81 | Was Paul single or married? | 1 Cor 7:8 | TheCurtMan | 92111 | ||
I would be very interested in sending you a study bible. The John MacAuthur Study Bible, in the New King James Version if you give me an address to mail it to. And maybe anyother book you may desire if my pockets allow it. I made a reference to a book that you probably do not have and can not obtain easily. My apologies. At the very lest, I can put that book in your hands. Contact me at The CurtMan000@AOL.Com. I can check with some other brothers and sisters who make a ministry out of putting the right resources in the hands who desire it. If it be the Lords will, we can probably send an entire libary to Italy. The CurtMan |

82 | Was Paul single or married? | 1 Cor 7:8 | TheCurtMan | 92107 | ||
Hank, I'm not quite sure how to put this one, but I wasn't saying that Paul DID have a problem with the way that God was running things, I was suggesting that if I was to correctly understand the point of view given me, that might be a conclusion that I would draw. Believe it or not Hank, I've been known to draw some inaccurate conclusions in my time. I wasn't so much suggesting biblical fact, but personal conclusion. This making any sense to you?? Before my post, I was having a difficult time believing that it was better to be single than to be married. I've been married ten yrs. Best thing that ever happened to me, therefore I was not comprehending that it is better to be single. |

OK, so I was close. I had the right neighborhood, but the wrong church, it happens. | ||||||
85 | How does any Homosexual believe they are | Rom 1:19 | TheCurtMan | 91690 | ||
Hey RM2, Good to hear from you too. Needless to say my encounters with you have always been educational. The question I asked had a purpose, a destination, the place is I Corinthians, the purpose is this: What’s your take on Carnal Christians?? According to chp.1, v.2 Paul greeted the church and called them saints. In chp. 3, v.3 he called them Carnal, as a matter of fact he alluded to their carnality about three or four different times within the first three chapters. Thereafter and throughout the rest of the book he listed their shortcomings. To say that the Corinthian Church was just short of perfect would be a gross understatement. Now a Carnal Mind can not please God, neither can a Carnal Christian, but they were Christians, they were saints, and at some point and time their eternal resting-place becomes an issue. My focus is on the fact that they were Carnal and they were Saints, What’s your take on this?? The CurtMan |

86 | Was Paul single or married? | 1 Cor 7:8 | TheCurtMan | 91681 | ||
Maybe I'm a little slow in getting the point, but how do you relate this to Gen. 2:18?? Marriage was instituted by God before the fall of man. God said that "It is not good for man to be alone". When I read I Cor. 7:7, I get the impression that Paul was saying that he would that all men be like him, meaning that we should devote more time to tending to God's business without allowing the extra added concerns of marriage life to prohibit us. According to this verse, I believe that Paul was indicating that both marriage life and single life is a gift from God. Besides, even if Paul was married as a Pharisee, he maintained his status as a Pharisee without allowing his marriage life to interfere. He has always been diligent to the office he held. I'm just having a difficult time accepting that being single is better than being married. And just for the record, rather Paul was speaking by permission or commandment, you still have to deal with II Tim. 3:16. So how far off base do you think I am?? The CurtMan |

RM2, The King James Version of Romans 8:6-8 uses the term 'Carnal Mind'. It is the Carnal Mind that is not subject to the law of God, neither indeed can be. How do you define the term carnal mind?? The CurtMan |

88 | A Perversion of the Truth-Gal. 1:7 | Gal 1:8 | TheCurtMan | 91057 | ||
That my friend is nothing but the truth. One particular arena that we are blessed in is that we both have someone to care for us. Our wives, friends, and church members. Not everyone is so blessed. I work in a hospital. One that is mostly for the elderly. It's heartbreaking to see the patients go through what they go through all by themselves. It's like they have no one to care for them. | ||||||

91 | A Perversion of the Truth-Gal. 1:7 | Gal 1:8 | TheCurtMan | 90787 | ||
Well Justme, you've offered me two different and fresh perspectives. One is my name, I've never heard that one before, however, you are right. I am one of those happy go lucky with a cornball since of humor type guy, so don't worry about me being offended. The second is your perspective on Romans 8:28-29. As far as my illness, and that verse was concerned, I kinda looked at it from a different point of view. God knew before I was born that I was going to end up being his child. He protected me from others and others from me until that time came. He also knew that getting my attention, although not impossible, wasn't going to be to easy either. The thing with pain is, the right amount of it will just about always bring a person to call on the name of the Lord. Ever notice that?? I saw Romans 8:28-29 as God using what was at His disposal to get my attention in such a way I didn't turn my back on Him nor run. Plus I have a testimony that make most Dr's stand up and take notice. Through my illness, however painful it may be at times, I have escaped spiritual death, and ten yrs. overdue on the physical one. In my opinion, that's how my God, worked my illness out to my good and helped me to want to conformed to the image of His Son. Any thoughts or comments?? The CurtMan |

92 | What is Mark of Cain? Where in the Bilbe | Gen 4:15 | TheCurtMan | 90564 | ||
Well EdB, that's a very good point. But at the time I didn't see it that way. Being of that particular race, I decided to leave the Mormon Church. According to their beliefs, we would be the absolute last; the bottom of the barrell; after everyone else, to enter into the Kingdom of God. I had a problem with that when I compared it to Romans 3:23. What made my skin a worse sin then their actions?? No one could answer that one. But since they were striving for Godhood anyway, they were just short of perfect, or trying to be, which was something that I could never accomplish because of the Curse of Cain. The CurtMan |

My Pen name is not what I am?? Is that a good thing or bad?? This I got to know. Hear my testimony. At the age of thirteen, I was diagnosed with a blood deficiency, Sickle Cell Anemia. When I say that I can relate to your pain, trust me with this, I’ve been living with it all my life. The doctors told me that by the time I hit my late twenties, I’d have no control of bodily functions, mentally or physically. They said that I wouldn’t survive my early thirties. God had a different set of plans. I’m thirty-nine, I have complete control of my body, and the only one who thinks I’m mentally challenged is my wife, but hey what do she know?? I’ve been happily married for ten years plus. That was a hard decision for my wife. She had to face the fact that one morning when she woke up; I might not be there. We married anyway. I still go through what is medically called a Sickle Cell Crisis. Bill Cosby was described labor pains this way, he said take your bottom lip and stretch it over the back of your head, then you’ll get and idea of what labor pains feel like. What I go through is two to three times worse than labor pains. God has used my illness to draw me closer to Him. I am a living example of His grace and mercy. But for all the pain that we go through, that does not compare to the suffering of the unsaved. I wouldn’t wish my illness on my worst enemy; therefore I would have no problem jumping whatever hurdle necessary to get the gospel across to anyone who listens to me. Seems like we have a number of things in common. The CurtMan |

Brother BradK Thanks for the correction. I was aware of the term that was being referred to, but since neither is in the bible, I decided to go with the term that was already in play. You are absolutely right about knowing the difference between good bibically based theology and a perversion of the truth. You have any suggestions on how two brothers who believe in the same thing can get that point across?? |

First of all I toally agree with you in referrence to the tone of these notes. A lot of times they tend to come across harsher then intended. If I came across that way then my apologies, it was truly unintentional. As far as witnessing is concerned, I can only speak from my personal experiences. I find that there are a variety of reasons why Christians do not witness the way we should. But all these reasons have one common denominator, the adversary. If he could get us not to do the things that God would have us to do through fear, selfishness, time, or whatever the reason, then he has accomplish something. I have not always been crazy about sharing the things of God. There was a time when I wasn’t even interested in God. But through the Holy Spirit, God chaned all that. He wanted to use me in the circle I was in. He was willing to teach me the things I would need to know to accomplish His will. All He required from me was my willingness to be obedient. You ask me of any thoughts, well my thought is this, PRAYER, plain and simple. If we as Christians would ask the Father to make us the witnessness He would have us to be, He will honor that prayer. It is after all in accordance with His will. Besides, it worked for me. I am not on the spiritulal level I should be on, or even could be on, but I am willing. It also worked for Abraham, Isaac, Moses, and the rest of the prophets. Everyone was willing, no one was perfect, and God used each one in the compacity that they were in, and He equiped EVERYONE with what they needed to get the job done. What an awesome God we serve.

97 | A Perversion of the Truth-Gal. 1:7 | Gal 1:8 | TheCurtMan | 90378 | ||
Greetings Justme, Actually I do have a thought. By studying the truth, it is easy to spot a counterfit, but those who are studying the counterfit, doesn't know it's a counterfit, they believe it to be true. Personally I believe that if you can gain their perspective on how they are understanding scripture, then it is easier to explain where the problem is. Many Christians know what they believe to be true, but alot of christians have a difficult time explaining the truth. I find that one of the reasons for this is because of a lack of understanding. No one is really bothering to understand the other persons perspective on scripture. If you can get that understanding, then explaining the truth is alot easier. But that still doesn't mean that they are going to accept it, all it means is that I've done all I could to get the truth across. Besides, on a personal note, if find it somewhat educational. You wouldn't believe how some people can come to the wrong conclusion about scripture. An inaccurate interptation of scripture, will lead to an inaccurate application of scripture. The CurtMan |

Good Morning Good News Minister, Sorry it took me so long to respond to your last message, but I’ve been away for awhile. Hebrews 1:8 is one of those verses that Christians use to affirm the divine deity of Christ. In Hebrews 1:8, God the Father Himself affirms Jesus’ deity by calling Him God. Not a god, but God. Ok, lets take this out into left field and bring it home. In a Watchtower publication called Reasoning from the Scripture, pg. 64, under the heading, ‘How can we be sure the Bible has not been changed, is this: “It is true that some translations of the Bible adhere more closely to what is in the original languages than others do. Modern paraphrase Bibles has taken liberties that at times alter the original meaning. Some translators have allowed personal beliefs to color their renderings. But these weaknesses CAN BE IDENTIFIED by comparison of a variety of translations. Hebrews 1:8-9 Amplified Version But as to the Son, He says to Him, Your throne O God is forever and ever, and the scepter of your kingdom is a scepter of absolute righteousness-of justice and straightforwardness. v. 9 You have loved righteousness-You have delighted in integrity, virture and uprightness in purpose, thought and action-and You have hated lawlessness. Therefore God, Your God has anointed You with the oil of exultant joy and gladness above and beyond your companions. King James Version But unto the Son He saith, Thy throne, O God, is forever and ever; a scepter of righteousness is the scepter of thy kingdom. v. 9 Thou hast loved righteousness, and hated iniquity; therefore God, even they God, hath anointed thee with the oil of gladness above thy fellows. New King James Version But to the Son He says, Your throne O God is forever and ever; a scepter of righteousness is the scepter of your kingdom. v. You have loved righteousness and hated lawlessness, therefore God; Your God has anointed You with the oil of gladness more than your companions. New American Standard Version But of the Son He says, Thy throne O God is forever and ever, and the righteous scepter is the scepter of His kingdom. v. 9 Thou hast loved righteousness and hated lawlessness. Therefore God, Thy God hath anointed Thee with the oil of gladness above Thy companions. New International Version But about the Son He says, Your throne O God will last forever and ever, and righteousness will be the scepter of your kingdom. v. 9 You have loved righteousness and hated wickedness, therefore God; Your God has set you above your companions by anointing You with the oil of gladness. New World Translation But with reference to the Son, God is your throne forever and ever, and scepter of your kingdom is the scepter of uprightness. v. 9 You loved righteousness and you hated lawlessness. That is why God, your God, anointed you with the oil of exultation more than your partners. The New World Translation is not relaying the same message. EVERYPLACE in scripture where the Godhead of Jesus is affirmed, The New World Translation twists it to imply something else. And you’re wondering why Ron Rhodes has a problem with this? He’s not the only one; most true believers that take bible study seriously have a problem with this. Run the same analyzes on John 1:1 and the results will be the same, The New World Translation sticks out like a sore thumb; it goes in the opposite direction. The New World Translation is the PERFECT EXAMPLE of how the Bible should not be translated. |

Good Morning Truthfinder I have the info. you requested. 'All the Divine Names and Titles in the Bible', by Herbert Lockyer. Published by Zondervan Publishing House Grand Rapids, Michigan. Pg. 5, under, 'The Names and Titles of God the Father', par. 3, "In the beginning God-Gen. 1:1-as well as in the other references, the name is in the plural, and is a foregleam of the trinity acting in Unity. Ex. 20:11; Col. 1:16; and Job 26:13. God 'plural' said let us make man in our image. Gen. 1:26. Just outta curiosity, who was God talking to when He said, "let US make man in our image"?? Also, you might want to try looking at The Theological Wordbook of the Old Testament, Vol. 1, by Moody Press. It says this, "...a better reason can be seen in Scripture itself where , in the very first chapter of Gen, the necessity of a term conveying both the unity of the one God and yet allowing for a plurality of persons is found. It goes on futher to say this, "The New Testament does not teach one God who acted in three modes, modalism, but one divine being who exists in three persons who are co-equal and co-eternal.The main point is that the Bible clearly declares one God in three persons all of whom are God. Note what Paul said about Jesus, and remember, this was not easy for him, as he was a Hebrew of Hebrews, a Pharisee. He wrote of Jesus, "looking for the blessed hope ad the appearing of the golry of our great God AND Savior, Christ Jesus." |

Good News Minister, What have I said to give you the impression that I'm upset with you?? Just because we do not see Eye to Eye on scripture is by no means reason enough to get upset over. I am not upset with you. I'm sadden by your spiritual delima, but I'm not upset with you. Luke 16 tends to indicate that when a person is condemned eternally, not only do they suffer, but they suffer with the ability to remember their past. They have the ability to remember people who tried to keep them from receiving the eternal punishment they did. Do I believe in Heaven; Hell and the Trinity?? YES I DO, with all my heart, mind and soul. The biblical evidence is too strong to ignor. Unless you are intentionally blinded by the fact, and you are, and that's what saddens me. But even scripture indicates that the carnal mind can not accept the things of God. However; I am rather interested in names of theologians who you know that agree with the doctrine of the Watchtower; or maybe their interpretation of John 1:1. Oh, and one final note. Just because the JW's go door to door doesn't mean that they are spreading the truth. The Watchtower Bible and Tract Society has already proven themselves to be a false prophet, and this is the doctrine that you willingly choose to follow. One of us is right, and the other is dead wrong. We both believe we're right, but only time will tell. Please get back with me with those names. The CurtMan |
