It has something to do with the program that pulls up the reference when you hover your cursor. What I do is to simply put the book and chapter then hit "return" to have the verse numbers separate from the chapter number. I also put the verse numbers next to the individual verses to which they belong. For an example, see my response to your post on unity. That seems to work best. PS. In regard to my post above, the Scripture reference is from the book of John chapter 1 verses one through fourteen). When I typed out the actual reference such as ( ) the program deletes it for some reason. PSS. I had typed the reference in the parenthesis note above, but when I post the reply it deletes the actual Bible Reference. I would like to note that when I look at it in preview it shows up in red, but after I post my reply it is gone??? Maybe someone can help me? I Am sorry if this is a bit off topic, but is anyone else having this problem?

Peace in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ
there are in many many ways people can view your situation..6 billion views...but the only view that matters is Jesus Christ view, he is your way to God.
What I read by what you wrote...that you have a baby with your now husband, do you have other children or does your husband? and who divorced who in the other marriages? if I may ask. why I ask is, If you both divorced coz lust for each other came over and made you divorce your first partners, to me that is the wordily way, so what is new in Christ now is the only thing that matters, cause IF YOU truly knew Jesus Christ with your first husband you would have stayed with him no matter what, because we are not to live anymore from the flesh(Flesh Must obey Jesus now) when we meet Jesus, but from the spirit, I don't know if you understand..but. It is the eyes of God only that can see your hearts true meaning in this matter and God cannot be deceived. you can tell people all you like how you feel about God, But it only matters the TRUTH GOD sees in your heart that you truly from the mind heart soul body seek HIM. why did Moses allow divorce, peoples heart was rock hard..now we have Jesus In our hearts, we cannot, will not, want not...but if we do, we do not know or have never known Jesus or we have died so in spiritually to think it's ok. FACT. so for you my friend repent, ask Jesus and you will Get answer I am 100%
Divorces are against God, but WORDILY do it, are we from the world? NO. so NO to Divorce. So were you from the world when you divorced(in your heart as well)? Jesus would never Divorce pure(God), holy(God), righteous(God), full of holy spirit(God), Good(God) and Sinless(Only over Come with GOD) person (there's a lot more that could be put here, only Godly though)..<---- if you were all that would you divorce?..... Holy Bible teaches.....Jesus is the way the truth and LIFE. God Bless you very very much.
Sister through Jesus Christ Hilja

John 8 1 Jesus went unto the mount of Olives.
2 And early in the morning he came again into the temple, and all the people came unto him; and he sat down, and taught them.
3 And the scribes and Pharisees brought unto him a woman taken in adultery; and when they had set her in the midst,
4 They say unto him, Master, this woman was taken in adultery, in the very act.
5 Now Moses in the law commanded us, that such should be stoned: but what sayest thou?
6 This they said, tempting him, that they might have to accuse him. But Jesus stooped down, and with his finger wrote on the ground, as though he heard them not.
7 So when they continued asking him, he lifted up himself, and said unto them, He that is without sin among you, let him first cast a stone at her.
8 And again he stooped down, and wrote on the ground.
9 And they which heard it, being convicted by their own conscience, went out one by one, beginning at the eldest, even unto the last: and Jesus was left alone, and the woman standing in the midst.
10 When Jesus had lifted up himself, and saw none but the woman, he said unto her, Woman, where are those thine accusers? hath no man condemned thee?
11 She said, No man, Lord. And Jesus said unto her, Neither do I condemn thee: go, and sin no more.
12 Then spake Jesus again unto them, saying, I am the light of the world: he that followeth me shall not walk in darkness, but shall have the light of life.

Peter's Helpmeet. I am sort of in the same boat as you are. It is very hard when there is a group of like minded believers so close to you but because of your past you can not join them in the way you would like to. It really hurts. Especially when you really can not see the scriptures in the same light as they do.
I am trying to figure out how we could home church with others. But we live in such a liberal state. Ohh to live in the Bible belt again!

It's not so great in the Bible-belt. Here we have to deal with the EVERYONE seems to saved phenomena even though their lives are a complete testimony of the world, the flesh, and the devil. I've said it before, but there will be little in the way of like-minded fellowship until some mature believers make the commitment and move close to each other and start something.

Amen and amen. It's not so great in the Bible-belt. Here we have to deal with the EVERYONE seems to saved phenomena even though their lives are a complete testimony of the world, the flesh, and the devil.
I've said it before, but there will be little in the way of like-minded fellowship until some mature believers make the commitment and move close to each other and start something. If you don't mind I'll add the tendency for cults too. We've seen those who withdrew from the mainstream churches to follow a man instead of God. One in the midwest in particular that comes to mind style themselves as Plain when their hearts are of full of hatred and judgement. They behave sweetly to newcomers hoping to draw them in. Once the person or family relocates to the group, the verbal abuse starts. The number of ex-members of that group is large and growing as they refuse to be abused any more and leave. Those who are most deceived by this group are young, lonely, naive or all of the above. We are called to help these victims as much as they want to be helped. Some have been so abused they are suspicious of anyone or anything. Let us pray for them. That midwest cult group is leaving a kind of spiritual carnage in the hearts of it's ex-members. God shall judge; we should heed the warning signs and try help the victims with prayer and encouragement. There's a forum thread on this very topic of cults here coveredbaptists.proboards.com/index.cgi?board=cults&action=display&thread=1516&page=2

Yes, amen, and YIKES! Sister G! We went and visited one of those churches. I have had at different times, a U.S. flag on the front of my home. I am not ultra-patriotic, (you know that if you know me,) neither am I "anti-American." I love, (am thankful) for my (earthly) country, and pray for it's preservation till the Lord comes back. Not that we deserve it, but for the sake of Christ-honoring believers and ministries. Anyways, I said all that to say this. We visited a new "church" and the pastor there knows me and had come to help cut up some trees that fell on my fence lines after a bad storm last year. He knew we were coming so the sermon was: How having an American flags makes you double minded in all of your ways and unstable! Nice, huh? We shrugged it off as petty and small. But he has never seen our smiling faces again. In a world that needs to see Jesus, (including myself) there are MUCH larger fish to fry than, do you have a flag or not. I don't know what he's have done if he heard my Sousa Marching Music CD! Hang in there, brethren. It's just signs of the times. Jesus is just up around the bend!

My husband likes to say: pick your battles. With heinous sin everywhere, the flag is small marbles.

Peter's Helpmeet, same boat here. It is very hard to know what to do. The only church my husband and I can agree on visiting is the mennonite church. We can't be members and it is a bit scary to think that they might turn their backs on us someday or think of us as some ungodly sinners because this is one doctrine we do not share with them.

Since I was not around when this go round happened, Ill put my two cents in now.
My father was the first of his family to drop everything and follow Jesus, he loved quoting the verse "let the dead bury the dead" He taught his children that when you found the truth, were convicted and convinced it was true, drop everything and run after it. When Christ said "let the dead bury the dead" "you must be born again" "pick up your cross and follow me" It all lead to "the old is dead, and behold your a new creature" (quoting from memory) Your past can not be undone, I attend an Amish Mennonite church, and fortunately in spite of myself and everything I have done wrong God has preserved my first marriage. But the Amish Mennonites come from a very sheltered background. My brothers and I have had deep talks on this very subject, and I have been told that they think God sent me there to wake them from their sheltered slumber. Yes you may have divorced and remarried, yes some churches may take a self righteous role and judge you for a sin that has already been committed, AND HAS BEEN FORGIVEN BY CHRIST, but remember as my my father told me "You go to church to Serve GOD not man" I agree with the fella who said that your being there in good faithful service to the word, in quite meek, humbleness is convicting, at least some of them. My brethren have told me that my familys coming, with words, phrases, speech, tones, worldly references, and outside news, has shaken up the congregation, and has made some of them realize that they have cut themselves off too much. God may have put you were you are not just for yourselves, but for someone in that congregation. Jesus said in
(2 Timothy 1:6-12)
16Behold, I send you forth as sheep in the midst of wolves: be ye therefore wise as serpents, and harmless as doves. 17But beware of men: for they will deliver you up to the councils, and they will scourge you in their synagogues; 18And ye shall be brought before governors and kings for my sake, for a testimony against them and the Gentiles. 19But when they deliver you up, take no thought how or what ye shall speak: for it shall be given you in that same hour what ye shall speak. 20For it is not ye that speak, but the Spirit of your Father which speaketh in you.
21And the brother shall deliver up the brother to death, and the father the child: and the children shall rise up against their parents, and cause them to be put to death. 22And ye shall be hated of all men for my name's sake: but he that endureth to the end shall be saved.
23But when they persecute you in this city, flee ye into another: for verily I say unto you, Ye shall not have gone over the cities of Israel, till the Son of man be come.
24The disciple is not above his master, nor the servant above his lord. 25It is enough for the disciple that he be as his master, and the servant as his lord. If they have called the master of the house Beelzebub, how much more shall they call them of his household?
Now I am not saying the people are necessarily evil, as not everyone in the time of Christ was, but empty vain traditions can be carried forth, and without thought people just follow, the sometimes forget that to God sin is sin, Paul oversaw and participated in the persecution and murder of members of the church, yet God saw fit to save him, then use him to spread the word to the Gentiles. God has forgiven you, now he may be asking you to suffer with him, so that none who were given to him shall be lost. Hang in there, smile and be sweet, understanding that they do not see that in persecuting you, family in Christ, they are sinning, but we win more flies with honey, my grandmother said, and sometimes a quite witness wins the day.
Brother in Christ fellow sharer of the cup Josh

When we clash, which is inevitable, only a sweet spirit will overcome. Unless it is stark heresy, we should forebear one another in love, preferring the other brother when we can, but in all things be a peacemaker. You might not be able to be a "member" as they define it, or take communion, but you can be a testimony to Christ's work in your life, and your love of the brethren.
