21 | Jesus died not for us | John 3:16 | justme | 242448 | ||
Welcome to the Study Bible Forum Mac4 Yuma. Your question is a little bit different from any I have seem before. Why do you say that the Bible or more specifically the New Testament does not support that Jesus died for them? (meaning me and you) Just in the book of John chapter three there are many verses that support that we must believe in Jesus, and specifically verse 36 it refers to "the one" meaning us as each person. John 17:14-19 is another Scripture that might help as well. Without Jesus paying the price for mine and yours and everyone who will accept Him as their payment for their sins then each person makes the choice to be responsible for their own sins. God forces no one to become a follower of Jesus Christ. However those who reject the offer of Jesus dyeing and shedding His blood for their sins, then they are by choice electing to separate themselves from God and His saved ones in a place reserved for their eternal keeping. That place is eternally being punished in hell. This is never Gods will, but our personal choice. Please feel free to respond and I will be willing to dialogue further with you. justme |

23 | How to explain seeing a ghost? | Heb 9:27 | justme | 242385 | ||
Aroundthebend: Welcome to the Study Bible Forum. I wonder if they has been involved with some activity that the Bible warns about staying away from? Demons are real and do show themselves as such things. You don't say if you family is involved with a Bible believing church or not. Has you family been taught the Bible? These are demonic things that people just laugh at and think are a fun thing, when in reality Satan is doing his best to attract people into witchcraft and games that draw people into his evil ways. I strongly suggest you talk to your pastor about this and ask him to give scriptures to encourage her about Jesus Christ and His protection and salvation that Jesus Christ offers to those who believe and become followers of Christ Jesus. I pray you will follow up on this ASAP. justme |

24 | Does God have an Elect set of people? | Rom 8:29 | justme | 242369 | ||
Welcome to the Study Bible Forum moonzzup. Psalm 139:16 is a good place to see where God says that God has written in His book all our days that have been ordained for us. I believe God knows who will become His follower and who will reject Him meaning Jesus Christ, then it can be said some will be chosen for His Kingdom and some will enter eternity in hell forever. The question is not does God make them go to hell, but rather He knows who will and who will not become a born again genuine believer In Jesus Christ. There is a fine line and it's all related to our free will which He knows before we are even born. I hope this helps. justme So if God knows who will be a genuine born again follower of Jesus Christ |

25 | Time limit of adultery in marriage | Bible general | justme | 242262 | ||
Rod: Welcome to the Study Bible Forum. On the surface 17 years seams like a long enough time to forgiveness to taken effect. However, there are other questions that come to my mind. Here are some issues that would hamper healing and cause a wife to disbelieve a husband was still, perhaps unfaithful. A wondering eye, always looking for women who expose their breasts in low cut tops. Looking at magazines that expose women's bodies, even clothing advertisements. You flirting with women. These are a few ways that would bring into question that a true repentant heart has taken hold. Now here is a issue for your wife, if she has not or can not reach a spot where the hurt was so great that she can't get the hurt out of her mind, and perhaps after 17 years that's not possible for her, what else can you do? She, as you state it for what ever reason be it a hard heart or some reason wants out. I can't help wonder where the LORD has ben in your marriage? Most always when this amount of time has passed and there is still unforgiveness, the LORD Jesus was ignored in the healing of damaged emotions. This marriage is not beyond healing. But, in order for complete healing to happen you must become a brand new man in Jesus Christ. This is not something that comes natural, only by becoming in love with the WORD of GOD, and by renewing you mind and your actions, thinking, and reactions is there any hope. Even with this it may well take the rest of your life to restart you marriage. As long as she remains single there is hope. But even is she remarries you have become a new creation in Christ a man who is now healed his soul and able to be a completely able to start a new relationship in Jesus Christ. May I suggest start reading the four Gospels and 1 and 2 Corinthians first. I sincerely hope you will take this long Journey into your healing. Few really do take this seriously, but for those who are really wanting wholeness the reward is a new transformed mind and soul. May you enter a journey that will last a lifetime in Jesus Christ. justme |

26 | How do I know / feel / experience God | 1 Cor 1:28 | justme | 241914 | ||
zeagel: I tool the time to read all your posts, and by the way welcome to the study Bible Forum. Your desire to "feel" or experience God is what we all desire, and if you din'nt I would think something was wrong....you are normal. I personally can say the times I feel closest to Jesus Christ is when I am really involved with reading the Bible. I mean more than a casual basis, but reading for perhaps a half an hour. That is how God speaks to you....by reading His word. The Holy Spirit teaches and reveals things to us that way. Prayer is very important, that's us speaking to God. Reading His Holy Word is allowing God to speak to us, and when we combine these in the proper balance we no longer feel we are missing something. As you grow and experience God in prayer and reading the Bible you will learn as Job did that feelings mean little. For instance some days I feel so close to my bride of almost 46 years, some days even if she in right next to me, I can feel distant. It really is how I am relating, not how things really are. Feelings can depend on how much pain I am in or how good I am feeling. Feelings are undependable. May I suggest you read John first and then 1John, they pretty much go together. Don't expect growth to come easy or fast, it takes time and hours spent in studying the Bible to become mature, I also want to tell you it's work, Satan will do all his tricks to stop you from growing in Christ.....it's his main effort to discourage you so you will give up and fall away. If you are a genuine Follower of Jesus Christ trials and tribulations Satan will do all he can to destroy your faith. I have seen lost of people show an interest in Jesus Christ, but gave up because it was too difficult or too hard to repent and leave the sins they were so attached to. I pray your faith will grow and prove you are a genuine born again follower of the Lord Jesus Christ. Blesings. justme |

27 | Faith like a mustard seed? please help | Luke 17:6 | justme | 241861 | ||
Greetings zeagle: Welcome to the Study Bible Forum. I can share some thoughts I have about faith, and healing, and suffering, all of my experiences seem to have been lessons hard learned. Let me start out by telling you today is my Spiritual Birthday, Jan. 6, 1957 I started my journey with Christ Jesus. I was 11q years old. When people start their faith journey as a child, At every age there were challenges that I struggled with to grow. So no matter how old a person is when we become a follower of Christ Jesus we have to keep growing, in faith, understanding Scripture, and learning how to communicate with our Father LORD GOD Almighty. Then there is being a part of a church body, so you can grow by the preaching of the WORD of GOD, by a Bible centered Pastor who loves His flock, feeds then and tends the congregation. How much faith does a mustard seed have? I always pray that I will be in the center of the Fathers will. If it is His will for me to suffer, than I know I won't be given more than I can endure. If it is the will of the Father to heal me or remove the suffering, I will love Him regardless of how I feel, good or bad. Because I know I am in the direct will of the Father. I hope this is making some understanding of how I experience being in His direct will. May I suggest you read Romans 8:28,29. Verse 29 is a key to times of suffering, as Jesus learned by suffering we too are not exempt and we become more in His likeness in suffering. I take James 5:13 to 16 very seriously, but sadly I am not sure how many ill or suffering people and ministers follow this healing. Please keep in mind how much most of the world is in deep almost unbearable suffering, and lack even the very basic human needs. Even still the LORD is with those Christians suffering in ways that death becomes a blessing. In Africa today there have been greedy false healers like Benny Hinn, who have taught seed faith healing. He has hoodwinked naïve poor people to "give money to God, and God will bless and heal you. So many people in Africa have been taken by these false teachings, and lies that brought more suffering, that many have rejected this false "Word of Faith" teachings, and have left any belief In Jesus. How deeply sad. In the long look of life, we are headed for facing God form our birth until we die. I can tell you the decades seen slow until your seventy and then is all passed to fast. I know what it is to suffer, cancer, Blood Clots in the lungs, months in the hospital, and serious health issues for 45 years, with just a few months without suffering. Jesus has been with me every minuet, and at times it has seemed unbearable, that I just could go one more step. But He gave me more steps as I think he picked me up at those hard times. Blessings Brother, keep your eyes on the eyes of Christ. justme |

29 | What Did Judas Do to be called Traitor? | Luke 6:16 | justme | 241740 | ||
Jeremiah: After 81 posts it's time you filled out something about yourself in the update user info. As most of have done so it would be nice to know more about you. Judas in Scripture has been said it would have been better if he had never been born. The quilt he felt (not repentance) caused him to kill himself. Judas was in the inner circle of those closest to Jesus. For Judas to turn Jesus in to be killed for 30 pieces of silver, is surely a betrayer, a traitor, would you not agree? justme |

30 | willful nonpayment of debts? | John 14:15 | justme | 241645 | ||
Timley: I know od different people in the churches I was pastor that could not pay debts. Some do to being laid off, lengthy sickness, disability, divorce, homes destroyed by natural causes, fire, flood, and the death of a mate, child, the reasons are endless. The saying you can't get blood from a turnip is very true. If a person happened to be a generous helper to those in need, at some point they will be taken advantage of. I heard last night that over 50 percent of all people in the USA have Medical debt, that they most likely will never be able to pay. Our Medical system is unaffordable for many poor families. In fact our middle class has sunk deeply in the last decade, and debt reliefe in the courts has become more difficult. But credit card companies seem willing to lend money at 30 percent or more. Pay day loans can charge 400 percent or more, and mostly it's the working poor that get taken in by these usury type of loans. Timley we live in times where the poor do in fact get poorer. If Christians really followed God's WORD their money problems would be very few. justme |

Jeremiah: You seem unhappy with the way Lockman Foundation has set up this Study Bible Forum, and the Moderators that have been selected to oversee this forum. You either agree to follow the forums guidelines, or respectfully in a Christian like mannor leave and find a forum you can fit in better.

havohej: Welcome to the Study Bible Forum. No one living is exempt from having bad thoughts. Pastors are just as human, and sometimes I feel the old devil tempts pastors double time. Pray for your pastor, let your pastor know you are prayin for him. That's such an encouragement. justme |

33 | water to wine means drinking O.K.? | Gen 1:1 | justme | 241523 | ||
gbrainard: Welcome to the Study Bible Forum. Perhaps no other passage have people who do drink, bring as justification for drinking. As a pastor Many people would come and give verse as proof that drinking was acceptable in Jesus' opinion. But not so, the wine was reduced by 6 to 8 times, which is much different than today. I believe it's best for Christians to stay with soft drinks. That leaves no way to give a bad testimony. justme |

Frank" Welcome to the Study Bible Forum: My heath is quite poor. I have cancer, I have had blood clo5ts in my lungs where they said I was certain to die. I had a fungus in my lungs and body while in the Navy. I was in a naval Hospital for 9 months. I was told I would not live beyond 35, and could have no children. The drug I was given destroys the kidneys liver, heart and really messes with the veins. I had many spinal taps, and I have spine injurys, and I have to take medicine for thinning my blood. I have had numerous clots in both legs. My lungs are really poor, I have COPD. I am in pain much or the time. I pray to be in the center of the will of God. Nothing more nothing less. I will be 69 on June 29th, My wife and I will be married 45 years Sept. 5. And we have 4 adult children and 10 grandchildren. So dear Frank, God is in control.

nasus: Welcome to the Study Bible Forum. Angels are not male or female, and do not reproduce, therefore they could not have had sexual relations with humans. This is a falsehood repeated over and over the many years. The very best way to leran these things for yoyrself is to begin reading the Bible everyday for yourself. Begin with the New Testament in reading just 3 chapters a day you will read the entire Bible in one year. Blessings justme |
