21 | Who is Mary's father? | Not Specified | Norrie | 91741 | ||
Who is Mary's father? I've heard the tradition of Anne and Joachim and even read a novel perpetuating that myth but there is no Joachim listed in either of Jesus' geneologies. | ||||||
22 | What can you call someone? | Not Specified | Norrie | 101337 | ||
Matt 5:22 But whoever says "you fool" will be in danger of hell. Why? Jesus called the Pharisees snakes and vipers, washed tombs, hypocrites, etc. If someone really is what they are being called, is it OK then? | ||||||

Has anybodt got an opinion on "The Purpose Driven Life"? How many are in churches dedicating weeks to studying this instead of the Bible? | ||||||
24 | Greek, Peter, Rock? | Not Specified | Norrie | 106149 | ||
A friend asked this question and I have no idea, I figured someone here would know. What is it in Biblical Greek, the words used for "Peter" and "rock"? I'll bet they are quite similar, if not the same word. This is a discussion about Peter being the rock on which Jesus built His Church. I say the rock is the revelation of Jesus as Lord, not that He is establishing a head for the church, Jesus is the Head. | ||||||
25 | Church requirements for helping others? | Not Specified | Norrie | 121129 | ||
Who can the church help and what are the requirements? My mil is involved in a contraversy at her church because they refuse to help her. They said they can only help widows and orphans and a widow is the wife of one husband and can't have any living children. Is this true? Of course that doesn't stop the pastor from hitting the food bank or this family w/a bunch of fat kids that eat like hogs... | ||||||
26 | Roman guard myth? | Not Specified | Norrie | 122125 | ||
Where did the myth about Roman soldiers guarading the Tomb come from? In Matthew it says temple guard, depending on which translation, but Pilate said basically YOU guard it. The guard is not mentioned in other gospels but all passion plays, story books, etc say Roman guard, not temple guard. | ||||||
27 | Denounce militant Islam? | Not Specified | Norrie | 131455 | ||
Why are Christians so scared to denounce militant Islam? I received a commentary about Islam needing denouncing, esp by Muslims if they think what the militants do is wrong and received varying responses but usually went like this: Islam must be fought, not with weapons of war, but with the weapons of righteousness that we carry in the right hand and the left. Love thy enemy. Feed him, and bring burning coals upon his head. These people are zealous for God, but their zeal is not based on knowledge. *** If these people are slamming planes into bldgs, killing innocents children, etc, we are supposed to love and feed them instead of going to war against them? I don't seriously think saying I love you, Jesus loves you, let's share a hotdog is going to stop the killings, which is what must be stopped. We're not talking individual reachout, this is more on widespread govt basis. What am I missing here??? |

28 | Why does God send storms? | Not Specified | Norrie | 133130 | ||
Why does God send storms? Maybe to wake us up or maybe to show how we can handle adversity? I know I was blessed going thru Ivan, we were on the west side, the east side is where all the damage was. I lost power for a week but considering what others are still going thru, that was a walk in the park! I praise God He brought us thru this so well. We are truly blessed. |

30 | Purpose Driven Life? | Bible general Archive 2 | Norrie | 101360 | ||
This book is by a Rick Warren? I just called Mama and that's what she said. I'm not reading it or doing the study, it's a 7 wk thing. My Thur. Bible teacher isn't too thrilled about it. Says he uses about 15 different versions of Bible and most are corrupted versions, finds whichever fits his purposes. I get a yucky feeling going to church since they started it too. I heard there is a seeker sensitive movement that started quite a few years ago that basically boils down to not saying anything that will offend a seeker so gospel gets watered down. I heard this guy is one of the leaders in that movement. At Sun School we were going thru Phillippians, then going to start another, instead we're doing this. I just don't want to study somebody's book instead of the real thing. I'm working in library instead of SS till this is over. Oh, the kickoff at church 2 wks ago, the pastor actually used clips from Everybody Loves Raymond in his sermon. Several people started to walk out then. |

I've heard churches all over the country are doing this, making him (Rick)rich is all! It reminds me of the old saying about jumping off the pier just because everybody else is doing it. I refuse to participate and we just got a new pastor. This does not endear me to him either. :( Oh well, I'll see what happens when this is over, see if we go back to Bible or keep up w/Hollywood...I'd hate to have to go church shopping after all this time... | ||||||

Like Living Bible, Message, paraphrases instead of real translations. I know that a few scriptures they put on screens so we don't have to bother looking up, I looked up real quick and was shocked when I found out what they were in NKJ. Matt 6:6 and Rom 12:1-2 were two that what they put up there didn't even resemble what's in my Bible. But don't ask me what they put, it was so fast, it just flashed it for the time he was reading. That makes me leary too, to be that organized...ain't much room for Holy Spirit to work when it's that tight... I haven't read book, just going by what a man I trust says and he's an elder, Gideon, Bible teacher...what I'm exposed to during Sun service doesn't thrill me, I feel like I'm watching an X rated movie my spirit feels so tormented being there. |

That's how I feel but it doesn't seem to be the consensus. What's that tell you? "Give it a try, you might get blessed..." | ||||||
35 | Purpose Driven Life? | Bible general Archive 2 | Norrie | 101840 | ||
I just listen to it in worship, go work in library thru SS and maybe hit last 10 min or so to show up. It may be OK but I'm protesting not doing Ephesians as scheduled before this came up. | ||||||

What get me is this is our NEW pastor that everyone is so crazy about. We've been having problems w/pastors. Our church had a wonderful pastor for 25 yrs, then he quit to be like a minister to pastors and we were w/o a pastor and had interin for 3.5 yrs. Then we got our next one which I thought was great too, I really liked him also, got his tapes to relisten to sermons even, he left after 2 yrs to be closer to his aging parents. We were w/o pastor for another year, had good interim, then got this one and everybody seems to be bowing down to him. I just never got enthusied and it doesn't look like I will either...esp. after this. He was good before this but I just didn't connect w/him. I don't know, I stuck w/the church thru everything and we got along fine thruout all those years of interims but some people just have to have the real pastor I guess. Attendance is up, more people getting involved so I guess that's good, but still you wonder, are they fair-weather Christians since they didn't hang in thru the interim. |

Pastor does his whole sermon on this weeks study. There are some good things, I'll admit, but I was shocked at some of the scriptures one week, when I looked them up real fast in pew Bible and saw which ones they were, they didn't even resemble what was on screen...of course they flash it so fast, you can't really compare. Oh, pew Bible is NKJ and that's what I have too so unless I want to write in mine, during service it's easier to just grab theirs anyway. :) I quit bring my Bible to church during this because we don't need it, scriptures are posted on screen and it's whatever version they're using at the time, they pop on while he's reading it and then it's popped off so you can't really look at it. Since we aren't going thru the Bible in SS, why bother bringing it??? |

NEW means just that, he's new. Seeing as how after Fred left, we haven't had much luck w/pastors, esp. after I got attached to Allan and he left, maybe I just don't want to get attached in case he leaves maybe, who knows. I just didn't go "oh yes" when they first presented him. I've been listening to him and he is good, just not good enough to say brag on him to my husband and try to get him to come hear him in hopes of him getting saved. Then he started this and I know for sure this would not get my husband interested enough to come to maybe get saved either even tho there are people going up at invitation. I'm just waiting to see what's going to happen I guess. I'm not going anywhere really unless he started preaching heresy. But I don't like this jumping around w/all the different versions and this book thing... | ||||||

I understand what Tim is saying and what you're saying. If it ever gets like you described, I'll be out of there but hopefully it won't. I just can't help but wonder why since he came, the church is so filled/popular-are they coming for him or for Jesus? That pastor is NOT why I go to church, I go for Jesus. It helps to have a preacher who gives the Word the way it should be and we've always had the Word preached, I just don't like it coming from a particular book that's not the Bible and has all those different versions as it's base... | ||||||

We are a LARGE church, there are many, many classes, at 8 and at 11 (church is at 9:30) but EVERY class is doing this program. You're Baptist, right? You know that Explore the Bible series, that's what we were doing and stopped it for this. I'd rather Explore the Bible. Many of the classes do the Explore the Bible but there are others that do other things, like you said. But this is a requirement for ALL, even the youth classes are doing it, nobody is exempt, you have no choice period. That's what I don't like, reminds me of a dictatorship. I don't like being told you WILL study this book, it just doesn't sit right w/me so I'm a rebel, I refuse to study it. They even had stands set up in foyer so you could buy your copy and everyone was supposed to get it. All I see is a conspiracy to make this Rick guy rich, wonder if they get kickbacks. I know that's terrible but I can't help it, that's how I feel about it. |
