    Although I can not be definitive on the Calvinist part, I would give that a hearty "AMEN!", instead of an argument.

    Democrat's pastor says virgin birth is pagan myth

    The author of the article said: "How is this woman in any prominent position in an establishment that calls itself Christian? She is a rambling mess of incoherent, blasphemous nonsense. The "church" she and Talarico attend is not a church at all. It is an indoctrination camp wearing...

    Has English Degraded?

    Perhaps your words come across stronger than you intend them to. I use the KJV, only, and some of you folks aren't real keen on that idea. Absolutely not. I'm simply giving you a "real world" idea of how your posts may come across to others.

    Has English Degraded?

    Logos, I do not mean this to be disrespectful...instead it's more of an observation from following so many of these threads. I'm glad that you are not teaching a new Christians class in "Can I trust the Bible", as based on your comments (and those of others) those new Christians might be...

    There are a great many IFB churches that hold the KJV as "the inspired and preserved word of God in English". If one of their members were to join the site and express this same belief, would they be banished from the site, or treated as a heretic? Would they be accepted in the way an Arminian...

    Did getting involved in WW II help the US to dig out of the Great Depression?

    My father was born in Oklahoma in 1933, right in the middle of the dust bowl years, and in '36 his family uprooted and moved to Shafter Calif. If you've ever seen "Grapes of Wrath", well, that was the same trip my father, his 7 siblings and parents made.

    Monk stopped us Sunday service

    Another thought... Even if the monks were to ask you the source of your wise sayings, telling them the truth might not get you into trouble. I might tell them something like: "These wise words were written down in ancient times by a great king..his name was David."

    Monk stopped us Sunday service

    Do you think they would allow you to put up a banner or plaque if it did not speak directly to Christianity? What I am thinking is that it might cause the people to be curious, and ask you questions about the source of your wise proverbs. If the monks see wisdom in God's words, they might...

    Monk stopped us Sunday service

    Mei, do the Buddhist monks put up signs or plaques with Buddhist proverbs or words of wisdom on them?

    Monk stopped us Sunday service

    Mei, you are making a difference, and that is a good thing. They fear God, which is why they gave you warning, and a monk stopped your service. If they did not fear God, they would not bother you. They are afraid, as they are supported by the people of that village. They are lacking in...

    24 Million dollar death award.

    Absolutely! She is the true victim in all of it, and although his death was at the hands of some rabid deputies, at least half of that should go to her for her pain and suffering. JMHO

    Is the KJV too difficult?

    I have never had any issues reading or understanding the language of the KJV, however just as with any book or text, there are odd times I need to look up a word to get a clarification on its meaning. Aside from a couple classes at a Jr. college and a semester at a local IFB Bible college, my...

    Sound Doctrine and Psa 12

    Could you expand on how the "from a dispensational standpoint" relates to Psalm 12? I don't believe in passing up opportunities to learn something new.

    Translation Terminology

    Since I've been a member of the BB forums, I have become thankful for Google's dictionary. Honestly, if someone walked up to me and asked me what a "hapax legomena" was, I might suggest it's something you need to see a Dr. for and get a shot, or perhaps even radiation treatment. Now I find...

    Translation Terminology

    My dad used to say: "Faster than a turpentined cat". I believe this was based on an experience that did not go well for the cat. Also, there's "cat on a hot tin roof".

    Mars opinion.

    Agreed ln the "specifics". The Lord did not make our bodies to handle large doses of cosmic and solar radiation. Cosmic radiation has been shown to massively mess with our DNA, meaning they might come home full of cancer, or as you stated, pass away en-route. Burial in space would be about...

    I said that Logos was "tenacious", and in the context of this discussion it's a sort of back-handed compliment. While frustrating in regards to this subject, being tenacious is generally considered as a positive trait. Would you agree with this statement, above? Hopefully we can agree on...

    This very same debate (it's not a discussion) has raged since long before the days of Dean Burgeon, and it's most certainly not going to be settled here. In taking a step back and reviewing the more recent threads on this particular issue, they read more like witch hunt than a debate. Reams of...
