1830, Darby. Even then it took a while for it to get popular outside of the Brethren movement. It was Scofield who made it known to the larger Body of Christ at the turn of the century and it was TBN who made it what it is today. Before that only an EXTREMELY small amount of people ever...

No, just many who CLAIM to be. However, God is often embarrassed by his elect, if you'll recall. There's nothing godly about approving of everything about God's elect in the world today. Even those who really are God's elect are being sanctified from their many sins and short comings. The...

Are you saying that you think Pew is not counting GED's as high school diplomas? Because I think it is. If it is, this GED argument is irrelevant.

I address this to NC Tentmaker on the above.

It's good to HAVE one. Do you own a rifle?

how do you think that verse "sums up" this issue? Before you answer, remember that the author of that verse wrote another book called Proverbs where he said "Wisdom is the PRINCIPLE thing and with all thy getting get knowledge." Remember proper hermeneutics requires comparing scripture...

1.5 million would not affect the stats from Pew very much at all. There are that many public school children enrolled in kindergarten. http://nces.ed.gov/fastfacts/display.asp?id=372 "About 3.3 million students are expected to graduate from high school in 2013–14, including 3.0 million...

No, I don't think it. I know it. I have been preaching long enough and to enough of them to know that most of them have NO IDEA when dispensationalism was born. NONE. They have NO IDEA what truly old hymns of the faith are. I said "most" not all. I do, however, find that the folks...

You missed the point. Yes, there are a lot of skinny jeans types of young people. But there are also many who are not that type who want the truly old things. A good example is the one you mentioned. There is a revival of expository preaching in this generation. The point I am...

One of the things that gets lost in a forum like this is that this is not my congregation and I am not the shepherd of BB. Here I am a debater, not a pastor. My church is not a debate forum. There, I am not a debater; I am a pastor. Conflating the two environments and positions is part...

It is unlikely that these few home school degrees are statistically significant.

He often looks very displeased with his own people. He is the One who said that judgment begins at the house of God.

Sad. Liberals blow evangelicals and especially fundamentalists out of the water. http://religions.pewforum.org/pdf/table-education-by-denomination.pdf

The church- not The Church. And I was not extolling the virtues of atheism. Saying I was does not change the fact that I was speaking to the shame of evangelicals and fundamentalists.

I am the only one who has cited any facts on this whole thread. I have cited Barna Group and Pew. FACTS F A C T S But if you want to ignore them, I can't stop you. God said, Judgment begins at the House of God. The Lord said, If my people which are called by MY name shall humble themselves...

Yep. And that is to our shame for the tenth time Old & Regular. How many times do I have to spell it out for you? To our shame. Got it yet? Now, go back and read my previous post... S L O W L Y ... And maybe you will see the point. Here's hoping against hope.

Rebuke somebody else who is out of line in this thread and I'll take your rebuke seriously. Otherwise- keep it.

Try to follow along. I know that's asking a lot of you, but just try- ok? No one has extolled the virtues of atheists, Old & Regular. I am saying that Christians should be excelling atheists in these areas and to our shame we are not. I know you probably can't get this, but there is a...

And who was I talking about? Are you saying that you think there are not old people who fit that bill? Old people who have been fully responsible for the closing of the doors of many of the 3,500 churches that close down every year?? You don't think these people ought to be exposed and...
