1 | Where does membership come from? | NT general Archive 1 | strts | 123186 | ||
I have read all of these posts and must stand by them all. The only thing I can think to add is "Hebrews 13:17 Obey those who rule over you, and be submissive, for they watch out for your souls, as those who must give account..." I believe if you chose to fellowship with one perticular body of believers ( we all should, only in really allowing others to know us can we mature spiritually ) that we must and are commanded to submit to the leadership of that body. Now as far as membership classes and being an official member of that body doesn't really mean much, but if that is there practice, and the leadership asks you to than you should obey if you chose to continue attendance there. However it is your choice where you fellowship, and there are plenty of churches that do not require membership. | ||||||

Thank you for the very kind words, they truely comforted me. It's good to hear that I have a target on my back, ( that just sounds strange to say ) it lets me know that at least I'm considered worthy of being attacked. while I wright this it occures to me that if a none believer were to read this they would really think were wierd, well the Bible does say were peculier, close enough... But seriously, it's often easy for me to feel like it's all just random bad luck and to lose sight of the fact that I'm at war with a real enemy, and yea, some of it is just part of life but there is plenty of outright enemy attacks as well. Anyways thank you for taking the time to respond to my post. Love, Mike |

Angel, Thank for the input. A friend sent me this, thought you might like it, " Failure is hard to recognize when it's wearing it's success hat it bought at the 'world' store,"... No real point there, just something to ponder. Love, Mike |

SignmanBob and joshua 2422, Thank you both for your words of encouragement and prayers. Sometimes in our walks all we can do is lean on Christ and our fellow christian brothers and sisters for help. I have learned that Christ often helps me through other christians and in this case you were both priveledged with being his hands and voice. I pray that God will bless you for this, and I thank you. On another note I have tomarrow afternoon off, so I will re-read Micah ch.1 and post a question, look for that post titled "Micah ch.1"... God bless, Mike |

Mike here... Hey I know I suggested doing a Bible study, so I thought I might let everyone know I haven't dropped the ball on that I have just been working tons of hours at work. while I'm writing though maybe some people could right in with some words of encouragement. Like I said I have been working tons, plus of course my boss has been, well bossy! then on top of all that I'm a young man and it seems like women have been coming out of the woodwork and making there intentions perfectly clear ( purely physical )... No I haven't given in, gut it is really wearing on me. So prayers, words of encouragment, or SCRIPTURES would be greatly appreciated. Thank you all In love Mike |

Angel I totally agree that yoou always need to study individual portions of the Bible in the light of the rest of the Bible, however I have found sometimes some historical info can be benificial to gaining additional understanding of some scriptures, and sometimes you have to look in different books of the Bible just to gain a context for a specific scripture... Anyways, lets just do it and we can deal with issues as they arise, otheerwise we will spend a week just triing to figure out how it should be done. In other words I'm excited to dive in and and sink my teeth into some meat of the Word...... Much love Mike |

searcher56, WOW, just checked out those site, and I must say, if you cant find what you looking for betwean(how do spell that?) those two site your probly looking for the wrong stuff, thanks... I also like biblegateway.com in the study tools you can find almost every study tool imaginable. To respond to the first part of your note, I do read the Bible in several different translations prayerfuly, and the Lord is always speaking to me through the Word, butt... And I know this is out of context but "we see in part"..., what I was hoping is that we would ALL put our individual parts together and see if we could get a moore complete picture, and talking with others about the Bible is always more fun. Anywho I'll read it a couple of more times and see if I can find some really good stuff for us to dive into. Love you all Mike |

Hi, Angel! I totally agree with what you said, and I am looking forward to some the knowledge I can gain from a Bible study on the forum. Ray recamended a study starting in Micah, sounds great, short book and it will test the feasability of a Bible study in this type of format, as well as give us a chance to iron out any bugs in the actuall format. So with that said unless someone has another suggestion lets read the book over the next day or two and then post questions under the heading "Micah Bible study"... Love, Mike |

14 | what about a Bible study??? | Bible general Archive 2 | strts | 122503 | ||
Thank you both for your responces, and I agree with both. I have read the OT many times and there are HUGE portions that leave me scratching my head at best... I was thinking possibly looking into the minor and major prophets, no little task. It seems that MOST of the stuff in these books just completely baffles me, mainly who were they speaking to, why, what was going on....... If someone has a good idea of where to start? I was thinking some personal reading maybe 1-3 chapters and then Q and A.... In love Mike |

15 | what about a Bible study??? | Not Specified | strts | 122495 | ||
I enjoy visiting this site and am amazed at the scriptural knowledge that many posses, however I am upset that many times it seems that this site should be renamed Bibleargument.com instead... I can't count the number of times toungues has been discussed and it seems to me that it has never been edifing exhorting(well maybe in its loosest translation) or comforting... I wonder if it would be possible to actually go through the Bible and study it, maybe even starting at the beggining. I don't think I have ever been in the company of so many with sooooo much knowledge and so willing to share it. I don't know how a bible study like this could be organized, but would greatly appreciate anyones imput who would be willing to participate. in love Mike |

Duhhh! (just kidding:) But yes you are right, I am triing to do too much... I do need to serve at my home church so that my church and I may grow together, it's just not sinking in with the other pastor, and I don't waant to just stop going. I love the other pastor and enjoy fellowshiping with him, I just don't know how to respond without offending him anymore, he seems to take it as an attack on his ministry ( to clarify he does understand it is really Christ's ministry). | ||||||

If you want to be a little more specific to the time period of the people who will not pass away before all thing are fulfilled matt. 24:34 refer to matt. 24:15... I do not believe this happened before the temple was destroyd, and the temple is not yet rebuilt, so draw your own conclusions from the obove scripture. | ||||||

Thank you ALL very much for your imput. Let me clarify my question. My Pastor is most concearned with making deciples and does not believe there is anything wrong with the other ministry, just that I can grow better by not dividing my energy too much (I agree). The other ministry is young and there and in being young is showing some imiturity. I enjoy attending the other ministry, but being pressured to be in leadership when I have already stated that I am committed to another ministry is wearing on me. I guess my real question is how to show humility and love to the other pastor when he is weak and not tear him down. As I said his ministry is young and and he is struggling with where it is, and my utmost concearn is to build him up in his weakness. Anyways I feel like I am just venting my frustation at this point, but anyones feedbak would be appreciated. Thank you! | ||||||
