I Kant tell. :Cool

Thanks for the clarifications. Sigh. I have to return to the paper being presented on existential theology and worldview. :oops:

I remember the name, but don't know anything about him. You're probably right, but if so I'm surprised that he was given a doctorate. I don't have time to explain the whole story of where your definition came from, but I will just say:n 1. It's not a theological definition, but a popular one...

What you are describing here is not legalism according to any theological definition, but more of a cultural definition. It is a way to accuse fundamental Baptists of legalism without any explanation. ("Those guys insist on dresses on women. What legalism!") The only way this description would...

We fundamentalists strongly object to this view of "legalism." Simply having standards of dress, etc., is not legalism, though many anti-fundamentalists like to say it is. If simply having rules or standards is legalism, then all Baptist churches with a church constitution are legalistic. Here...

I understand, I think. There are some fundamentalists like you mention, but few in my circles. As for Westboro BC, it is not nor has it ever been a true fundamental Baptist church. I know of no fundamental Baptist which would approve of them, and I know many, many fundamentalists. They are...

I found Smith online. He is from the "Christian Church," and therefore I reject him as a fundamentalist. The Church of Christ/Christian Church is a separate historical movement from fundamentalism. Furthermore, that movement believes in baptismal regeneration, definitely not a fundamentalist...

Right now a young prof from Pensacola Theological Seminary is presenting his very interesting paper. He is in the PhD program at Midwestern, an SBC school. Looking at the faculty list at this large fundamentalist seminary, I see a direction away from a strict KJVO view: Graduate Studies Faculty...

This is a narrow view of modern fundamentalism. There are other fundamental groups: the IFCA, "God's Bible College" in Cincy, the Bible Presbyterians, John Macarthur's group (he told my uncles he was a fundamentalist), conservative SBC leaders (who sometimes would rather not use the term but in...

Who in the world is Gerald Smith? Never heard of him and I've been a fundamentalist all my life and studied it for years. So you are a conservative evangelical rather than a "New Evangelical."

In the academic world, we reject Wikipedia because it is anonymous and so often wrong. At my college and seminary, we do not allow the students to use this source, "Got Questions?" and similar sources for research papers. I would rebut this Wikipedia article and its many errors, but it would...

The main thing I would disagree with here is the equating of fundamentalism with the "Christian right." They are two separate movements, though with some overlap. In about 1978 I attended a "Moral Majority" meeting, and when Falwell (or whoever was in charge) had a Catholic priest lead in...

The charge of "legalism" against fundamentalism is old but usually false, made by those who do not understand the fundamentalist doctrine of personal separation. (I do not say it is never true.) Simply making a list of rules is not legalism, if that is what you are referring to. (A church...

Thanks!

I've watched a few clips on YouTube. They're crazy, but it's as much baseball as the Harlem Globetrotters play basketball. Saw the Globetrotters in person in Tokyo. Loved it!

Someone mentioned the armor passage in Eph. 6. Paul used personal combat illustrations there and in 1 Cor. 9:26-27. The word "wrestle" there is the Greek pa-leh (πάλη), a form of wrestling similar to American "catch as catch can" ("catch" for short) or Olympic freestyle. (Abe Lincoln was a...

Thank you! Great information about Krav Maga, which I know little about. I found it interesting that Imi started with wrestling, which is a combat sport, though few think of it as that. I used my high school wrestling in my one and only street fight. Some of the best UFC fighters have started...

Interesting. I didn't know that.

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.

Wait, so the coal in my stocking that one year was foreordained??
