Never been impressed with "Christian" brothers. They are just another franchise whose business model is upcharging their customers and capitalizing upon their misery! It is infinitely more despicable seeing that they have pasted a "Fishy" symbol upon it.

When one is executed, the authorities typically invite the families of their victims as well as others who were significantly impacted by their attrocities as it gives closure among other things. You have all of the soldiers who were killed and it is highly unlikely that they would be able to...

1 Corinthians 11:3 - But I would have you know, that the head of every man is Christ; and the head of the woman is the man; and the head of Christ is God. Look at this in context with the relationship between Christ and the Father. Jesus being subservient to the Father does not make him...

When rightly translated, a translation is, in fact, the inspired word of God. I primarily use the ESV and the KJV and am of the conviction that they are, in fact, the Word of God for the English speaking people! If such is not the case, perhaps we all need to get on the ball and learn how to...

That is why most conservative Baptist congregations in Texas are not part of the BGCT but are affilliated with the SBTC (Southern Baptist Texas Convention) as is our church. SBTC broke off from the BGCT years ago because they were getting too liberal.

I personally do not "shave" in the house of God myself. I usually do so at home but if I forget, I would just rock the "Don Johnson" look for the day!:Laugh

Are these the same polls that predicted a landslide for Hillary Clinton in 2016? How did that work out?

Understood - I guess I was just being snarky!;) Perhaps Billy Graham had a list of rules like Agent Gibbs in NCIS? And I did not mean it as negative per se. I believe that he faithfully endured God's chastening and learned from it which is far more than you can say about others which we will...

Are you trying to say that this passage teaches egalitarianism? That women and men are equal one to another in every way? Where in the scriptures does it say that anyone is "called" to preach? In what context would God call someone and in which context would they fulfil this calling? Preaching...

If you want to distinguish yourself from others, perhaps you should pick a name that is a little less common or generic as "Hope?" Yes, I believe that 1 Cor 6 ought to apply as well as Romans 16:17 of which believers who are outside of this mess should exercise the latter.

The only "Billy Graham" rule I am aware of is not being alone in your car with any woman who is not your wife, mother, or daughter. Jim Bakker learned the benefits of this rule the hard way and he paid for it dearly.

I have little (no) personal or practical experience with churches in the UK aside from a couple of layovers in Heathrow and a business trip up in Scotland better than ten years ago. Most of my "Baptist" experience has been here in the States so admittedly, this is where I am coming from. I do...

Applause is simply the expression of approval or appreciation in the same manner that one shouts "Amen!" I was in a certain church that was big in giving "Standing Ovations" to certain men who were regarded by the pastor (and therefore to the congregation - not the connection here) as being...

I do not believe it is fair to lump all KJVO preachers in with Steven Anderson. Most mainstream KJVOs dismiss him entirely and are not nearly as nutty. As with everything, there are differing degrees and flavors of KJVO.

I agree, and this is one end of the extreme. Women are not dumb and I am always learning from the one that the Lord has put in my life! What about the other extreme? Aside from regarding the scriptures as sexist, misogynistic, and rejecting it altogether, what is the rationale for women pastors...

I know we have Ussher's dating and I believe this is what was largely employed in the Reese Chronological Bible I have in my library. If I were to make calculations of my own, I could use the Genealogies where you could make such calculations (which I have done) but are these Genealogies...

1 Timothy 2:12 But I suffer not a woman to teach, nor to usurp authority over the man, but to be in silence. OK, we all understand this and most of us here would give a hearty "Amen" right? We all understand that women are not qualified to hold the office of a bishop and she is not to get...

It is true that "A pipe cannot hear your prayers" but are you trying to reach this people or are you just out to "flame and shame" them? Are you going to reach Roman Catholics by telling them that "The Pope is the Anti-Christ and the Vicar of Hell!" or by dragging around a statue of the Virgin...

In the beginning.:Cool

I continue to use and love my King James Bible but I often find myself laboring needlessly trying to understand a passage and when I open up my ESV (my "Alexandrian" version of choice), I immediately see the clarity and then go back to my King James and say "Oh, that's what it says!":Laugh
