CHURCHES: **Over 15,000 churches will close in 2025; only about 4,000 new churches will be started **46% of Americans believe church is important to them now, down from average of 70% for last 6 decades **Over half of churches in America cannot pay their pastor a full-time salary (many part-time...

I pointer. I've always held that if a person truly believes man is completely unable to seek, search, will, want, desire, decide, do good (in sight of God), make righteous decisions, incapable of one iota of salvation, that man's will is 100% in bondage to our sin nature, then man MUST realize...

Won't argue either, but "other side of the fence"?? It's up to man to understand and figure it out . . . and some smart ones will and other dumb ones won't? That seems horrifically close to "works" salvation instead of God's grace salvation.

Foreign translators CAN'T use the same Greek the Anglicans used in 1611 since that collection of Greek texts DOES NOT EXIST. Remember, it is not ONE document, but many that were compiled as considered the "best" and history records that compilation was burned. Now the sect simply has to say...

The repentance/faith in the Gospel (obviously implying a true God, true worship, true sinfulness that demands salvation) is very clear. BUT you must have a soul-level change in the person reading or hearing it so that they WILL understand. Left on our own, man is incapable of this spiritual...

I cannot imagine an entire settlement of English men/women/children simply "assimilated" with natives and no trace found? That is beyond a stretch. I could envision a battle, men killed and women/children assimilated. But there would be evidence of this.

They are pitied. Seriously. A sect of bibliolaters that are not even worshiping the Bible, but man's translation. They claim perfection and then redefine "perfect" so that all the errors, added words, messed up doctrine is now "perfect" and the standard (which perfect should be - the standard)...

The AV Anglicans changed GOD'S Word. At least they were honest and but their man-made "sin" words in italics so we could see they were NOT God's Word, but man's guess. Other English translations eliminated the added man-made words. Some added their own words. Don't blame man. They are...

Sad confusion of an English translation of God's actual words with God's actual words. Apples and oranges. UNLESS one believes the heresy of second inspiration, that in 1611 God breathed new words in English to the Anglican priests to give a perfect revelation to replace the God-breathed...

Makes no sense whatsoever, bro

I did big national events (made into movies for National Historic Military Parks) with 20,000 at First Manassas, Shiloh, Antietam, Gettysburg, Sailor's Creek/Petersburg, and Appomattox. Most events were smaller, local with a few hundred soldiers. Also did living history encampments. But I was...

More Baptist churches in Dallas than in entire state of Wyoming

No. Flew in there for big national evens (20k soldiers) in Lynchburg/Appomattox area, Petersburg.

What is a church? It is an organized body of believers, meeting together for edification, observing the ordinances, and fulfilling the great commission to preach the Gospel, baptize, and disciple believers. The church needs elders in leadership; it may need deacons to serve as numbers demand...

Asinine is too kind a word for such loopy brains.

Looking at the destruction he did in Georgia and South Carolina, I think Sherman would have been proud to have a tank named after him.

Don't believe everything you read here. Test it with the Word.

WARNING: Back on topic please, not nit-picking at Calvinism/Arminian for which we have another forum. Anyone opt to try to skew this away from the issue of the SBC's vote in favor but NOT a big enough majority to dismiss churches that have ordained women as pastors. THAT is the topic. Want a...

As a re-enactor for decades, I served with Company B, 5th Texas Regiment, Hood's Brigade in a number of battles. Pix of me and daughter when I volunteered for the 5th Also galvanized to blue as sgt in Company I, 3rd Voluntary Infantry Regiment (Confederate POW's from Rock Island Arsenal Camp)...

Nothing but "amen" from this pew. Was appalled at Broadway "Hamilton" type show, many movie "sequels" never as good as original, TV shows like "Matlock", "Anne with an E", "Hawaii 5-0", "Charlie's Angels" = UGH
