41 | how does the Bible help us? | 2 Tim 3:16 | farout | 45168 | ||
Dear Miriam: I saw in the personal profile you have just joined today ! May I suggest you fill it out so we know more about what spiritual level you are at, so the answer is not above your spiritual understanding. So...Timothy 3:16 is a good place to start. If you have ever bought a new car in the glove box there is a OWNERS MANUAL, right? If you buy a used automible someone might of been nice and left it there for you. That book tells you just about everything you need to know about changing a tire, fuse sizes and locations and how often to change oil, and when to replace timing belts, filters and all that important information. Now, you do not have to read it, and more than likely it will be to your disadvantage and you will pay in the end for not following the Manual. Agree? The Bible is our owners manual given by God to us. I am over simplifing this, but basicly the Bible is our Road map for life now, and for eternity. Maybe if you read St. John the fourth book in the New Testament this would be so very helpful to you. I know reading this will help you in answering your question. God Bless you. Peace, farout |

42 | "Oliver Twist" Christians? | 2 Tim 3:16 | farout | 45178 | ||
Brother Hank: I admire your thinking, and study of the WORD. For some "more" means feed me, feed me. Like newly hatched birds beg for chewed up food that needs only to be swallowed. We live in a time when most of read at a seventh grade level, if that. I think that is why talking books are so popular. At one time I worked for Zondervan Book of Life. This was a wonderful family Bible reading program. The problem was and still is families do not spend much time as a family together. Mom and dad are not good readers, and so family Bible reading is almost a thing of the past. Our family our library has more than two thousand books, that are indepth Bible study ore related materials. I think reading renews our nind and spirit, and with out the personal experience of reading and study of the Bible, and prayer seeking Gods direction, many will constantly seeking "special, tailor-made revelation". I have visited in many christian homes that do not have even have a Exhaustive Concordance! Most nothing about a concordance, much less how to use one. How can any christian expect to grow or have any revelation except from studing the Word? What would men of the past like Tyndal, or Martin Luther, Spurgon, Brunner, Pentecost, or so many other schollars, who have left us such wonderful work, if they were as believers are today? For me there is nothing like reading the words of biblical schollars, and having it to recall over and over. Reading is a gift from the Lord I shall ever be thankful for. I need not ask for special signs and wonders, I have Gods perfect Word, which the Holy Spirit uses to guide, and correct me. I am so glad I saw your question. God bless you! Peace, farout |

43 | Bibical list of deacon duties. | Titus 1:8 | farout | 38505 | ||
I have a challenging thought. Perhaps it is life patterns of significant Christlike living, and not qualifications. If a Deacon in the truest form according to Acts, they were to wait on tables, so the elders could do more of their work. Today in some fundamental Churches a divorced person can not serve. Say nothing of a woman! However a Deacon might have had several sexual infidelities and because he was not divorced be QUALIFIED to serve. I personally like the Elders with the Pastor leading the church. I think it is closer to scripture than a Pastor answering to a decon board. No pastor should be voted out by any group with out working with GODLY leadership. I am convienced that 95 percent of the church deacons are serving out of selfish desires to be boss. Leadership Maginizine did a poll several years ago and found out few deacons serve to serve Christ. The Church is not a democracy! We have too many un spiritual people making spiritual choices for the direction they want the church to go! Do I hear a amen out there? | ||||||
44 | Hebrews 6:6 explained | Hebrews | farout | 37751 | ||
Faith that falters at the first, had a flaw in it at the first.Hebrews 7:25 says that real genuine salvation is completly forever! Please get a good NASB STUDY BIBLE, sold here on line. There have been many volumes written on this verse. Your request could take up all your hard drive in answeres. My view is this does not mean you can loose youur eternal safekeeping, but there are those who come close, but proof of salvation is remaining in Christ! The KJV says abiding. So be faithfull Keep going on do not look back. Hope this helps a little! | ||||||
45 | salvation loss | Heb 6:4 | farout | 39694 | ||
In Hebrews 6:4 no where does is say they were actual true Believers. They were not sealed by the Holy Spirit, 2Corinthians 2:21,22. Much like the rich young man who it was said, he was almost persuaded, but he did not follow Jesus. I have a saying that faith that faulters had a flaw from the first. John 10:28 is clear NO ONE can snatch them out of my hand." I beleive No One includes you, and me. Yes I do believe in eternal security of the believer. I admit this seems hard to believe. I am a sinner who because I am so undeserving of salvation, that to have Jesus' hand protecting my soul forever is beyond my understanding! What mercy, I can hardly comprehend. Thank You Lord Jesus! | ||||||
46 | does God ever say no | 1 Peter | farout | 38782 | ||
Well we know what hampers prayer.1 Peter 3 7. Jesus said anyhing we ask in according to his will it shall be done. Who wants not do be in His will? So maybe we should always ask if this is your will. But if we ask amiss and it is not His will is that no? I tend to think the answer is ask again this time according to whats best for us. Paul most assuredly was turned away several times from places he wanted to go. This is just my thoughts. What do you think. | ||||||
47 | If we ask for healing does God answer no | 1 Peter | farout | 39196 | ||
Yes, and no. The relationship with the sick, asking Jesus to heal them, while he walked on earth is one area by it's self. The question does Jesus say no to healing today is also yes and no. Confused yet? When we ask to be healed today, say from cancer, have you ever seen God answer no? Again my answer to you is yes and no. Yes some people are healed now, but not often that I see. Please remember any healing while we are alive is only temporary, we will die eventually. We are pilgrims just passing through, and heaven is our real home. We will be new, have new bodies, so ultimately we are healed. The verse you quote for me means Jesus Stripes that he bore was for my sin. Do you think that might be a different way at loking at this? |

48 | eternal security | 1 John 5:11 | farout | 43120 | ||
Dear Scribe: I respectfully disagree with some areas of the first answer. John in 1 John 1:8 to 10. and Jesus in John 10, said that once you were born again,or saved if you like, NO ONE CAN PLUCK YOU OUT OG HIS HAND ! Paul tells us we are sealed by the Holy Spirit as a promise of our salvation. Think about King David, he comitted adultry, murder, and yet GOd forgave, and said David was a man after His own heart. Show me any verse that says that any sin we committ is not forgiven, each and every one the same way. We confess our sins. Is there any sin that a carnal christian can't do? Is there any sin to evil for Gods Son who died on the cross? Jesus shed His blood for your and mine sins, and rose again to be our intersseor! Dear friend the Word of God says if someone falls away they were not saved in the first place ! Faith that falters has a flaw from the begining. Do christians look at shameful material, be it movies, magizines, or what ever media ? Do christians ever sware, lie, steal, bare false witness, have sexual relations before marriage, and the list goes on. The sad answer is yes. Is there a price to pay? Does just confessing the sin to God absolve us from the consequence that results the seeds of sin growing? No, with out a doubt what we sow we shall reap. However in Romans 8:28 to 39 THAT NOTHING CAN come BETWEEN US AND THE LOVE OF GOD. Think on this and see for your self what the Word says not what you think or feel. God bless and guide you! Peace in Christ, farout |

49 | God, spouse, family, work..where is me? | Jude 1:9 | farout | 43954 | ||
I have the idea that you are looking at these items in a line. Consider a circle so large you can't see the edges. God is in the center. Now pretend everything is in orbit arround the center, which is God. Who do you place closest to the center? That would be you, I believe. The next would be your wife, family, church, work, and so forth. Your priority relationship is God fist. Because you are second then you may can make your wife the next thing to be in orbit line with. At work you wife might not be exactly in orbit line but the work is. At any time "me" can control as to who is in orbit or line up with you. Well I am right brained and this is easy to visulize for me, I hope you can also. Please do all us a special effort, and fill out your profile so we know if you are a believer, what age range we need to gear the note to. You are welcome to look up mine and see I am a nice old grampa. Peace, farout |

This is not an answer to your question. However, I wanted to say how much I enjoyed your profile. I wish they made it a requirement to sign in. You sound like a genuinely in love with Christ Christian. Thank you again for encouraging others to fill out their profile. Peace, farout |
