61 | explain to me which bible to use | Bible general Archive 4 | justme | 230687 | ||
A lot depends on what you want from a Bible. The KJV is an old standard that many use today. There are better translations if you want a more accurate Bible. The New American Standard Bible is perhaps the best, some would say the English Standars Version. I personally trust the New American Standard Bible the most. These two Bible translations are as close to word for word that can be made into English. The KJV is good but was translated in 1611 and lacks the use of older manuscripts that the NASB and the ESV USED. Thr NIV has been updated and has become an issue for some. The NIV no longer publishes the orignal updated of 1984 NIV. The newest revision done in 2011 uses gender neutral language. This presents real issues for some conserative christians. I for one, am uncertain, and without further study, I will withold my approval or reccomending the 2011 NIV for now. Chheck with your pastor ans see what he uses and suggests. Blessings |

62 | deleted posts | Bible general Archive 4 | justme | 230886 | ||
7angels: I looked over what remains of your posts. By what I can tell you don't answer many questions with a scripture, just sorta what you think scripture says. The SBF does not answer as "Dear ABBY does, as we are answering Bible questions. Perhaps the one in charge felt you did not answer correctly in line with scripture. After 20 posts I would like to see something about yourself in your profile. Beyond this those in charge are most always right on in deleating a post. I too have had a couple deleated as well over the several years I have been a member, and I think they were right to deleat them. justme |

63 | is it wrong to go out with a 36 if you | Bible general Archive 4 | justme | 231388 | ||
HJW: It is not a good idea. The age difference is too wide. Just by the sounds of it I am pretty sure you are a man, right? I am very sure someone closer to your own age will have more in common with you, unless this is a lustful thing you are trying to do. This is a Bible Study forum, and as such questiona like this are discouraged. |

64 | rapture of the church: true or false | Bible general Archive 4 | justme | 231641 | ||
Pmaster1955: This study of the "rapture" has been debated more now than ever before. I too have Hanks book, and Hank leaves some questions left unanswered. at least for my wife and me. Hank is so determined that there in really no view better than his, that he has offended some solid Bible schollars, and that's rude in my opinion. I do agree with a good part of what he says however. My personal view is than any view on the taking of us christians, must be in line with what Jesus Christ said himself, in Matthew 24. I do think Darby's view has some serious flaws, and many good preachers have been accepted Darby's theory while in Seminary. Dallas Theological Seminary teaches the Rapture and most graduate believing Darby's theory. Dallas is a very good seminary. I had a proffesor who said that if you just sat down to come to a understanding of the rapture theory. by just reading the Bible there was no way you could come close to Darby's theory. I agree with that statement. I believe the very best understanding of the return of Jesus Christ is.....TO BE READY. JESUS SAID "NO ONE KNOWS BUT THE FATHER" So spending time defending Darby's or any ones elses theory is pretty fruitless. I do believe it is important to know what you believe about the return of Jesus Christ, and be able to defend it with Scripture, but being offensive and dogmatic like Hank and others is just plain rude. If someone is a teacher or preacher dealing with this subject, of the return of Jesus Christ, it might be well to present the four major views and give the weakness and the strong points of each view. That would be teaching not craming down a view point. In the end,then we will know for sure and Jesus may well shock us all. Blessings. |

65 | What does God say in regards to Masons? | Bible general Archive 4 | justme | 232065 | ||
Prophetess3: This is a rather serious issue, and some who say they are christians are members of the Masons. Ther are many christians who strongly believe the Masons are a cult. For me to fully give many details as to why some believe Masons are a cult would take a huge amount of time. So I will give you a few basic things to look up and follow up on. In Revelation9:11 the secret word of Masons is abaddon. Abaddon is the angel of the abyss. That is hell Abaddon. In Proverbs 15:11 again Abaddon is used in connection with a reference to a place of distruction. In amny placed satanic symbols and words related to evil areused bu Masons. The promises Masons take are made with the threat of death if they ever brake their oth. If you are really interested may I suggest worldwideweekend.com and there si very detailed information in their reference material or dvd's. My belief is most Masons do not really know how Masonisn conflict with Scripture. justme |

67 | Question on Hymn of Invitation tradition | Bible general Archive 4 | justme | 232119 | ||
rustic1959: Welcome to the Study Bible Forum. You are indeed hitting upon a very tender spot that has been a life long subject I feel quite adamant about. In the movie FAITH LIKE POTATOES which is a true story, Angus Buchan is standing at the end of the sermon, and the pastor ask for those who whant to kow Christ to step out. There is no music, no high pressure twisting of words, and no inviting Jesus into your heart. This movie shows how a invitation should be done in my not so humble opinion. We submit our self, and surrender to Jesus. The invatation is a time for Jesus inviting us to surrender to his Lordship, and repenting of our sins. We begin by following His Commands, submiting to Jesus as Lord. Baptism, and being involved with a local church are parts of our submission. Responding to forgiveness of our sins is totally awesome, we respond to His Grace bu learning to love as we never knew before. God teaches us to walk by faith, learning to walk by faith takes not a few moments, but takes us s full life time. When Jesus said we must take up our cross, the cross He talks about is not on wheels, or power driven. Carring our cross is blood sweat and tears. I agree with you the invitation today is one in which the average person might well think we are DOING JESUS CHRIST A BIG FAVOR. How utterly twisted this is. The Scriptures call for us to surrender to Jesus Christ in humility. The Bible tells us He Choose us, we have done NOTHING to deserve salvation. Yes many many who make these man made invations are in reality inviting people to aJesus that will send then to the "pit", unless God extends his grace to them again. Thank you for bringing this subject up, maybe someone who failed to surrender to Jesus just might find the Jesus who loves and forgives, but also requires us to repent and prove we are so so in love with Him we are indeed following Him. What is proof that a persons salvation has seriour doubt is when someone says. "I love Jusus but have no use for the church". That is not salvation talking! justme |

68 | KJ Version | Bible general Archive 4 | justme | 232120 | ||
Gadrifter58: The KJV is written at a 12th to 13th grade reading of today. I grew up on the KJV and managed very well. But most everyone else did as well. Todat mush better translations like the NASB are far better in accuracy and use language that more people of today can read and understand. I believe the NASB is at the 10th grade level. The Niv is at the 6th grade reading level. News papers of today are at a 5th grade reading level. justme |

69 | NIV...Gods...? | Bible general Archive 4 | justme | 232143 | ||
G Preston: I have a grandson whose name is Preston, mighty fine name. I would never stand to justify anything the NIV has put in print, this is especially the newest NIV. The people who put up the new NIV just took the Today NIV and basicly changed it's name to the 2000 NIV. At least that's how I thibk it came about. Who can produce a version of the Bible in less than 2 years? I consider the NIV of today just a pascifier for geting Christians in to Bible reading. The problem is people just stay in the NIV and don't grow into a solid translation like the NASB, KJV, NKJV, or the ESV, which are more literal and not so much made on dynamic thought for thought. My experience in Sunday School and Bible Studies are few realy dig into the Scripture, to the deapths where the solid truths behing the soft food is. I can see that you and others on this forum are far above thoes still being bottle fed. Blessings. justme |

70 | KJV Only Help | Bible general Archive 4 | justme | 232899 | ||
ccfromsc: Welcome to the Study Bible Forum. The King James only people are most always unmoveable and are determined never to give one inch in their point that all versions and translations are evil except the King James. I have debated, and had evidence that would have changed even King James himself, but over and over the results were the same. A few times some King james fan would not budge and refused to read what I had. I have had some say that some of the translators were homosexual, that non-believers slanted the words to belittle the Son of God. And the old stand by was the greek NT used was corrupted, that the KJV used the right one. In the end I came to the wisdom that the Lord would have me just love them and not to debate or dialogue the issue. It is unfruitful to try to show them their error, they generally just get mad and that is very unlike whar a christian should be or do. Blessings justme |

74 | speaking in tongues | Bible general Archive 4 | justme | 234197 | ||
I think if you read John and the book of Acts it will help form your own opinion. There are churches and some denominations that believe unless you utter an unknown language your salvation is incomplete and or you do not have the Holy Spirit living inside you. A persons opinion is just that, but looking to Scripture for what God has said is what matters. I believe you may find tongues is within Scripture. There maybe little Scriptural defense for suggesting unless you speak in tongues salvation is insufficie The subject of tongues is very important and you need to examine Scripture this for your self. So be very sure for yourself and do diligence in your reasearch. This may well take some time in searching the Scriptures. Blessings. justme |

77 | IS SAME SEX MARRIAGE ALLOWED? | Bible general Archive 4 | justme | 238147 | ||
Marriage is defined by The Holy Father as between a Man and a Woman. The only thing you have when two people of the same sex join themselves together sexually is homosexua;ity. That is completely against what God intends, thus a sin. Sex outside of marriage is always a sin. |

78 | Wife supports sinfull son | Bible general Archive 4 | justme | 238201 | ||
hsamot: I am fairly sure this situation is just the tip of the iceburg. There is clearly a division between you and your wife, and most likely the issue with this son is not the only problem between the two of you. My first question is are you both followers of Jesus Christ? Are regular involved in a church together? Do you each have a time of reading Scripture and pray? Do you ever pray together? Were your children brought up in church? Is this son your son, or her son from another marraige? this may seem like a lot of private questions, but any pastor or Chrostian marraige counselor worth a sprinkle of salt would ask these same qwuestions. After being a pastor I have heard things like this before. I wonder how your budget is set up, iy sounds like what you make is yours and what is hers is hers. Other wise you two whouls be coming to a choice as if and how th help your wayward son. He is clearly not comitted to being failtful, and supporting his family. This is hard for you both to deal with this sonful son. I suggest you first seek God and ask Him to give you wisdom. Perhaps seeking advice from your pastor, or a Christian marriage Counselor. I would read the book of James. and ask your wife to do the same. Pray for your son, but no longer keep aid going to him unless you both agree, until your pastor or counselor gives you a clear direction you both agree God has directed you both to do. You son needs to find Jesus Christ and follow Him. Go with God. |

79 | Is NASB study bible dispensational? | Bible general Archive 4 | justme | 238203 | ||
tgwin: Every Study Bible I have read has some slant, depending on the group of study note writters who wrote the notes. The NIV study BIble in Genesis 1 stuck in some notes that sure allow for Theolistic Eveloution. one example of bias. All Study Bible have a bias. I have my main Bibles that I use is just pure Scripture and verse reference's. I use word search materials to learn for myself, verse by verse. The study Bibles I do use are conserative, but I look for study Bibles that mainly have to do with historical back ground material. The only exception is the Life Application Study Bible. If you have a leaning to a specfic theological point of understanding then ask your Bible book store for that. Also CBD is a great help on this. Perhaps a study of the Millennium would help you come to your own understanding. One vert excllent book is THE MEANING OF THE MILLENNIUM FOUR VIEWS EDITED BY ROBERT G. CLOUSE. Inter Varsity Press. Make up your own mind not what you have been taught. Darby who really started Dispensational Theology, was just a man who has some questions of his own in his life. the Bible is able to be understood by the common christian, we do not have to take everything that someone has said hookline and sinker. Is the End of Times the most important thing for Christians? Or is it to be a Follower and a witness to share Christ with others? Any church that wants a huge full church, spends lots of time on end of times book of Reveloution. I personally have come to my own conclusion that Jesus Christ and FOLLOWING HIM and obeying is by far more worth my study. |

80 | what does the bible say about by racial | Bible general Archive 4 | justme | 238228 | ||
We know Moses had a racially mixed marraige. Today racially mixed marriages are more acceptable than in decades past. There will forever be people who have recail hatered. Even in christians there are people with bias. Jesus gave us the command to love no matter what the race, male or female, or anything that divides us. A admireable radio, TV speaker ends his talk with "Now go serve your King." I love that. |
