This was probably in reference to your mention of Calvinism. I know that such is the hot topic of many "Theological Barfights" both in Seminary and here on the BB. I had a good talk with my Seminary dean about this when he suggested I take a "Calvinism" course which, truth be known, was an...

I agree 100%! If I am leading singing in our church and only hear myself, there is a big problem that ought to be addressed. And yes, I also prefer that my voice be mixed in with the multitude of the congregation! But the scriptures do say "Joyful Noise" so as long as you are singing off-key in...

It seems as if it is the "Tree of Knowledge" thing all over again! A woman may literally choose any career path that her heart desires except to be the Pastor of a Church. And she chooses to be the pastor of a church and then wonders why God would be against it? Of course, God will hold us...

Such terms as "New Evangelical" and "Fundamental" are often thrown around but the actual definitions tend to slide around and are often used as perjoratives towards those deemed to gravitate one way or the other. Historic Fundamantalism used to stand for those who held to and contended for the...

Thanks for bringing this to my attention! Hopefully I haven't been obnoxious to the point where I may have made it to your "Ignore" list!:Roflmao

Why thank you! I guess you could add LBU to your list of recommendations but they seem to be more of an online "distance" education place and their actual campus is quite small and humble in appearance. I got my Masters Degree from them without ever setting foot on their campus. My wife and I...

Believe it or not, there are actually some Bible Colleges out there who offer a degree in "Marriage and Motherhood" to women and the ultimate goal is to get them "married off to a preacher" as the ultimate 'capstone' to their collegiate experience! Aside from this, any "vocational training"...

I believe there is much to be said here which strikes at the heart of the matter. We are obsessed with complexity, with theatrics and polished performances to the point where we need to hire "professsional musicians" in order to pull it off! It matters not whether they believe or are living a...

I reject replacement theology. The Church (gentiles) does not replace Israel; we are graffed in and included with them. Granted, those who are "Jews Inwardly" are also numbered with those in the Church and in Christ, there is no difference between the Jew and Greek (Rom 10:12) and I take no...

I think I'm done here trying to explain myself. I said what I said and I stand by it.

I'm not sure why you would say this. As far as job security goes, Nursing is the way to go! I am certain it is not an easy career though. My oldest granddaughter wants to become a Doctor and my youngest granddaughter says she wants to be a nurse. I told her that she probably picked the better...

Yeah, and now somebody got his feelings hurt! Too bad there is no "Ignore" button here so I can steer clear of those who are insistent upon being blissfully ignorant!

What fun is there being on a forum when you only have people who agree with you? I actually learn more when I happen to disagree with someone and I am forced to examine my position with additional scrutiny. Just because we are argumentative at times does not make a conversation non-edifying! I...

I was just thinking you were coming up with a hyperbolic example here. :D I have probably read the same biography at one time or other. I'm sorry to hear that. I was having some "fun" with some of your remarks but truly meant you no harm. I used to be in a super strict congregation to where my...

It is really dependent upon first of all, what you would consider as being "Fundamental?" If you are talking conformity to strict, biblical standards as they see it and you happen to be living in the "IFB World," I would say that perhaps West Coast Baptist College out in Lancaster, CA would...

I think someone here is resorting to hyperbolic examples here for the sake of humor or perhaps to make a point? I am somewhat doing so as well here. Alice Cooper is active in his church and teaches a Sunday School class or so I have heard. If he were utilized in the music program, in the...

So, why are you here?

If we are on the road together and you become unhappy with something I have done and you honk and flip me off as you pass by, I could assume you are either not saved or perhaps just having a bad day? The future of the Jews is not here now. Right now is the present and tomorrow is the future. We...

And neither do you. You say your church does not use electric guitars and I am fine with that. This is your preference and I respect this. I will not come in and fire up my Stratocaster. Would my Martin D-18 be acceptable even though I have an LR Baggs Anthem system installed in it? If you are...

I'm waiting for specific, biblical examples here.
