I don't doubt that there are still students and faculty that are biblically sound and take their commitment to Jesus seriously at George Fox U. But, from what I have heard and read regarding the behavior of much of the student body, it appears to me that George Fox is going the way of the world...

Oh, for Pete's sake! George Fox University here in Oregon is pretty liberal if you ask me! Are you familiar with their position on LGBTQXYZ? That's all you need to know about how 'evangelical' they are. The University is up the road from us and I have close friends with kids there. Quite the...

You know far more about the Quakers than I do. This is why I became a member of the BB. I don't think there's been a visit I have made to this board that I have not learned something new. Thanks for sharing this.

I am not familiar with them, but I am happy to see a Bible believing association of Friends congregations exists. My first two years as an undergraduate in college were at Biola university in LA Mirada, CA. I often attended church with other Biola students at Granada Heights Friends Church...

Not the ones I know in Oregon anyway. There are evangelical Friends congregations in California but I believe they are in a minority. I love their pacifist positions though but most seem to be very liberal theologically. The Quakers had a big presence in the Gay Pride parade in Eugene, Oregon.

Thanks for posting this. Many years ago I spent my first two years at Biola. I can't tell you how many WASTED hours were spent debating The Eschatology Mill. This was right after Hal Lindsey published 'The Late Great Planet Earth'. I remember driving by a Baptist church, each corner of their...

Oseas3 also claims that the Holy Spirit is Jesus brother with no biblical support. Many of his whacked out claims but him in the lunatic fringe of Christianity. He usually just makes some absurd claims followed with long cut & paste excepts of biblical text that never support his claims. If...

Amen Thanks for posting this

I wasn't aware the Ev Free church downplayed baptism. Nothing the UU does or doesn't do surprises me.

I am so sorry to hear that your wife passed. I can't imagine the grief from such a loss, but I one day will. The state of Christian churches here in Oregon is sad. Many church closings and the ones not closing are aging out. The majority of people I have worked with in Oregon describe...

Discipleship is essential to any church in the business of following Jesus and there are those who might argue that baptism and communion don't necessarily need to take place in a gathering of a church body. To me, when Jesus said baptize and observe His supper they weren't suggestions. When...

The difficulty I have always had with Quakers is they do not observe either communion or baptism. Or, at least most do not observe them as ordinances. Also, there's are Quakers (Friends) churches which are every bit as liberal as the denominations in decline you mentioned and others that are...

Well, Cathode is having tech problems logging on to the BB, so until that is resolved you only have one Catholic to kick around for a while, lol. Here is a Catholic answers perspective about two stories that seem contradictory: Matthew's Gospel (Joseph's Perspective) Key Figures: Joseph...

Why do you suppose that this particular forum exists. It is an 'other denominations/other Christians forum'. The purpose is to discuss our various doctrines and hopefully learn from each other. I appreciate your respect for the list of Catholics in your post. I always appreciate your...
