I wasn't getting what he was saying. I am thinking from the standpoint of opacity; that standing on the earth, you could see the light from the sun as you would on an overcast day but not actually see the sun until the fourth day. This is how a "gap theorist" would explain it anyway.

I think we can agree with them that space was created along with time, matter, and energy that comprises the universe. They are also saying that we have a "multiverse" with countless other universes occurring randomly as ours did in order to address the random probability that everything we...

Like this guy?

I think we should all be better stewards of the body God has given us. I wouldn't hold it against a preacher for being "fat" so long as he isn't bragging about being fat! And yes, they are out there!

Would you call yourself a "gap theorist?"

Where are the JBS* people when you need them? You know Bilderbergers and the Illuminati have got to be involved in all of this somehow right? Is President Trump actually the secret "Sith Lord" that everyone is following in the name of "Old-School Patriotism" only to find out too latet that we...

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...
