2681 | Mechanical Instruments? | Eph 5:19 | justme | 52107 | ||
Grace and Truth: I have spent the last half hour reading your notes and questions. I find you interesting. I will say very directly, that you are strong in your defense of the Church of Christ. In all honesty a more sweeter spirit and a loving caring way of presenting your words is despertly needed! That is if you want to really get your point the slightest chance to make a valid stand. I don't care how right you are, with a harsh attitude, you do more to drive readers away. Let me be quite blunt, ok? Hank is a very intellegent man. Hank has such high standards, most likely I will never come close to. I admire his kindness, and corrections. He has challenged my spelling and syntex, I often feel my gramer is that of a first grader. For my gramer I am deeply sorry. However, when I read that Hank was throwing in the towel with you, I was stunned! I admit at times you have slipped out of notes I have sent you. I have considered that is JUSTME, but when a true Elder of the forum says something like he did to you, take notice! You really come across so abrubt, and offensive. Either you are not willing to learn, or you have become unteachable. I saw why you confront Forum members. Can I suggest that perhaps your time and effort to change the Forum members to your belief system, perhaps might be better spent elsewhere. I am aware this could be understood by you as a note from some of those others you refer to. I honestly feel you need to gain respect for others for what they say, for you to become readable, and believable. To be perfectly honest, I see very little Grace, and Truth only as you see it. I wonder is there anyhting any of us believe or say that you consider is even a possibility. You and the Church can't know it all, can you? agape, justme |

2682 | Authorized name vs. Unauthorized? | Matt 16:18 | justme | 52096 | ||
Hello Raven: In The real world of today, names are associated with items, or churches, food products and more. Like when I hear the word Ford, I know what to expect. The same with Dodge, Chevy, KIA, and VW. For me, when I see Assembly of God, Church of Christ, LDS, JV, Southern Baptist, GARB, Consertive Baptist, American Baptist or even Calvary Chapel, I have a pretty good idea what their theology is. I have spent many, many hours learning, and visiting these churches. I am totally incompatable with LDS, and JV. I have many other friends that belong to these other churches. I know what I believe and where I feel most represents my theology, and follows how I think biblically a church should be run. I am glad for these signs and denominations telling me these things. Christ did not start a church persay. Paul started several. Not all were run the same. They all had problems! As long as human beings are in the human body we will have difference of opinions on Baptism, Denominationalisn, which english translation is the best Bible, can I lose my salvation, speaking in tongues, and the list gets bigger and never ending. However, Galations 5:6 ......The only thing that counts is faith expressing itself through love. NIV. So RAVEN if you so choose to ride a donkey to worship, on the ground, facing east, and sing with with a 76 trumbone band, or with no instruments, and if you want to speak in tongues, or rule against tongues, if your church wants only women pastors or men, that is one great thing about living in a free country! I might add I have paid a very high price for this freedom! So Raven, what would you think is best? A church run government, and state? Should we all sav Raven has the total truth lets follow that foul? Just what is it you would like to see/ No denominations? Well I can tell you in Bolivia in September of 1983 if it were not for Southern Baptists many missionaries who depend on private denoations would have gone belly up! They came to the rescue because inflation was 1000 percent a month! There are many mansions, and thank God some of us care about other believers no matter what church they are, except cults. But even then we are to show love! I honestly hope you read this with a tender heart, and an open spirit for the Holy Spirit to touch you in a special way. agape, justme |

2683 | Is this considered a foul in Gods eyes? | Bible general Archive 1 | justme | 52093 | ||
Raven: I noticed taht you began in the Forum and Febuary 13 2002, and posted 161 times. Please take time and put something about your self in the user info! Pretty please. I will remind you that I came to you, in writing, and told you how offend I was at you coments. You totally ignored me! Do you feel comfortable just letting these feelings go by? I do not, and consider this a violation of Matthew 18. The only thing is I have no person to go with me to confront you. So please respond! I will not go away, I will pray that the Lord gives you encouragement to resolve your hostile attitude. I expect to hear from you. agape, farout |

Hank: I do have three nutered goats we use to keep the 3 acers trimed down. Does this not represent good stewardship? However if raven was a amish they have horse and buggies. I wish raven would respond to my note. I noticed you have had an interesting day. I love open mindedness, and consideration for others feelings, and I sincerely try to show those qualities. However, sometimes this key board just does not do as I tell it to do. agape, justme |

2685 | Divorced Pastor do weddings? | Bible general Archive 1 | justme | 52088 | ||
Tim: From the first I have said I would rather do a funeral than a wedding as I knew they would stay put! Sadly, and a heart brake is how many divorced that I married, it really hurts. I never will marry anyone with out counseling ever again. I did for some family members to my heart ache. God bless. agape, justme |

I agree! I think carpet on the church floors is a waste also, what's wrong with dirt floors? Why have paint on thw walls? In fact why not have services in the out doors? We need to get down to basics! We must be good stewards so we can spend the money doing......what? Raven do you have a auto? House? airconditioner, heater? Don't you believe we need to do all we can as good stewards to make our church and it's activities attract people? That way we can get them to see Christians are the happiest people on earth, thanks to Jesus Christ our Lord. We live near the Amish, and they live a very distinct simple but very hard lifestyle. They attract attention, but lack evangelism. I have several Amish friends, anf I love then dearly. But to each Christian is given a choice to live life. NO ONE WAY IS THE ONLY WAY. Think about it. agape. justme |

2688 | Why is Mark 16:9-20 contested? | Mark | justme | 52069 | ||
The most reliable early manuscripts and other ancient witnesses do not have Mark 16:9 to 20. There are other scriptures in other spots that have minor additions like this one. The editors want you fully informed when they come across these. Nothing of the Gospel is changed, and therefor it in notworthy. agape, justme |

2691 | Divorced Pastor do weddings? | Bible general Archive 1 | justme | 52062 | ||
Tim: May I add that it is also the state or local county laws that also regulate. As a general rule If a person is ordained, that is enough. However in some states just going in to the County clerk and registering with then just as a person wanting to do marriage services is adaquate. Whether a former pastor is divorced has little to do with the state allowing him or her to marry. In fact you can get adds in papers and in magazines sell minister diplomas for a small price to ANYONE to marry couples and make lots of bif money. Ha Ha, I have married more couples for nothing. I usually give it back to the bride as asupprise gift. Justme |

2692 | are there some people born evil? | Bible general Archive 1 | justme | 51943 | ||
I do not believe in per determination. However Because God knows begining to end even thouhg God has not made our choices, He knows what what we will choose. Because He will not force us to love or worship Him we do have freeom of our will to choose. In order to have our own free will there must have something to male choices about. Good and Evil are strictly up to us. I hope this is not too confusing. agape, justme |

2693 | Will Christ be coming back very soon? | Rev 22:20 | justme | 51717 | ||
alpha and omega: does this there are two of you? Oh well, back to your question. I do not believe there is anything remaining to happen for Christ' return. I believe the only thing stopping His return is Gods Love and Mercy that He wants no one to perish. May I suggest you read Matthew 28 the whole chapter. There are many things that could go on for a long time. Paul expected Jesus to return in his lifetime 2000 years ago. Then again we are to live our life as Jesus may return tommrow. But work for His Kindom as it may not take place in your lifetime. Only The Father know the hour! I suggest you be anxious for nothing, but be ready at anytime. agape, justme |

2697 | What is eunuch and his job? why call enu | Acts 8:36 | justme | 51401 | ||
Prayon: The information you wrote is par excelaunce! I whould however suggest that Potiphar was a true eunuch. This is according to THE GENESIS RECORD by Morris. After hearing this from my pastor one Sunday I asked him his source of information. Luckly I had the book and sure enough Morrris said that. Now the rendering of potiphar's wife demanding sexual advances makes a little more clearer understanding. Again you did a very excellent note. agape, justme |

2699 | Preterist interpretation of this verse. | Luke 21:32 | justme | 51395 | ||
To be quite honest this Generation think is debatable, and many fine Christians have strong evidence for either side. I cab sit in the middle and I can understand both sides. Infact I could defend either side in a debate. I think is how one interprets Scripture. I am a creationist, and do not believe in the JEPD theory of Genesis. To my way of understanding Scripture is, how you believe the begining is how you will understand Revelation. That determines how you understand the rest of the Bible. I find Premillennialism is the better way to interpret scripture. I find more Amillennialist take a liberal view of scripture, would believe in the JEPD theory and try to alogoirize scripture, that I would take more litteral. Usually for most amilennialist they would see AD 70 as completing that Generation you are refering to. May I suggest THE MEANING OF THE MILLENNIUM FOUR VIEWS edited by Robert G. Clouse published by InterVarsity Press. This is in print and easy to get or order. Infact I got one for our Pastor recently. Also THINGS TO COME by J. Dwight Pentecost by Zondervan. Pentecost also has THE WORDS AND WORKS OF JESUS CHRIST, and A HARMONY OF THE WORDS AND WORKS OF JESUS CHRIST. All three books are so easy reading and a mainstay for a good library for Christians. I really enjot the Harmony. The issue you are dealing with is solid meat, and make sure you have teeth to chew this prime rib of the Word. You are in some good dialogue material that will strech your growth. I would caution you don't get so defensive that it becomes a challenge to show weakness in a nother believer. I know where I stand. I love to hear others view. If I listen to the other person, but because they feel I am so wrong, they won't listen to my view, I am the wiser, not them. If both of you listen to each other then you both have learned and grown in understanding at least. The thing that amazes me, the Bible is about 1100 pages from cover to cover. Yet there are billions of pages of mans writings trying to explain it's every little detail. A little odd is it not? I hope you enjoy your study, and perhaps I have helped a little. agape, justme |

2700 | Saved with Baptism? | Bible general Archive 1 | justme | 51324 | ||
Raven: I just re read your note. You are lucky raven season is not open. I thought the other day you said you were going to be nicer? Personally I think you need your wings clipped, and tail feathers plucked. Are you so numb to the real world. Have you ever seen a child carry a gernade and blow up anyone? Don't tell me kids dont know what death is! Perhaps you have lived such a sheltered life, and do not know what it is to see how evil this world is and how quickly it comes naturally to children. Let me say it very clear you do not have a clue on some of what you speak! You got me real worked up so I will sign off before I get kicked off. Think before you type next time! Please! justme |
