1 | why is masterbation a sin. | Bible general Archive 1 | farout | 5217 | ||
Your qqqquestion is worded to give the opinion that you assume that self gratifaction is a sin. Why do you think it is. Do you think God created you with a way to sexually relieve yourself and that that is wrong? If you are inot looking at nasty pictures then it is wrong. But when you are think about that this is a gift, and can control you thought it is healthy and goog. | ||||||
2 | What is the best version of the Bible? | Bible general Archive 1 | farout | 5219 | ||
The answer has a lot do with your educational level and how much Bible study you have done. Your understanding of how Scripture came about have a lot to do with selecting a BIBLE. All Bibles are translated for a grade level of reading. KJV is grade 12 to 14. NIV is 6th to 8th NASB is 8 to 10th. This is my opinion only. Also the translators Theology and understanding of interperation is a huge factor. RSV, and NRSV are neo-orthodox, liberal translation usually associated with the vied that there may be errors that do noteffect the central message of the BIBLE. The NIV translated thought per thought as accuratly as possible and is very good.The NASB is a literal word for word and their conviction is every word is God Breathed and as penned in the orignal is perfect and without any errors. NIV believes the same as well.I personally use both the NIV and updated NASB STUDY BIBLES by Zondervan Publishers. Most of my Seminary Proffessors used either RSV, or the NIV., and a few the NASB. All these have the plan of salvation and their differences are generally noticed by Bible students that have struggled in word study, so as to be able to defend theeir belief in what version they perfere. I would encourage you to go to a knowledgable Book store keeper who will take the time and help you see the differences for yourself. Perhaps you Pastor od go to a Near by Seminary and talk with aa OT or NT proffessor. Just afoot bobded leather wares our fast. Genuine leather lasts decades, and is well worth the extra money your investing |

5 | dinasaurs? did they exist? | Bible general Archive 1 | farout | 38789 | ||
There is no doubt that they existed. We have their boned. We also have in Arizona a place where mans footprints are right nest to these created big relics. In the Grand Canyon fossils ate found not according to what eveolutionists clain. A recent non-christian thought on creation is INTELLEGENT DESIGN which I have only heard about on Christian radio. So you might find a book on it. When these animals lived is only a guess. I was not there contrary to my childrens thinking, I am not old as dirt. I think they died after the flood. The earth had changed axis and climate was most assuredly different. However all this points to a wonderful creator which made animals and nam with many simularities. Lungs, reproduction, blood, and on and on. I would suggest Creation Instute in I think Riverside Cailf. They have very fine materials. As for millions of years I do not think so, but I was not there as I said. Hope this helps. | ||||||
6 | what is the state of the dead in Christ? | Bible general Archive 1 | farout | 39706 | ||
Hebrews 9:27. I believe that as paul said to be absent from the body is to be in thepresents of the Lord. We are a spirit that resides in a body. This has been a question that I have struggled for more than ten years. and with prayer and much study I beleive at death we are instantly into the presents of Christ. My human sinful nature can not realy understand this, but the spiritual part of me knows. Hope this give you some food for thought. | ||||||
7 | What is ok in a premarital relationship? | Bible general Archive 1 | farout | 39711 | ||
Maybe a better way to ask this is what is expected in a relationship before marriage. Purity, respect, protecting each others christian witness. You are asking about a relationship not engagement. In engagement there is even more responsibilities. Each step in the area of physical closness, the next step is easier, and many christians make some lifetime mistakes. It is true God forgives, but we still suffer the price for not following His word. WWJD is still the best. | ||||||
8 | Jesus is our Father, who is our Mother? | Bible general Archive 1 | farout | 40489 | ||
The God the Father Son, and Holy Spirit are the three in one. This is a subject that many, many, many, have spoke on, written on, and there are endless examples to try and explain the three in one. Ultimately it comes down to having faith to believe what the Bible says. God is not male or female. God in complete. Some have said the Holy Spirit is more feminine nurturing kind of qualities. So God is totally complete to accomplish what ever are the plans God has. Hope this helps a little. God bless, farout |

11 | Need Advice... to change Church to be a | Bible general Archive 1 | farout | 47303 | ||
Dear Grace7044: You do not say what it is that you are unhappy about. Why did you start going there in the first place? What led you to believe this was where God wanted you to be back at the first? I would say if there is unsound doctrine or unbiblical teaching, then by all means leave, but tell the pastor why you are leaving. Perhaps it is because there is no one in your age group and you feel out of place. Again I would make sure the pastor knew why you want to look for greener pastures. I would leave with kindness and love, so nothing hampers your guidence in finding the Lords Place for you. Maybe you are being valled to see a need at the church you now attend? Pray about it, and then act. Peace, farout |

12 | Is it wrong to use condoms? advise | Bible general Archive 1 | farout | 47316 | ||
Dear Effie: After reading you question, I too learned how to use the QUICK SEARCH, and I have used the forum for about a year. So it is never to late to learn something. After reading the QUICK SEARCH answer on condoms, which was quite good, I would like to add something for think tank. My wife and I have been married for almost thirty four years. We have had three daughters ages 15, 22, 32, and one son age 28. Our last daughter was born when my wife was 37, and I was 42. Our children are rather spaced out. I jokingly say it took me that long to recover between each one. I was there for the last three in the delivery room. Except our second had some complecations amd I was asked to step outside. However for the last two I was ther when the first sign of their had showed. I will treasure those times forever. I also will say if I were a woman I would never get pregnant! Birth is painful and how women do it is amazing to me. Over the years we used the IUD in ignorance, the pill for a very short time, and the Spounge for several years, and finally birth control foam. We used that for many years. But it must be used correctly and consistantly. However that applys to any method. Condoms have a high failure rate for many reasons, and they are costly. Some couples feel that condoms interfer with a certian closeness. All birth control interfers with fertilization, and prevents implantation of the zigoat. For us we felt surgical birth control for either of was not right. For us that so interfered with the chance that God might have something else in His will, that we might interfer with. For us it was our last daughter, she has been a blessing beyond words. I will be 62, when she turns 20. I have been mistaken for her grandpa a couple of times and we have taken care of that instantly. That has been the fun humoris times. She keeps us young ond on the go. She is an aunt to a nice three years younger than she. Many places in the world have only the most prinative methods of birth control, at high failure rates. I would assume in Mary and Joseph life after Jesus they too had to deal with this issue as well. I am convienced that the Lord does supply if we are people of faith. I am equally sure that what ever you and your husband decide to do, should be a matter of viewing your health. I think it is unhealthy for you to have a baby one right after the other. Perhaps even dangerous, and deffinately is a health risk. Where would you husband be if you passed on, with three small children? There is a natural birth control based on the time of ovulation, and checking mucus. I do not know a lot about it but there is a group of women that have these books in any large book store. Not only that but a trip for both of you to your OBGYN Doctor with you husband, might be a good place to get all the current information. I do know Depo Povara is something my work at the Crisis Pregnancy Center found caused long lasting problems. I admire your courage to ask your question. I have tried to be open obout our sexual love life, and hope this will not only help you but others as well. Love your children, and never neglect the love between you and your husband, that love should be first, so the family will stay intact as God intended. God Bless you and your family. Peace, farout |

17 | need to know the order the bible was wri | OT general | farout | 40170 | ||
Hi Alice. What seems like an easy question is not. There are Bible scholars who have differing opinions on dating books and even the authors. Much of the diversity come in how one understands scripture. There is one of many Theories called the J E P D. This theory is one which some scholars believe more than one author wrote the book of Genesis. Still yet, there is the idea that three authors who wrote Isaiah. Daniel is a book that has some problems dating it. Some scholars say it was an date of early writing, and others say a much later date. So this makes it hard to have a universal set dating that most would agrre on. In my humble non argumentive position, I believe the Bible is God's onehundred percent inspired without error as originally written. I believe the Bible is infallible. I consider my view of scripture is not that of neo-orthodox. I believe Moses wrote Genesis. I believe Isaiah wrote the whole book. I am conservative, and take a high view litteralism. This is my idea; how a person believes the begining, is how you will understand the end of the Bible, and that determines how you believe the rest of the books in the Bible. I hope I have helped to explain how a complex a simple question can be. There are Bibles in Christian Book stores that have the bible assemblied in how that person thinks the order of the books were written. Again it is how they believe which reflects a conservative or liberal order that would be listed as author thinks. Perhaps the most important thing is for you to know you can trust every word in Holy Scripture. God Bless, farout |

18 | "Once Saved Always Saved" | NT general Archive 1 | farout | 8193 | ||
Friend in Christ: I wonder sometimes if the question is worded wrong. If the question is how little faith will get me to heaven that is a very serious flaw. There is faith, and Saving Faith. Faith that falters had a flaw from the begining. I spend little effort trying to convience someone they are saved. I say do you want to make sure and live that comittment to Christ from now on? John 10:10 assures no one (not even you) can remove yourself from the seal that Christ has put on you with the Holy Spirit that resides in you from the moment you are born again. Repentance is proof positive that Christ has become you LORD! Paul says don't look back, press on, keep on trusting! Faith and being saved is a continueous action, not just a prayer repeated and that is your ticket to heaven. I hope this helps you. I have resteled with this for many years and pray this stimulates you to grow in prayer, and reading God's Word. | ||||||
19 | Feeling overwhelmed and need direction. | NT general Archive 1 | farout | 30504 | ||
Dear Overwhelmed: Some one has said "The renewal of the inner person becoming Christ like is not accomplished in a moment, but a lifetime!" This is such a key point in Christian growth. May I share my personal experence. I believe that one makes the choice to make Christ LORD or boss if you will. This is not a thought process alone but a matter of the heart and mind choosing to follow Jesus and communicating with Jesus by prayer. For me prayer has been a supreme act of faith, as many times feelings have nothing to do with how our prayers are answered. So prayer,and a guided Bible study course for new Christians is a must, and belonging to a body of believers are all esential. If you do not have a daily feeding of your spiritual food(prayer and Bible study) your growth will be stunted. Many people start out with the excitement you have, but do not grow and remain a carnal baby Christian. Ask your pastor for some materials for new Christians, if you don't have a Bible, get a New American Standard Bible or a New International Version Bible. May I suggest you start with St. John. Read a Chapter at least once a day. I hope this helps. The walk of faith in Christ is by no means an easy walk. Satan will try everything to discourage you as long as you live. So my friend and fellow pilgram fight a good fight and become as close to Jesus as you possibly can. Never give in or up to the world, you belong to the King of Kings and LORD of lords. Bless you my friend. |

20 | Can faith alone without work save you? | NT general Archive 1 | farout | 38507 | ||
Oh Dear friend: You can praise the Lord for Martin Luther of old. While a monk he fought and groped with was it works and faith. While Luther was studing Romans 1 verse 17 he was set free! Faith plus nothing but Jesus Christ equaled salvation! How wonderful, how merceifull. That was the thesis he posted on the Wittenburg door. This was a very vital change in thinking from selling indulgences for sins. A grate bool is HERE I STAND A Life of Martin Luther by Roland Bainton, Abimgton-Cokesbury Press. I think it was written about 1948. Copies you would most like find in a Good Christian Library or Seminary. Perhaps a used book store, but they are ware and go for 40 dollars. This book is well worth it. You will learn why you are not a Catholic, whis I consider vital. Good question, God Bless | ||||||
