241 | 1689 Confession 1st or second? | Not Specified | justme | 242539 | ||
I have heard and read some mention about "THE LONDON BAPTIST CONFESSION OF FAITH" of 1689. When I looked it up, there is a second confession of the 1689 as well. I looked for a complete Confession to print from the web site. However what I found was a huge number of sections. Is there a place that has the confession where it can be printed? Is there a short summary version of the Confession? Thanks, justme |

242 | What would you do? | Not Specified | justme | 242564 | ||
In recent days we have witnessed an elected State Official refuse to obey a Supreme Court order. That High Court decision violated what the elected officials Christian belief in what the Bible says to them. this causes me to question what I would be willing to say "no that is against what the Bible says". I question at place and time will Churches in the United States have to defend what the Bible says against those who are anti-Christian, anti-church anti-Bible, anti-religion, anti-God? I believe as Christians we are facing a time of oppression at the least. The book FOXE'S BOOK OF MARTYRS is a book worthy of every Christian to peruse over once in a while. In FOXE'S BOOK OF MARTYRS many actual events of Christian's suffering for their faith are recorded for our encouragement to stay faithful. I feel that even today many are suffering for their steadfastness faith in the LORD JESUS CHRIST. Here is my question. If the United States government took away our religious freedom of speech, and worship, limiting what your Pastor can preach (example Romans 1) like what has happened in most countries in Europe and in Canada; what is your Biblically based belief, and thinking on what you should do? Please use Bible verses to base your answer. justme |

244 | Whst should we do to protect ourselves? | Not Specified | justme | 242740 | ||
Christian in WW II especially in Europe literally fought to keep Hitler from taking their countries. I am aware that large number of Christians prayed for his death. Today we have ISIS. Even yesterday 12:2:15 more that 13 people were killed by a Muslim couple close to what some say is an ISIS group. I have read the a good portion of the Qur'an. How can anyone believe such a hateful religion. Muslims are taught in the Qur'an that Jews and Christians are evil and deserve death. What I call good the Qur'an says is good. Often I have brief contact with Muslims. The experience is neither good or bad. More like I am totally ignored, or in a store the isle is blocked so you can not pass due to their numbers. There is no way to witness at all. I find the men as unrecognizable as being Muslim. There is always one or two men watching over the women as they shop, and they make it clear that they are there to protect and watch over the women. This is a difficult situation as the Mosque that is located in this area was caught by the US Government authorities sending funds to terrorists groups a few years ago. Here is my question besides praying for Muslims, and fearing what this religion may do just what should we do to be prepared to do incase of a up rising? |

245 | APOLOSTIC BIBLE POLYGLOT ? | Not Specified | justme | 242744 | ||
does anyone know anything about the APOSTOLIC BIBLE POLYGLOT? I am in a dialogue with a man who uses this Bible and we are not communicating about Scripture in a very good way. I have no idea what this Bible is. He believes Jesus was not from the beginning, but existed after God created Him. I fully disagreed with him but I am struggling with him. justme |

247 | The WORD for today | Not Specified | justme | 242819 | ||
For many years I have posted I wish all of you on the Study Bible Forum MERRY CHRISTMAS May we always remember that God coming in the form of a baby is a wonder beyond our understanding. Surely the greatest wonder of all is why would Gods ONLY SON die on a cross and pay for each of our sin's and rise from death, why does He love us so? Who really can truly grasp the awesomeness of God as a baby, or Jesus paying the price to redeem us ? Who can explain the trinity, or how He hears our prayers let alone answers them? Who can understand how the Holy Spirit prays with groaning's for us? How does the Holy Spirit can convict and teach us? Bigger yet is why does He love me and you? We as FOLLOWERS respond to our LORD by FAITH. The Lords Mercy and Grace are constant never can we truly come close to doing anything but accepting all these things but only by FAITH. Once more dear brothers and sisters oh thank God that we can say with deep appreciation MERRY CHRISTMASS justme |

250 | WAR ROOM (prayer room)? | Not Specified | justme | 243057 | ||
The movie WAR ROOM is an excellent tool for encouraging personal prayer. I personally have taken steps to reach out to family and friends to make a prayer room. I wonder where do you go to be in a special place to regularly pray? If so would you mind sharing it. I do not consider sharing a point of braging, but so we each might think of better ways to pray. Have you found a special book besides the Bible that encourages prayer? |

252 | Free will, or ? | Not Specified | justme | 243110 | ||
Calvinists have used Romans 9 as one of several proof texts. Some who are not as dogmatic use Romans 10 as a reason to say that this chapter is where free will enters into the debate. I am my self wondering just how deeply this really matters. I have tried to side step the debate on being called, which to me means after a person makes the choice to become a loyal follower of Christ Jesus. It seems to me the strong Calvinist is too strong. Can someone help me understand why free will is not free will as it seems to me Calvinists are saying? justme |

Prayer is as important as reading the Bible. Yet I see few willing to close a Sunday Class in prayer. the same is true in other areas as well. Why are you personally reluctant to pray out loud in a church setting? If your has no issue to pray out loud please do not answer this. | ||||||
258 | 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? |

259 | The right Bible for you? | Not Specified | justme | 243568 | ||
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 |

260 | 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.
