BradK (:-) These books are so much fiction that it's a wonder more pastors have not taken a stand against this mix mosh of fiction and truth. I have heard some say they surrendered to Christ after reading these books, but do they really know what was fiction and what was truth? I am a rather strict old bird on not missleading people. These books came out one at a time, and were rather costly, but profit was the reason for making them. I was raised on the KJV up until I was 20 or so, and it really was not that hard bathen. We have so much more accurate Bibles now and still we continue to feed our youn people books like the "Left Behind" books. They should be :Left Behind" in the trash can is my rather bold opinion. Blessings to you Brad. justme |

Humbleheart: You were forgiven before you asked. To ask forgiveness is a humbling experience, and it takes a tender heart do do so, you are a humbleheart. I want to encourage you to seek the voice of God in His Word. No drean or message given only to us is ever as dependable as the written Word of God. Always my need to know the will of God has come through being in the Word of God. God has spoken to me in such deep and personal ways by being in His Word. You can depend on the Lord revealing His direction for you by reading Scripture. You can never go astray in trusting the Word of God, the Bible. Blessings. justme |

Humbleheart: Why do you assume others do not know about the suations you mention? Even your statement about the church being safe is un true. Disn't you hars about the last two pastors being killed in the worship serivice, in the last 6 months? Ever had to stay with a parents who lost a child? How many pastors are called at all hours and to go to the hospital, or funeral home to be with a member. There are countless hours spent picking up parents at bars and sobering them up so they can go home. Do you have anyidea haw many pastors, elders, deacons have visited jails, got a meal and a place for a family to sleep, because they broke down in a vehicle passing their town and needed help? Friend, your ministry is no different or experienced in suffering with others to share the Gospel. HUMBLE yourself man. As an added little note, my father in law was a drunk. I rescued him so many time I could not count then. The bars he went to and most all bars are the same, a place that does not care if the money being spent was to buy food, clothes or the house payment, or medicine. Please don't tell me I don't know what it's like, I resentfully do. Try going to a hospice and spending time witnessing to those suffering without Christ. Take a mission trip to a third world country and actually work to drilla water well, or help the many AIDS patients without Christ. There is a huge need. Talking with a drunk about Christ is almost a waste of time, I know because I have been there. When a drunk calls a Christian a hypocrite and you do anything to slightly give the impression he might be right, them thats very wrong. Judging a drunk is not wrong because that is the condition that they are in at that time. You mention "The rape she can't get over". Well I as a pastor I have had children and wives tell me that their dad was the one while drunk molested them. That my friend is much harder to listen to. Because a Pastor is required by law to report this to the police. Drinking has dome more to destroy men and women, families than anything. Ever hear about MADD, ask those who lost a loved one because a bar allowed someone to drink too much and drive away. Friend many pregnant women go into bars and yes they do take their babies to partake of the drink they are drinking. You need to be more careful about the praise you give those who choose of their own free will to take part of this drug. If you are involved with a ministry with these people then be a witness, just keep in mind others of us have a calling as well, and see perhaps just as many come to christ. We just do not go about telling outers how much better our ministry is. Brother learn to show humility and show some heart. justme |

Humbledheart: Are you associated with any church that recognizes your ordained ministry? You need other believers that can support your unique ministry, and to whom you are accountable to. Any ministry needs the support of other believers to be praying for a person in such an outreach as yours. I sincerely hope you have the support as I have mentioned above. Ordained Ministers need to be set appart for ministry by other believers sending that person out. Self ordained ministers don't carry the much needed prayer support that ministry requires. There are no Lone Ranger Christians or Ministries that ever produce much fruit. No one but Jesus Christ saves anyone. At best we can tell others of Jesus and ask them if they would like to surrender to Jesus Christ. I personally have never counted, and I am sure I could and can say how many I have introduced to Christ Jesus. I will do better In what Time I have left on earth. Perhaps some Believers do witness as they walk in their everyday traffic patterns of life. I can not judge such a thing as to how many people someone has witnessed to. Some plant the seed others water the seed, and other harvest the crop. You seem rather critical of church. The church is not a building, it's a body of believers, who meet together in a place. I know of no church I have been apart of that had the attitude to let others go to hell. To say in gereral terms that churches do have such a go to hell attitude is rather judgemental, and I will not go there. Friend, YOUR attitude needs some humbling, and your heart is prideful. The attacks you have made are disrespectful, and unkind. If you attitude is as you represent youself here, you need to sit down and ask the Lord Jesus to show you how to share His love with other believers first, before you go out into the places you go. Unless the unsaved can see how you love the brothers and sisters in the body of Christ, then the world will never believe your witness. I pray you will reconsider your words, and humble your heart. justme |

humbleheart: Why didn't you state your question right up front and say you were the one singing in the bar. That makes me wonder if you felt someone might of disapproved of your outreach. In all your playing music in the bars ect. and elsewhere have you ever opened your Bible and introduced Christ to a unbeliever? If not, I would say you might better spend your witnessing time where satan is not in control. justme |

Manamayama1: You have the Holy Fathers ear and He hears you. Having had many sericos health problems, several time death was quite near. I have prayed for the Lord to put me in the center of His will. What a perfect place to be! What peace there is knowing I am exactally where God wants me to be. Prayer in groups often changes the people praying and God can use their sensivity and they can become His helpers and minsiter to you. I cling to Psalm 139, every verse is full of assurance that the Lord know our life and the days we have. What a help this Chaper has been to many over so many hundreds of years. If the only one praying for me, was me I have confidence and faith that God still moves and hears my prayers. I do not want to beg God for my will, but pray only for His direct will for my life. I sincerely hope that Psalm 139 is a light that will guide your in your time of need. Blessings. justme |

229 | "Women being silent" | Gal 3:28 | justme | 218379 | ||
Val: Your note is well done. My wife and have the same Seminary degrees and our beliefs and our understanding of Scripture are both the same as yours. I was not attempting to cause an outbreak of any kind. It just seems there is a genuine lack of allowing Culture to be involved in understanding Scripture. There is selective following of some verses. Example is the covering of hair. Thank you for you note. There is no reason for either side of this debate to disfellowship or be unkind to anyone. The fact is there is a majority of SBF that does not accept the fact women can be used of God in any position He seen fit. The same holds true for a man. Blessings. justme |

YenlsaRap: Scripture was always written to people living at the time. We look at what that ment atthe time of the writing, and what was going on at that time. That is History. We then look at the meaning for which this was written. that is application for those at the time of the writting. Why and to whom and what were the circunstances that caused it to be written about. Then we look to seen how that applies to today. This writing of Paus was directed because there was a problem at that time. Women who had little or no education were asking questions that were disrupting the teaching. This caused the teaching to be constantly interrupted. Thus Pauls instruction. That is in many Study Bibles and has been taught in conserative Bible Colleges and Seminaries. I do understand your position and this is not a point of disfellowship in my opinion. I think the time when we are able to see Christ Jesus face to face and after millions of years maybe we might have the time to ask paul what he ment. I dearly love all of you in the Study Bible Forum! I appreciate your love and kind respectful responce, as sometimes tempers get hot and unkindness brakes out. As Christians there are some non debatable areas and we both fully know those. I am so pleased that you took the time to right back. God belss you YenlsaRap. justme |

savedsince1980: Welcome to the Study Bible Forum. There are many places in our country that jobs are just not there to find. My question to you is what about those in the church that can not find work of any kind. Even with those who work at looking for work in every way possible and can not even get work at a fast food place, what should the church do then. I personally have taken jobs that were considered the bottom of the barrel jobs and know what it is to support a family of six. This was some years ago but I was willing to take anything. That being said there are places today jobs just are not there no matter how lowley they are. I have found that the disabled have it very hard in finding work. Often these people look healthy and in good shape, but some are suffering very serious health problems. That's where the disabled are often judged very wrong as being able to take just any job. Even while pastoring a small church I have worked at several jobs that kept me humble and in touch with the low paid hard working people in the church. So I fully understand the issues on how much we help those in financial need. My opinion is we should help those in need and let the Lord be praised in our love showed to those in need. By our love to one another the world sees how Christ loves us. What are your thoughts? justme |

239 | Why do we delay baptism, not His Supper? | Bible general Archive 4 | justme | 216777 | ||
Searcher: I see your point. In SBC churches baptisms are generally done within a short time after public confession. I know it is not true for all pastors, but there are some who go over scripture and give the person sonething to study to grow in the spirit and knowledge of Christ. Sometime durring the lessons when the pastor is convienced there is a genuine beliefe in Christ the person is baptised. I have seen many be baptised with no counseling or even a Bible given to the new Christian. Not giving any Scriptual counsel or even a Bible is my pet peave. To ignore some Scriptual counseling and making sure the person has a Bible is as important as baptism. We have to many uncertian believers that are not sure they are born again. This can only be corrected by the Pastors baptising these people. If the person walks in the invitation and askes to be baptised I see nothing to say we should not baptise then ASAP. As long as counseling follows. Many churches do not allow unbaptised people take Communion. Is that wrong? Blessings. justme |

240 | can a child be baptised | Bible general Archive 4 | justme | 216724 | ||
Hopalong:-) I am not in the camp that says you must be baptised to be saved, but when a person has been a Christian for a good length of time and refuses to be baptised, then I have some serious doubts that as to why they don't follow the Lord Jesus said to be. So there is a line that is dangerious to cross over. Would you agree? Blessings. justme |
