121 | Seeing things? | Bible general Archive 4 | Hank | 200089 | ||
Hi, Val :: Wearing hearing aids, as I must if I wish to hear much of anything, is not necessarily a fun thing and can be a real nuisance sometimes, but it does have its advantages. For example, suppose I should be so unfortunate as to find myself sitting in the audience when this woman began speaking of her experiences of seeing visions, or hearing things go 'bump' in the night, or whatever. That would be my cue to turn my hearing aids completely off. That way I could also turn her off, open my Bible and read, and later be able to tell my friends truthfully what a wonderful time I had at the lecture! --Hank | ||||||

Hello, Val :: Yes, in my homespun attempt at humor, I was indeed saying the substance of this woman's "vision" or whatever it was is not to be taken seriously. This is not to say, however, that your friendship with her should be cast aside. There come times when the role of a true friend is to disagree agreeably and if necessary to make every effort to steer that friend to a third party, as it were, for additional counsel. In this case it could well be a minister who is not only full of wisdom and experience but who himself holds fast to sound doctrine which clearly includes and embraces the sufficiency of Scripture. Val, you come across on the Forum as a gracious and tactful person. By all means use your gifts of grace and tact in dealing with your friend, but at the same time be diligent not to compromise the whole truth out of fear of offending, even though it may be painful for both the herald and the hearer. But I would suggest that you do symbolically what I would do literally, and that is to turn your hearing aids off when she starts to recount her "visionary experience." ...... You have received some fine responses (mine excluded) to your concern. Doc gave an especially excellent example right out of God's word. You might try using it. It would be a telling test of whether this person favors objective, scripturally sound doctrine over her own private dream-world of experiential "reality." I pray that God will make a way for you to deal wisely and within His will with your friend and that she in turn will not turn a deaf ear to the truth. --Hank | ||||||

Hello, Justme. You're right about the odd way hearing aids have of amplifying some things such as eating. When one is eating Jello it sounds to him like he's chomping on crisp celery! ..... Regarding the near-death experiences, you've asked me a question that I am not qualified to comment on, for on this subject I make no claim whatever to expertise. At the same time, however, I am not at all prone to get carried away by the books and articles floating around that report on these phenomena and usually attempt to promote their credibility. They border far too much on the occult and the metaphysical for me, and my personal position is that the Christian would be wise to concern himself with things of Scripture, which are of immensely greater importance. If I get an urge to tweak my little gray cells with a touch of diversion, I'd sooner work a crossword puzzle or read an Agatha Christie whodunit. :-) --Hank | ||||||

Dear jedal :: You asked a similiar question on Saturday. The answer you received to Saturday's question suffices to answer today's question also. The name of this web site is Study Bible Forum. We are not a cloister of scholars dedicated to the study of the beliefs and practices of Roman Catholicism. Sorry. .....

John, better to count kinda slow than not at all I suppose. Most of my neighbors here in the Ozarks can't count past 10 without taking their shoes off. But the good news is that most of them don't wear shoes anyhow. :-) --Hank | ||||||

holyours :: Warm wishes and welcome from a native of Tennessee who is now your nearby neighbor in the Arkansas Ozarks! Thanks for submitting your question to SBF. We hope to be able to help and suggest it might be advantageous if you tied it to specific passages of Scripture that you perhaps have in mind. Could you do that for us, please? --Hank | ||||||

Hello, Michael :: This is something I've been meaning to do for a long time. You are now in your fifth year as a registrant of and contributor to Study Bible Forum, but we have not the pleasure of reading your personal profile because none exists! Now it is far from my intent to obtrude upon your privacy by asking your to reveal any personal information that you'd prefer to keep private, but nearly all of us veterans of SBF have entered certain items of information about ourselves that are designed to help our peers know us a little better. If you have not already done so, a visit to the personal profile page of some of the regular users will give you some idea of the kinds of data that other users have chosen to include in their profiles. It's good to have you as a regular on SBF, Michael. Won't you consider adding a personal profile? It would help us to get to know you a little bit better. Very cordially, --Hank. | ||||||

Eton :: Nothing in Scripture mandates that ministers should have sex before they preach! At all events, sexual union should be between a husband and his wife, i.e., one man married to one woman. This is God's plan and has been thus since Eden. See Genesis 2:24. --Hank | ||||||

Joyle :: Properly used, the term "Christian" describes a child of God, a regenerate believer in the Lord Jesus Christ. The reason I say properly used is that Christian has been misapplied and used in a vague way to describe what is not necessarily altogether Christian, as in the term "a Christian nation," etc. To call someone a "God-fearing person" does necessarily denote that he is a born-again believer in Jesus Christ as his Lord and Savior. ...... There are two kinds of fear, secular and religious, described in the Bible. Some modern Christian preachers and teachers tend to de-emphasize, or omit entirely, the fear of God. Their stress is placed solely upon the love of God without even mentioning the consequences of disobeying a wrathful and holy God who holds men accountable for their sins. While there is indeed a greater emphasis placed on the love of God in the New Testament, the element of fear was proclaimed by the early church. In Phiippians 2:12 the apostle Paul laid it down to believers that they were to work out their salvation "with fear and trembling." Acts 9:31 records that the churches "were edified and walking in the fear of the Lord, and in the comfort of the Holy Spirit, were multiplied." ...... The classic definition of "the fear of the Lord" as the term is used in Scripture is reverential trust. He who teaches the love of God to the exclusion of the judgment of the holy and righteous God should read Jonathan Edwards' sermon, "Sinners in the Hands of an Angry God (available on line). The early New Testament church stood in awe and fear in the presence of a holy God, and so should the church today, for to fear God and keep His commandments is the whole duty of man (see Ecclestiastes 12:13). ...... So, a Christian is by biblcial definition a God-fearing person. But it does not follow that one who fears God (it could be a pagan god he fears) is necessarily Christian. --Hank | ||||||

TJS :: Long experience on Study Bible Forum has taught us that it is unwise, and can in fact be outright dangerous to the inquirer, to attempt to dispense specific personal advice and counsel on this Forum, particularly about domestic situations. Accordingly, I repeat for emphasis what Brad Myers has already suggested to you, that you obtain personal counsel from a trusted pastor or other qualified Christian advisor. In doing this we are by no means trying to evade the situation or brush you off; and certainly it is not to be construed as being indicative of an uncaring or mean spirit. The Forum is designed for the study of Scripture and does not purport to be equipped to deal with matters that clearly require personal counselling. So perhaps you will consider seeking out a trusted pastor. It is quite possible that he may be able to help you in ways which we through the use of this medium simply cannot do. Welcome to the Forum. It is hoped that you will find something of spiritual edification here. If you would like to review the terms of use, you may gain a better grasp of what the Forum is designed to do. --Hank | ||||||

TJS :: A conflict not unlike that of which you speak and with which believers wrestle day by day was by no means foreign to the apostle Paul. He discusses it in Romans 7. Verses 15 through 25 present a profound insight into the spiritual and psychological struggles within the believer between two natures, the old sin nature and the divine nature received at the point of regeneration. The passage shows that self-effort cannot achieve holiness through keeping of the law or win the struggle against indwelling sin. Actually, one should read and study Paul's argument all the way from the beginning of Romans 6 through Romans 8 in order to attain a more lucid understanding of it. --Hank | ||||||
