22 | Does God want us to belong to one church | Bible general Archive 4 | jlhetrick | 205069 | ||
Sissy- some good responses from others already; allow me to add a little. You didn't mention if your husband is saved, so there is assumption here that can be corrected as needed. If your husband is saved then 1Cor 11:13 would apply. I'm not interpreting this to imply that the saved husband should be jerking his family from church to church but that doesn't seem to be your situation. I'm understanding that your husband currently has you steady in a Bible teaching church, just a different one from the one you were attending. I see no problem. Tamara does a good job of pointing to some practical reasons for commitment to a single local church body, most importantly, in my opinion, the accountability issue. Still, there are lots of reasons people change churches (such as job relocation, etc.) Changing to one that your saved husband leads you to (assuming he's saved and the church is teaching sound doctrine) is as good a reason as any in my opinion, and again, keeping with 1Cor. 11:13. The husband is called as the spiritual leader under Christ's leadership. Some are offended by this while others, husbands, abuse it with attempts to impose a control over their wives and families that is not justified. Since you have been in church consistently, you may be the one to lead your husband to Christ, (this assuming he is not saved) or to encourage him in the Word as he seeks the Lord's truth. See 1Cor 7:14-17 for some reference and then read the entire books of 1 and 2 Corinthians for greater understanding. Hope this helps; welcome to the forum! Jeff |

23 | If a person hurts you and ask forgivenes | Bible general Archive 4 | jlhetrick | 205147 | ||
Katielee- welcome to the forum! The Bible clearly teaches that salvation is through faith in Christ alone, so, you can discount anyone's saying that not having a relationship with anyone other than Christ Himself will result in your going to Hell. As a general and very practicle rule, which I will abide by here, we do not address specific relationship issues/conflicts here on the forum. It's not the purpose of the forum, nor could we hope to fully understand all parties involved in a way that would make even gereral advise safe to give. With that said, perhaps meditating on this scripture will be helpful. Matthew 18:21-35. We, each of us, do well to continually remember our own position before God, Eph. 2:5. God Bless, Jeff |

chesshores- your offering a lot of explanation for others in your "first" post here but I fear I miss the point. I'll have to start with giving you the benefit of doubt and hope that your not actually one or both of the previous "former users". I'm not acusing you, but can't imagine why you would go through so much to "qualify" yourself; you know, expaining having the same ISP and ISP address as two users who's accounts were "terminated". I am further troubled by your self-proclaimed level of higher maturity and knowledge. As a member here I have some concerns and questions about your post but don't intend to ask or go further than I have. This is a bible study forum. Did you have a bible study question or input? God bless, Jeff |

25 | Profile on the 12 Apostles | Bible general Archive 4 | jlhetrick | 205603 | ||
Hello salmartinezjr- Welcome to the forum. You can pull up all sorts of stuff by typing in "12 Apostles" in your search engine (but some of it might be worthless at best. The best thing, of course, would be to pull it from the New Testament. Some of us use electronic bible libraries which are relatively inexpensive (and there is even a free one that is excellent ) if you want to check out my user profile (click on my username next to this post) for more info on that. The great thing about the digital libraries is that you can pull information out (literally in seconds) that might take many hours to find using actual books (if you even have access to that many books in hard-copy). More time studying and less time searching. Hope this helps, Jeff |

27 | Source for blueletterbible Strong's? | Bible general Archive 4 | jlhetrick | 206203 | ||
Hello J.P You should contact blueletterbible.org to inquire about their site. This would be a real mess if people started offering thoughts, suggestions, speculations, etc. about another site and might even lead to a liability issue for the gracious host of this site, the Lockman Foundation. Please feel free to repost if you have a bible study topic; not that you need my permission, just pointing out that this site is for bible study only. God bless, Jeff |

Welcome.... I'm thinking that your thinking of jealousy as it is commonly understood applied to people. An insecurity or something. Consider the context in which the word is used. If you still don't understand it post again. God bless, Jeff |

29 | What do we have as a conseqence of goda | Bible general Archive 4 | jlhetrick | 208550 | ||
It's not a short answer; you will have to study the Scriptures in prayer for the big picture. Consider: 1. forgiveness 2. Reunification with God 3. salvation 4. made new 5. trials and sufferings 6. comforted .... and the list goes on. If you have a good study bible or electronic bible library you can do word and topic studies on the above to get started. As the Lord reveals Himself through His word you will be nothing short of amazed at the consequences of His grace. Hope this helps, Jeff |

D.W.- If you haven't already, I would like to point you to the "Search" box in the upper right of your screen. You can find good responses to this question already posted... the thread starting with post 64878 for example. Just type the number in the box and hit Search and start there. Both EdB and Tim Moran give good feedback on this. After you have read everything posted your question will likely be answered. Just thought this might be helpful and faster for you since you might be a while waiting on responses to come in. Hope this helps and welcome to the Forum. Jeff |

31 | how can we minister to homosexuals | Bible general Archive 4 | jlhetrick | 209127 | ||
Tyboswell- Welcome to the forum. Keeping it short (others will reply as well) I would say that we minister to homosexuals the same way we minister to every other sinner. It's not our place to ever tell someone their going to Hell... we don't know that. If you have the opportunity to talk to any person regarding his/her particular lifestyle, the best way to do that is with the Word of God. Straight and to the point should be the rule. Otherwise we might end up thinking we can some how present it in a way (our own way) that is somehow "more effective". Contrary to a lot of approaches out there today, there is simply no better counsel than the Word of God. No method of presentation is going to improve on it. We do well to consider Matthew 7:3 as well as we witness to others. Hope this helps, Jeff |

32 | i have some questions about dispensation | Bible general Archive 4 | jlhetrick | 209391 | ||
truth seeker68- welcome to the Forum! There are many of us here that can answer many questions about dispensationalism. However, it might be a better approach to type the word in the search box (upper right of your screen) and read to your heart's desire. I'm not saying that the questions can't be asked, but they might lead to a fire-storm of controversy resulting in violations of the Terms Of Use. The topic is highly controversial. Try the search box with words contained in your questions and see if you find what your looking for. God bless, Jeff |

33 | dispensaionalism bad doctrine | Bible general Archive 4 | jlhetrick | 209443 | ||
truth seeker68- having already done the research (study?) and having already arrived at a conclusion.... your question (or original post) wasn't intentionally baited was it? Not accusing, it's just from time to time we have a Lone Ranger show up here with established opinions that ask seemingly, innocent questions only to bombard the responders with prepared arguments to apparently make others look stupid and themselves "smart". It's a pride thing that almost always leaves the perpetrator with little or no credibility. You have called what many well accomplished and respected scholars believe "a false doctrine". Do you see now the reason for my warning. It's controversial and not well handled in this type of forum. Jeff |

34 | Obey Father and Mother | Bible general Archive 4 | jlhetrick | 209547 | ||
Dear Grace- God bless you and give you peace, I pray, in your parenting struggles. As a father of 4 and grandfather of two, I know how difficult the struggle can be at times. The forum, however, is ill-equipped to give parenting advise or really even begin to address anyones personal issues. The Church, of course, does have that responsibility and function, but it needs to be a function of the local church with people know you and more about your situation. You may or may not be terribly surprised at the potentially wild, outrageous, and poorly judged advise you might get from some on this or any forum. God bless, and I encourage you to seek local support. Jeff |

37 | betrayed by a friend | Bible general Archive 4 | jlhetrick | 210186 | ||
blessmimi1- welcome to the Forum. As a practicle rule we do not give relationship advise here as that is better accomplished in the local church. The StudyBibleForum is specifically and exclusively for bible study. The bible teaches that while anger might be justified, we are commanded not to allow our own sin to be a result. Direct and to the point, see Ephesians 4:26. God bless, Jeff |

38 | How to convince a personneed for chirst | Bible general Archive 4 | jlhetrick | 210875 | ||
jrcochran- welcome to the forum. The short answer is, you can't. Sometimes that is hard to accept, especially when it's a loved one we're concerned about. Only the Holy Spirit can convict a person in a way that they realize their sin for what it is while at the same time realizing the need for Christ. See John 16:8 to start with. They will never "see it" until God reveals it to them. Our responsibility is the witness of our own lifestyle, lived in obedience to the Lord according to His word. We can and should share the word with them, and then only trust God. Too often I have found myself trying to do God's part in convincing someone of the truth, including their fallen state and need for a savior. It's frustrating and defeating. What has helped me is to remember that God has not given me the responsibility to convince anyone; He has only called us to tell it. See Mark 16:15 God bless, Jeff |

DD- welcome to the forum. Type in the word "Hell" in the search box (upper right of the page) and see if the multiple posts on the subject are helpful to you. The topic has been discussed much on the forum so sometimes it's quicker to search out the topic verses waiting on new responses. Hope this is helpful, Jeff |
