121 | License To Marry? | Rom 13:1 | Glory Bound | 130670 | ||
I'm not familiar with the statistics, but I would ask. how many marriage licenses "between a man and a woman" are regularly refused? Gods word doesn't say "THAT THERE NEEDS TO BE A LICENSE TO MARRY", but it does tell us to adhere to the laws of the land. Whether you, or I like or understand the law or not, is of no consequence. You state: "It just says that whoever God so joins let no man put asunder. Asunder means to not allow any person to have authority over you in the matters of God and the heart--except for God. " I would suggest you look up the word "asunder" before you make any more statements concerning its meaning. Word for word, a simple dictionary will cover a ton of ignorance. Concerning scripture one must keep in mind that "precept must be upon precept, precept upon precept; line upon line, line upon line; here a little, and there a little", that they may join "them that are weaned from the milk, and drawn from the breasts" If you do not understand my statement and quotations from scripture, you would be well advised to invest in a good dictionary.

122 | how do i pray for help? | Matt 6:9 | Glory Bound | 130618 | ||
It has been said that the Lord is as close as the tip of the tongue, or He is as close as ones knees to the ground. I attest that He is even closer than that, for according to scripture, He has written His Word in the hearts of His people. We are to pray without ceasing. This is not that our every moment is to be spent on our knees in prayer. What it is is that we are to constantly praise Him, thank Him and make prayerful supplications (to ask humbly and earnestly of), throughout the day. I firmly believe the answer to your question lies in Matthew chapter 6. If for no one else other than yourself and your loved ones, consider 2 Timothy 2:15 in the KJV May God Bless, protect, watch over and be with you and yours. GB. |

123 | Was NT Written in Greek or Hebrew? 1 | Eph 3:19 | Glory Bound | 130615 | ||
Other than scripture itself I make no claim of authority concerning an answer to this question, however I would like to inject my thoughts on the matter. It seems that your question has a rather simple answer consisting in the answers to the following questions. (1 and 2) Who wrote the book in question and to whom was the book written? First of all, the NT is more than just one book. It is 27 books with a number of authors, written to various churches and individuals, combined under one name. It is just that; The New Testament. It reveals that which was concealed in the Old. It seems reasonable to assume that if Paul were writing to a Greek Church or individual, he would not use Hebrew. Likewise, if he were writing to a Hebrew Church or individual, he would not use the Greek language and writings. Label me as you wish, but I firmly believe that the learned spawn ignorance and division when they look beyond the simplicity of Gods Word and attempt to complicate it with such trivial and "off the path" matters. I only voice the overall thoughts of scripture. GB |

124 | I am a new Christian and I am trying to | 1 Cor 11:31 | Glory Bound | 130608 | ||
Scripture states, and I paraphrase, "nothing of itself is sin." For example, some think it is sinful to eat this or that. Paul says that it is not what goes in to the mouth; it is what comes out of the mouth that is sinful, for it comes from the heart. In the case of gambling; it is not a sin just because it is gambling. Just like everything else though, it can become a sin depending on the circumstances. Scripture also states that “anything” done to the excess is sin. Many think that gambling is sinful because the soldiers cast lots for Jesus’ cloak. If this were true, the disciples would have been sinning when the cast lots to see who would replace Judas. Sin originates as a thought. An Evil desire which when acted on eventually rears the ugly head of sin. If you have doubts concerning what may or may not be sinful, ask yourself the question, would Jesus participate with me in this activity. If you think not, then “to you it is sinful.” This does not mean that it may be sin to another. Many will state, “Sin is sin”! To a degree, they are right. But I would state from scripture “to him that knoweth to do good, and doeth it not, to him it is sin. Jam 4:17. Try judging your own actions in advance… 1Co 11:31 For if we would judge ourselves, we should not be judged. 1Co 11:32 But when we are judged, we are chastened of the Lord, that we should not be condemned with the world.

125 | License To Marry? | Rom 13:1 | Glory Bound | 130584 | ||
I never really thought of it before, and I really don't recall any mentions thereof in scripture, but If Moses gave a "writing of divorcement," and scripture makes at least 11 mentions thereof, might there not have been some sort of "writting of marriage"? I can understand the licensing of marriage today. IF IT WERE ACCORDING TO A REASON. Unfortunantly though, there seems to be little rational reasoning this day and time, concerning marriage, or much of anything else for that matter. GB |

126 | homosexuality | Bible general Archive 2 | Glory Bound | 130580 | ||
Hank, did I say "a homosexual was any more "possessed" than any other garden-variety sinner?" Hank, Did I say that "Scripture lowered the boom on one class of sinners while letting another class off the hook with a light slap on the wrist?" What did I state that was not scriptural, Hank? Sin is sin. There is but one unpardonable sin. Did I "state" anything otherwise? GB |

127 | Too many questions? | Eph 4:18 | Glory Bound | 130579 | ||
I think that phrase should be reworded. "There are no dumb "sincere" questions." Well, maybe there are... but it's a nice thing to say anyway. GB |

128 | Too many questions? | Eph 4:18 | Glory Bound | 130578 | ||
I thought there was more meaning than was written. You should see the character "LJeffe" on the AOL Bible board. This person is very learned scripturally, but a classic example of one whos words condemn him. His posts portray self righteous hatred for everyone. He wouldn't last more than a dozen posts on this board before he would be booted. Thank goodness for this boards standards, AND its observances thereof. GB |

129 | Is the bible complete and inerrant? | Bible general Archive 2 | Glory Bound | 130577 | ||
Actually, the deeper I get into scripture, the more I come to the realization that scripture as a whole, says many things that it does not say dirrectly. I thought sure that I had read your thought in scripture. That: "Jesus said the next great event would be His return." It may be unwritten, but I believe that it is there. GB |

130 | I married wrong woman,what can I do? | Bible general Archive 2 | Glory Bound | 130575 | ||
My wife, which is 20 years my senior, was married to a man she didn't love for over 30 years. Like many, she married to get out of the nest. She is a wonderful Christian, the most spiritually influential person I have ever known. She really didn't know him when they first married. He became a thief, and a liar and remained such till near the end of his life. She nearly single handedly raised all 5 of her children. She will occasionally tell me of the embarrassment she endured because of the lack of moral character he had. I have studied scripture concerning marriage and divorce and am convinced that it is because of my wife that her deceased previous husband managed to accept the Savior. The scripture comes to mind, and I paraphrase, “No grater love has anyone, than that they would give their life for another.” She gave much of her life to someone whom, other than as another child of God, she simply did not love. Although there are 3 ways out of a marriage according to scripture, there is no doubt that self-sacrifice and love of the Lord is the more honorable route Joyce and I are rapidly approaching our 20th anniversary. I have 5 children; 4 boys and 1 girl. My oldest son is 3 years older than I. (I love to tell folks that I got started EARLIER than life.) I have 16 grandkids and 13 grates. All steps of course, but they all love me, and I love them as though they were my own. They are, and will always be my only children. GB |

131 | Difference between christian/ disciple | Acts 11:26 | Glory Bound | 130471 | ||
"Should we follow jesus teachings are something that man made up." Are you attempting to set up another "soap box"? If so, please learn to indent and capitolize where required. I am proud to be called a Christian! I'm not necessarily proud of the fact that many who profess Christianity know very little, other than what has been so puffed up by mans leaven and, or ignorance, false teachings and divisiveness, that they bring shame to the name. This is why those who are called, are called also to "fight the good fight and profess a good profession." GB |

132 | Too many questions? | Eph 4:18 | Glory Bound | 130469 | ||
Perhaps your answer lies in the book of Titus 3:8-11 "NIV" But avoid foolish controversies and genealogies and arguments and quarrels about the law, because these are unprofitable and useless. Warn a divisive person once, and then warn him a second time. After that, have nothing to do with him. You may be sure that such a man is warped and sinful; he is self-condemned. GB |

Where is Jesus' statement you paraphrased, Ed? I've probably read over it a hundred times. That's what I get for using the NIV. I read it too fast and overlook too much. KJ makes me think, and the older I get, the harder that gets. GB |

134 | Is the bible complete and inerrant? | Bible general Archive 2 | Glory Bound | 130466 | ||
Hi Ed. Forgive me, this is off the subject, but this subject put me in mind of the following. With all the "versions" of scripture, do you not feel, like I, that they are diluting and possiably deluding scripture, and leading us to the verge of another division? Surely the time is near! GB |

135 | homosexuality | Bible general Archive 2 | Glory Bound | 130465 | ||
Hi Emmaus Considering what is said in Ephesians 6:12 "NIV" "For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms." Would you not say that it is likely that those guilty of the lifestyle of the sodomite could be "possessed"? Many would label me radical, but something in me tells me that there is so much that we simply do not know, and I feel that there are hoards of "spirits of evil" out there inflicting humanity to an extent which no one is fully are of, or willing to admit to. i.e. Spirits of alcoholism, theft, perversion, and on and on and on. I know there are man made labels and excuses for these "diseases." but I feel that it is simple. There simply isn't enough adherence to what is said in the Word. GB |

Correction: It is the sin, and non acceptance of the Son and the price He paid which is non acceptable in in the sight of God. |

137 | homosexuality | Lev 18:22 | Glory Bound | 130462 | ||
God loves us all, no matter who or what we are. It is the sin, and non acceptance which is non acceptable in His eyes. A homosexual, which is commonly referred to in scripture as a Sodomite. Do a word search in the King James version and see what is stated concerning such. For one thing, they sin against their own flesh. For another thing, our creator looks on that particular sin as an abomination. Pretty strong words. Well, it's a ugly thing if one gets down to the nitty gritty! In OT times, sodomy was punishable by death. The offender never had an opportunity to repent. What Jesus did concerning this fact was to give the offender a path of forgiveness (himself,) and time for repentance. Those who justify, uphold and make excuses for the homo's (sodomites) fool no one other than themselves and the scripturally unlearned, thus making them, as themselves spiritually void, and headed for eternal damnation. We have not the right to judge another, for this is left to Jesus Christ alone. Yet He gave us His word so we could judge the actions. He expects to do just that. Though at the moment one may be directly headed for Hades, we know not what will be the ultimate direction that person will take. Meanwhile we must.... gently instruct, in the hope that God will grant them repentance leading them to a knowledge of the truth, and that they will come to their senses and escape from the trap of the devil, who has taken them captive to do his will.

138 | Excommunication. Is it for today? | Matt 18:15 | Glory Bound | 130447 | ||
Excommunication is not something to be taken lightly, but in answer to your question, It is if one considers the NT and Pauls teachings applicable today. GB |

140 | Can the soul actually be destroyed? | Matt 10:28 | Glory Bound | 130235 | ||
Only by He who made it in the first place, yet He has stated that the distruction of the soul will be eternal. This is the second death in the lake of fire and brimstone. ETERNAL DAMNATION! That's a long time to suffer in a lake of fire with the meanest of the mean and dumbest of the dumb. If you haven't accepted Jusus Christ, which are you? ALL who do not accept the sin debt paid by Jesus Christ on the cross at Calvary on their behalf can be categorized in one of the two above categories. This sounds crude, but it is a fact without the rosy coverings. GB |
