21 | Chapters and verses, how determined? | Not Specified | janet | 17783 | ||
Can anyone please tell me who and how it was determined to make the divisions in the books of the Bible, more specifically, the chapters and the verses. I have seen divisions in the middle of sentences as well as chapters. I had a teen ask me this and I just did not know how to answer the question. Thank you very much for the wonderful help I have received from this forum not only in this question but in answers you have provided to other people which have helped me. | ||||||

23 | A pastor who is there? | NT general Archive 1 | janet | 11766 | ||
I agree with Hank because I experienced something similar, but not completely. I had been attending a small church for well over a dozen or so years. I really was quite happy being there, everyone was like family. I loved watching children grow into teens, and the teens grow-up and get married and start families. When there was tough times, sickness, or death, the church family was there giving enormous support. It was very comforting and comfortable. That is why I was very surprised when I felt God leading me to a really big church. I could not understand it, I liked where I was and I loved the people. But He made it very clear to me that He wanted me to start attending this other church. I questioned Him alot. I even bulked at obeying Him, I was very confused and I, at first, refused. I told Him, that I would not be comfortable in such a big church because I would feel so lost, so unattached, I told Him I needed a church family". He very clearly asked me something that kind of floored me. He asked me what I thought heaven was going to be like...He made me realize that heaven is going to be very big with a big "family". I obeyed Him. I love my new church. I have grown spiritually by leaps and bounds in ways that I could have only done at this church under this particular shepherd who is teaching me so much of God's Word. I have seen more souls saved (praise God!)in the relatively short time I've attended the big church then I ever did the smaller church (in fact, at the smaller church, there was rarely alter calls). In addition, I am now in another "family" that is growing the more I get involved. My spiritual needs are being met in ways that I would never have imagined possible. Now please do not misunderstand me, I am not making a stand for big churches over little churches. What I am stating, however, is that we need to go where God wants us to be because He alone knows where we will grow. There is afterall only one "Church" and He is the shepherd. There may be many camps, with different heavenly assignments, but there is only one church. One other point. When I moved on to the other church, I was very hurt and confused with the way some of the people from the small "church" family treated me. They more or less "shunned" me (but many did not). Point: If someone you know feels the leading to change churches, accept it, understand they are being obedient and don't make it difficult for them, and most especially don't stop loving them. |

24 | How much submitting must a woman do? | 1 Corinthians | janet | 11667 | ||
Norrie, abuse can be an addiction. In some cases, the abusive person is actuallly addicted to that violent kind of behavior, whether it is physical or mental. Like an alcoholic, or a person addicted to pornography, the person strongly desires the behavior. If a person is addicted to abusive behavior they, of course, need help to break the addiction. Jesus is the answer for any addiction...He knows. Prayer is very powerful. Put it in God's hands and watch Him work. In the meantime, you may want to ask yourself, if your paticular circumstances are enabling your husband to feed on his addiction. If your loved one was an alcoholic and he wanted a drink, would you give it to them? If they were a heroine addict, would you provide the heroine and needle? The more they get fed their addiction the stronger and more fierce the addiction grows, and this is the case in all addictions. I do not know exactly what your circumstances are, but if you or especially your children are in danger, you need to remove yourself from harms way. If your husband is becoming or is addicted to abusive behavior, you may be enabling him to grow in his addiction by being present. Norrie, my prayers are with you. This is one of Satan's most powerful weapons to destroy families, because he uses love and guilt as additional weapons against you. There are many good Christian sources that can help you, search them out and most especially, pray and listen for God's guidance for you and your family. He loves you. | ||||||
