    Baptist rips John MacArthur

    You know, this is not the original BJU. When I was there in 1970-1972 it was anti-Calvinism, only about 65% Baptist, and rabid right wing fundamentalist. Nowadays it is mostly Calvinist, mostly Baptist, and closer to conservative evangelicalism than fundamentalism.

    Unapologetic Dispensational Truths - Is the KJV Required For Us to Believe It.

    There are good and bad professors, and good and bad scholars. There are fundamental and conservative and liberal scholars. It's a mixed bag. I believe that true scholarship is a search for truth, and I believe that Ryrie did that, though he is not a "hero" of some kind, just a seeker after...

    Baptist rips John MacArthur

    Well, at least JM never had a beard, unlike this Pidcock guy. That alone makes JM right and Pidcock wrong, doesn't it? :Rolleyes P. S. For full disclosure, I disagree vehemently with some things Pidcock wrote...but not all.

    Baptist rips John MacArthur

    None of this is relevant, IMO. It doesn't matter if the writer is a Baptist (JM was not), or where he went to college and seminary, or whether or not he is clean cut, or what publication allowed it. What matters is whether he spoke the truth or not. So, I suggest you go to the critic's website...

    Unapologetic Dispensational Truths - Is the KJV Required For Us to Believe It.

    Being a dispensationalist, I've been following this thread with interest. I'd like to point out some things from the history of the theology. 1. It's founder is generally conceded to be John Nelson Darby (1800-1882). He was a Brethren founder and evangelist. I've read his biography and some of...

    My growing list of Baptist history books

    My go to Baptist histories: The Baptist Heritage, by H. Leon McBeth. Published in 1987, it's pretty up to date for a Baptist history. It's being used as a seminary textbook. 822 pages of gold! Short History of the Baptists, by H. C. Vedder. This 1907 book is a real classic.

    Unapologetic Dispensational Truths - Is the KJV Required For Us to Believe It.

    Yes, I'm pretty sure JM's church is 5 point Calvinist, so I'm sure they teach that, a typical Calvinist teaching. As for Baptist churches that teach that, the Reformed Baptists and the Sovereign Grace Baptist churches probably would. The typical independent Baptist churches (my crowd) would not...

    Unapologetic Dispensational Truths - Is the KJV Required For Us to Believe It.

    Actually there are Calvinists who are dispensationalists: John MacArthur and his church and schools, Detroit Baptist Theological Seminary (4 points), and others.

    Should a Christians be Involved in Martial Arts then

    Yea, great fighter. I met him once. Saw him defeat Joe Corley in Atlanta for the world professional karate championship in 1975. He's still active.

    Should a Christians be Involved in Martial Arts then

    That's my opinion and I'm sticking to it. They both were awesome fighters, but that day Chuck was better due to his superior fighting strategy and patience.

    Should a Christians be Involved in Martial Arts then

    Depends on the circumstances. Does the samurai know that the ninja is there? :Geek

    Should a Christians be Involved in Martial Arts then

    Yeah, it is a great story! The way Mike Crain told it, he strictly warned Jordan not to try to sit up until Mike told him to, but Jordan did anyway, and that caused the cut. Many years later Crain and Jordan were at the same event after Jordan became famous, and someone said to Jordan, "Hey...
