21 | Why not use Yahweh for LORD? | Bible general Archive 1 | farout | 39849 | ||
Is it possible this is selective translation. In the NT Baptize is transliterated from greek directly into english? There are some who think this was done so the type of baptism, sprinkled or dunked is not delt with in what some think it should be. The term "God" is use every where for a general use for a supreme being. "I am" or Eloi or Yahweh perhaps might be more specfic and meaningful? | ||||||

Perhaps I am wrong but to me it seems you have a mistrust of bible scholars, preachers, and Ordained Ministers. I am ordained, and consider myself to have done some scholary work. I do not consider myself better or knowing the Bible better than anyone else. I am one who is growing in faith. I have a pretty complete supply of materials to look up answers. I some times ask questions to start a dialogue with others for mutual growth and edification. Should you not want to join such a dialogue, please consider if insulting and demeaning other christians, makes you come accross as impatient, and harsh. Which none of my questions are ever ment to be. Forgive me if I have not understood you correctly. Peace, farout |

23 | Enjoy a beer | Bible general Archive 1 | farout | 40410 | ||
Does anyone believe the wine Jesus made at the wedding was not fermented? I doubt it was as strong as whats made today. The real issue is what ever I do does it hamper others growth. If I were so minded that a glass of wine in my home with my wife was something we did and kept it to ourselves, then it becomes between us and God. If I drink to get a buzz thats not good. A lot of personal responsibility is in your heart to God. If in doubt don't. There are several non fermented wines and beers out in the market you know. | ||||||
24 | Jesus is our Father, who is our Mother? | Bible general Archive 1 | farout | 40489 | ||
The God the Father Son, and Holy Spirit are the three in one. This is a subject that many, many, many, have spoke on, written on, and there are endless examples to try and explain the three in one. Ultimately it comes down to having faith to believe what the Bible says. God is not male or female. God in complete. Some have said the Holy Spirit is more feminine nurturing kind of qualities. So God is totally complete to accomplish what ever are the plans God has. Hope this helps a little. God bless, farout |

25 | Pretribulation or slightly after ? | Bible general Archive 1 | farout | 42585 | ||
I am a pre-millenniumist, however I am finding it very hard to believe a pre-tribulation view. To me it seems to point that the world is, and will continue to become more wicked. at some point, which only the Father knows, Christ will rapture His church. So my question is, is not there tribulation now for Christians in the worls? If Things must get worse then would not a slightly, say 10 to 20 percent into the tribulation view be more accurate? I find it hard to fit in seven weeks here and grab some information somewhere else and fit it into a nice little package. Darby did not come up with the pre-trib theory ubtil 1820. From what I have read early church fathers did not think this way. I would really like some indepth references or factual answers. God Bless, farout@onemain.com |

Brother CDBJ: Thank you for sharing your personal pilgrimage in studing the Truth. I too have been studing for eschatology for nearly 20 years. I believe by what you say we are on the same track. I am totally in agreement in the fact some eschatological experts theories have been forced to fit and the students they have taught their theories rather than how to search and study the Word for themselves. Study requires time and reading, something that is sadly lacking in many christians today. My study has brought me to basicly the same conclusion, except I am persuaded there will always be tribulation for the christian. Tribulation seems to get greater and more evil to the point of the rapture. My seeking is at what point will wickedness get to the point whem the Rapture will happen? No man knows only the Father. So how can certian authors who make a living out of ploting out the rapture, who will be left behind, and what mark they will receive be so utterly pin point positive? This appears to me as a money making fear tatic by so called expert "Eschatologist". Jesus said over and over when you see this or that the time is not YET. Which leads me to believe we may have many more years of birth pains to go through before He returns. I find it hard to fit exact little pieces of scripture taken out of context and put it together with another verse some where else and call it conclusive proof of the exact coming of Christ. That to me is a serious misrepresentation of Gods Holy Word. So...I did look at web address you suggested. I did not mean to shoot any darts. I wanted to hear if anyone else had struggled as I have trying to make these theories align with what the Word said. Thank You for personal touch. Peace in Christ, farout |

28 | is masterbation a sin explain thxs | Bible general Archive 1 | farout | 46797 | ||
Dear Tecnotrog, and Turkish: Your question and answer are truely amazing. First, do everyone a favor fill out your personal profile. Then we would know if we are dealing with a person who genuinely wants a real honest answer. In turn Tecnotrog, are you for real? Were did you study human sexuality? What verse of scripture did you take out of contex to come up with such a false uneducated answer? Do you honestly believe that a person male or female needs to fantasise and think about having sex with someone inorder to pleasure ones self? If you do, them YOU have a problem! What do you think the reason our bodies grow to the point that sexual gratification is possible? You mean only married persons are to enjoy sexual pleasure, while awake? I would say any male who by the age of 16 or so, who say they have never pleasured themselves, that they were not being honest. God gave this means of relief and pleasure to all humans, this is the healthy truth. I am not refering to being involved with paper picture sex, or anything of the sort. But Even Paul said to learn to control your vessel, or body. If a man or woman has not learned how to pleasure thenselves, and control their sexuality, then it will be a rough road in life. Married or unmarried, God has made us so what ever state we are in, we can still enjoy this gift of pleasure. I am not saying to take this to excess, but there is a healthy sexuality that is not a sin. Because people have taught that self pleasure is a sin, we have some people thinking sex is dirty and sinful. Did not God create you? Why did he give you the ability to have pleasure? If he did not intend it for your good, then tell me why. If you mean that only married persons can enjoy sexual pleasure, then you are in denial of the way life really is. I have given a direct honest answer to both of you. I only hope you have the integrity, and wisdom to face your humanity, that God made. I believed that for too long christians put their head in the sand and pretended that sex was easier to call sin, rather than face the facts as life really is. Perhaps if our sexuality were dealt with in a pure christian way, the world would jnotice that christians are different. Many christians have a baby on the way before they get married. The percentage of pregnant bride is the same as non-christians. What does that say? Have men and women learned self control? If not then why not? Think on this. Peace, farout |

29 | after death, right then, what? | Bible general Archive 1 | farout | 46801 | ||
I am questioning my view of death. For most of my life I have been taught that upon my death I would be in heaven. However I recently heard a speaker say that we stay in a state of waiting to be raised when Christ returns. I can read where sleep is refered to as death. When it says in the N.T. concerning those who have fallen asleep. I feel rather ignorant, because I have studied this, and felt I had the answer. Now, I am not so sure. I would like some feed back, as this is sorta bugging me. Thanks for your input. Peace, farout |

30 | Are women allowed to be pastors? | Bible general Archive 1 | farout | 46809 | ||
There are many women Pastors today. Women Pastors have a long history in our country, from the early ehghteen hundreds. I have never been in a church with a woman as pastor. I have a bias that is hard for me to justify. I feel uncomfortable with the idea of having a woman as my pastor. For me I have seem some feminist agenda with women who were in seminary studing to be a pastor. From my view some of the women leaned to excepting a more liberal theology, supporting liberal issues. I do not see homosexuality, N.O.W. as acceptable from a biblical standpoint. I am not saying all women were or are like that. I am just not real sure I would fit in with a church that had a woman pastor. I would if the church had a husband and wife as co-pastors. Perhaps I would go if she were an assistant pastor. I will say I do not believe in men counseling women, or women counseling men. This has crushed many of pastors and marriages. At all costs we need to prevent any hint of wrong doing, and protect each other. I hope this helps. Peace, farout |

34 | Need Advice... to change Church to be a | Bible general Archive 1 | farout | 47303 | ||
Dear Grace7044: You do not say what it is that you are unhappy about. Why did you start going there in the first place? What led you to believe this was where God wanted you to be back at the first? I would say if there is unsound doctrine or unbiblical teaching, then by all means leave, but tell the pastor why you are leaving. Perhaps it is because there is no one in your age group and you feel out of place. Again I would make sure the pastor knew why you want to look for greener pastures. I would leave with kindness and love, so nothing hampers your guidence in finding the Lords Place for you. Maybe you are being valled to see a need at the church you now attend? Pray about it, and then act. Peace, farout |

36 | Is it wrong to use condoms? advise | Bible general Archive 1 | farout | 47316 | ||
Dear Effie: After reading you question, I too learned how to use the QUICK SEARCH, and I have used the forum for about a year. So it is never to late to learn something. After reading the QUICK SEARCH answer on condoms, which was quite good, I would like to add something for think tank. My wife and I have been married for almost thirty four years. We have had three daughters ages 15, 22, 32, and one son age 28. Our last daughter was born when my wife was 37, and I was 42. Our children are rather spaced out. I jokingly say it took me that long to recover between each one. I was there for the last three in the delivery room. Except our second had some complecations amd I was asked to step outside. However for the last two I was ther when the first sign of their had showed. I will treasure those times forever. I also will say if I were a woman I would never get pregnant! Birth is painful and how women do it is amazing to me. Over the years we used the IUD in ignorance, the pill for a very short time, and the Spounge for several years, and finally birth control foam. We used that for many years. But it must be used correctly and consistantly. However that applys to any method. Condoms have a high failure rate for many reasons, and they are costly. Some couples feel that condoms interfer with a certian closeness. All birth control interfers with fertilization, and prevents implantation of the zigoat. For us we felt surgical birth control for either of was not right. For us that so interfered with the chance that God might have something else in His will, that we might interfer with. For us it was our last daughter, she has been a blessing beyond words. I will be 62, when she turns 20. I have been mistaken for her grandpa a couple of times and we have taken care of that instantly. That has been the fun humoris times. She keeps us young ond on the go. She is an aunt to a nice three years younger than she. Many places in the world have only the most prinative methods of birth control, at high failure rates. I would assume in Mary and Joseph life after Jesus they too had to deal with this issue as well. I am convienced that the Lord does supply if we are people of faith. I am equally sure that what ever you and your husband decide to do, should be a matter of viewing your health. I think it is unhealthy for you to have a baby one right after the other. Perhaps even dangerous, and deffinately is a health risk. Where would you husband be if you passed on, with three small children? There is a natural birth control based on the time of ovulation, and checking mucus. I do not know a lot about it but there is a group of women that have these books in any large book store. Not only that but a trip for both of you to your OBGYN Doctor with you husband, might be a good place to get all the current information. I do know Depo Povara is something my work at the Crisis Pregnancy Center found caused long lasting problems. I admire your courage to ask your question. I have tried to be open obout our sexual love life, and hope this will not only help you but others as well. Love your children, and never neglect the love between you and your husband, that love should be first, so the family will stay intact as God intended. God Bless you and your family. Peace, farout |
