1 | Effect of Christian Universalism ? | Not Specified | newoldstock | 92064 | ||
How do you feel about what I would call Christian Universalism creeping into the Mainline denominations? One year ago I left the UMC that I had been a member of for 20 years. The main reason was because both senior and associate pastors believed that everyone will go to heaven. What do you think. 1st. post. | ||||||
2 | How do we discipline church members? | Not Specified | newoldstock | 93397 | ||
This question is concerning a true event that was recently related to me and is not hypothetical. A woman told her husband, a church deacon, that she could not longer stand being married to him. She moved out and within two weeks moved in with another man. She continued to attend the church with the new boy friend. The pastor spoke to her about the unappropriateness of her continuing to attend church under the circumstances. She replied that she loved the church and the congregants and had no intention of leaving their fellowship. The minister next visited her with several other deacons to discuss the situation, but she still continued to attend services with her new man. Finally, the minister brought the situation up in a church service attended by the woman and the man, and she ran out the door in tears and never returned. These are the only details that I know. Was this the correct way to handle this? How would your congregation have handled it? | ||||||

4 | Informed opinions of the ESV please? | Not Specified | newoldstock | 97898 | ||
What are your informed opinions of the ESV now that you have had more opportunity to read and asess it? I have been using it lately after reading searched posts by the folks of this forum. I thank you for pointing me to it. I am very pleased with this translation. I never thought that I would move from the NKJ and the NIV, but the ESV is winning me over. | ||||||
5 | How do you evangelize someone who | Not Specified | newoldstock | 100071 | ||
How do you evangelize someone who does not necessarily believe that the bible is the word of God; and they may not even believe that there is a God without any doubts? They pay no attention if you try to use the bible in your presentation. | ||||||

In the resurection in heaven will we have physical or spiritual bodies? How old do you think we will be? Do you think that we will recognize others? | ||||||

8 | How did alter calls or invitations start | Not Specified | newoldstock | 102615 | ||
Hey, brothers and sisters in Christ Jesus. How was the alter call or invitation established in the church and is there any biblical reference for it? I have not found any thus far. Thanks, Jim. | ||||||
9 | Are there other ways to salvation ? | Not Specified | newoldstock | 107940 | ||
Are there any ways to salvation other than a personal relationship with Jesus Christ? This question keeps coming up in every church that I have attended. What about babies who die young, aborted babies, aborigines, remote pygmies in Africa, Godly Jewish folks, good Muslims, and so on and so on add infinitum? Help me with this. How do I answer grieving parents and Christ seekers? |

10 | ESV Bible evaluations? | Not Specified | newoldstock | 146013 | ||
Now that everyone has had a chance to really use and study the ESV Bible, what is your conclusion? Back in 2002 there were some long threads on it discussing it's quality,long term use and survival as an alternative to the NIV,NKJV, and NASB. What are your more recent thoughts? | ||||||
11 | Your thoughts on 40 Days of Purpose? | Not Specified | newoldstock | 158685 | ||
My UMC is preparing to start 40 Days of Purpose based on Rick Warren's book The Purpose Driven Life. I have some problems with the book. It has a lot of good stuff in it also, but the bad seems to out weigh the good. What do you think about this movement that is sweeping through many churches? | ||||||
12 | Did our first baptism 'not take'? | Not Specified | newoldstock | 183423 | ||
Did our first baptism 'not take'? Should we be baptised more than once? We have many denominations. Some emerse, which I believe is the best way. Some drip, drizzle, wet hand, or pour. If we were originally not emersed, and we change to a denomination that dunks, must we be baptised again by dunking to be qualified to join the church? Jim | ||||||
13 | NIV bible | Bible general Archive 2 | newoldstock | 93517 | ||

15 | Were not all Jews of Jesus's time either | Bible general Archive 2 | newoldstock | 96233 | ||
Godman, were not all Jews of Jesus's time either Pharisee or Saducee? The Pharisees believed in resurection but the Saducees did not. I believe that Jesus was probably raised as a Pharisee. The wealthiest class was the Saducees. See EdB's answer to my question. Jesus mainly disagreed with the Pharisees interpretation of the law. | ||||||

Radioman2, I also was curious about "tectons" and this is what I found in Vine's Expositors: Greek: tekton denotes any craftsman, but especially a worker in wood, a carpenter. |

18 | Informed opinions of the ESV please? | Bible general Archive 2 | newoldstock | 97924 | ||
Hank, I find the ESV more readable than the NKJV and just as readable, but more literal at the same time than the NIV. The English, especially the prose seems to flow better. The texts used for the ESV are the latest in scholarship and it uses the Masoretic text for the for the old testament. The NKJV uses the Bysintine text (TR) and the text used in the NIV is also somewhat dated now. I like the more formal equivalence better than the dynamic equivalence (NIV) method of translation for a bible to study. | ||||||

20 | Amen Hank. I have 33 bibles | Bible general Archive 2 | newoldstock | 97981 | ||
Amen Hank. I have 33 bibles (just counted them) and 5 commentaries, dictionaries, and concordances. I think that I often get so wrapped up in what is the best translation to study that I defeat my purpose and don't study enough. Instead I'm reading books like The King James Version Debate, New Age Versions, The Translation Debate, and The Complete Guide to Bible Versions. I'm addicted to finding the right version when I should be reading A Bible! The best Bible is Read! I have not read the HCSB, but as you can see by my exasperation, I probably will. I have only heard the rummor of a new NKJV here on this forum. Let's sell all of the Books that we don't use regularly and set up a StudyBible Forum Group cruise! Jim | ||||||
