    Songs and Christian Liberty

    @Charlie24 - If a guy came to your church, who was recently saved, and had face tattoos, piercings, facial hair, and a bun hair style, would he be allowed to get up on the church stage and give his salvation testimony? Or would he have to “clean himself up” first? Many of the vile visitors to...

    Songs and Christian Liberty

    Blasphemy? Amazing Grace lyrics are not blasphemy. This rendition by Eternal Worship is, in my opinion, very gentle, respectful, reverent, and devout. This reminds me of a new members class at a local Calvary Baptist church, where the class syllabus contained only one page devoted to the new...

    Slavery Numbers

    Morality is not dependent upon time or historical period. That the US and the rest of the world were engaged in the wrong, doesn’t mean we should not judge them. “Everybody’s doing it” is no justification for an evil practice. If the morals of a moment in history would prevail, abolitionists...

    God Wants to Deliver Us from the Evil Instrumental Music of This Present Evil World

    Looking lustfully at a woman in the flesh, in a photo, or in a film are all the same. Job 31:1 NIV I made a covenant with my eyes not to look lustfully at a young woman.

    Some Thoughts on the Post-Incarnate Christ

    I did read your article. If Christ has no physical body, how will He reign in the Millinneum? How did you decide the return of Christ, the Parousia, happened in the 1st century? Jesus explained in Matthew the events that would accompany His second coming. QUOTE … there is a second set of...

    God Wants to Deliver Us from the Evil Instrumental Music of This Present Evil World

    So would your pastor condemn as worldly such things as purple hair, nose rings, piercings, tattoos, ripped up blue jeans, chatbot companions, movie theatres, film streaming like Netflix, card games, professional sports, video games, social media?

    Human vs. Divine Side of Jesus

    Do you read about things related to Jesus and say “that was His human side” or “that was His divine side”? Before the Word was incarnated, the Son of God never got hungry, thirsty, sleepy, or worried about anything. So when the Word was born from Mary, He entered a whole new experience as a...

    God Wants to Deliver Us from the Evil Instrumental Music of This Present Evil World

    So now facial hair is evil? That will come as a surprise to most if not all the Bible saints. Jesus may have had a beard. Facial hair was one way to visually distinguish males from females. However, I would probably be comfortable in your IFB church, as I don’t like facial hair or loud...

    Go out in Jesus Name

    Racism is biblical? Just because some biblical passages have been used to support racism? What verses have been used to support racism? The use of the term “biblical” has now gone berserk, if any evil or wrong idea can be supported by misapplied verses from the Bible, and then those errors are...

    Some Thoughts on the Post-Incarnate Christ

    Jesus had a physical resurrection in that He told Thomas to poke his fingers into His wounds. Jesus in His resurrected body ate fish and honeycomb. Luke 24 36 While they were describing these events, Jesus Himself stood among them and said, “Peace be with you.” 37 But they were startled and...

    Tripartite Sheol?

    So if Jesus died, then was in hades for 3 days and nights, He was not in paradise? Thus, Jesus said, “Verily I say to thee today, thou shalt be with me in paradise.”??? Meaning, at some point, after Jesus ascended into heaven in His resurrected body? “I say to thee today…” is a way to...

    Dead in Sin

    @Martin Marprelate states: “First, someone must be born again; then he will repent and trust in Christ.” Again, this is backwards. The total depravity of Calvinism, which negates all the biblical commands to sinners to repent. John the Baptist, Jesus, and Peter never proclaimed, “Get born...

    God Wants to Deliver Us from the Evil Instrumental Music of This Present Evil World

    People can become self-righteous, scornful Pharisees regarding music. Labeling certain musical instruments as evil and worldly, when the instruments allowed to be used in their church have been, and still are, used by pagans to make worldly, ungodly music. I once participated in a new members...

    Some Thoughts on the Post-Incarnate Christ

    Those are some strange doctrines that I have never heard anyone teach, certainly not Baptist pastors. Jesus no longer has a human body? During the Millennium, He will reign as a spirit, not physical? Jesus returned in the 1st century? You mean when He resurrected? QUOTE … there is a second...

    God Wants to Deliver Us from the Evil Instrumental Music of This Present Evil World

    You think piano and organ do not represent the world? Again, there is much worldly rock music that uses piano and organ. Did the musical instruments mentioned in Psalms represent the world? Pagans used the same instruments in worship of idols. John Michael Talbot is a good example of using...

    God Wants to Deliver Us from the Evil Instrumental Music of This Present Evil World

    Piano and organ are the original rock instruments. A rock beat can be produced without guitars and drums. Remember Jerry Lee Lewis? Little Richard? Fats Domino? Organs and Mellotrons were used extensively by psychedelic rock and prog rock bands in the 1960s and 1970s. Keith Emerson is the most...

    When are you going to define “evil instrumental music” — or give us examples of it? Which musical instruments are evil? Is there also evil vocal music?

    Go out in Jesus Name

    Other things that are “not biblical” (not commanded in the New Testament): 1. Men wearing clothes in church. 2. Bible colleges and seminaries. 3. Owning a car. 4. Annual physical checkups with a physician. 5. Buying food at a grocery store. 6. Vacation Bible school. 7. Joining the military. 8...

    Dead in Sin

    Nobody is saying that “dead in trespasses and sins” = “alive unto God”. But an unsaved person has the potential to become alive unto God by responding positively to a proper presentation of God’s Word. Martin claims that salvation occurs when God sends His son to die and the Holy Spirit gives...
