    Tripartite Sheol?

    Some scholars say that Luke 23:43 And Jesus said unto him, Verily I say unto thee, To day shalt thou be with me in paradise. Should move the comma to read: And Jesus said unto him, Verily I say unto thee today, thou shalt be with me in paradise. Because Jesus did not enter paradise the day...

    Held and Kept Safe By God

    I Corinthians 10:12 Wherefore let him that thinketh he standeth take heed lest he fall. II Corinthians 13:5 Examine yourselves, whether ye be in the faith; prove your own selves. I Timothy 1:19 Holding faith, and a good conscience; which some having put away concerning faith have made...

    A cappella singing, no instruments

    Where in the Bible does it say that no musical instruments should be used in churches? Some say, if the New Testament does not command something, it should not be done. But I see no command that men must wear clothes in church. Long ago, I saw information about how when poor Reformed churches...

    What do you do when a Local neighborhood Church doesn’t get back to you?

    I have contacted local churches by mail and email. None have ever responded. I have informed several of them about a local ministry doing something I felt was wrong. The ministry had a thrift store selling various things. A certain man shopped there every day, buying used bras and panties. I...

    GOD CANNOT LIE, SORDIT GAIN, COMMANDMENTS OF MEN

    @Alex2165 says: “…the greed for sordid gain remains one of the worse transgressions that is common to all churches throughout the ages.” AND “ It is common in every church the establishment of their own customs, traditions, and doctrines that goes against GOD Commandments and His true Word.”...

    Christ's Love Surpasses Knowledge

    I know of no one who is “right about all theological things.” You speak of the Separatists of the 1600s. Philpot resigned from the Church of England in 1835 and became a Strict & Particular Baptist. John Smyth and Thomas Helwys, former Anglican priests, are credited with initiating the...

    Culture and Worship

    Cultural accommodations can result in making church as worldly as possible, even to the point of performing completely secular music in the sanctuary. A compromise might be having half contemporary music and half hymns, so all ages in the congregation can be satisfied. Often churches have two...

    Christ's Love Surpasses Knowledge

    Joseph Charles Philpot (1802 – 1869) was known as “The Seceder”. He resigned from the Church of England in 1835 and became a Strict & Particular Baptist. After becoming a Strict & Particular Baptist, he became the Editor of the Gospel Standard magazine and served in that capacity for twenty...

    Culture and Worship

    This is right. I used to make experimental, abstract, electronic “noise music”. But if it was too loud, it was muddy. You don’t want all the sounds blurring into each other or one sound overwhelming the others. My wife and I, when we listened to the National Christian Choir programs on WBNH...

    Men in our Church meet to discuss anything concerning the Scripture,

    Jesus prayed for unity, that we believers would all be one, even as He and the Father are one. What must Jesus think when He sees his flock arguing and insulting each other over such issues as which Bible version to use? I prefer the King James Version, but I also enjoy reading the NIV, ESV...

    What an awkward, sleazy time it must be when the church members watch the SuperBowl half time show!

    Why don't Baptists wear these

    I have begun to like liturgical garments and symbolic sashes and choir robes. They signify that the person wearing them has a special function in the house of God. Not exalted above the congregation, but also not some random casual person off the street. I used to think a suit and tie were...

    Culture and Worship

    This discussion is relevant to the original post, but could be a separate topic. I think Christian theology is based primarily on a blend of the Bible and Greek Platonic philosophy, with some Stoic principles. The concept of logos is an example of this as early as the gospel of John. Often...

    The New Fundamentals?

    @Wesley Briggman Titus 1:16 They profess to know God, but in works they deny Him, being abominable, disobedient, and disqualified for every good work. 2 Timothy 3:13 But evil men and impostors will grow worse and worse, deceiving and being deceived. Jude 1:4 For certain men have crept...

    The New Fundamentals?

    New Fundamentals per Ascetic X: 1. Jesus remains eternally the exclusive, only way to God and Heaven, but He bids all without exception, of every race, nationality, and creed, to come to Him. 2. Christianity warmly welcomes people of all gender ideologies, sexual orientation, and romantic...

    Fear God?

    Yes, it is a matter of semantics. We are on the same wavelength. Since “fear hath torment”, I prefer to say we are extremely concerned about, and devoted to, pleasing and not offending God. We must keep perfecting holiness in the intense reverence and supremely respectful awe of God.

    Are many here going to SBC churches then?

    I was a member of a Southern Baptist Church, where I met my wife, but I am not attending it now. I am currently unable to attend any church, but the last one I went to was an independent Bible church.

    Walter, I am so glad that your wife is cancer free. My beloved beautiful godly wife died August 5, 2024 after battling cancer for 6 years. We were married 21 years and were basically each other’s only companions. My life is extremely bleak and disoriented now. Bless you and your wife. I will...
