If God appoints the government as ministers of vengeance as Romans says and then those same ministers abdicate their roles and punish good and reward evil, are they still ministers of vengeance? If they're not ministers of vengeance then what are they, and do Christians submit to them? If they...

No they're not. Employers are doing anything at all. The Government is telling employers what to do, and you're supporting it. Unless you'd like to argue that $14,000 fine per day, per employee is "freedom"?

You might say 'ol slewfoot is blowing smoke somewhere and folks are getting more than their ears tickled.

I agree, no one is forcing the vaccine on anyone. They're just threatening to take away your ability to feed yourself, your family, possibly take away your kids, remove you from the public square and take away your freedom of speech. I mean it's not force, people have a CHOICE to obey or...

Yes, nobody can place faith in God without God giving grace to them to allow them to do so. Thus any decision on a person's part pertaining faith is only possible via God's gift of grace to make such a decision. Classical Arminians and Calvinists agree on Total Depravity. Man is incapable on...

Pertinent stuff starts around 11:39. Section titled "These boots are made for licking" "They [fallen Churches and Christians] are actively engaged in enforcing the Enemies laws for him and then they have the effrontery to call it submission to God. Like the Jews of Jeremiah's day who cried...

I mean that on Fathers day the sermon is "Fathers need to be better fathers and this country is falling apart because of a lack of fathers!". I would agree with this. While on Mothers day the sermon is "Oh, thank heavens for the mothers. The mothers are great and amazing and there's no love...

My grandpa told me stories about ketchup sandwiches in the depression. My other grandpa grew up in the depression too and he would never throw food away. He would eat it even if it was moldy. He lived to be 94 so he done something right... The older folks here, who were born in the 1930s and...

No.

All of the Missionary Baptists, Southern Baptists, Union Baptist and Independent Fundamental Baptists that I know believe what you posted above and could likely be termed "Moderate Calvinist". You'll run into issues with the Free Will Baptists on one end with point #5 and the Primitive, Old...

This is 1 of 2 sacred cows of modern Evangelicalism that is destroying the Church. My wife sometimes gets annoyed because I will refuse to sing parts of songs or entire songs during service. There's one song that goes something like "Is God X?" then you respond "He is" then "Is God Y?" "He...

I would say that God illumines any to whom the Gospel is presented. I think the question after that would then be who determines when or if the gospel is presented? What part does man's free will have in a Gospel presentation? What part does God have in a Gospel presentation? Can a believer...

Didn't want to ignore Canady's reply on the previous thread. Been working on a pole barn and gearing up for Turkey processing, so been busy :). My comments from Canady's previous thread: … I think all people can equally choose or not choose to believe when God illuminates their minds in that...

What was different, in a literal way, for me was that I chose to believe the Bible while others didn't. I think all people can equally choose or not choose to believe when God illuminates their minds in that moment. Without that illumination all people will choose to not believe. Man is...

We attended a FWB Church and I was a member prior to our marriage. Our pastor there actually performed our marriage. I attended there for 5 years and my wife for 2 years after we got married. The position on the ability to lose your salvation was "you cannot lose it unless you specifically...

We have: Elders (Pastors) Deacons - These typically service over a given area (music ministry, hospitality, etc) We also technically have a "Deaconess" position, although most of us want to get that out of our Church documents. In regards to the above respectively: No No Yes Deacons should...

I say get rid of it. I'd rather have more light after work rather than in the morning. With the time change I've barely got time enough to get the Turkeys fed before I lose the sun. And I have no time at all to get any other outside work done during the week.

I wouldn't go near him for awhile. In most cases: You don't send someone who struggles with lust to a brothel for evangelization. You don't send a former alcoholic to evangelize at a bar. You and your wife ought not go near that man as it seems she is tempted by him. If it's not already been...

I assume that the 5th District rulings are applicable only in the 5th district? I honestly can't recall the jurisdiction level of the federal circuit courts. Do rulings from them apply only in their district, or across the U.S? I know it'll get appeal to the U.S Supreme Court no doubt, and I...

Sen John Kennedy from the great state of Louisiana! -- Warning language! "Somebody at the White House has been smokin' the devil's lettuce."
