2721 | Avoiding paritality in soul care | James 2:1 | justme | 53248 | ||
May I say Hank so thoughtfully has given a great answer. I would like to add, I am a nam of no great substance, in looks, intellengence, or tallent. However I am friendly and I make it a point to say hello, and try to say something when I am on a plane, train, store, in other words, my daily traffic patter of life. No matter what a person looks like or seems to be, I try to open doors of being friendly. I have led janitors to Christ, a shepard boy in Bolivia, a very wealthy business man , and people from all walks of life. I don't keep count, Jesus does that. I can tell you I have felt try to be friendly, and let the Lord open the door, I will share Christ, and the results are in the persons hands as the Holy Spirit trys to open their heart. This has been my blessing to introduce several hundred people to Christ. Others planted the seed, someone elsed watered, still who knows who has prayed for these people. Many are waiting for us to just speak in love as a potential friend to them about Christ. The fields are white and ready. I do not care about a persons, color, clothes, wealth, or their illness, if I can be a part of spredding The seed or watering, or praying, I pray that somehow the Lord will direct me. I hope this encourages you. agape, justme |

Ivory313: May I add a welcome to you from the forum. I beleive Matthew 18: 12 to 35. This is thw exact action your body should take. No Pastor or preacher is doing anything for Christ under these circumstances. i am sure there are cluture differences from your place to ours, but the principle is still the same. My heart brakes for you and those who are enduring this pain and shame. I will remember you and how you deal with Gods; wisdom in these matters. agape, justme |

2724 | You are a teacher of God's word? Does th | James 3:1 | justme | 55344 | ||
Ther Bible is Right: I will answer only for me, as that is for whom I am held accountable to God. Yes! When preparing a message, while I was a pastor, I often struggled to know the will of God in the words I was to preach. I never repeated a sermon! I liked expository preaching because I think that allows more room for the Holy Spirit to speak to hearts. Topical preaching is easier for me. I felt too much of my personal feelings and knowledge of situations in the church might be brought into the message by my own will . For me, I learned to depend on the Holy Spirit to give me direction, rather than my feelings. Yes, I had Godly fear and respect for the responsiblity I was given. I look back at some of my first sermons and see how primative a preacher I was. I did grow and feel I became more sensitive and polished. This happened by the sweat and struggling I went through preparing myself, and the sermon. In my opimion this warning includes, but is not limited preachers, but Sunday School teachers, and anyone giving counseling. agape, justme |

2725 | do teachers agree on issue of lost salva | James 3:1 | justme | 55690 | ||
Sharonaharris: Often when asked this question, I wonder why are they asking this question. Sometimes, what a person is asking is really what little is required of me to be assured I will make it to heaven. If that's the real question I would say that person has not a clue what salvation is. Hebrews 7:24 to 25. If we have made Christ our LORD (boss) of our lives we are saved completly! John 10:28 says "no one can snatch then out of my hand," Ephesians 1:13 to 14 says "you were marked in Him with a seal, the promised Holy Spirit, who is a deposit guaranteeing our inheritance until the redemption of those who are God's possession to the praise og His glory" I believe that if you are genuinely born again than you are sealed by Christ's Grace. I also believe that faith that faulters, has a flaw in it from the first. Many famous people have made big brazen statements of being "saved" and people put them in the line light and then they fall flat. Little Richard, famous rock and roll piano player singer is a prime example. The list is very long and sad. Did he lose his salvation? some might say yes. But I would say he was never saved at all. Paul warns us many times not to look back, and warns us not to turn back. I will say there is blackslidden, or carnal Christians. Have they lost their salvation? No, but there is discipline, Hebrews 12:3 to 12 explaines this so perfectly. Now to those who would not agree with me, and they have a genuine way to believe,(I don't agree with)but there is no reason to disfellowship with a fellow believer over this. This very topic has had many of hours spent on this subject in this forum. For more information go to the right upper side type in eternal security over the word SEARCH and you will see a lot more thoughts. agape. justme |

2726 | Is it bad to be freaky with your bf? | James 4:17 | justme | 231714 | ||
Ryo123: Welcome to the Study Bible Forum. I agree with BradK the word "freaky" does not relate to anything I know about. But here is my answer. If you have to unbutton, unzip, pull up, pull down, or touch any part of someones body...the answer is "like touching wise" NO, like no ways, nada, stop, don't, run like away from it. But your right don't get fraky until marraige, ok? Like, justme |

2727 | Elders anointing sick with oil. | James 5:14 | justme | 63698 | ||
In James 5:14 to 16. In these verses Elders are to be praying and anointing the sick, and prayers offered. There in verse 16 we are to confess our sins to one another. I think the anointing with oil is an act of obedience. Why have many pastors and elders neglected these instructions? Would not these instructions, for the churches sick, be much like an ordiance of baptism or the Lords Supper? I do not think these verses say the person will be healed for sure, but that if sin brought on the sickness the sins will be forgiven. Any one have some thoughts on this? justme |

2728 | Elders anointing sick with oil. | James 5:14 | justme | 63708 | ||
Pastor Glenn: Having been a pastor and anointing the sick with oil, I know the fears one can feel. I never felt it was to heal the person. The purpose is bring others attention to the need of the ill person and to help in the person to confess sin. However, inspite of all this I have seen very sick peoples lives extended for a much longer period of time to restore family issues. I have seen prostrate cancer change and the cancer groth slow to the doctors amazement. This is an act of obedience. Even if the person is totally healed, it is only bor a brief time. We all will die it is just a matter of time. My question to you is have you ever anointed any one? If not, then why not? If you have tellme about it, please. God bless. justme |

2729 | Elders anointing sick with oil. | James 5:14 | justme | 63713 | ||
Pastor Glenn: You are blessed. I did almost 130 furnals in 9 years! I did about 10 weddings. I felt with the dead you know they will stay put. I never did a funeral with out having tears of compassion for the grieving. Christians who deney grieving often have long term depression, Many feel it is not Christian to grieve. Which we know it just is not so. The childrens funerals are as difficult as it got for me. I pray Blessings on your ministry. justme |

Emmaus:-) I would say my understanding is Biblical. The Catholic Church has the correct understanding of the verse. My question is who are the Elders in the Catholic Church? Have you ever seen this happen, or had it done to ssomeone you know? As a pastor I have done this on several people who were very ill. I believe unless the Universal Church begins to return to the instructions left to us, we are missing a huge blessing. Thank you for your imput. justme |

2734 | Did Jesus go to hell? | 1 Peter | justme | 80309 | ||
Faith Dude: The doctrine of Jesus going to hell is of nature from the Pentecostal and Word of Faith teachings. May I refer you to eguip.org and there you can find an abundance of material. This doctrine has some very serious flaws and denies the very Divine nature of Jesus Christ. Jesus did preach to those who died who were obedient to Yahweh, and walked with Him. Jesus preached He had come as Lord and redeemer, and they were taken with Him to Paradise. This is as i understand it. I would welcome anyones elses thoughts. Blessings and pray for Peace. justme |

EdB:(:- I amalways pleased to hear from you neck of the Forum woods. I did not read your note, but what you have said I agree with, except some Pentecostals do have that belief as some are involved with the WOF movement. Whatpercentage I have no idea. Thanks for your thoughts. Blessings and pray foR peace justme. |

fran1947: I read your profile and was struck by you felt no would agree with you. Why would you say that? This Forum is based on mutual kindness and respect, there ar many here that have very different Theologies, and Doctrines, and for the most part Forum members have showed genuine respect and kindness. The problem is when one takes an attack of believe it or you are not saved. I am refering to Orthodox Christianity, not cults. Blessings, and pray for peace. justme |

EdB: Your genuine solid beliefs and willingness to stand firm is admirable and I find you refreshing in your defense of your wisdom. I totally agree with your understanding of where this teaching came from, "the pit of hell". Thanks for responding. justme |

EdB: 2 Peter is quite relevent for the times were are in. False doctrines and theology are found in many strange place you once never thought possible. Quite recently one member of our church had a chance to give their opinion on giving to a missionary. When I informed this person that the missionary was a WOF the response "was so what!" I made some brief statement on WOF doctrine and the person turned on me. "For the lack of knowledge my people perrish" sound like something you have read? Peace. justme |

2739 | Did Jesus go to hell? | 1 Peter | justme | 80427 | ||
EdB: I could not have said it better. I have encountered this issue of WOF on the forum twice. To be honest after amny notes back and forth, frustrations were at ahigh pitch, and in and the outcome was a waste of time. As you said unless the Lord speakes to their death ears it is tragic. I am very much in line with Hank Hanegraaff's books and I think we have most if not all of his books. I try to listen to his brodcast when he comes on at 5pm here. In reality you are not on a soapbox, you are deeply concerned for those who have taken hellfire in their souls. Blessings EdB. Never stop preaching to me, you go for it! justme |

2740 | If we ask for healing does God answer no | 1 Peter | justme | 146672 | ||
Mitchbornagain: I read with amazement that you said "John the Baptist might not have been beheaded if he had not doubted God." This is a profound statement for you to make! This is twisting the meaning of Scripture to a new level, that I have never ever seen before! Remaining silent about your false understanding of the meaning of such a simple Scriptual text would be to give you an signal of agreement. I encourage you to look at Romans 14:22, which says I am to be careful in what I approve of. I loudly proclain you are totally off base!!! Having rerad a few of your notes, I wonder where your Scripture support comes from, as it looks like most of what you say is not Scriptual. This is a Bible Study forum, not an opinion forum, and I am amazed you neglected to notice the basics of how to respond to notes. Perhaps you should start fresh and reread your notes and either state your Scriptual evidence or retract and correct your mostly wild ideas. You make it clear that you are in the Word of Faith Movement. There are others that are in the forum that belong to the WOFM and are not just stating their opinion. I am deeply concerned that you have such a flawed view of healing. The physical decomposing of our earthly tent is a constant fact of nature that will end in physical death. Physical healing at best is only for a short number of years. Is it not better to be with the Lord than here? Paul believed to be with the Lord was gain for him. When I see that the emphasis on healing is proof of faith, or lack of healing is proof there is a lack of faith, I get rather red faced. How sad it is that this false theology is propergated and passed on by those who largely have never experienced walking in the valley of death. It seems easy to make such proclaimations of healings when you have never experienced real life threatening illness. Speaking from my personal experience of nearly 40 years of numerious serious life threatening illness, I have learned to seek to be in the center of God's will, and not tell Him what I want, but to seek His will, rather that mine. Perhaps you would like to dialogue about this, and I would be pleased to do so. I sincerely hope this gives you something else to consider before responding with just your learned from other flawed teachers. Blessings. justme |
