Setting aside the "whataboutism" in the first link, let's move on to the second. If you looked at the second, you would readily see that it was written in 2021, before Fiducia Supplicans was published earlier this month. First, Fiducia Supplicans does not envisage a blessing as regularizing...

While some of the 19th century English Baptists did posit a chain-link successionism (Orchard, for example), I believe the rise of the Landmark Baptist movement was given great impetus by the spread of the Restorationist movement (primarily the Churches of Christ in the South), which maintained...

The "living water" is a requirement for the Jewish mikveh, a common mode of purification introduced in the Second Temple period and still used today. The pools were common in the first century but were predominantly used by the wealthy because it was beyond the means of the poor. I've read that...

These things happen. Several years ago, at the end of the service, a member came down for prayer and asked to talk to the congregation about how he had come through a dark time and was making his way back to God. Turns he'd had an affair (his wife was in the congregation that day) and he went on...

Funny. I knew even before reading it that the "prominent Democrat" was Manchin. He's soon to be either not prominent or not a Democrat. He has wielded outsized influence because of the slim margin of the Democrats in the Senate. He will either switch parties or be defeated or make some quixotic...

Yes, Wilbur. Sorry.

This is the position of Wilbur Pickering, whose Greek New Testament is based on Family 35, which he claims has the “precise original wording of the NT." That NT is the basis for his translation, The English New Testament According to Family 35. The family shows a very high degree of similarity...

Charges dropped for man arrested for disorderly conduct at Reading Pride flag raising

I would venture that John and Mr. Gill are on the right track. The hypostatic union is a mystery to me, yet it is clear from Scripture that God is immutable, and every person in the Godhead must be immutable as well and their relations must be immutable.

Not that I would give advice to Southern Baptists, but they should oppose this idea. What would happen if all denominational bodies had someone who is "competent, gracious and honest"? May it never be!

It at least appears to be outdated. Judging from the translations mentioned, it would be more than 20 years old. The ESV was published in 2001 and it appears nowhere, even though it's one of the top sellers. The TEV has not existed since 2001, when it was renamed the Good News Bible. Other major...

It is not necessary to quote entire articles by Will Kinney. A couple of paragraphs and the link is sufficient. This is true everywhere on the Baptist Board. Posts that quote substantially all of an article will be edited.

At the same time, how edifying is it to ordinary Christians to fight about the procession of the Holy Spirit (which divided East from West) and the exact definition of the nature (or natures) of Christ (which split the Orthodox from the Oriental Orthodox). l'm all for sound doctrine, but...

Most of the Christian sects we're familiar with are Chalcedonian Trinitarians. There are a number of groups in Africa and Asia that are non-Chalcedonian Trinitarians, as well as more familiar groups like Jehovah's Witnesses, Mormons and Oneness Pentecostals who are non-Trinitarians (and thus...

Wescott-Hort "for the most part." Montgomery's Centenary New Testament by Sharyn Dowd

You can argue all you want, but the song is about a mystical experience (for lack of better terminkology) that the author had about Mary Magdalene visiting the tomb.

Since there appear to be no more substantive comments, only personal vituperation, this thread is closed. Please, members, attempt to avoid the kind of personal attacks that are evident on this thread.

How new is new? Touching as meaning sexual relations was the interpretation that John Gill took from the text in the 18th century. Pardon for quoting at length: John Gill Commentary I'm not arguing whether Gill is correct or not, but that the interpretation is not at all new.
