Excellent points. And there having been a worldwide flood, absolutely every aspect of geology would have been completely changed. Modern science has absolutely no way, no methodology to determine what the earth was like before the flood, and what exact changes took place with the flood. This...

Why would it be so that a fundamentalist cannot be a Calvinist? I see nothing in Calvinism that forbids one from standing for the fundamentals and rebuking liberalism and other false doctrines. That's what fundamentalism is, fundamentally: standing for the fundamental doctrines and taking a...

It seems to me that we need a definition of fundamentalism here. A fundamentalist historically is not simply one who believes the fundamentals of the faith: the verbal inspiration of Scripture, the virgin birth and deity of Christ, etc. If that were true, then Billy Graham, Francis Schaeffer...

Great!

Are you somehow implying that fundamentalists don't know how to research? Bauder is a well known fundamentalist scholar. There are many others. James Price got his PhD in Hebrew from Dropsy, and was an OT editor of the NKJV and the HSB. My son is a recognized scholar in Petrine studies with a...

Praying "to the dead" as Catholics do is a completely pagan custom. It is what occurs at a Buddhist funeral, and then later in the home of the loved ones. A photo is set up of the dead loved one, and family members and others then speak specifically to the dead person, praying to them. I have...

Boy has this thread devolved, especially considering that this particular forum was created years ago so that we fundamentalists could have a place to flee from those opposed to fundamentalism!

Yeah, I'm not sure what he is saying either. :Thumbsdown

I don't really see anything here for me to answer. You're just talking a about your own position and how you came to it.

In most ways they are not; in church history fundamentalism is subsumed as a variety of evangelicalism. However, the typical non-fundamentalist evangelical will oppose the personal separation of fundamentalism, and most will agree to cooperation with non-evangelicals in mass evangelism...

Wait, so you think the parable of the fig tree is a Jewish fable???

Is JD731 a Jew? Was he alive before AD 60 or thereabouts? That's around when Titus was written. If the answer to these two questions is "No" (and it is), then you are twisting Scripture by using the term in opposition to his theology. Surely you don't want to be someone who twists Scripture...

"fable" -- "μῦθος in the NT always in a negative sense myth; (1) legend, fable ( 2P 1.16), opposite λόγος (declaration, assertion); (2) fiction, myth (2T 4.4), opposite ἀλήθεια (truth)," from Friberg's Analytical Greek Lexicon, accessed in BibleWorks. This hardly describes the doctrine that the...

I'm not sure how anyone could misinterpret Titus 1:14 any more than this. Recognizing Israel and the church as different is a "Jewish fable"? Really? :p

I am a dispensationalist, and have always differed between Israel and the church on the BB and elsewhere.

Please don't tag me again in anything you write. My experience with you so far has been all negative.

Welcome to the BB!

Welcome to the BB, with its faults. :)

One thing to realize about quotes in the NT is that many times the original statement was in Aramaic or Hebrew. The author of the particular book translated into Greek, God's chosen language for the NT. Therefore you may get two versions of a particular statement (very common in the Gospels)...

No contradiction whatever. As Martin Marprelate pointed out, the Greek word for "hear" can mean "understand." This is true when "followed by the accusative to indicate understanding of what was said hear" (Analytical Greek Lexicon, Friberg, Friberg and Miller, accessed with BibleWorks). That is...
