1 | God bless you Christmas and in 2017 | Eccl 7:1 | justme | 244038 | ||
I want to wish all my dear brothers and sisters in Christ a very wonderful Christmas. We who have asked Jesus Christ to be our LORD and have become FOLLOWERS of Jesus Christ have the greatest reason to know what the TRUE meaning of Christmas really is. The entry of our Saviour into the world as a fully human and fully God man. Jesus is completely aware of all we endure while on this temporary journey on Earth. How wonderful to know jesus knows our sorrows, pain, and joy, and He relates to us totally. For those who have shown such patients with me and my misspelling, bad grammar, and even when I chase rabbits, I say thank you. For those who have prayed for my health in cancer, blood clots, and several surgeries I again say you are blessed. What I am trying to say is I love you all, and i really do mean have a wonderful Christmas. I am asking the Father to watch over you all that have been a part of the SBF. I say may God bless you even more this coming year. Please join with me and asking God to protect our country and to be close to our new president, Donald Trump, and may God watch over the believers in our country and the rest of the World. I also pray that Jesus might come soon. I sincerely appreciate two brothers who have been a blessing to me, Doc and EdB who have been with the SBF from the first. God bless you all. Justme (Michael Fahrer) |

2 | Isn't it time to say good night? | Bible general | justme | 244005 | ||
There is very little participation in and on the Study Bible Forum now. Mainly the dialogue going on is basically between two long time members. At this dialogue is not very Christ like. IMO the Study Bible Forum has out lived its usefulness. I would encourage those in charge of the Study Bible Forum to seriously consider that the life of the Study Bible forum has reached its end. For close to twenty years many of us have been loyal in our service to the Study Bible forum. Therefore it would be a shame to see the forum we all have worked and loved suffer any longer with just two or three remaining to keep it alive. For Lockman who has been so faithful and gracious to allow the Study Bible Forum all these years I say THANK YOU. I sincerely believe its now time to shut off the lights and close the doors. Merry Christmas to all, I hope its Good Night. December, seventeen, two thousand and siteenth. Justme |

5 | Will you please pray? | Bible general | justme | 243858 | ||
How many of you are like me? I have prayed that the United States would turn from the liberal agenda of same sex marriage, abortion, and the immorality out nations leadership was taken our country down that steep slope. I have like many Christians I know have prayed, and asked the LORD to please change the direction our country was going. In all honesty I doubted that God would have Mercy on the United States, and a change would occur. Even with me honestly asking the LORD for His help, I was afraid it was too late and the US had so turned againgt the Lord He would allow further destruction, because many had turned against the LORD I believe if we as His Followers will continue to pray for our new President Trump, and those elected to serve, we will continue to see the LORDs forgiveness and restoration. I thank the LORD for His SON JESUS CHRIST. I ask you and those who read this to pray for all those elected, and that we commit our selves to pray for those who do not know Jesus, and especially that those who are followers of Jesus will be a light to those around them. I thank God for His Mercy upon our Country. Will you please pray for our leaders? |

6 | Do demons exist today? | Bible general | justme | 243768 | ||
Demons. Jesus dealt with Demons. Some say there are no more now in our church age. I say yes the demons are active and present to day. I have never, not once heard a sermon on "demons" in my 60 years as a Christ follower. Why are demons not brought out in sermons and how to make them leave? I an totally convinced by Scripture followers of Christ can only be oppressed, not possessed by Demons. So in what ways do Demons oppress Christians? can you give examples where you think someone was openly possessed by a demon. Clearly they could not be a Christian, so who would you think of? I would say Hitler would be one. |

7 | As Christians should we openly support? | Rom 13:1 | justme | 243771 | ||
Every four years the election of a President brings all kinds of view points. I have yet to see one where good meaning Christians done stand on opposite ends saying Jesus is on this side and not yours. The 2016 year election is even more so than other years. Liberty Universities president Dr. fawell has come out and stated who he supports for President. There have been a larger number of well known Christian Leaders who have also come out to cast their support for the same person as dr. Fallwell. This has me bewildered, as the person they are backing seems to be questionable in regards to their faith in Christ being genuine. With recent revelations about the person these Christian leaders are supporting in him having some serious character flaws that bring the genuineness of his faith, this seems to his supporters did not really know the person they stood behind. Now comes the sticky wicket. When we as Christians give political support, aren't we saying as Christians we feel this person has the things we think a Christian should have? For me I personally would rather say I stand for the Party which supports a pro life position, rather than casting my open support for a person who may come out with serious questionable character and moral flaws. When we as a Christian leaders place our open support for anything that could cause shame to the name of Christ, I believe it behooves at least me, to be very careful in what, who or anything I openly support saying as a Christian I approve anything. I am keenly aware of the many serious issues this Presidential has tied to it. I get how the next persons going to the Supreme Court are dependent on who gets elected as the President. I also see how Christians supporting both persons running have attacked each other, all using the word "Christian" as if God were on their side. Once again even though these are just working class people with not much influence they too are using Christ as proof of what seems to me as Christ is backing the person I support. Here is my question; as a citizen and Christ follower just how much written and vocal support should we give? When is it acceptable to lend our faith in Christ to support a person running for any public office? Also if you are running for office is it wise to openly say you are a Christian when running for office. Should leaders in places of leadership, like a University come out and use your position to support a person running for election? As a side note, I believe God will give the United States the person he feels will accomplish His will. Justme |

8 | Titus 1:8 the word "holy"? | Titus 1:8 | justme | 243694 | ||
Titus 1:8. In the list of what an Overseer must be the Greek text says "Holy" right after the word "just". The NASB the word "HOLY" is not there. I wanted to know what other versions either included the word "Holy" or left it out. Of the most commonly used and a few not so common versions my research was a little confusing. The KJV and the NASB left out "Holy", but the HCSB, ESV, NIV, and the 1611 KJV and the NKJV had the word "Holy. And to add to my wonder, the American Standard Version which the NASB is based on has the word "Holy'. But the KJV of 1778 and the NASB of 1960, and the Updated NASB does not have the word "Holy". I wonder if anyone has some idea as to why when the Greek has the word "Holy", yet some versions have left it out? If the Greek did not have the word "Holy" this would be understandable, but its there. |

9 | Are we to bless Israel? | NT general | justme | 243628 | ||
The Jews of today living in Israel, are they seem by God as His special people? Are we today to bless them as the promise in the OT that if we bless them God will bless us? I hear this a good much of the time on some Christian radio prograns. I am concerned as if anyone, including the Jews reject Jesus as their LORD they too will go to hell if they reject Christ.

10 | The right Bible for you? | Bible general | justme | 243571 | ||
In a recent question I began to question just what do Christians really know about the version of the Bible they are reading? For example the newest NIV (after 1985 version) is a mixture of the Todays NIV and the NIV making it a gender neutral, version which is a very liberal version of the Bible. The ESV is really a tweaking of RSV Bible. Bothe of these Bible fit well into the more liberal Denominations, and pastors. All to often I have encountered believers who are unaware of what the words "liberal", "gender natural", "Formal Equivalence", "Dynamic or Functional Equivalence", and the newest description "Optimal Equivalence" and finally what a "Paraphrased" The Message is one such paraphrased Bible. All to often people have no idea what kind of Bible they want. I have been friends with a Christian Book store owner. He has said many came into his store and really having no idea what translation of the Bible they wanted, if they wanted a Study Bible, or were surprised at the cost of Bibles. By far the most popular Bible was the NIV, even when he tried to show how much better the NASB, and some other translations were. Sadly the Bible that gets the most advertisement in Christian magazines is the NIV. ( as a side note I have seen the NASB more recently). I wondered and asked him what profit he made form his bookstore annually and he said he made less than 2 percent profit. the reason is people buy from Amazon, which sells more pornography than all other stores combined. He told me that such places buy huge amounts of Bible they can sell them cheaper than he bought them for. Will the Local Christian Book store be able to survive in the next ten years? By the way my friend lost almost seventy-five thousand dollars in ten years and went out of business last year. What as Christians should we do? Buy from a national branded book store like Life Way, Family Book stores, Lemstone, or other local book store that has Bibles. Unless Christians begin to support especially local Christian Bookstores they may well go the way of so many stores that once were but no more. The Bible I highly and completely recommend with no hesitation is the NASb and close to that is the Holman Christian Standard Bible. Why? they are Developed and translated by all Christian people who saw the Bible as God's inspired Word, Inerrant in the original manuscripts. Because they started with the right foundation the Bible translation the finished with is solidly dependable and trustworthy. my last word is be careful when selecting your next Bible. justme |

11 | The SBF what does it need to do? | Bible general | justme | 243448 | ||
I am going to be bold here. The SBF has very few who post any more. We have prayed about this for sometime. I would like to open this up to suggestions as to what do you think the SBF needs to do to be alive and active once again. Be honest and even pray before you post. Lockman has dome a lot to keep the SBF up all these years. Now its time for us who are earnest about keeping the SBF relevant and a place we can be open with our questions and concerns about the Bible and our growth as Christians. Now its your turn what do we need to hear? |

12 | Fear of praying in public out loud? | John 11:42 | justme | 243435 | ||
Prayer is as important as reading the Bible. Yet I see few willing to close a Sunday Class in prayer. the same is true in other areas as well. Why are you personally reluctant to pray out loud in a church setting? If your has no issue to pray out loud please do not answer this. | ||||||

14 | Biblical reasons for divorce? | 1 Cor 7:15 | justme | 243423 | ||
Jesus said Divorce was allowed for sexual unfaithfulness, meaning adultery. Does anyone believe there are biblical reasons besides adultery, our church has two couples divorcing saying there are other biblical reasons, what could that be. scripture proof only please. | ||||||
15 | Protecting the Unborn? | Ex 20:13 | justme | 243427 | ||
The protection of children in the womb, has become an overlooked part of this presidential election. There have been many who dislike the Republican who is running. I have struggled and been attacked for standing with the Party solely for the reason of protecting unborn children. Can anyone tell me how to view this any other way? |

16 | Hyper calvinism and Backsliding? | Bible general | justme | 243156 | ||
I know what Calvinism is, but can you please tell me what Hyper-Calvinism is, and what the big difference is? I have heard that some SB seminaries are teaching mainly Calvinism. I find some areas I agree with and some I do not. I believe a Christian can backslide. I have been told there is no such belief in backsliding for those who accept Calvinism. Any thoughts? | ||||||
17 | Free will, or ? | Rom 9:16 | justme | 243111 | ||
Calvinists have used Romans 9 as one of several proof texts. Some who are not as dogmatic use Romans 10 as a reason to say that this chapter is where free will enters into the debate. I am my self wondering just how deeply this really matters. I have tried to side step the debate on being called, which to me means after a person makes the choice to become a loyal follower of Christ Jesus. It seems to me the strong Calvinist is too strong. Can someone help me understand why free will is not free will as it seems to me Calvinists are saying? justme |

19 | WAR ROOM (prayer room)? | Bible general | justme | 243058 | ||
The movie WAR ROOM is an excellent tool for encouraging personal prayer. I personally have taken steps to reach out to family and friends to make a prayer room. I wonder where do you go to be in a special place to regularly pray? If so would you mind sharing it. I do not consider sharing a point of braging, but so we each might think of better ways to pray. Have you found a special book besides the Bible that encourages prayer? |
