Romans 13:1 applies to whoever is sitting in the White House including (God Forbid! I am just being hyperbolic here) Alexandria Ocasio Cortez should she ever get elected President!:Frown:eek::Cry:Sick Which could very well happen as an act of God's divine judgment! But Romans 13:1 still...

Praying for you my brother!

I guess we see this from differing perspectives. Korah, Dathan, and Abiram were tyrants usurping the authority of Moses. Perhaps if they were not dealt with in the manner which they were, they would've risen up showing themselves to be such tyrants as did the later scribes, pharisees, and other...

That Peter was a leader among the apostles is undeniable. What is clear though is that he was never an "Overseer" over the other apostles and Jesus made this quite clear right after he charged Peter to "Feed his sheep." Then Peter, turning about, seeth the disciple whom Jesus loved following...

I can appreciate this and in such a spirit, we may continue to have reasonable and substantive dialogue. According to Catholic rationale, Luther was a priest ordained through apostolic succession was he not? Not that I believe this but according to my understanding, this is the core basis of...

Can we not explain this with the account of Noah's worldwide flood? Prior to the flood, men were living 900+ years and reptillian creatures lived long enough to become very big. We also understand that the meterological conditions were quite different with scientists attesting that the entire...

(תּוֹלְדָה) toledah is used in the Hebrew text to speak of generations, genealogy, family record, historical account, and unfolding of events. In the context of Gen 2:4, I believe it is speaking of the historical record.

Whatever your position on the "rapture," I believe it important that we make the observation that a "first resurrection" implies another that follows even though the GWT Judgment says "And I saw the dead, small and great, stand before God..." Jn 5:29 says the "resurection of life" and the...

I was using a broader definition of "Denomination" referring to all Baptists as being a single denomination although we often narrow the scope to distinguish separate denominations from these larger groups.

Several things do not make sense here. First of all, the Evangelical-Free Church is very much a denomination in the same respects that "Baptist" is a denomination. Like Baptists, each church is autonomous with no governance outside of the local congregation and like some baptists, they may not...

Don't you know? The Japanese people all need to learn English and hear the gospel out of the King James Version in order to be saved!</sarcasm>

I completely agree but Catholics who are genuinely "Christian" (Possess a genuine saving faith and personal walk with Christ) are not likely the ones coming onto Baptist forums with their guns ablazing telling us all how we are all wrong! Not that I am questioning anyone's salvation or anything...

Why would Southern Baptists refusal to do a confession have anything to do with what the Northern Convention is up to? This is just plain dumb! I thought Baptists were supposed to be "Independent" and "Autonomous!":Rolleyes

The sum of all church history. On post #16, I stated that in the historic confessions, protestants agree far more than they disagree. Interpreting scripture is not rocket science - unless you want it to say something aside from what is obvously written. I can go to an Astros game at Minute...

No, they do not. The Roman Catholic Church as it is known today is as far removed as can be from the original apostolic teachings. I have already addressed this of which you have conveniently ignored.
