would be in heaven. However I recently heard a speaker say that we stay in a state of waiting to be raised when Christ returns. I can read where sleep is refered to as death. When it says in the N.T. concerning those who have fallen asleep. I feel rather ignorant, because I have studied this, and felt I had the answer. Now, I am not so sure. I would like some feed back, as this is sorta bugging me. Thanks for your input. Peace, farout

4	Healing. James 5:14-16	James 5:14	farout	46227
	In James 5:14-16 I have read much about "healing" in the forum lately. I have been a pastor of several small churches. I am the only person I have ever known of who, in a church service anointed a sick believer. This was in a church service with the elders gathered, and the ill persons request, we followed this scripture. I believe this is an act of faith on the ill person and the congregation. I have always prayed for the ill person to be in the direct will of the LORD. I saw one lady who had terminal cancer live two more years, beyond what the doctors said was possible. The glory was strickly given to Christ. I can say I felt this was an act obeying the Word of God. There were a few others and all had a special ending for all concerened. No matter how long our lives are extended it is only tempoary! Has any one else seen this done in their church? I would also question if you have not, why not? Is this not a part of healing that is scriptual? Why do these healers we hear of stay away from childrens hospitals, or rest homes, where none but a few see what is done? I know of one socalled healer that drives a very expensive english rich luxury car. Oh what do you think Jesus would drive today, if he were here now?
5	Pretribulation or slightly after ?	Bible general Archive 1	farout	42585
	I am a pre-millenniumist, however I am finding it very hard to believe a pre-tribulation view. To me it seems to point that the world is, and will continue to become more wicked. at some point, which only the Father knows, Christ will rapture His church. So my question is, is not there tribulation now for Christians in the worls? If Things must get worse then would not a slightly, say 10 to 20 percent into the tribulation view be more accurate? I find it hard to fit in seven weeks here and grab some information somewhere else and fit it into a nice little package. Darby did not come up with the pre-trib theory ubtil 1820. From what I have read early church fathers did not think this way. I would really like some indepth references or factual answers. God Bless, farout@onemain.com

7	Jesus or Paul refering to virgin birth	NT general Archive 1	farout	40173
	Does Jesus or Paul ever mention Christs virgin birth? I am not refering to Jesus' divinity, but specifically to Mary's conception of Jesus? So no one misunderstands me I do beleive in His virgin birth. I am not attacking Biblical intregrity. I just wonder if I have over looked this some place.
8	Why not use Yahweh for LORD?	Bible general Archive 1	farout	39687
	I have read the begining notes in the NASB, NIV, and other translations. I still feel the answer is inadequate for me, I wonder why the NASB and others like NIV does not take a big step, in what seems to me, to be more accurate, and use YHWH for LORD. I think most congreations are now more used to hearing the word Yahweh than in the past. THE NEW JERUSALEN BIBLE, uses it as Yahweh. This is a Catholic translation, and I find is refreshing to see the LORD used as Yahweh. I do not agree with the total translation. I would like to see the LORD refered to as Yahweh. Maybe someone knows of a good translation that says Yahweh.

10	Divorce or Putting Away ?	Matt 5:32	farout	39220
	In the old Testament PUTTING AWAY was what God hated. Is Jesus refering in this verse to PUTTING AWAY or a written certificate of divorce? Please answer after you have done a word study. There is a huge difference between the two.
11	How does God hear prayer, where is heave	Bible general Archive 1	farout	37762
	I have been a Christian twenty years, born again at age 37. My verse I love is I DO BELIEVE, HELP ME WITH MY UNBELIEF. I feel prayer is a supreme act of faith. How can God hear our thoughts? where is heaven? These are child like questions, but I am very serious and would like some really thought out answers. I have a M. DIV so I am looking for some genuine theoligical thinking, please. If you also struggle with this I would like to know how you deal with it too. I bekieve that if I seek answers so must others, so lets bring it to the surface!
12	Confess or ask forgivness of our sins?	James 5:16	farout	35112
	My Pastor taught in the morning service that as Belivers we are told to "confess our sins not to ask for forgiveness." Something in my spiritual heart remembered that in the Lords example prayer, Jesus said " forgive us our debts (sins) as we forgive those who have trepessed (sinned) against us." I looked in VINES EXPOSITORY DICTONARY OF THE NEW TESTAMENT ant the word Jesus for FORGIVE (APHIEMI)is a verb and means " the remission of punishment due to sinful conduct". Matt.6:12. The word in 1 John 1:9 is not the same. I am sure our Father sees the intent and not the exact words, because for more than 56 years of my life I have sought forgivness of my sins. I wonder if confession and asking forgivness is not a process? One must admit to something to seek forgivness is what I have assumes all my Born again days. AMY COMMENTS?

14	Ending prayers in Jesus Nane.	Col 3:17	farout	16948
	Where did Jesus say we must end our prayers "In Jesus Name"? I often fall asleep praying and I doubt that because I did Not remember to say IN JESUS NAME it failed to get His attention. Thank any one for your responce.
