I don't mind contradictions or disagreements! I am literally "shooting from the hip" here and was actually hesitant of jumping into the conversation as my knowledge of linguistics is very limited so if I am wrong, I appreciate any correction and take such as an opportunity to learn!:Cool I...

Let's be honest here. The King James Bible faithfully translates and preserves God's word in the English language of the time in which it was translated. The fact of the matter is that the English language was not then, nor is it now, "set in stone!" Words change in meaning over the years so one...

You should include the Deacons because they are usually the main one sitting on the "Pulpit Committee" and are making the ultimate decision on who to "Call" as the next pastor of a church! I was in a Church that was between pastors for over a year and it seemed every Sunday that there was...

It was just a quickie response to John of Japan regarding Calvinism's contribution to our Baptist history. Debate amongst the General and Particular Baptists have raged on throughout our history. Both (for better, for worse) have influenced our doctrine and the way we do evangelism and world...

I was actually describing a young version of myself along with a bunch of other "Preacher Boy" buddies I went to institute with back in the 1980s. Some have grown up and matured while others have not. There are a number of "Fat Slob" preechers out there who are around my age and still acting...

One of the major points that the KJV-Only crowd often asserts is that the AV1611 was translated at a time when the English language had reached full (or significant) maturity with regards to spelling, grammar, syntax, and so forth. Such would therefore result in a translation that was timeless...

Passion is good. We ought to be passionate about certain things and when we express such in a passionate manner, such is often transferred to the listeners. Good preachers understand this. There are also those whose theatrics get in the way of the message they are trying to preach and some...

Happy Reformation Day!

AWOL bags are strictly Army are they not? I'm Ex-Navy and we had "Sea Bags." I had mine (along with several uniforms up to about 2016 or so when it disappeared on me.

Is Salvation Army an actual denomination? I thought it was just an evangelistic and charity organization. Do they actually form and organize functional and local congregations with pastors, elders, and deacons? If they do not, then I believe it is proper and fitting that they DO NOT administer...

I'd take the Amazon reviews with a grain of salt. People are going to complain that it is either too liberal, too "Fundamentalist," too Catholic, too anti-Catholic, not Catholic enough, too Calvinistic, too anti-Calvinistic, not Calvinistic enough, too Dispensationalist, and so forth! Then you...

All the Catlicks say that Jesus was crucified on Friday and then they call it "Good Friday" like they are celebrating it or something? Yep, seems suspect to me! Obviously has some pagan origins somewhere and clearly of the devil! Being a Baptist, I guess I can believe whatever I want right? I...

My middle name was the most popular name in the year that I was born.:Cool

I have Grudem's "Systematic Theology" of which I often refer to. I also have the "Moody Handbook of Theology" by Paul Enns which was the primary textbook in the systematic theology classes I took in Seminary. It covers several different theology disciplines and is fairly objective so I would...

Going a bit further off topic but bringing it back around, Michael Medved once said that the Jew's best friend in the world are evangelical Christians! I would that more groups would express similar sentiment, It sure would make life easier for us and would open far more doors to proclaim the...

But they are here and are often our neighbors and work colleagues and they have eternal souls. Christians need to ensure they are fighting on the right battle front! We are commanded to proclaim the gospel but we do not get to pick and choose who is to hear and who does not! If God puts you in...

I know of whom you are talking of. He was expressing this in the "DNA of Jesus Part II" thread as well. I tried engaging him but quickly realized the futility of such efforts and washed my hands!;)

"Lordship Salvation" is the premise that one must make Jesus "Lord" before Jesus will save them and you would be hard-pressed to find someone who actually believes and teaches this but you have the "Free Grace" crowd (Zane Hodges, Bob Wilkin, etc.) trying to say that this is what John Macarthur...

Both "calling upon the name of the Lord" (Rom 10:13) and "Believing on the Lord Jesus Christ" are expressions of saving faith. Believing on the Lord and "praying the sinner's prayer" or whatever are not prerequisites or something anyone "does" for salvation. Many bring up the argument regarding...

I fully agree. The only reason I brought up "Jesus's DNA" was to stress Jesus's humanity, that he was "truly God" and this was precipitated by something that Cathode had stated. There are some yayhoos out there (I believe some Ron Wyatt afficianados) who try to say that Jesus had only 23...
