1461 | what is the church's responsibilities t | Heb 10:25 | justme | 239234 | ||
Doc: How many times have we heard the "church" meaning those in some kind of paid position, didn't do this or that? I also came to the conclusion by experience, there is no such thing as a part time pastor (bi-vocational). When I see church members who do not get involved, visit, or even make a phone call to see why you were not there last Sunday, I wonder is anyone really Following Christ? One Pastor can't do it all or even come close. |

1462 | what is the church's responsibilities t | Heb 10:25 | justme | 239261 | ||
Doc: it's high time for us to go back to the Bible and start from there. Maybe even consider new churches, or find old boarded up churches and start from there. Too many pastors like being king pen and churches like being lazy? I am puzzled at this point. justme |

1463 | should it be Easter, or Passover? | Heb 12:24 | justme | 221821 | ||
sonofmom: You have brought to the attention of some who have not given serious thought about what "easter" really is. Easter is satans way of distracting the attention of people from the true meaning of The Resurrection of our Lord Jesus Christ. Eastar was a pagan fals god who was the goddess of fertility, thus the little bunnies and baby chickens. Satan will do all possible to distract from Christ His die worship. I literally hate the word easter. Anyone who doubts that easter clelbration is a pagan holiday needs to read the papers advertizment. In our local area one church ran a add saying there would be a early breakfast, before Sunday School and the easter Lords Supper would be after the easter message. This would be followed by an easter egg hunt. This made me sick! When we use the word "easter" to represent our Celebration of the Resurrection of Jesus Christ, we totally distract the genuine meaning of the Resurrection! I believe calling Resurrectio Day Celebration "easter" is a sin, and shame on those who dishonor the Lord Jesus Christ By doing so! justme |

1464 | fellow believers or not? | Heb 13:1 | justme | 139928 | ||
Hank: I believe "old Oliver" has some relatives up here in Missouri. They have some car lots, and most of them cars have been driven by old widow ladies, that only drove them to church and the store. They went to church a lot, the cars all have about 175,000 miles. For three year old cars that's pretty good would'nt you say? Blessings Hank, have a merry Christmas. justme |

1465 | Curse/Divorce Question | Heb 13:4 | justme | 67386 | ||
simplyword: Welcome to the Forum! Please take some time and tell us something about yourself in the Update Users Info. This allows us to answer questions, and know something about yourself. Your answer with scripture is good. I wonder if you are aware that "putting away" is different from divorce? Putting away was sending a wife away with out a certificate of divorce. Anyone marring such a woman would be commiting adulery, as she was still another mans wife legally. The meant the old husband could come get her, and take her away at anytime. This is what happened and why Moses permitted divorce with a certificate freeing the woman. That is why in Malachi 2:16 "I hate putting away....." Some versons sending away or even divorce. In the Hebrew it refers clearly to sending away or putting away. There is a sharp clear difference from divorce, and putting or sending away without a certificate of divorce. All divorces begin with hardness of heart. Now that I think about it most sin starts with a hardness in our heart toward God. Many Christians have carried unbeliveable second class Christian status in the churches that do not seem to recognize the difference. Divorce is painful and carries with it enough guilt, grief and failure and shame, without us adding more wreight to those who carry this heavy burden as is. Who am I to judge someone elses past when my own had sin; or what need of Jesus would I have had? I once heard someone say "Christians are the ones who shoot their wounded" Oh may this never be said, I pray, out of my mouth, that I added more pain to a wounded Brother or Sister in Christ. However, I shamefully admit I am sure I have. justme |

1466 | Premarital sex is a sin? | Heb 13:4 | justme | 112503 | ||
Kalor: We could add that our laws are based on married couples and families. We have family laws. The majority of our country beliefe marriage to be the basic foundation of social structure. There is a natural shame that takes place when couples just live together. Now if their hearts are so heardned to no longer feel shame than that is another story. Just thought I would add my pennies worth. Blessings. justme |

Hank :-) Justme here, I wanted to tell you that my Cat Scan today came back with No clots whatsoever! The doctors and staff are saying this is a Mircale ! This is their words not mine!

I am so blessed and undeserving of such blessings. thank you Hank for allowing me to post my prayer request and praise of what the Lord has done. Read my note and you will see what we are doing with the reports of the Cat Scans. Blessings my Arkansas Brother. justme |

1468 | Where do we go with burdens? | James 1:5 | justme | 66667 | ||
Hank: I personally have found that remembering Psalm 139:3 has been a verse that has brought me to prayer over burdens and all of lifes problems. Just Knowing the my Father KNOWS ME COMPLETLY! I have at times wondered if asking other Christians to pray for a need I am facing is really that important, if I ask to be in God's direct will. What more could I want. Does the prayers of many make God hear my request any more? If I am truely His Child is not my prayer enough? I say this with a serious question, as I have asked for prayer many times in my life, and it was comforting. But, was that not using my faith in God's ability to answer my prayer? I have pondered this for several years. I would respect and appreciate your opinion. justme |

1471 | Almost understanding? | James 1:22 | justme | 242563 | ||
Brother Rik, Wow a lot has changes from when you first signed in, way to go. I was afraid that you might drop out. But you have stuck in with it. Rik that's just the beginning, ib "following" Jesus, do you now understand what "follow" means? The becoming a Christ like believer is not accomplished in a day or a week it is one second built on the next. Year after year we grow into maturity, but no one every reaches perfection. Why? We have the OSN (my term) Old Sinful Nature. Bless you Brother Rik. Colossians 4:2 "devote yourselves to prayer; stay alert in it with thanksgiving." HCSB justme |

1472 | Avoiding paritality in soul care | James 2:1 | justme | 53248 | ||
May I say Hank so thoughtfully has given a great answer. I would like to add, I am a nam of no great substance, in looks, intellengence, or tallent. However I am friendly and I make it a point to say hello, and try to say something when I am on a plane, train, store, in other words, my daily traffic patter of life. No matter what a person looks like or seems to be, I try to open doors of being friendly. I have led janitors to Christ, a shepard boy in Bolivia, a very wealthy business man , and people from all walks of life. I don't keep count, Jesus does that. I can tell you I have felt try to be friendly, and let the Lord open the door, I will share Christ, and the results are in the persons hands as the Holy Spirit trys to open their heart. This has been my blessing to introduce several hundred people to Christ. Others planted the seed, someone elsed watered, still who knows who has prayed for these people. Many are waiting for us to just speak in love as a potential friend to them about Christ. The fields are white and ready. I do not care about a persons, color, clothes, wealth, or their illness, if I can be a part of spredding The seed or watering, or praying, I pray that somehow the Lord will direct me. I hope this encourages you. agape, justme |

1474 | Elders anointing sick with oil. | James 5:14 | justme | 63708 | ||
Pastor Glenn: Having been a pastor and anointing the sick with oil, I know the fears one can feel. I never felt it was to heal the person. The purpose is bring others attention to the need of the ill person and to help in the person to confess sin. However, inspite of all this I have seen very sick peoples lives extended for a much longer period of time to restore family issues. I have seen prostrate cancer change and the cancer groth slow to the doctors amazement. This is an act of obedience. Even if the person is totally healed, it is only bor a brief time. We all will die it is just a matter of time. My question to you is have you ever anointed any one? If not, then why not? If you have tellme about it, please. God bless. justme |

1475 | Elders anointing sick with oil. | James 5:14 | justme | 63713 | ||
Pastor Glenn: You are blessed. I did almost 130 furnals in 9 years! I did about 10 weddings. I felt with the dead you know they will stay put. I never did a funeral with out having tears of compassion for the grieving. Christians who deney grieving often have long term depression, Many feel it is not Christian to grieve. Which we know it just is not so. The childrens funerals are as difficult as it got for me. I pray Blessings on your ministry. justme |

1476 | Elders anointing sick with oil. | James 5:15 | justme | 63702 | ||
Emmaus:-) I would say my understanding is Biblical. The Catholic Church has the correct understanding of the verse. My question is who are the Elders in the Catholic Church? Have you ever seen this happen, or had it done to ssomeone you know? As a pastor I have done this on several people who were very ill. I believe unless the Universal Church begins to return to the instructions left to us, we are missing a huge blessing. Thank you for your imput. justme |

fran1947: I read your profile and was struck by you felt no would agree with you. Why would you say that? This Forum is based on mutual kindness and respect, there ar many here that have very different Theologies, and Doctrines, and for the most part Forum members have showed genuine respect and kindness. The problem is when one takes an attack of believe it or you are not saved. I am refering to Orthodox Christianity, not cults. Blessings, and pray for peace. justme |

EdB: Your genuine solid beliefs and willingness to stand firm is admirable and I find you refreshing in your defense of your wisdom. I totally agree with your understanding of where this teaching came from, "the pit of hell". Thanks for responding. justme |
