5 | 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 |

6 | 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 |

10 | NIV comments? | Psalm | farout | 46302 | ||
Dear Brother 2ndsamuel22: After reading the other comments made by some Forum members for whom I consider to be quite knowledgeable, and respect very much, I would like to make a few comments. We live in such a fanstic time, we have so much biblical material at our finger tips, oh how blessed we are. First let me say that most Christians, according to poles done by Zondervan Publishing House, in the early nineteen eighties, less than ten percent of all christians read the Bible on a daily basis. Wow, that's pretty sad. over fifty percent of all christians say they never read the Bible. Now that is a rude awakening that says much about christian nuture. Second, with all the versions and translations that are out in english, there is no excuse for anyone who says they are christian not read the Bible! Thirdly, with a few rare exceptions of Bibles made by cults, all Bibles can lead people to the saving faith of Jesus Christ. There are many excellent Bibles, and each has it's own bias and belief in the authority of the Scriptures. Some are quite liberal and see the Bible as good reading, but not more than that. Other Bibles are coming from the view Scripture is the very Word of God. That the Bible as orignally penned was perfect, with error. That is my point of belief as well. Fourth, there in the end paragraph of the NIV in the PREFACE it saya "Like all translations of the Bible, made as they are by imperfect man, this one undoubtedly falls short of its goals...." I would add that anytime you take something being translated from one language to another it always creates some difficulties to make the translation match exactly. There is no way to read exactly what the Bible says word for word unless you read Hebrew and Greek. So we depend on Biblical language schollars to translate these words into english with guidance from the Holy Spirit as best they can. Fifth, The best Bible is the one you will read. I have many versions, and translations. I rread the NIV and the NASB, and at times when I find a passage seems slightly different I do a word by word study. I especially enjoy the Charles B. Williams THE NEW TESTAMENT IN THE LANGUAGE OF THE PEOPLE. The updated NASB is the Bible I use as my bread and butter of word for word. The NASB Study Bible is excellent. I also use the LIFE APPLICATION NIV STUDY BIBLE. Added to my Bibles I have some with no notes just pure scripture. I wand to did out the gold for myself. In more liberal higher education Seminaries use the Revised Standard Version. The Oxford edition is used much of the time. I find it interesting, but again the translators had a lower view of scriptures authority. I am not much of a King James fan, even though I was raised on it and memorized many verses from it. I do not engage in debate over if the King James is the best. For me it is more important that one is in the Word of God, and growing in faith, and renewing our minds. Sixth, When I was at the Christian Book store recently, I spent some time looking at the many Bibles there were. Bibles for children, teenagers, singles, Fathers, Mothers, and so many aimed at special ways to study the Bible. I am amazed at how all these publishers can ever brake even on th cost to come up with so many different Bibles. I am not saying this is bad, but at what point do we need say I al I need is the pure Word of God? Especially if so few really read the Bible? I would say that the NIV as many other Bibles is not perfect. But it is a good Bible, and I enjoy it very much. Peace, farout |

11 | Children/Baby baptism Scripture? | Mark 16:16 | farout | 46216 | ||
Some churches baptize children by sprinkeling them, as a way of what I would call a baby dedication. Some would say they are joined into the body of Christ. Some protestant more "higher" churches would be in this belief. Generally most Baptist would say baptism is for those who have come to know Christ as LORD and want to be obediant and be baptized. Now here again there are differences some sprinkel and others really put the person benieth the water. For me, I find no scripture that says we are to baptize anyone other than one that has come to a saving faith in Christ. I say again others would not agree, but That is my belief. | ||||||
12 | "Oliver Twist" Christians? | 2 Tim 3:16 | farout | 45178 | ||
Brother Hank: I admire your thinking, and study of the WORD. For some "more" means feed me, feed me. Like newly hatched birds beg for chewed up food that needs only to be swallowed. We live in a time when most of read at a seventh grade level, if that. I think that is why talking books are so popular. At one time I worked for Zondervan Book of Life. This was a wonderful family Bible reading program. The problem was and still is families do not spend much time as a family together. Mom and dad are not good readers, and so family Bible reading is almost a thing of the past. Our family our library has more than two thousand books, that are indepth Bible study ore related materials. I think reading renews our nind and spirit, and with out the personal experience of reading and study of the Bible, and prayer seeking Gods direction, many will constantly seeking "special, tailor-made revelation". I have visited in many christian homes that do not have even have a Exhaustive Concordance! Most nothing about a concordance, much less how to use one. How can any christian expect to grow or have any revelation except from studing the Word? What would men of the past like Tyndal, or Martin Luther, Spurgon, Brunner, Pentecost, or so many other schollars, who have left us such wonderful work, if they were as believers are today? For me there is nothing like reading the words of biblical schollars, and having it to recall over and over. Reading is a gift from the Lord I shall ever be thankful for. I need not ask for special signs and wonders, I have Gods perfect Word, which the Holy Spirit uses to guide, and correct me. I am so glad I saw your question. God bless you! Peace, farout |

13 | how does the Bible help us? | 2 Tim 3:16 | farout | 45168 | ||
Dear Miriam: I saw in the personal profile you have just joined today ! May I suggest you fill it out so we know more about what spiritual level you are at, so the answer is not above your spiritual understanding. So...Timothy 3:16 is a good place to start. If you have ever bought a new car in the glove box there is a OWNERS MANUAL, right? If you buy a used automible someone might of been nice and left it there for you. That book tells you just about everything you need to know about changing a tire, fuse sizes and locations and how often to change oil, and when to replace timing belts, filters and all that important information. Now, you do not have to read it, and more than likely it will be to your disadvantage and you will pay in the end for not following the Manual. Agree? The Bible is our owners manual given by God to us. I am over simplifing this, but basicly the Bible is our Road map for life now, and for eternity. Maybe if you read St. John the fourth book in the New Testament this would be so very helpful to you. I know reading this will help you in answering your question. God Bless you. Peace, farout |

14 | Power of the Holy Ghost | NT general Archive 1 | farout | 44151 | ||
Dear Elder: Please post your personal info in your profile. Then I would know what and how to answer. By the way the exact translation is Holy Spirit, no where in the greek does it say Ghost it was an error on KJV translators that seems to go on, and on. I have no proof that today anyone has been raised from the dead, and can prove it in the last 200 years, I would like to know more of this. Peace, farout |

15 | What verses proove the bible is true???? | 1 Timothy | farout | 44138 | ||
Dear Skippie222: Might I suggest you take a couple of minutes and fill out your personal profile. That way I would know a little more about how to address you. Like if you are a fifth grader I would explain differently than if you were a Freshman in college. If you want e-mail then give an e-mail in your profile, ok. I would like to answer your question. May I suggest II Timothy 3:16 and that should spark some fire in your thoughts. Peace, farout |

16 | God, spouse, family, work..where is me? | Jude 1:9 | farout | 43954 | ||
I have the idea that you are looking at these items in a line. Consider a circle so large you can't see the edges. God is in the center. Now pretend everything is in orbit arround the center, which is God. Who do you place closest to the center? That would be you, I believe. The next would be your wife, family, church, work, and so forth. Your priority relationship is God fist. Because you are second then you may can make your wife the next thing to be in orbit line with. At work you wife might not be exactly in orbit line but the work is. At any time "me" can control as to who is in orbit or line up with you. Well I am right brained and this is easy to visulize for me, I hope you can also. Please do all us a special effort, and fill out your profile so we know if you are a believer, what age range we need to gear the note to. You are welcome to look up mine and see I am a nice old grampa. Peace, farout |

17 | Calling or Walking? | Eph 4:1 | farout | 43949 | ||
You got to walk the talk, and the talk you talk better match thw walk you walk. Sounds a little hip hop, but that is how it is. If your life is not inline with what a christian is to be you need to make a change. I hope this makes it clear what I think it says. Peace, farout |

18 | eternal security | 1 John 5:11 | farout | 43120 | ||
Dear Scribe: I respectfully disagree with some areas of the first answer. John in 1 John 1:8 to 10. and Jesus in John 10, said that once you were born again,or saved if you like, NO ONE CAN PLUCK YOU OUT OG HIS HAND ! Paul tells us we are sealed by the Holy Spirit as a promise of our salvation. Think about King David, he comitted adultry, murder, and yet GOd forgave, and said David was a man after His own heart. Show me any verse that says that any sin we committ is not forgiven, each and every one the same way. We confess our sins. Is there any sin that a carnal christian can't do? Is there any sin to evil for Gods Son who died on the cross? Jesus shed His blood for your and mine sins, and rose again to be our intersseor! Dear friend the Word of God says if someone falls away they were not saved in the first place ! Faith that falters has a flaw from the begining. Do christians look at shameful material, be it movies, magizines, or what ever media ? Do christians ever sware, lie, steal, bare false witness, have sexual relations before marriage, and the list goes on. The sad answer is yes. Is there a price to pay? Does just confessing the sin to God absolve us from the consequence that results the seeds of sin growing? No, with out a doubt what we sow we shall reap. However in Romans 8:28 to 39 THAT NOTHING CAN come BETWEEN US AND THE LOVE OF GOD. Think on this and see for your self what the Word says not what you think or feel. God bless and guide you! Peace in Christ, farout |

19 | 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 |

20 | Nature teaches a man to have short hair? | Rom 14:1 | farout | 40406 | ||
Just my opinion, unless you look like a woman or a homosexual, I choose to know you by your love for Christ. For us antiques over 50, this was a messy subject in the sixties too. If your parents, or if you are married object to it then get clipped, other wise keep it clean and combed. Seems easy to me. | ||||||
