He used the ASV for study, but did not preach from it. As revealed by his magnum opus, Our God-Breathed Book the Bible, as clear as he was on inspiration, he did not have a high level understanding of textual criticism.

:( John MacArthur's Lordship Salvation, anyone? :( John's big error: The command to "take up your cross" was made to disciples, not lost people (Matt. 6:24). And I don't teach anyone to just say "Save me Jesus" (nor did Hyles, to be fair to him). There must be a full understanding of the...

Gasp! You poor man.:Frown

The method of soul winning in the pamphlet by Hyles Let's Go Soul Winning is not that bad, IMO. It uses Scripture extensively, and doesn't appear to inform the prospect that he is saved just by saying a prayer. The problem was that if put soul winning above the glory of God, you rush through the...

He would have strongly opposed the Sword becoming KJVO. His successor was Curtis Hutson, who later became so KJVO that he promoted Gail Riplinger's ridiculous book, New Age Bible Versions (published long after Rice's death). In my biography of Rice, I discuss his strong opposition to Peter...

Good post. I have Jackson's second book from 1968, which is very good:

It depends on the intruder. If he is simply there to cause trouble, the police will be called and he will be escorted out. If he comes in with a gun or knife and starts attacking people, we will take him down. I don't carry, but I would take a bullet for my pastor or a fellow church attender...

"From the Internet" is not sufficient sourcing. Come on, Van, we've been through this before.

Excellent post! I did not know this.

Good post. Thank you!

Can you share why you think a security team is wrong? As for armed security, almost none of us are armed (except for my fists :Biggrin). Let me explain more about what our security team does. 1. It prevents crime. Surely this is a good thing! Our head is a retired cop, so he can make arrests...

That's a confusing statement! :Cautious

I consider the "Turn the other cheek" thing to be just a slap. You don't aim for the cheek if you want to hurt someone. A slap just leaves a little pain but can't do any damage. So a slap is an insult rather than a serious attack. But on the other hand you're right--it doesn't say turn both cheeks!

Righto!

Do you believe that self defense is a divinely given right? Therefore, is it wrong or right to have a security team for your church? On another thread, Oseas3 seemed to be saying that it was wrong to have a church security team. When asked, all he would do is post Bible verses. Well, I have...

Excellent post. Thank you!

I don't object to a church having "elders" as long as they are not "ruling elders." You can't run a church or any other group with multiple leaders. One will lead naturally. I heard of a man who visited John Mac's church and talked to him and an "elder." When John left he told the elder, "Take...
