BradK: Something else to consider is 42 post's in 3 days is a lot. This is alone is hard to deal with when the questions and notes are very difficult to understand. Your patience is commendable, as well as those who responded in kindness. When Hank noted that 8888 subtract 1111 and that equals 7777, that was a belly buster! Blessings. Justme |

Hank, dear neighbor to the south. You have give me help in a better way than I had thought of, thanks! Did your neck of the woods get much ice? We were without electric for several days. Reminded us that in te days of Jesus it was very much more difficult for people to live. We praise God for the blessings we have, but most of all for the gift Of His Son Jesus Christ! A blessed Holy Christmas to you and Mrs. Hank too. justme |

Hank: After reading your note I did some thinking, (which can be dangerious at times) and I remembered I have a photo copy of the 1611 Edition King James Bible. printed by Thomas Nelson Publishers printed in 1982. There in the font is 11 pages titled "THE TRANSLATORS TO THE READER". These pages have such very small print it's very hard to read. The English is the 1611 which in it's self is odd to comprehend. All that being said, if someone thakes the time to stumble, uninterrupted while reading, it caould dake the better part of a day to read all of pages. For instance here is an example of the odd spelling inthe 1611 KJV. "*The Bookes of the New Teftament*" That's spelling is almost as bad as the way I spell....LOL. Blessings Hank. justme |

Steve: Without Christian authors who are well versed in Scripture there would be no Comemtaries, or Creeds, and Church History would be lost. Many Biblical Schollars have blessed us with sharing the steps of faith. In Midevil times theRoman Church did their best to keep men like Martin Luther from publishing their works. I would suggest that Nothing is above Scripture. There are also Brothers and Sisters who have great insights to share and speak in areas where Scripture may not deal with. Perhaps, this might be an area you might want to espose youself to some very excellent Christain authors. I respect your views, I hope you can better understand mine as well. Blessings. justme |

WOS:I felt you needed to have a further explimation of misunderstanding in what you have read into my post. At no time have i implied these parents wer not in the Word, infact the very opposite is the case. Often there have been times of prarer and Biblical application. Never has there been a doubt as to the lack of Scriptual support. I asked if anyone know of a book by a Christian author that might have experienced something like this couple have. That sounded ptetty intellegent to me, and wise to ask. However, I have been insulted and even insinuated I might not be lieve in the ability of Scripture to be Gods Word. This is very offensive to me. Why did some take such a negative, blaming, condeming response? Oh well it's something for the forum to consider. justme |

Hank: I respect you highly, and it is with tenderness I am responding to you. I am responding to you as an Elder. I am not sure why there has been such a resounding theme that I do not think Scripture alone is Gods Word. I am in total agreement with THE CHICAGO STATEMENT ON BIBLICAL INERRANCY. I don't know of a more forceful and authoritive and detailed Statement of Scriptual trustworthiness and affirmation of inerrancy. I was asking for a book written by someone who had experienced the same hurt, as these parents feel so ashamed they are very discouraged. I saw nothing wrong in that. There are many Christian authors that use Scripture to base their books, and share how the Lord helped them with suffering of all kinds. I assure you and the forum these people are not looking for an easy fix. I do believe the Lord has used Christian authors to supplement what Scripture says. I was in no way attempting to be "somewhat critical of other users who had unequivocally cited the Bible above all other books..." I am amazed that the negative reaction in my asking if anyone knew of a book that could be helpful. I stated that these were Biblical Christians and the hurt was deep, and I simply wanted to give them something to see how someone else has done is such a situation. After reading a number of false assumptions, and criticisms, I am saddened. If we are to say that only the Bible is to be used to help us in our problems then we allow no other Christians to help us bare our burdens. I believe James 5:13-20 suggests we are to help one another. Galations 5:6, Matthew 25:40, James 2:15-17, Hebrews 13:16, John 13:34-35, are just a few verses that I consider Scriptures that give us reason to help a couple in need, be that material, physical or spiritual needs. I never even suggested that the Bible is anything but the higest, pure source of all our needs. Anything less is human and subject to the change in culture, and written by sinful mankind. I would not attempt to list the soild Christian authors, many I am sure you know and have read. I mean no insult to you in anyway whatsoever. I am but a beginner in my study of Scripture, compared with the Biblical knowledge many in the Study Bible Forum, I do not deny my shortcomings. What I find so bothersome is how easy it was to have negative, critical assumptions made against me. I am very concerned that rather than asking me for more information, or even saying someone would pray for this couple, the majority were faulting the lack of trust in Scripture, which most certianly not the case at all. I love you dearly my brother Hank! If I have offended you or others, that is not my intention. I desire a deeper understanding into what and why I was asking for help. Blessings to you and all. justme |

WOS: Condemnation, blame, and a wrong judgements are what I read and see. AT NO TIME DID I ATTEMPT TO FOREGO BIBLICAL ANSWERS! Why do yiu assume the worst in me? For more than 1900 posts are Biblical and perhaps you might want to correct you harsh words after reading a number of them. I refuse to accept an assumption, or what appears to someone as fact. Pray and seek the Lord in his direction before posting me. I feel betrayed at this point. If how I am being judged now is an example to the world as to how Christians love each other, Lord have Mercy on our witness to the world! justme |

Colin: Brother there are two things you need to know. "She" is a "he" and I am not sure how what I wrote got confused, but justme is Mike. I have never used my name but I just might now to end any misunderstandings. Hank and others are correct about Biblical answers, some were afraid I was saying that Holy Scripture was equal to Christian authors of today, I think. The beauty od all this is there is a humble spirit being brought to the surface, and that is what binds us together. I do thank you for the suggestion. I do think you went a little overboard in my defence, which was not my intention at all. Please do add your concerns and thoughts that would encourage and build the forum up. Blessings. justme, Mike |

Hank:-) Often the words do not show the feelings that even come close to what I am attempting to convey. In thinking about my response to your note I took over night most of this day, I wanted to answer you last, and with a clear way. In one way this experience has shown the alertness of some more recent Forum members, who most likely new very little of me. How were they to know I was not a trouble maker, or like a Raven of some time ago on this forun. So enevn being frustrating and somewhat painful for me, the good turns out for glory to the LORD. I know I have grown by this experience, and it seems like most of my Chrisrian growth is learned and imprinted on my heart by pain. I assure you I was not wanting anything to take the place of Holy Scripture, nor as a supplement. What I wanted was someone who had written about an experience close to this couple, as they wondered if anyone else had gone this hurtful path ahead of them. I would never refer a book to anyone that did not use the Holy Scripture as the source of streingth and direction. I myself continue to hold Romans 8 as the source of encouragement in my many health issues. The Book of 1 John in my Bible has at times absorbed my tears. My wife and I take James 5:13-16 as our guide when faced with difficult serious, uncertian health problems. We honestly ask the LORD to keep us in the center of His will. In asking to be in the center of His will we do not ask for our will, and the answer is always what is His very best for us. Again I assure you and everyone else I never intended to for even a second give the opinion that Holy Scripture is anything less than the Owners Manual for Christians, the very Word of God. My deepest sorrow would be if anyone thought I believed such a horrid lie form the evil one himself. Thank you for your note and the encouragement, and belssings to you Hank! justme, Mike |

1434 | the TNIV and the "new" NIV | 2 Tim 3:16 | justme | 230696 | ||
BradK: I too have a TNIV. The Lemstore bookstore I go to returned several boxes of TNIV Bibles about a year ago. Mostly they sstayed on the shelves, just a very few were sold, mine was one. We keep it by itself with a note attached. I was one with Hank and others were somehow selected to review the TNIV before actual punlication. Hank and others like myself gave it a thumbs down, to say it politely. I have used the NIV form the time it first started in 1978. The 1984 is a very much improved version. I have used the NASB from the first edition. The Updated NASB is so much better than the first one. The Open Bible NASB was made with the first edition and is really great, I wish they had kept that with the Updated NASB, and they did attempt it but was not nearly as good. One sad fact is the NASB is not a real good seller. Lockman has done little to promote and advertise the NASB unlike the ESV that has had a huge blitz to promote the ESV. The Lemstore store Ig to has maybe 15 NASB's and they often sit for many months before being sold. Personally the NASB is the Bible I use almost all the time. Thanks for the web site, blessings. justme |

1435 | extra marital "spiritual" relationship? | Titus | justme | 203088 | ||
Doc: I applaud your amswer! There are a number of churches that pastore counsel women by themselves. From day one if a lady wanted counseling my wife was there right ther with me. We have been told that this did not allow a woman "pastoral counseling" and were asked to please stop my wife being there. We did not give into these suggestions. And it eventually did work out for the better. Once a lady says the pastor did something that is damaging to his call, there is nothing that can be dome to take back a wrong statement. Many well known preachers have fallen due to not protecting themselves against false statements. Some have fallen due to temptation. Lives and marriages have been destroyed because of weakness and rumor, we all need to be wise in counseling, men with men and women with women. Pretty basic, but there are those who tread where they should not go. justme |

1436 | What are the qualification for an elder | Titus 1:5 | justme | 67389 | ||
J. Deacon Theo and Brother Robert:-) Good thoughts they are too. To be an Overseer, Elder, Deacon or whatever we do we are to be called By the LORD through His Holy Spirit. "Many are called but few are choosen" is what the Bible says. So just being or feeling called is not enough. Preperation is always part of the call. Blessings! justme |

1439 | The husband of only one wife? | Titus 1:6 | justme | 124315 | ||
Kalos: Greetings brother: The idea of divorce is considered by many Christians to be an accepted fact of life, due to our culture and liberal views. The word divorce should bring fear into every Christians soul. The braking of a Covenant is very serious, and not without serious life long issues. There is no such thing as a person without some guilt. Neither is there anyone who is fully human without sin. The verse in Malachi is often not used correctly. The word is "send away" or "put away" not divorce. I feel certian this dialogue has been worn out, and I will not labor over the difference. When one studies and understands that no matter what we call it God still calls it sin. Perhaps too often we fail to see that ALL sin is cleansed in the same way 1 John 1:9,10. The exception clause of adultery is not really intended to cover up for hardness of heart, it is for those who have no way to resolve this with a non-repentent mate. The real proble is that Christian divorce rate is at the same level or more than non-Christians, which is not justifiable, in any way what so ever. Would that churches spent more effort in rebuilding damaged marriages and less on how to reaccumilate ones self into the church after divorce. I believe many church "single" groups are easy way on how not to place the responsibility of ones actions and walk away free. This is not a help for many. There are some who have divorced Chirstian mates and seem to be functioning quite well. One example is the Rev. Dr. Stanley has stood the test of time and continues to minister very well. I choose not to judge, but rather to let the Holy Father be with those in such hearty braking circunstances. Often we make divorce the unforgiveable sin, and we all know that is not the case. Again brother, this is a very serious question that has and will cintinue to be many long dialogues about. The important thing is for each of us to seek to be in the center of the Fathers will, and for aour mate to do the same and there won't be a divorce. Blesings. justme |

tgc: Thank you for sharing a tender part of you life. I totally understand what you have said. Yes I have been in ministry. May I encourage you by telling you I heard today from a pastor that the Rev. Dr. Stanley and his wife did reconcile. This is good. What you have said is exactly the points I was trying to get to. I would encourage you to let the past be washed in the Blood, and not subject yourself be free from the judgement of those who would cast the first stome. Many blessings. justme |
