Dear Cheri. I hope you will reconsider, there is much that you can learn here at SBF and your presence here is welcome. As to the petition? Well, why don't you just post the link, and let the Holy Spirit do the rest, Instead of funneling everyone through your personal email? I am sure that no-one minds you posting something as important as this issue is, but, please remember that SBF is not a social club or chat-room; directing everyone through your email may not be the best way to get information to people. God bless John |

3 | Who are the Nicolaitanes? | Bible general Archive 4 | stjohn | 195235 | ||
Hi Mickael, The church at Ephesus (Revelation 2:6) is commended for hating the "deeds" of the Nicolaitanes, and the church of Pergamos is blamed for having them who hold their "doctrines" (15). They were seemingly a class of professing Christians, who sought to introduce into the church a false freedom or licentiousness, thus abusing Paul's doctrine of grace (comp. 2 Peter 2:15, 16, 19), and were probably identical with those who held the doctrine of Baalam.

5 | Ecclesiastes, Matthew, NOW WHAT? | Bible general Archive 4 | stjohn | 195770 | ||
Dear Bebop, Welcome. We cannot know for sure which Book is best for you to read first, but you say that you are happy so far, and I thank God that he is blessing you. After you have read Matthew though, you may want to simply go to Genesis and switch back and forth from the OT to the NT, it's a good way to see how the Bible (God's Word) gives us the big picture of God's message to us. Ask God to give you the wisdom of understanding, but don't expect to understand it all, Just hold tightly to what He does give you, like the precious gift that it is. May God bless you in your studies and open your eyes to the truth of His Holy Word. I hope there are others that also give you some advice on how to study the Bible. God bless John |

8 | Why God killed boys for teasing Elisha | Bible general Archive 4 | stjohn | 195933 | ||
Hi Beau, Understanding the character of God is, of the highest order in this case. God does NOT kill innocent children. It is my understanding that in the hebrew the word that is translated for children, actually is a term that means "young men" and you can be certain that they were accountable for their actions. In mocking God's prophet, they were actually, mocking God! Gal 6:7 Do not be deceived, God is not mocked; for whatever a man sows, this he will also reap. God bless John |

9 | A prophet | Bible general Archive 4 | stjohn | 196054 | ||
Hi Sister Azure, Interesting question; I think maybe they [the false prophets] were just doing what 'false' prophets do, attacking the true Word of God, and going with their own agenda. As to their status, it seems that most, if not all the prophets of God, in all times, faced great difficulty and persecution, from those that did not choose to believe the Word of God. Just my one cent ;-) God bless John |

10 | many are called but only few are chosen | Bible general Archive 4 | stjohn | 196089 | ||
Dear st, "many are called but only few are chosen" Does not imply that we don't have free will, that is, in order to answer a call one must make a choice to answer, or not to answer, it does imply, however, that few answer with sincerity of heart, therefor, few are chosen. God bless John |

11 | what is free grace | Bible general Archive 4 | stjohn | 196155 | ||
Hi Brenda Well, if it were not free, it wouldn't be grace. By its definition grace is free. It's like this, suppose you are a murderer, you are caught red handed, found guilty and sentenced to death, and you deserve it. But instead of the sentence being carried out, the executioner says you can live. Now thats mercy. But then, inexplicably, he brings you home to live in his house to be one of his children, and gives you gifts! Now thats grace! And, it's free! Thats sort of what God does for us, salvation is the free gift of God, by His grace. |

Hi Brenda, Yes, 'humanity', is on the receiving end of it! If we will accept it by believing in Jesus, and what He has done for us on the Cross of Christ. God bless John |

Hello 2513 Welcome, Personally, I would pray and ask God to open doors, and, I don't mean to sound flip, but then I would open the help wanted section of the local news paper. Maybe others will have some encouraging verses for you. I pray that God will open your eyes to the truth of His word and show that it is not so much how many zeros are in our paycheck, but wether we regard the paycheck as ours, or God's. I recall reading about someone saying to a very successful business man that, he was just "lucky" to have had so many opportunities to reap a profit. The man replied simply, yes, but it seems, the harder I work, the luckier I get! God bless john |

18 | I can do all things Phill.4:13 | Bible general Archive 4 | stjohn | 196438 | ||
Hello Faridah, A warm welcome to the forum! I would like also to welcome you to the family of Christians, who can honestly say that we don't measure up to the kind of prayer-life that we should. I don't believe that anyone who calls themselves Christian, can say that they spend enough time with God, we all, if we are honest, feel inadequate before God. May I say, your call for help, is heard, and will be answered, if you direct it to Him who is adequate. When the Apostles would look for our Lord they would most often find Him praying to the Father. Who of us can say that we come even close to that kind of prayer-life? Be encouraged, that you know that you need Him, and you at lest have a desire to know Him better. Keep praying, and as little as that may be, or as much as that may be, we all know, it will never be enough to assuage our feeling that it, just isn't enough, to give Him the thanks that He really deserves, for what He has done for us. Be blessed my Sister! When I think of you, I will pray for you. God bless John |

20 | difference between the soul and spirit? | Bible general Archive 4 | stjohn | 196773 | ||
Hi bigpinky, Welcome to the forum! Thats a very good question! I'm not sure I understand the difference, very well, but I'll take a shot. The line between Soul and Spirit is a hazy one indeed: Soul; is that part of us that is our consciousness, our wants/desires, our feelings, our very thoughts, that which we perceive as, ‘self’, is our soul, it has been called, the seat of appetite. Spirit; sometimes is used to mean breath, indicating, that which is vital to life, also sometimes used in describing a tendency toward a particular behavior, (i.e. he has a lying spirit, a leaning toward, or an untruthfulness or unfaithfulness in spirt). Spirit and soul are often both looked at as, that part of man that is unseen and sentient, or conscious, or aware of the fact that we are alive. I hope that helps. Gods bless John |
