I guess we could look at it from the perspective of Isaiah 45:7: But should we? I can appreciate the fact that there are no "People" around before "day four" but the entire narrative of Genesis was written from an anthropomorphic perspective and understanding. Perhaps we are to understand a...

I can appreciate this but it says there is "no need," not that they are not there. But this does not answer how you measure a 24-hour day without the earth's rotation with respect to the sun. Does this mean that perhaps the seven days of creation may not have been seven actual 24-hour periods? I...

Many modern astrophysicists describe the universe as being spherical as you have described except that they believe the "Big Bang" to be at the center rather than "Planet Earth." And yes, I can see how the "Geocentrists" would get such a view as you are speaking of here. The earth may very well...

This would be nervewracking in and of itself! How could you come up with something that no one else has ever written about in the 2000 year history of the Church? I have heard some really "wackydoo" dissertation topics and perhaps this is because the are trying so hard to be "Original?" Another...

I have heard this passage mainly being taught about engaging Jehovah Witnesses, Mormons, and other false teachers who come knocking at your door. I have only been a Baptist for about 45 years so I am still somewhat of a "Whippersnapper" here!;) How exactly is Satan deceiving professing...

I believe that the "Receive him into your house" is in reference to accepting someone as being a fellow "brother (or sister) in Christ" and having fellowship with them as such. I do not believe this means not inviting a "Jehovah FALSE Witness" into your house, offering him a cup of coffee, and...

... or did they simply become visible from "Planet Earth?" I am inclined to believe that God created the entire cosmos in Gen 1:1 and the rest of Gen 1 is specific to Planet Earth with the sun, moon, and stars becoming visible to the observer on the fourth day. And no, I am NOT an "Old-Earth...

I didn't see this in the writing of your OP so I was wondering why Ascetic X would bring this up? I would consider this "Two Seed in the Spirit" doctrine as being quite heretical on several points of which I could see from a cursory overview.

My understanding is that a DMin is more of a Professional degree than Academic. DMin programs typically require a certain level of ministry experience and the curriculum is relevant to this experience. Seems the path to take if your primary focus is on pastoral ministry. Of course a PhD is the...

Forgive me for butting into your thread!:rolleyes:

These were my thoughts. All sorts of positions of leadership for women in ministry settings; the only thing the SBC (or I) take exception to are women being in ordained, pastoral positions. Aside from this, they can sit on whatever advisory board they desire. They can and do teach in seminaries...

My understanding is that AW Pink had little to no formal theological training.

No argument from me. I just want everything printed in a nice, presentable, and readable format that may be helpful to others. My immediate distribution will be to family members (including my mother, of course;)), the members of our church, and to other churches where I may be teaching the...

Yes, it is representative of what is in the heart of a man. I also beleive it could be a demonic attack. I recall shortly after being saved, I was 18 at the time and had a dream that I was in a heavy metal rock band ripping it up on a stage and the lyrics was basically shouting out "Hail...

I believe that once upon a time, honorary doctorates were conferred upon someone to recognize their contribution to a particular field of expertise. An honorary Doctorate from Oxford is especially prestigious. Seems that institutions such as Hyles-Anderson College have made a mockery out of...

By God's grace, this is where I am as well. If they think not, it is their problem.

I started writing it some years ago from this standpoint. Distinguishing historic fundamentalism from what it has become today which I have coined "Hysterical Funny-Mental-ism." At the time, I had somewhat of a bone to pick and it showed in the tone of my writing. Most of the Bible references...

Thanks for the feedback. I am likely going to go the "Self-Publishing" route for now. I expect that immediate distribution will be primarily my church and other churches and ministries I may be working with. I will probably put it on Amazon as well and see if this gets me any traction plus it...

In regards to the OP with the YouTube video, it seems to be "Big Business" these days how one is able to make a few revisions to material that is in the public domain and are then able to license it and make a boatload of money with very little effort on their part. I am seeing this especially...

You are speaking of two completely different things here! I am not sure you have caught it and perhaps it is not what you have intended? God ALONE dwells outside the realm of space and time existing in the "Eternal Present." Therefore Jesus gets to say things like "Before Abraham was, I am...
