21 | Am I Biblically free to marry? | Bible general | justme | 243755 | ||
Three wise men have given you advice based on the Bible. It really hurts to read how you have lived your life. I can not encourage you enough to seek a Godly Christian counselor. You have lived your life for the flesh and now you are reaping those difficult weeds you planted. I am sure this hurts, but given what you have said I don't think Biblically you should consider marriage. However I have the feeling you may not except the advice and opinions offered here. If you search long enough someone will tell you its ok to remarry. I can only hope you find a genuine Bible believing gifted counselor that can take the time to go over your several marriages and help you see where your responsibility is in their failure. God does hold the man more responsible for being the head of his house. I am being blunt, and I hope you will search your heart and ask God to help you walk the rest of your life with Him and Him alone. Blessings. justme |

22 | Am I Biblically free to marry? | Bible general | justme | 243754 | ||
Brother Beja, very well said. I have only recently had to deal with a Christian couple wanting a divorce and no biblical justification for this to take place. Hard hearts, don't listen. The church we go to felt we did not know what we were talking about. We were the ONLY people in the church that saw this was against Scripture. We have been ill treated, and this has hurt my wife deeply. But standing with the Word is always costly, but near as being on the wrong side of what god ex. I am so glad to see you back, God bless you dear brother. Justmepects |

23 | Titus 1:8 the word "holy"? | Not Specified | justme | 243693 | ||
Titus 1:8. In the list of what an Overseer must be the Greek text says "Holy" right after the word "just". The NASB the word "HOLY" is not there. I wanted to know what other versions either included the word "Holy" or left it out. Of the most commonly used and a few not so common versions my research was a little confusing. The KJV and the NASB left out "Holy", but the HCSB, ESV, NIV, and the 1611 KJV and the NKJV had the word "Holy. And to add to my wonder, the American Standard Version which the NASB is based on has the word "Holy'. But the KJV of 1778 and the NASB of 1960, and the Updated NASB does not have the word "Holy". I wonder if anyone has some idea as to why when the Greek has the word "Holy", yet some versions have left it out? If the Greek did not have the word "Holy" this would be understandable, but its there. |

25 | Are we to bless Israel? | Not Specified | justme | 243626 | ||
The Jews of today living in Israel, are they seem by God as His special people? Are we today to bless them as the promise in the OT that if we bless them God will bless us? I hear this a good much of the time on some Christian radio prograns. I am concerned as if anyone, including the Jews reject Jesus as their LORD they too will go to hell if they reject Christ.

27 | SEARCHING FOR THE TRUTH | 2 Tim 2:15 | justme | 243625 | ||
EdB; yes many once solid Bible colleges and seminaries have fallen away from their first LOVE. The Seminary my wife and I went to , I graduated in 1989, is now one I can no longer support. This is heart braking. But this is also true for once solidly Biblically based Churches sad to say. I wonder if the falling away we see is not a strong indicator of Jesus return. I feel more in line with Historical Premillennialism. But time will tell if I live long enough. Blessings Ed. justem |

I do not know him much at all. I went to college with him and took all my Bible, theology, and religious classes with him. He was an outstanding student, and so dedicated to his work with the LDS. I was certain he would be a man God would be able to use in a mighty way. I am so glad you got to hear and know him. Is replacement theology the same as reformed? I am confused about what reformed churches are and really unsure how Calvinism fits into all this. Can you educate me an this, please? Justme |

DOC, Thanks. I had the first one and studding the second one. I wanted to know if you know of or heard Dr. James White with aomin.org I went to Grand Canyon College with Him back in 83-85. H e is a solid Calvinists and he speaks all over the US and world. I listen to hem once and a while. A real good NT is THE NEW TESTAMENT IN THE LANGUAGE OF THE PEOPLE by Charles B. Williams. Have you ever heard of it? His NT was made for rendering the Greek into a readable translation. My Prof. Dr. William Coble at Mid Western Baptist Theological Seminary required it for my NT class. I never have known such a kind spirit filled person like him in all my life. He is teaching Jesus Greek now I am sure. I will look over my files and maybe I can find something worth sharing. Gods day to you brother. Justme |

EdB seldom have I run into a person reading the NWT but it has happened maybe twice, by their ignorance, as it was given to them by a JW. I used the 1985 NIV a lot at first, and as I grew that changed to the old NASB as it was nore accurate, but the OT was still hard read from. I have worn out two NASB Bibles and I have decidedto live my life out with them, its to much work to remember just where all the notes I have made in a new Bible. Not only that a well used bible has a very nice feel to it. I remember this from some where, I do not remember where, " a bible falling apart is a sign of a soul that is not." Justme |

Doc, I can't understand how people of any age that can read can not understand the KJV. Heck I was raised on it from when I first started Sunday School. I put it to memory, and still today quote it first rather that what I have learned as an adult. Frankly, people do not how to think throught problems or reading the English of 60 years ago. Today many schools only teach youngsters how to PRINT, no cursive any more. My local school just this year changed their mind and are once again starting teaching cursive in second grade. But my grandchildren say they can not read my notes I have to print. The NASB when updated was a wonderful move, but I still have a older NASB, I used to have an American Standard Version Bible I bought in Seminary, but lost in a move or two. The Holman Christian Standard Bible is IMO is excellent Bible in addition to the NASB as I study. I like how it used Yahweh in the OT and in the New it uses Messiah in the places it should read as such. For me if the NASB would use these names of God and Jesus Christ where is calls for it then the NASB would be just about perfect. Justme I |

In a recent question I began to question just what do Christians really know about the version of the Bible they are reading? For example the newest NIV (after 1985 version) is a mixture of the Todays NIV and the NIV making it a gender neutral, version which is a very liberal version of the Bible. The ESV is really a tweaking of RSV Bible. Bothe of these Bible fit well into the more liberal Denominations, and pastors. All to often I have encountered believers who are unaware of what the words "liberal", "gender natural", "Formal Equivalence", "Dynamic or Functional Equivalence", and the newest description "Optimal Equivalence" and finally what a "Paraphrased" The Message is one such paraphrased Bible. All to often people have no idea what kind of Bible they want. I have been friends with a Christian Book store owner. He has said many came into his store and really having no idea what translation of the Bible they wanted, if they wanted a Study Bible, or were surprised at the cost of Bibles. By far the most popular Bible was the NIV, even when he tried to show how much better the NASB, and some other translations were. Sadly the Bible that gets the most advertisement in Christian magazines is the NIV. ( as a side note I have seen the NASB more recently). I wondered and asked him what profit he made form his bookstore annually and he said he made less than 2 percent profit. the reason is people buy from Amazon, which sells more pornography than all other stores combined. He told me that such places buy huge amounts of Bible they can sell them cheaper than he bought them for. Will the Local Christian Book store be able to survive in the next ten years? By the way my friend lost almost seventy-five thousand dollars in ten years and went out of business last year. What as Christians should we do? Buy from a national branded book store like Life Way, Family Book stores, Lemstone, or other local book store that has Bibles. Unless Christians begin to support especially local Christian Bookstores they may well go the way of so many stores that once were but no more. The Bible I highly and completely recommend with no hesitation is the NASb and close to that is the Holman Christian Standard Bible. Why? they are Developed and translated by all Christian people who saw the Bible as God's inspired Word, Inerrant in the original manuscripts. Because they started with the right foundation the Bible translation the finished with is solidly dependable and trustworthy. my last word is be careful when selecting your next Bible. justme |

EdB, I can confirm this. The man was NOT involved in the translation of the NASB. Some how in his mind he has embellished his position as well his connection to the NASB. On a side note I did like the ESV for two reasons. "The Holy Bible, English Standard Version (ESV) is adapted from the Revised Standard Version of the Bible, copyright Division of Christian Education of the National Council of the Churches of Christ in the USA. All rights reserved." First theRSV is a liberal version and in the 1950 time period has huge uissues with conservative denominations and was rather heated for many years. For Me the Nation Councel of Churches in a round about way is supportive of liberal churches which at this time support gender neutral translations. I am conservative in my theology and will not support the ESV in any way whatsoever. John 3:16 justme |

A hearty welcome to the SBF maureenash. The Bible says as Christians we are to be honest and IMO upfront with our integrity in all we do. Matthew 5:16 we are to do good works. I being an older guy who got my BA and two Masters degrees did most all of it with only a typewriter and a dictionary. The last year of my last Master Degree I got a "computer of sorts" DOS operated and Word Perfect 3. No Grammar checker or spelling checker. My work was mine. Believe me when I said term papers took all the semester. I am not sure if you are advertising a service, but this is not acceptable here, as it is a Study Bible Forum. Thanks for your understanding. justme |

I believe the NASB to be one of the Best Bibles a person can have for word for word. Thank you goes to Lockman. I honestly believe the SBF is worth saving. I will pray and after the Lord Jesus leading I plan to call Pike and talk with him. Please join me in prayer for the correct words to say. justme |

Doc, you kind words are very much appreciated. I especially praise you for ALWAYS using Scripture in you replies. Many times a persons words come out just as words in a response, but for me Scripture shows you go the little extra to put on the balm that we all so need. I got an email from pike, as I could not sing in die to forgetting my password. My password was remembered by my computer. Our house and our 2014 Ram 1500 was hit by lightening and it killed the computer and all the electronics in our house. The magnetic interference destroyed all the modules in our truck and quite a lot of electronic gizmos in it. The Trucks final bill came to a hair under forty four hundred dollars. Thank the Lord for automobile Insurance. At any rate when Pike sent my pass word he said the update for the NASB should be out in mid 2017, I am excited to see it. Well thanks again. justme |

EdB Thank you for your kind remark. I tried to email you but it comes back that yahoo is no longer a server for emails. What? I have not see any agenda that anyone is doing other than the way Lockman has backed or approved of. As people with OSN sometimes we all can get a little impatient. OSN stands for Old Sinful Nature. I Heard from Pike and the Update on the NASB should come out sometime in the middle of next year. I am looking forward to it coming out. Justme |

40 | The SBF what does it need to do? | Not Specified | justme | 243418 | ||
I am going to be bold here. The SBF has very few who post any more. We have prayed about this for sometime. I would like to open this up to suggestions as to what do you think the SBF needs to do to be alive and active once again. Be honest and even pray before you post. Lockman has dome a lot to keep the SBF up all these years. Now its time for us who are earnest about keeping the SBF relevant and a place we can be open with our questions and concerns about the Bible and our growth as Christians. Now its your turn what do we need to hear? |
