561 | The letter kills the Spirit brings life | 1 Cor 7:15 | justme | 88603 | ||
answers: Kyle, perhaps you have become very sensitive to the sins of your past. You said that you both made Christ Lord, and got married. You have both clearl repented of the sinful lifestyles you were living. At the point where you confessed your sin and repented and recieved Christ as Lord, you are a new creature in the Lord. There is nothing more satan would like than for you and your wife to doubt that you are clean and a new person in Chirst Jesus. You have been washed in the Blood of the Lamb of God, Jesus Christ! If you want and feel this needs to be once and for all settled, get together alone and both of you pray about your feelings of guilt, and ask Jesus to heal your past completly. I can assur you both that this will settle this once and for all. I say this very tenderly, there will always be some person who will want to judge you and condem you, DO NOT LET ANY ONE TARE UP WHAT GOD HAS HEALED AND HAS MADE NEW IN CHRIST! Go now, in Jesus, with the newness of eternal life, and be loyal to the Lord and each other. I ask you now are you clean before the Lord? Yes! Now put this out of your ninds and become a helping healer for others who are what you once were. Today the world has millions of people who need to hear that Jesus died for their sins and was the final payment for their sins, they cab be born again in Christ. Did not Christ do for you what He had done for others? The wonderful Grace of Jesus reaches out to whom ever will come. Many are the hearts burdened down by sin. They need Jesus. I pray your wife and you will be blessed and grow in your faith in Jesus Christ. You have a wonderful testimony, continue on and bear much fruit. justme |

563 | Scriptural grounds for divorce | 1 Cor 7:15 | justme | 208527 | ||
Tim 3:16: Matthew 5:27-32. Jesus said marital unfaithfulness. Looking at a woman with lust is adultery of the mind. Heart, mind, eyes and body all are involved in adultery. Every sin begins with our mind or heart. Hardness of heart is always at the core of every divorce. If we spend as much time and thought into how to resolve our marriages as some do in how to escape a marriage there might be fewer marriages. If pastors refused to remarry those divorced until they are totally convienced there is absolutely Biblical grounds this too would be of significant value in saving more marriages. I personally think no one should be remarried for at least a year. Today persons con be divorced and remarried in less than a week in some stated. A book I would suggest for couples considering marriage is LIVING TOGETHER, MYTHS, RISKS AND ANSWERS by Mike and Harriet McManus publisher by Howard Books 2008. In this book the evidence proves that 65 percent of Christians are living together before marraige. And that most marriages when the couple was sexually involved or living together has the odds against a marriage making it work. Today, many churches have divorce recovery groups. Very few churches have trained Christian counselors who work with marriages in trouble. I personally an very deeply concerned for marriages that are hanging by a thin thread. When a divorced person remarries without working on the problems they have and what helped the past marriage fail, they are going to carry the same problems into the new marraige. Some clergy persons do not even do any pre marraige counseling. Is it any wonder that so many Christians fail when Christians don't consider their marraige a Covenant they made with our Holy God. The Lord will hold us accountable for our Covenant braking. Divorce is a sin. Christ does forgive our sins, and there is consequences we reap for what we have sown. I hope this is more food for thought. justme |

564 | MUST WOMEN COVER THEIR HEAD | 1 Cor 11:5 | justme | 233148 | ||
All Muslim women cocer their heads. Catholic women have a small scarf on their head, or a hat. I think today Scripture leaces it up to the woman's choice, not a command. justme |

565 | Who can serve communion? | 1 Cor 11:24 | justme | 194066 | ||
secondchile: Welcome to the Study Bible Forum! Great question! Anyone who is genuinely born again cam serve and take the Lord's supper. Families, ladies prayer groups, husband and wife, even by your self! The bigger question is who can not serve communion? Anyone who is not a genuine Christian. Blessings. justme |

566 | No word like juice at Jesus time? | 1 Cor 11:25 | justme | 233041 | ||
0123: I am somewhat wondering why use new wineskins? How would using old wineskins over again be a problem? I dont think just plain grape juice would expand in the wine skins, would they? Is this passage that some say it's ok to drink wine? Would just grape juice stored in wineskins ferment? Blessings. justme |

567 | Have you posted as John Reformed? | 1 Cor 12:10 | justme | 115614 | ||
Medchill: May I suggest that this is a situation that is best left to those who have first hand experience on the issue and problem that existed sometime before you joined the forum. I think by asking John to respond to you with such personal information was unfair, and a little wanting him to bleed a little more. I would, If I were he. look at your proflie information and them answer ONLY if you had told us something about yourself. Now that's not required, but it is one way to let others know you are more than a pen name, is'nt it? To answer your question for what ever reason or motive you had, he has had two pen names. There has been som confusion about this. I personaly several years ago first signed in as "farout" Thsi name brought out a understanding that I might be "farout" in my theology. I carefully reconsidered after about 800 posts and WITH Lockmans approval, and me posting it for a good amount of time on my profile, I changed my pen name to "justme". I made no attempt to keep it undercover, no did I jump back in the forum because I was asked to leave. I made the change to show I was approchable. I think when this name changing happens it needs to be VERY OPEN, no misunderstandings whatsoever. I also believe that unless I participate and show something about myself it hampers the best response to questions and openess to me as a person. Blessings. justme |

568 | Baptized before serving in choir | 1 Cor 12:13 | justme | 183228 | ||
azurelaw: I agree with what Brad, CDBJ, and Doc have said. However I have another added thought. I personally think the Baptism requirement is a sound abd Biblical requirement. I know of no organization wher you can hold any office without belonging to the origanization. Why would one who has not followed the Lords instructions want to be a part of believers that have followed the Lords instructions? I think it best to follow your churches requirements with confidence it is Biblical. justme |

sammieite: Ask the Holy Spirit to reveal anything that spiritually might be thereason for these emotional situations. Then A medical check with blood work. To much or not enough sugar can cause this. Hormomes can be the cause for men or women. This might be your body telling you there is a unballance of things in your body. Blessings. justme |

570 | speaking in tounges | 1 Cor 12:30 | justme | 215033 | ||
walkfor Christ: Welcome to the Study Bible Forum. The beliefe that unless you speak in tounges that you don't have have the Holy Spirit is not supported in Scripture. As a note the use of the "Holy Ghost" is not correct. There is only one place in Scripture the word "Ghost" and it is not connected with the "Holy Spirit". The Word of Faith movement and the Pentacostal churches believe you must speak in tounges. I have always been puzzled at why only the gift of tounges is the most desired gift by some, when I ask what about the gioft of helps, giving, and encouragement? These gifts are certianly equally as important. justme |

571 | Church sound system "way too loud" | 1 Cor 13:1 | justme | 147768 | ||
Kalos:-) Wow, the problem is not unique, and Kalos there is hope for your friend that you clearly care deeply about. I too know someone with this very same hearing problem. Except Mike has it in both ears. There is a constant loud ringing, and at times he says it sounds like many birds cherping. He goes to sleep at night with the Hymns of music, to drownd out the constant noise. Even with hearing aids he is always hering these very loud ringing or cherping sounds. Mike tried seating in the middle of the church, in front, and finally in the far back, nothing really helped. The biggest help turned out to be the foam ear plugs that some what lessen the loudness . The idea of hearing assistance by earphones might be worth a try. Let me assure I really understand what this friend of yours is going through. I know because I am the person above. I have had this for more than 35 years. Blessings dear Kalos. justme |

572 | Why do I want to speak in tongues? | 1 Cor 13:1 | justme | 212337 | ||
catmandel: Welcome to the Study Bible Forum. I like the way you are carefully thinking about the speaking in tongues. "I am still confused." The Lord is not the author of confusion, and that you can be very sure of. Those who are saying you need to speak in tongues to prove you are saved are very much mistaken, and it's not Biblical at all. Toungues are listed as a gift, and if it is active today, does asking for something to prove you are saved have any Scriptual basis? Demanding someone to prove their salvation by demonstration of any gift is totally twisting Scripture. I have never heard of anyone asking for the gift of helps, or giving, and these gifts are important for the body of Christ. I think if you got a statement of belief from this church you just might see some other things that make you confused as well. If you have surrendered to Jesus Christ then you are saved by faith. To add anything additional requirements is wrong. You will want to follow Christ in baptism to show your obedience and desire to follow Jesus Christ as Lord of your life. Those people who say you must speak in tongues have been pressured into speaking jibberish just to prove they are saved, and that is a false teaching. Beware catmandel, this is very wrong. Get to a Bible believing church asap. Blessings. justme |

573 | Speaking In Tounges | 1 Cor 14:13 | justme | 174263 | ||
Gen Betrayed: What you discribe seems to go hand and hand with the Word of Faith Movement, which has destroyed many peoples faith. Speaking in tounges is a gift as I read Scripture. Is something a gift if I have to ask for it? I do not think so. Why is this gift so desired above giving, teaching, helps, and so on? Paul says it's the least of all the gifts. I think you has perfect reason to feel more than uncomfortable. I think asking people to try and speak in tounges is not Scriptual, and I would shake the dust off your shoes and move on to a Bible teaching Church. I do believe the Lord can use any gift He so wants, but God does not go against Hiw word, as this Pastor was suggesting the people to do. You have a good response to listening to the Holy Spirit, keep listening and be in prayer for God to led you to a good church. Blessings. Justme |

574 | A bit confused regarding tongues | 1 Cor 14:22 | justme | 79502 | ||
MPierce: Welcome to the Forum! Wow, you asked some really good questions, which shows me you are tring to know what being a Christian is all about. I would imagine there are a lot of answers given about speaking in tongues. To say there is great division about tongues is an understatement. Having said that, I have my own bias and it is from that view point I can only address as I understand tongues. I will try and make this brief and easy to follow, I hope. I believe Scripture teaches the following. Tongues is a gift of the Holy Spirit. We are not all given the same gifts. The gifts are to equip the body of Christ (the Church, born again, saved, Christians) for ministry. You don't ask for a gift, or it would not be a "gift". I do not recall ever hearing of Christians asking for the gift of "helps' or "hospitality" or "giving" and the list of the "gifts" goes on. Why do some "ask"? I can find no scriptual basis to ask for a gift of the Holy Spirit. I am perplexed how one can prove from Scripture speaking in tongues is to be taught to others. That would then be teaching others, would it not? How then is that a "gift of the Holy Spirit? In my opinion it is not a gift then, but a teaching. I believe there may well be the active "gift of tongues" if it is done as outlined in scripture. Often today we see the same person giving the meaning of the tongues after speaking in tongues. This is totally not done in line with what Scripture says. There must be the meaning given by some else or the tongues are false. When speaking in tongues is tied to proof of salvation I believe that is Biblically unfounded and becomes a way of making people say gibberish that is not from the Holy Spirit. As I stated there may well be the "gift of tongues" today, I believe tongues are genuine to a far less extent then most tongue talkers will admit,for in certian groups there is great pressure put on especially new Christians to prove they are saved by speaking anything to get the attention off themselves. Paul even said tongues was the least desireable gifts. Perhaps no other "gift" has caused more misunderstandings, and borken fellowship with other Christians than the "gift of tongues". I personally do not think speaking in tounges is reason to cause a brake in fellowship. There are many understandings and views by very well trained theologians, and they do not agree. So with respect for my other fellow Forum members I encourage you to move slowly and study the Word, and what ever conclusion you come to, which may change as you mature, have it based solidly on the Word. Blessings and pray for peace. justme |

575 | Is it lawful for women to be preachers? | 1 Cor 14:34 | justme | 163868 | ||
Lwaful is one thing, dealing with the legal system, and in our country it is "lawful" However the better question is " Does God call women to be pastors?" Better yet is the question I can answer with assurance. Does God call women into ministry? Yes! I have serious concerns that Biblical instruction is lacking for women being in the position od Pastor. Women in leadership ministries are effective, and I believe Biblical in every position except as Pastor. God forgive me if I am wrong. Blessings. justme |

577 | Women being submissive? | 1 Cor 14:34 | justme | 223896 | ||
stephanieleigh426: Welcome to the Study Bible Forum! In the days Paul said this wome had little schooling if anything beyond what they were taught by their mother or father. Women were "things" that belong to the husbands. With little knowledge and with constant questioning this was disruptive of the preaching. Thus Pauls advice. Morant61 has given good advice. But do not be quiet when there is a proper time to do so. Blessings. justme |

578 | Which environment would be best? | 1 Cor 15:33 | justme | 52741 | ||
Your friend needs a super good lawer. Sad but true many courts do not consider lesbian lifestyle as disqualafing her from her rights as a mother. This varies from state to state, So get the very best lawer he can. This is no tine to think cheap! There is apparently something deeper than what you are aware of because these situations just do not pop uo from no where. Both he and his daughter need counseling. I hope they get it, agape, justme |

579 | what will happen to us? | 1 Cor 15:51 | justme | 85383 | ||
jbw: Well pardner, it's time after 121 posts for you to head up yonder and fill out the Update User Info. We know nothing about you, except what you have writen. Take a few moments and share something that you would like to tell about your self. Look at other names and read their profiles to get some ideas. I for one an not a "Left Behind" follower. I take Matthew 24 and follow that. I frankly do not agree that Christians won't suffer tribulation, infact many are suffering as we sit typing our hearts out, while debating if Christians will go through the tribulation. I do respect those who hold that view, but I refuse to support the endless pop endtime studies and fiction of the "Left Behind" endless book series. I am sure these books have made mega millions for the authors and the publishers. Why read this made up fiction and some Bible, when we have the real genuine sayings of Jesus? Any thoughts? justme |

580 | Saved after the Rapture | 1 Cor 15:52 | justme | 193617 | ||
Brother Parkerson: Welco,e back to the Study Bible Study Forum! The subject of the "Rapture" is one that has several Biblical possibilities. May I suggest a book by Hank Hanergraaff, THE APOCALYPSE CODE. This in my opinion is a book that any serious Biblical reader needs to read and carefully come to understand how some Christian understand the Second coming of Jesus Christ. Blessings justme |
