Excellent! Thanks for posting this. I made a retreat at an Anglican monastery some years back. They followed 'The Daily Office' based on The Lectionary of The Book of Common Prayer. In the course of a month they 'prayed the entire Psalter' twice and most of the Bible was read through in a two...

And, neither was Melchizedek a pre-incarnate Christ (as I was taught at California Baptist University). Melchizedek is not a pre-incarnate appearance of Jesus, but rather a historical personage who serves as a type or prefiguration of Christ. He is a priest-king of Salem (prace) who offers...

Exactly-Thessalonians 4:16 ("archangel's voice")—is rejected because “with an archangel's voice” implies a characteristic of the voice, not that Jesus is the archangel.

PNW also, but we are expecting snow tonight

The book.by the Protestant, N.T. Wright, 'What Paul Really Said' regarding justification turns the position that Charlie has been fed and keeps repeating on it's head.

Very informative via The Office of The Anglican Communion: The Joint Declaration On Justification. I also appreciate the perspective of N.T. Wright on this historic declaration: https://www.anglicancommunion.org/media/460306/ecumenism_joint-declaration_2019_en.pdf

That is a distortion of what the Church teaches. The Church doesn't teach works based salvation. Do you have the right relationship with Christ? Have you sincerely sought God? I have read many of your posts on the BB, I know the answer to these questions.

That's because there's NO writings of anyone in the Early Church that supports the claim that there were Baptistic type churches anywhere. Even Waldensians were Catholic to the core.

While the roles were fluid in the Apostolic age, by A.D. 110, Ignatius of Antioch (Disciple of St. John) established that bishops, priests, and deacons were distinct and essential to the Church's structure. The Church grew and evolved. There are many things in Baptist churches that you don't...

Welcome back, Cathode! So glad you were log in again.

Spot on!

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...
