Hi, Ollienorma4! Glad to welcome you to the forum... I too enjoyed the format and the adhesion to Scripture... almost from the very beginning, I felt this push to hone my familiarity with Scripture... I hope it awakes in you too the desire to study more and more everyday! God Bless! Angel |

142 | is murdering wrong? | Bible general Archive 2 | JCrichton | 133876 | ||
Hi, kp731a! Kalos has offered excellent Scripture, please study them carefully! I simply want to remind you of this other passage: Do not repay anyone evil for evil. Be careful to do what is right in the eyes of everybody. If it is possible, as far as it depends on you, live at peace with everyone. Do not take revenge, my friends, but leave room for God's wrath, for it is written: "It is mine to avenge; I will repay," says the Lord. On the contrary: "If your enemy is hungry, feed him; if he is thirsty, give him something to drink. In doing this, you will heap burning coals on his head." Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good. (Romans 12:17-21) Pray and learn to be slow to anger! (James 1:19) God Bless! Angel |

143 | Peacemakers and Politics? | Bible general Archive 2 | JCrichton | 134074 | ||
Hi, Tlewis! The problem with politics is that it is based on opinions and perspectives... when the candidate wants to be elected he/she would subscribe to whatever sways the public (votes) even though they may not believe in anything but making their "mark." Just recently we found out that the governor of NJ was not only involved in an adulterous relationship but the relationship was with a man--after the fact, we now hear how his "buddies" had warned him about the perils of having such open relationship (open as far as his immediate political system)... Is there any record where the NJ governor spoke to the public and made his adulterous relationship known? I do not recall any such! So are the peacemakers... President Clinton swore that he would be a National President... that he would keep America out of international involvement... yet, his presidency followed President Bush's which hurled America knee-deep in at least one international affair... so only weeks into his inauguration Presiden Clinton was gearing up for a military confrontation... Anyone can boast of being a Christian candidate... not many will adhere to Scripture when all matters of government is concerned (war, abortion, homosexuality, poverty, education, employment, taxation, gene-splicing, stem-cell and other chemichal and bioengineering...); since these topics are easily manipulated and most of the exchange become heated and emotional, a Bible forum is not the best place to seek the exchange... As Christians we should not be interested in politics during the pre-election month/month and a half... we should be involved every day of every year seeking to inform (those who are actively involved) other Christians of the activities of the political parties, and seeking to learn about the people representing America (those who are not politically active), those who eventually dictate the rule of the government. Here's my suggestion to you: Yahoo offers free setups, speak to a few of your acquaintances and organize an on-line discussion group on Scripturally based government/political/social issues... I am sure that a few of this forum's and other Biblical forums' members will be willing to explore political issues based on a Biblical approach! God Bless! Angel |

Hi, Perry! Can you explain to me what trying to say? This forum has already restricted your thread--not to silence you, but because it does not involve itself with religious arguments (amongst other politics); if you care to write me do so, I am interested in hearing your views... now, I warn you, I am not seeking conversion--I am merely interested in seeing your perspective (Christmas and so on): jcrichtonfs1 at yahoo.com God Bless!

145 | Are Bible Translations Inspired? | Bible general Archive 2 | JCrichton | 134401 | ||
Hi, Hank! ...was on my way out when I saw your post... As the Jewish people were of one belief, there does not seem to have been a need to have various versions of the Scrolls passed along... The desire of one group of Christian to "own" Scripture has caused this unending reinvention of Scripture... one emphesizes grammar, another, context, another symbolism, another modernism, another orthodoxy (at least till the next "urika" happens by)... Did Paul say that God was a God of chaos or of order? (1 Corinthians 14:33) So if we continue to promulgate more and more translations, are we serving to promote peace and unity or further divisions and disorder? One of the atheists and anti-Christians charges is that there are multiple numbers of Bibles, each contradicting the others... Of course they are not totally correct... but they are pointing out a serious flew in Christian Unity! God Bless! Angel |

148 | Bibiography for the Holy Bible | Bible general Archive 2 | JCrichton | 134561 | ||
Hi, BWH! The Bible is a compilation of Holy Writings, to seek to name one author would be akin to taking several books (each written by a different author) from the past 50 or 200 years, compiling them into one volume, and attempting to write a bibliography on the collective while designating only a single author. Now, since the Bible is inspired by God, we could, technically, say that the author of the Bible is YHWH (Yahweh). God Bless! Angel |

149 | when Jesus returns | Bible general Archive 2 | JCrichton | 134974 | ||
Hi, L. Smith! I think that what you are referring to is a composite of three Scriptural passages: He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches. To him who overcomes, I will give some of the hidden manna. I will also give him a white stone with a new name written on it, known only to him who receives it. (Revelation 2:17) "Not everyone who says to me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but only he who does the will of my Father who is in heaven. Many will say to me on that day, ‘Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name, and in your name drive out demons and perform many miracles?’ Then I will tell them plainly, ‘I never knew you. Away from me, you evildoers!’ (Matthew 7:21-23) "When the Son of Man comes in his glory, and all the angels with him, he will sit on his throne in heavenly glory. All the nations will be gathered before him, and he will separate the people one from another as a shepherd separates the sheep from the goats. He will put the sheep on his right and the goats on his left. "Then the King will say to those on his right, ‘Come, you who are blessed by my Father; take your inheritance, the kingdom prepared for you since the creation of the world. For I was hungry and you gave me something to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink, I was a stranger and you invited me in, I needed clothes and you clothed me, I was sick and you looked after me, I was in prison and you came to visit me.‘ "Then the righteous will answer him, ‘Lord, when did we see you hungry and feed you, or thirsty and give you something to drink? When did we see you a stranger and invite you in, or needing clothes and clothe you? When did we see you sick or in prison and go to visit you?’ "The King will reply, ‘I tell you the truth, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers of mine, you did for me.’ "Then he will say to those on his left, ‘Depart from me, you who are cursed, into the eternal fire prepared for the devil and his angels. For I was hungry and you gave me nothing to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me nothing to drink, I was a stranger and you did not invite me in, I needed clothes and you did not clothe me, I was sick and in prison and you did not look after me.’ "They also will answer, ‘Lord, when did we see you hungry or thirsty or a stranger or needing clothes or sick or in prison, and did not help you?’ "He will reply, ‘I tell you the truth, whatever you did not do for one of the least of these, you did not do for me.’ "Then they will go away to eternal punishment, but the righteous to eternal life." (Matthew 25:31-46) God Bless! Angel |

150 | How do i start a Bible Study | Bible general Archive 2 | JCrichton | 135612 | ||
Hi, Grott! Tim Moran offered you some excellent formats... I simply wanted to add... if you not have done so yet, post a simple flier announcing that you seek other Christians to form a Bible Study Group; in the flier ask them to contact you to set a preliminary meet where you can discuss the specific directions and content of the group... Also, if you have not started doing so yet, begin a personal prayer week--where you dedicate part of your free time on prayer and Scripture, asking for the Holy Spirit's guidance on your objective. God Bless! Angel |

151 | Lockman and NASB representation? | Bible general Archive 2 | JCrichton | 135667 | ||
Hi, Reighn! ...let me take a stab at this: Moderator(s): No! Abuse of Forum's Guidelines permitted: No! Can any member restrict a thread?: No! Can any member report abuse? Yes! Does Lockman remove posts? No! Does Lockman restrict posts? Yes! Does Lockman monitors or selectively deletes or restricts posts? No! Do people confuse this forum for an all out, all permisive forum? Yes! Do they miss the point of the forum? Yes! Could they post somewhere else? Yes! This forum is ours to use not to abuse! When a member finds a questionable post he/she has not only the right but also the obligation to report it! I've noticed that a thread to which you posted was restricted... you can check the various contributions that were made... perhaps one or more of the replies (which could even include the original post that started the thread) did break the forum's rules... I truly hope that this has help! God Bless! Angel |

154 | How literal is the Bible? | Bible general Archive 2 | JCrichton | 135776 | ||
Hi, Reighn! I do not think that the matter is settled by you opting to exile yourself from the question queue... I do agree with Hank that you (and other members) post lengthy questions that seem to be more of a statement of faith than a query... still, there are the sequence questioners who do not seem to breath deeply enough to allow another person to post... ...my friend, we all fall short of God's Holiness... we all err in one way or another... I just don't think that removing yourself from partial participation is the correct thing to do! ...as Colin suggested, I too suggest to you to rethink your appoach, summarize your queries, and allow the Holy Spirit to Shine! God Bless! Angel |

155 | How literal is the Bible? | Bible general Archive 2 | JCrichton | 135778 | ||
Hi, Hank! Thanks for your informative reply! I too have come accross people who preach anything they want and call it Scripture... sadly, they have been destined to destruction and though they read Scripture that warns them about the imminent peril (2 Peter 2:12-22; 3:3-7; 1 John 2:18-19; Jude 1:10-13)... It is our responsibility to pray for their reform as well as for those who they are leading astray... they are blind guides leading the blind into perdition! God Bless! Angel |

Hi, Reighn! I think that you are missing my point... I was attempting to convey to you that we all make mistakes... that threads are restricted... that we all have the same right to post questions as the next person... my suggestion to you was to not exile yourself from a part of the forum--I suggest that you summarize your questions and that you refine the content of your questions... I have no authority on this or any other forum, yet as a regular user I feel obligated to interact with all other users... offering both my support and observations... There has never been a single post where I have attempted to pull ranks or any other form of tenure on anyone... other than closing (exiting) my own thread (a thread on which I have engaged others) I have displayed no authority... I offer you my apologies if you have perceived any overt or covert authoritative remarks on my posts! Again, my intent was to urge you to continue posting your questions; not to censure or restrict you! God Bless! Angel |

Hi, Reighn! They say that it is better late than never... here it is!: for it is not eating and drinking that make the kingdom of God, but saving justice, the peace and the joy brought by the Holy Spirit. It is the person who serves Christ in these things that will be approved by God and respected by everyone. So then, let us be always seeking the ways which lead to peace and the ways in which we can support one another. (Romans 14:17-19) God Bless! Angel |

158 | What are Jesus' grandchildrens names? | Bible general Archive 2 | JCrichton | 136527 | ||
Hi, Emmaus! Excellent post! Too many people read Scripture and find values where there are none, symbolism where there's none, and they even fail to see the Truth when it is staring right at them! In North America you seldom hear the name Jesus as being popular but in Latin America it is almost as popular as Mary... it was the same then, some names as Mary and Simon were very very popular, others as Joshua (Jesus) were not as popular but were still current! God Bless! Angel |

159 | Rapper turned pastor and now t'd rapper | Bible general Archive 2 | JCrichton | 136634 | ||
Hi, Gab! It is truly difficult to know what God intends to do with us... there are many both celebreties and noncelebreties who have made stides on the Way only to turn away from Him when things did not happened as they thought it would or when the world calls them entices them back (Matthew 13:3-23 and 13:24-30)... Remember also Pauls words... not all have been called to be apostles, prophets, preachers, teachers... (1 Corinthians 12:28-30) As long as this person stays within Christ's Body he can serve the Lord in any station of life! God Bless! Angel |

160 | Rapper turned pastor and now t'd rapper | Bible general Archive 2 | JCrichton | 136658 | ||
Hi, Gab! Your testimony is strong and uplifting! Jesus warned the disciples that the world would hate them on account of Him (John 15:18-20)--since the world did not receive Jesus, all of Jesus' disciples would receive the same treatment... yet, there were those who listened and believe and through the disciples there are those who listen and believe! I understood from your testimony that Satan blinded you for a while... that while you knew that Jesus was the answer, you still wanted to hold on to the old Gab (the popular guy with the "friends" and the "girls" and the "parties!")... it was when you committed to Christ that you realized how wrong you were... you realized that He would vomit you out of His mouth (Revelation 3:16)... you realized that you were doing a disservice to both the Lord and His Body and to yourself! Your commitment to stick it out is what Jesus refers to as those who "stand" or "overcome..." those who are His true disciples! The worst lot for a Christian to preach to or evangelize are his/her previous "friends..." these are the people who, with the now Believer, enjoyed rejecting Christ and reveling in all the unrightous acts with witch they defiled themselves and God! The strongest evangelization that we can do is STAY THE COURSE! We can convict more of our past "friends" by maintaining our devotion and commitment to the Lord than all the preaching and sharing of Scripture with them... of course, as we continue our life in the Lord, they will become convicted of their own failures and through our gentle ministering to them the Holy Spirit may be able to awaken in them the Truth: Jesus is the Resurrection and Life! As far as the pastor... you cannot be responsible for him! You cannot account for his actions any more than I can... those who come to you protesting of hypocracy on the part of Christians you will do well in reminding them that it is the man who fails not Christ! It is our stubbornness that keeps us from submitting to our wills to God! And it is our doublemindedness that causes us to walk in the Lord for a time, only to reject Him when our whim is not satisfied! Remind them also that not all are able to lead and instruct in the Lord... that a servant of Christ is not subject to only one station in the Lord... many are called to be healers, listeners, laborers, preachers, and yes, even wonderers... Remind them that being Christian is a life-time commitment and that many who begin their life in the Lord are as confused and as frightened as when they only knew the things of the world! I will be praying for you and for this ex-servant of Christ! God Bless! Angel |
