The Jack Hyles I knew of was from the mid-80s on. I was saved in 1981 and therefore know little of Jack Hyles or of the IFB world prior to this. It seems to me that he really went off the rails (or perhaps this was when the dirt started coming out?) in the late 1980s with the controversies...

I remember passing out gospel tracts with this picture on the front of it. Didn't see the movie until much later on. Likely on YouTube if I recall correctly.

This is somewhat of a "head scratcher" here. Perhaps you may want to re-word this? You are quoting two Bible verses here almost suggesting that we need to choose one or the other! Are you suggesting that these two scriptures contradict each other? And herein is the absolute bottom line of which...

I remembered all of that "100% for Hyles" nonsense and was actually at a Pastor's Conference in Santa Clara around 1989 right after all of the Sumner Articles came out. Crazy night and they were passing out "100% for Hyles" buttons and "God help you" if you expressed anything less than...

They sound really good but what the guy is doing on guitar doesn't seem to match up with what I am hearing. I hear fingerstyle but he is obviously using a flatpick and even when "Cross-picking" (which I do mostly) it would sound different! Either way, they sound great and even after the song...

Theology is the study of God based upon our understanding of what he has revealed of himself to us. I am not sure how we can say how God "Designed" theology or determined its intended purposes. Well actually, he probably did but I'm thinking of theology from a purely human-centered standpoint...

Who are we talking about here? Wouldn't you consider the Lord Jesus Christ as being the best possible Seminary Professor of all time? The disciples were with Jesus for three years pretty much day and night! You tell me how to correllate this over to college credit hours! I would say at the very...

Jack Hyles was certainly a friendly, likeable person behind the pulpit when he preached on "Fresh Oil" or whatever. He most certainly had the ability to work a room! On the night I got to shake hands with him and have him sign my Bible, I realized the man was an arrogant jerk and not really...

Quite true but Jesus was at the point of starvation and was genuinely tempted. Of course not but your question was "Did Jesus ever use divine power for his own benefit?" I guess we could ask if it were possible that one day Jesus may have waken up with a head-splitting migrane headache and...

Precisely! The text does not specify. What I do believe is that the sacrifices of Cain and Able exemplify faith and the lack thereof. I have heard it said that the very core of sin is disbelief and whatsoever is not of faith is sin. Abel is in the "Faith Hall of Fame" while Cain is not (Heb...

I'd love to hear any advice you may have regarding writing and blogging! As I said, you can set up a tagline where you can include a link to your blogs. I do not think anyone would take exception to that and if they did, let it be their problem!:D I am still somewhat of a noob here myself so I...

How did he do things to just benefit himself? Everything he did had some sort of reason or purpose including his walking on water and the other miracles. Would it have been wrong for Jesus to turn the stones to bread as the Devil suggested? Such would certainly be an action that would benefit...

Understood, and perhaps he needs to be made aware of this and perhaps rethink a few things? I believe we can do so kindly and respectfully and pehaps he can become a regular likable guy here such as myself?:D

One thing that really strikes me regarding Jesus's earthly ministry was the impact he made on his disciples concerning his PRAYER LIFE! They were not saying "Lord, teach us to walk on water," or "Lord, teach us to heal and raise the dead!" What we do see is where his disciples ask "Lord, teach...

You seem to have some really good stories that engage the reader! I see on the profile posts that you were talking to the Admin about those who are complaining that you are spamming the forum with such stories? I could see how one may be a little put off wading through such thread posts and...

So you're the grandson of John R. Rice? That's pretty cool! I remember about twenty some odd years ago there was a falling out between the Rice family and the SOTL establishment that got pretty ugly. This was shortly after I had abandoned the IFB world that I had been in.

Not sure if I have heard the Petersons before but I'm sure I'd like them. I haven't really touched a banjo in about 25 years and sold the one I had about 10 years ago. I have about 13 guitars and basses in my closet - five acoustic, four electric, four basses, and one ukelele and then I have...

You do not HAVE to have a college education but being largely "Self-Taught" myself (yes, I have a Seminary degree but self-taught long before this), I certainly would not say this is the path of least resistance! If you believe you are called to ministry and have opportunity to attend a Bible...

Are you saying that you are against Bible Colleges? I believe that anyone going into the ministry ought to be fully equipped and prepared to do so! Plus those who teach in these Bible Colleges have to be able to pay their bills and feed their families and the scriptures clearly state that the...

Yeah, I know I have to be careful with my wording here! I certainly do not mean the Roman Catholic Magisterium but there was a good bit of abuse regarding "Small Group" studies among many in the Pietist movement back in the 17th and 18th centuries where people became "anti-scholastic" and...
