21 | need to know the order the bible was wri | OT general | farout | 40170 | ||
Hi Alice. What seems like an easy question is not. There are Bible scholars who have differing opinions on dating books and even the authors. Much of the diversity come in how one understands scripture. There is one of many Theories called the J E P D. This theory is one which some scholars believe more than one author wrote the book of Genesis. Still yet, there is the idea that three authors who wrote Isaiah. Daniel is a book that has some problems dating it. Some scholars say it was an date of early writing, and others say a much later date. So this makes it hard to have a universal set dating that most would agrre on. In my humble non argumentive position, I believe the Bible is God's onehundred percent inspired without error as originally written. I believe the Bible is infallible. I consider my view of scripture is not that of neo-orthodox. I believe Moses wrote Genesis. I believe Isaiah wrote the whole book. I am conservative, and take a high view litteralism. This is my idea; how a person believes the begining, is how you will understand the end of the Bible, and that determines how you believe the rest of the books in the Bible. I hope I have helped to explain how a complex a simple question can be. There are Bibles in Christian Book stores that have the bible assemblied in how that person thinks the order of the books were written. Again it is how they believe which reflects a conservative or liberal order that would be listed as author thinks. Perhaps the most important thing is for you to know you can trust every word in Holy Scripture. God Bless, farout |

22 | luke 18:22, | Luke 18:22 | farout | 39860 | ||
This man was unwilling to follow Jesus. Jesus asked this Rich ruler to surrender all rights to his possessions. This does not seem to be a universal requirement, but seems to be designed particularly for this man. This is a sumerization of THE EXPOSITORS BIBLE COMMENTARY by Zondervan Publishing House 1984 Volume 8 page 1004. put in my gereral words, I give credit where do. For me to follow Jesus means to surrender your entire life and give Him control over everything. What I think this man lacked was not that he did not sell his belongings, but he did not FOLLOW Jesus. Just how rich was this man? Are not some of us much richer then he was, in compairing what we have today? I stand convicted of being rich compaired to most of the world today. I am continue to follow Jesus and He is my Lord, Boss if you will, and I hope my desire to follow Him is what I do. Do I fail? Yes I do, and I confess my many sins. Jesus has not laid it on my heart to sell all I have. But I think and pray I would if He asked me to. Our salvation is based on faith, by following Jesus. To become Christ like takes a life time, not just a moment. Hope this helps Blessings, farout |

24 | What is ok in a premarital relationship? | Bible general Archive 1 | farout | 39711 | ||
Maybe a better way to ask this is what is expected in a relationship before marriage. Purity, respect, protecting each others christian witness. You are asking about a relationship not engagement. In engagement there is even more responsibilities. Each step in the area of physical closness, the next step is easier, and many christians make some lifetime mistakes. It is true God forgives, but we still suffer the price for not following His word. WWJD is still the best. | ||||||
25 | what is the state of the dead in Christ? | Bible general Archive 1 | farout | 39706 | ||
Hebrews 9:27. I believe that as paul said to be absent from the body is to be in thepresents of the Lord. We are a spirit that resides in a body. This has been a question that I have struggled for more than ten years. and with prayer and much study I beleive at death we are instantly into the presents of Christ. My human sinful nature can not realy understand this, but the spiritual part of me knows. Hope this give you some food for thought. | ||||||
26 | salvation loss | Heb 6:4 | farout | 39694 | ||
In Hebrews 6:4 no where does is say they were actual true Believers. They were not sealed by the Holy Spirit, 2Corinthians 2:21,22. Much like the rich young man who it was said, he was almost persuaded, but he did not follow Jesus. I have a saying that faith that faulters had a flaw from the first. John 10:28 is clear NO ONE can snatch them out of my hand." I beleive No One includes you, and me. Yes I do believe in eternal security of the believer. I admit this seems hard to believe. I am a sinner who because I am so undeserving of salvation, that to have Jesus' hand protecting my soul forever is beyond my understanding! What mercy, I can hardly comprehend. Thank You Lord Jesus! | ||||||
27 | How is it contrary to God's nature? | 1 Cor 7:15 | farout | 39228 | ||
I just want to address suffering.In Romans 8:17 the idea of suffering and sharing whith Christ' glory is an area of scripture you might like to study. I have found that verse and Romans 8:29 helpfull in undrestanding my suffering better. C. S. Lewis wrote a lot about suffering. I believe Lewis said something like suffering is Gods way of getting the our attention. As for your abusive spouse what makes you believe he is a born again Christian? What kind of abuse are you talking about? There are laws, and police, that are there to protect you. There are womens safe houses if you are in danger. You should make your pastor aware of this and see what wisdom he has. Nothing is Impossible with God! We are praying for you. |

28 | If we ask for healing does God answer no | 1 Peter | farout | 39196 | ||
Yes, and no. The relationship with the sick, asking Jesus to heal them, while he walked on earth is one area by it's self. The question does Jesus say no to healing today is also yes and no. Confused yet? When we ask to be healed today, say from cancer, have you ever seen God answer no? Again my answer to you is yes and no. Yes some people are healed now, but not often that I see. Please remember any healing while we are alive is only temporary, we will die eventually. We are pilgrims just passing through, and heaven is our real home. We will be new, have new bodies, so ultimately we are healed. The verse you quote for me means Jesus Stripes that he bore was for my sin. Do you think that might be a different way at loking at this? |

29 | dinasaurs? did they exist? | Bible general Archive 1 | farout | 38789 | ||
There is no doubt that they existed. We have their boned. We also have in Arizona a place where mans footprints are right nest to these created big relics. In the Grand Canyon fossils ate found not according to what eveolutionists clain. A recent non-christian thought on creation is INTELLEGENT DESIGN which I have only heard about on Christian radio. So you might find a book on it. When these animals lived is only a guess. I was not there contrary to my childrens thinking, I am not old as dirt. I think they died after the flood. The earth had changed axis and climate was most assuredly different. However all this points to a wonderful creator which made animals and nam with many simularities. Lungs, reproduction, blood, and on and on. I would suggest Creation Instute in I think Riverside Cailf. They have very fine materials. As for millions of years I do not think so, but I was not there as I said. Hope this helps. | ||||||
30 | Just and unjust | Eccl 8:14 | farout | 38784 | ||
Matthew 5 45. That was easy. to fine some thing like this look un your concordance under RAIN. There should be several references to rain. We all have to start somewhere and never be afraid to ask a question, we are all growing. | ||||||
31 | does God ever say no | 1 Peter | farout | 38782 | ||
Well we know what hampers prayer.1 Peter 3 7. Jesus said anyhing we ask in according to his will it shall be done. Who wants not do be in His will? So maybe we should always ask if this is your will. But if we ask amiss and it is not His will is that no? I tend to think the answer is ask again this time according to whats best for us. Paul most assuredly was turned away several times from places he wanted to go. This is just my thoughts. What do you think. | ||||||
32 | did cain marry his sister or someone els | Genesis | farout | 38511 | ||
This is a real thouht proviking question, good one too. What ages were Adam and eve when they left the garden? Just for the sake of having a place to start lets say 16 to 24. I am sure Eve and Adam enjoved sexual pleasure. Adam and Eve being as close to physical perfect as possible after their fall, were able to have reproduction capabilities far beyond that we have today. Assume Eve concieved every eighteen months. Which is reasonable even today this happens. Lets assume Eves daughters reached reproctivity ability at 12 to 16 like today. At that rate you could easly have 100 humans in a suprising short time. perhaps 15 to 20 years. Remember Adam and Eve lived a long time. So Cain either married a sister or niece. This was not considered incest at the time. Remember the gene pool was much purer than now. The further the reproductive offspring spreds out the less blood related the children become. I hope this helps I ve keept it real basic. | ||||||
33 | Can faith alone without work save you? | NT general Archive 1 | farout | 38508 | ||
Oh Dear friend: You can praise the Lord for Martin Luther of old. While a monk he fought and groped with was it works and faith. While Luther was studing Romans 1 verse 17 he was set free! Faith plus nothing but Jesus Christ equaled salvation! How wonderful, how merceifull. That was the thesis he posted on the Wittenburg door. This was a very vital change in thinking from selling indulgences for sins. A significant historical book is HERE I STAND A Life of Martin Luther by Roland Bainton, Abimgton-Cokesbury Press. I think it was written about 1948. Copies you would most like find in a Good Christian Library or Seminary. Perhaps a used book store, but they are rare and go for 40 dollars. This book is well worth it. You will learn why you are not a Catholic, this I consider vital. Good question, God Bless | ||||||

35 | Bibical list of deacon duties. | Titus 1:8 | farout | 38505 | ||
I have a challenging thought. Perhaps it is life patterns of significant Christlike living, and not qualifications. If a Deacon in the truest form according to Acts, they were to wait on tables, so the elders could do more of their work. Today in some fundamental Churches a divorced person can not serve. Say nothing of a woman! However a Deacon might have had several sexual infidelities and because he was not divorced be QUALIFIED to serve. I personally like the Elders with the Pastor leading the church. I think it is closer to scripture than a Pastor answering to a decon board. No pastor should be voted out by any group with out working with GODLY leadership. I am convienced that 95 percent of the church deacons are serving out of selfish desires to be boss. Leadership Maginizine did a poll several years ago and found out few deacons serve to serve Christ. The Church is not a democracy! We have too many un spiritual people making spiritual choices for the direction they want the church to go! Do I hear a amen out there? | ||||||
36 | do babies go to heaven or hell? | Bible general Archive 1 | farout | 37765 | ||
Can babies sin? When do we reach the age of being able to know what sin is? Is not God a loving mercifal, good God? King David said he would be with his son, his small baby in heaven. If you have had a child go home or know someone who has get the the small pamphlet EMPTY ARMS. Most hospitals have it. Call your pastor or near by clergy, but please seek some comfort. You are not alone inthis and the Father does love the child and you or whom ever. God Bless you. | ||||||

39 | Hebrews 6:6 explained | Hebrews | farout | 37751 | ||
Faith that falters at the first, had a flaw in it at the first.Hebrews 7:25 says that real genuine salvation is completly forever! Please get a good NASB STUDY BIBLE, sold here on line. There have been many volumes written on this verse. Your request could take up all your hard drive in answeres. My view is this does not mean you can loose youur eternal safekeeping, but there are those who come close, but proof of salvation is remaining in Christ! The KJV says abiding. So be faithfull Keep going on do not look back. Hope this helps a little! | ||||||
40 | Speaking in tongues? Use by women? | Gal 3:28 | farout | 37739 | ||
I just spent one hour typing an answer and it went blank. IT MAY HAVE BEEN A BETTER ANSWER. i AM DETERMINED TO AT LEAST GIVE YOU AN ANSWER. Please read Gal 3:28 and Gal 5:6. If you follow my febal minds thoughts, it goes like this. ALL humans of both genders are equal in GODS EYES. God is perfect. us men are arrogant and for a large part think women are less than us. Christ broke this thinking. You may welll be a better closer form of Gods personality. Life giver, nuturer, more patient, well dont get a big head, but get the idea, I hope. Women were the main supporters of Paul! read ACTS and just follow how women kept him going! Tongues has been an issue for thousand of years. I have quietly had GOD SPEAK A STRONG ERGERNT WARNING TO ME. mANY YEARS AGO.I have seen tongues in one church service that was done according to scripture. There was no doubt it was real. This gift is used to will the lost! This is not a gift to ask for, or its not a gift is it? Have you ever seen anyone asked for the gifts of helps, service, giving, oand th list goes on. Why so many waqnt the least desireable gift is clear. THIS GIFT IS A SIGN AND WONDER GIFT WHICH jESUS SAID SIGNS AND WONDERS ARE WHAT THE POPLE |
