41 | Babies and young children a distraction? | Bible general Archive 1 | Norrie | 10166 | ||
I grew up Catholic, we didn't sing "bringing in the sheep" but I heard that on those shows on TV, I always thought that's what it was too. :) I don't believe I've ever been anywhere where that song was actually sung but I did hear it was sheaves too. For some reason, I just never could get my daughter to sit still and shut up during services. I have taken her out and smacked her bottom, tried the pinching, shut up just doesn't do it, I guess I've been a miserable failure but I just can't get her to shut up, sit still and listen. If she goes to sleep, I get a break. Then I hear from her teachers how wonderful she is, etc-why isn't she that w/me!!! |

42 | Should a Christian be a Mason? | Bible general Archive 1 | Norrie | 10169 | ||
Well, I have to admit that sometimes Chick does come on a bit strong, but then maybe some people need that in order to be reached. Not everybody is at the same place spiritually and some may need a rude awakening. There is no man who is 100percent right on all issues is all I'm saying. Just like CRI saying Copeland was wrong, what they said he said was wrong, but maybe I should have ASKED Copeland ministries themselves instead of taking their word because look what they did to Hovind. I've just kinda got scared to listen to anybody any more because they may be wrong and that's no way to be either. Even at your church, you may not 100percent agree w/everything they say. You just have to rely on the Holy Spirit to guide you. I know one thing tho, w/o someone to help me understand the scriptures, I'd have a hard time on my own-it's a good thing there are people who actually study the Bible and it's background and can fill you in on situations that were going on at the time because I'd have no clue otherwise in many situations. :) This place drives me crazy not being about to use certain symbols like percent and and-wahhhh!!!! |

43 | Should a Christian be a Mason? | Bible general Archive 1 | Norrie | 10213 | ||
Since I was shown that Copeland and other televangelists were wrong, I have noticed the sensationalism in many of them and therefore quit listening to any of them. Every week I get my email from CRI too, I like their articles. I was just pointing out how Hovind had refutes that he couldn't even talk to them about tho so they aren't right all the time either, a lot tho. :) I guess why I liked Copeland so much was he always used to say don't take my word for it, go to the Word and read it yourself. But I have to admit that in the last decade, the televangelists seems to get awfully greedy, using God as a "gimme" factory, that turned me off on them. Maybe when Copeland started getting involved w/them people is when he slipped, who knows. I do know that God is not a magic formula to get what you want like some of them try to act like. Some of them are so ridiculous, you wonder how anybody listens to them. :) |

44 | Is Hades Hell? | Bible general Archive 1 | Norrie | 10216 | ||
I've had someone explain it like hell is where you go until you go to the Lake of Fire, like you go to jail before you go to prison. | ||||||
45 | where do blacks come from? | Bible general Archive 1 | Norrie | 10223 | ||
I think you're right. :) People do paint as they are and most artists were white. However, they seem to forget that Jesus was Jewish. | ||||||
46 | did the wine from the water make you dr | Bible general Archive 1 | Norrie | 10269 | ||
The wine in them days did make you drunk. Look at the parties the pagans threw! Look at the verses in Proverbs telling you to beware of getting drunk. Having a drink is not the same as getting drunk tho, moderation is the key. | ||||||
47 | did the wine from the water make you dr | Bible general Archive 1 | Norrie | 10270 | ||
That wouldn't seem like much of a miracle on Jesus' part then, would it? If that was the case, what did they need Him for? | ||||||
48 | I DO NOT KNOW | Bible general Archive 1 | Norrie | 10272 | ||
I agree. There is also the Jewish wedding rituals from that day that has to be understood. When a man was to marry a woman, he went to his fathers house to prepare a room (bridal chamber) for her. Only when his father said the room was done, was he allowed to take the bride, then they would go whatever time of day or night to get the bride, that is why the bride was told to always be ready, that she didn't know when the groom was coming to get her. It was all up to the groom's father, which is Jesus' case, is God the Father, when the Father says go, get Your bride, He will come and not before then. Zola Levitt Ministries has some good info on this. | ||||||
49 | What are Calvins and Arminians? | Bible general Archive 1 | Norrie | 10283 | ||
Gee, I'm glad I'm just a simple Christian, makes life simpler. :) I guess this is like the fighting between Baptists and Methodists, Espistopalians and Presbyterians, etc.-more of an I'm right and you're wrong thing? Thanks! | ||||||
50 | What are Calvins and Arminians? | Bible general Archive 1 | Norrie | 10443 | ||
OK, I believe that every individual has the free will to accept or reject the gospel, that God wants all to accept even tho this won't happen and is sad when someone rejects because Jesus died for all and God loves every one of us, even the sinner. I believe He tries to bring all to Him but basically, after a awhile, if someone rejects enough, then they are left to go their own way as selected by themselves. I also believe that a person can be stupid enough to throw away their salvation-why they would want to, who knows, but I have run across people who professed to do this, became pagan or whatever. Others said they weren't saved to begin with, they said yes they were, baptized in the Holy Spirit, the whole thing. So, if this was the case, they definately threw their salvation away. I guess it would be up to God whether or not they repented before they die but they would have to do that, for sure. I would imagine just like you can disown your earthly parents, you can do that with God too, as stupid as that may be. I guess I'm not a Calvinist or an Arminian, I'm just a Christian with no label. :) |

51 | What are Calvins and Arminians? | Bible general Archive 1 | Norrie | 10469 | ||
I take it you are a plain ole Christian too? :) I go to a Baptist church but I can't even say I'm a Baptist even tho I belong to the church, if anybody asks, I'm a Christian. I became a Christian when I accepted Jesus as my Savior, why would I want to choose another label? :) Seems like any other would be going down. Then if you are a church hopper, would you change labels w/every church? Just too much trouble that way. :) |

"I am Arminian in thought in regards to election" Does this mean you agree that you can become unsaved? Maybe I'm not sure what election is. I've never run across these terms like Calvinism, Arminian, election, etc. before so I may ask what might seem to be a lot of dumb questions. I guess these would be more denominational type questions than scriptural? I guess you'll have to enlighten me when I'm ignorant. :) | ||||||
53 | Decendents of Jesus today? | Bible general Archive 1 | Norrie | 10494 | ||
Seems possible to me. :) Too bad we can't trace birth certificates back that far. I guess that's another question to ask when we get there. | ||||||
54 | What are Calvins and Arminians? | Bible general Archive 1 | Norrie | 10554 | ||
I want to thank all of you for enlightening me on this subject. I guess I do think that Arminian fits more with my ideas of what the Bible says than Calvin. However, I won't take the label of either one even if I do agree w/one over the other. Saying you're a Calvinist or Arminian seems like you're saying you're following that person instead of Jesus and I never really heard of either one of them really, I did hear John Calvin before as a name to do w/Protestentism but never knew exactly what he thought. I guess if someone never heard of either of these people and there was a split about whether they believed this or that, then maybe they could say they're the "ites" of whoever leads the discussion, that just doesn't seem right to me. I prefer to just still have my only label be a Christian or follower of Christ. If you say you are a Calvinist or an Arninian, isn't that saying you are following that particular person? Even if you say you're a Baptist, Catholic, Methodist, etc. it seems that is saying the denominiation is more important than Christ is. Maybe it would be OK to say I'm a Baptist Christian or Calvin Christian if you wanted to expound further but Christian is still the important label to me. :) Thank you all again for your help. I take it you have already discussed this in depth and the Calvins won't change their minds and the Arminians won't change theirs either? :) It's kinda like are you pretrib, midtrib, post trib or no rapture period. Or maybe it's like is the earth 6000 yrs old are 20 billion. I guess these are things you can argue with till the cows come home and nobody will change their position no matter how convincing the other side is. I guess there are some things we won't know till we die and go to heaven. Of course we might be alive to find out about the rapture tho-then we might know who was right. Personally, I hope it's pretrib but as long as I go, who cares!!! |

My daughter is getting baptized Sun even. service. We had to go see the youth minister today for counseling (we're So. Bapt church too). Anyway, he was telling her that it's wonderful that she's 9 and knows that Jesus is her Savior, that there are many people that go to church and are 60 and don't know that yet, they know all about Him, just haven't make that decision to put Him on the throne of their life. That does seem sad, doesn't it. :( But I grew up Catholic, born and raised as they say. Then I fell out from the church and became a total heathen for a decade or so, then I accepted Jesus. I mostly listened to Copeland who I never heard say anything wrong back then, he seemed to follow the Bible. I traveled so never found a church home. Then when I finally settled down here, eventually I went to this church and loved it. I had been to several Baptist churches in my travels, some nondenom. churches too w/all the tongue talking, prophecying people, none turned me on enough to want to stay. Then it seemed all the Bapt churches had the same sermon, trying to get you saved. Well, I'm already saved, I wanted a meat church where they preach the Bible and you find out what to do after you're saved and now I have that. But I don't know enough about Baptists to claim being one even tho I belong to that church. Then my mil belongs to a Baptist church that is totally different from ours, seems there's Southern, Independant, Missionary, Primitive, who knows how many others. :) All I know is what I believe and this church seems to believe the same way. Shoot, I asked the youth minister today about the different Baptists and he didn't know either. :) Then I've heard Baptists are very legalist before, these people don't seem so, in fact I wish they were a tad more legalistic. Some of the teenagers dress terrible, girls look like hookers! Anyway, I'm def. not a Baptist expert but I was a Catholic expert at one time. :) I've been on several different type forums and been thru many arguments and know that it's useless to change people's mind once it's made up, but I've never heard Calvinism and Arminian before. :) I guess I must be one of them people that don't know beans about doctrines, maybe I might be better off staying that way? :) |

So you never had a full immersion baptism? I guess I was sprinkled when I was 2 wks old. :) Then after I got saved, I couldn't find anybody to baptize me, it seemed you had to join the church in order to ger baptized and there wasn't a church I wanted to join, I just wanted to get baptized because of obedience. Then in 86 I went w/my aunt to a camp meeting in Rocky Mt, NC, this was one of the nondenom. spirit filled, prophecying places, but I'd been praying for baptism and they decided they were going to do baptisms in the creek. Then they decided the creek wouldn't work and the preacher had a pool that had been covered over all winter, still had cover on, so went to his house and took the cover off and got baptized in that nasty water. :) Oh well, at least I got baptized! | ||||||
58 | musical instruments or not? | Bible general Archive 1 | Norrie | 11005 | ||
I guess I'm getting on the tail end of this but...I can't see why any church would say not to use instruments, that just seems like legalism is the worse way. All thru the OT God is using instruments, David was a musician, look at the trumpets at Jericho, then how many times did the choirs and instruments go before armies? I think instruments are a great way to praise the Lord. Our church has an orchestra. :) | ||||||
59 | How long since Adam and Eve? | Bible general Archive 1 | Norrie | 11267 | ||
I'm checking blink right now to see if I have that one. I know I got several links off of drdino.com, I'm thinking that was one but I'm checking first. As far as time, no one can say for sure on April 2, 30AD Jesus died on the ctoss either and rose on April 5 of the same year. :) People still fight over was it three days and nights or how does Fri even-Sun am equal 3 days or it was really on a Wed, Thur, so far I don't think anybody's resolved that fight either but we still know it happened. :) She did it-I'm so proud!!! Thank you. |

I guess what I don't understand is all these people selling or donating eggs, sperm, etc, cloning, artificial insem., etc. yet there are all these others having abortions, something doesn't quite seem right here... | ||||||
