    The Gospel of Jesus Christ (Death, Burial & Resurrection)

    Bro Yeshua, I agree. The teaching of the covenant boundary lines are taught in the gospel, the teaching of the kingdom of God. The teaching of the cross in its entirety include the teaching of the kingdom of God,. Whenever you see the word gospel used, it is almost always used in association...

    The Gospel of Jesus Christ (Death, Burial & Resurrection)

    Bro HAMel said "]I find it interesting how some folks try to limit our Lord. To box Him in. Consider the following: "And there are also many other things which Jesus did, the which, if they should be written every one, I suppose that even the world itself could not contain the books that...

    The Gospel of Jesus Christ (Death, Burial & Resurrection)

    There are a lot of good points and questions made in this topic. I must say I do believe in the doctrines of grace but am not a calvinist. Calvin hated and persecuted our Baptist forefathers so I have no use for him. One of the questions I must ask is concerning the status of children who...

    I watched the some creationist lectures on Youtube from Hovind and others. I was astounded by the the comments of people at the bottom of the page. The thing that seemed to be consistent was their outright hate for the idea that there is a creative force in the person God. Some seemed to get...

    Thanks for the background on Hovind and perspective on the "Enlightement" Christ said in Luke 11:35, "Take heed therefore that the light (enlightenment) that be in thee be not darkness."

    Bro Mouse, If you want to classify things into two camps, then I believe in a more recent creation. It seems that I see a lot of atheist screaming there is no God in the debates. This almost immediately polarizes me into the "young earth" camp even though I am new to some of the arguments...

    . I am new to the board do not know where some are coming from and needed a clarification. I figured if you believe in xmas you might also believe the stairway from heaven thing.

    Serious about Christmas

    Bro Mouse, No doubt Christ is the greatest gift of all. God didn't come down the stairs on xmas day with the child. The date is part of the debate and the Mary had already been overshadowed by the Holy Spirit, the Child already in her womb for 9 months . Your statement is just another feel...

    Serious about Christmas

    Brother Kent, Your post describes the true liberty in Christ that we have. Our Baptist forefathers wanted to be able to worship as they believed in unity as a body of Christ, free from the deadly persecution of the isms. The belief that one has the liberty to believe as one wants and not to...

    Serious about Christmas

    You could have done ALL those things without the umbrella of a man made holy day. I Jn 4:1 tells us "Beloved, believe not every spirit but TRY THE SPIRITS whether they are of God." We reject the so called spirit of xmas because we do not believe it is of the Father but of men. We cannot find...

    Serious about Christmas

    One point I cannot emphasize enough is the covenant belong to the sons of God. They, being empowered by the life of Christ in them, are the only ones who can hear the words of the covenant and do them as we see in Jer 11:6 and in Mt 13:11-16. That is why Christ told them in Jn 15:15...ALL...

    Serious about Christmas

    The problem of your examples are that your try to separate them from the purpose they are used for as a whole. You seem to have forgotten that the examples you use are in this discussion tied together (except Hannakuh which I will address) to achieve a religious end. This topic is related...

    Serious about Christmas

    Bro. Mouse, I am not disputing whether there was a man named Nicolas who did what historically is said to have done. As a Baptist, I have a problem making someone a saint based on catholic parameters. Paul addresses the church at Colosse by saying, "To the SAINTS and faithful brethren in...

    Serious about Christmas

    Bro. Kurecki, I may not accurately understand your post so if my reply is not on point, please let me know. I ask you, what was the original intent of xmas seeing there is no basis in scripture that Christ gave it in his covenant teachings? Christ's zealousness to return the people to the...

    Serious about Christmas

    Christ says in John 15:15..."ALL THINGS I have heard of my Father I have made known unto you." He was making known to the church His covenant instructions (words, sayings, statutes, judgments. precepts ,commandments) in the kingdom of heaven. We see the likeness in Gen 18:17 ...Shall I hide...
