[Caveat: I'm opting NOT to get involved in another round of the "when" game. Personally, "I'm so pre-trib, pre-mil that I don't even eat post toasties". Next thing I'm looking for is NOT the tribulation or hell-on-earth that will occur for seven years. Looking for the UPPER-taker to save His...

Blessings to all the BB family/friends. It is "Now Well". Redemption's dawn celebrated. See amid the winter's snow born for us on earth below; See the tender Lamb appears, promised from eternal years. Hail, thou ever blessed morn! Hail, redemption's happy dawn! Sing through all Jerusalem Christ...

Always a challenge and traumatic experience, but also always needed if it comes to that point. As a pastor I always hated to have folks leave, but would visit with them and encourage them to do what was right for them/their family. MOST often they left for the wrong reasons and family paid the...

This is one area where we are "pro-choice". Folks come, visit or camp out, then stay or leave WITHOUT compulsion. Welcome back any time.

I lived in Wyoming and met Liz. Came across super conservative and sold herself as a great Republican. Did not take us to realize she was a self-aggrandizing political whore to sell to the highest bidder. When the MOST CONSERVATIVE state voters dumped her in the next primary, her bitterness and...

Most old-time Baptists were "Particular" Baptists or "General" Baptists. Particular were Calvinistic, believing the Father elected, the Son atoned, and the Spirit regenerates the "elect" for eternal life. General hold a loose Arminian view. The first English Baptists were "Particular" as the...

When Jesus asked Peter to compare his love for Jesus, compared to "these", He didn't wonder about Peter's love for fishing, for work, for food, for his life. "These" were "things" but not what Jesus was concerned with. The "comparison" to "these" was to the love that the other disciples had...

Like a well-known hotel in California, you can check in, but never really check out. :) When time or inclination comes, your account will be here. Enjoyed the interactions with you!

Or the USA? Everyone loves Navy and only feels pity for the other services. (In football, this year)

I am mostly FB but lately Zuck is getting more and more "intrusive", censoring (or threatening me) for posts. Example: Yesterday I posted a pix of Navy football player saluting and said, "Go Navy. Beat Army". FB did not post it. Said it "incites violence" and I would be penalized (7 day...

Hello MaryO. Want to share a little about yourself? If not, that's okay too. Just like to know folks who choose to join this site. :) Read for a bit. Enjoy the banter and ebb and flow of conversations. Questions are a good way to get your feet wet. 2 weeks to Christmas is a great time to join :)

Most pre-trib, pre-mil would roll their eyes at some nonsense above. Count me with that crowd. Cliff-notes summary: After the return of Christ and the Armageddon campaign, we must remember that the redeemed saints are not the only ones left on earth for the 1000-year reign; some unredeemed who...

God gave His exact breathed words. We have them all. Joyfully, I can read them since I know Greek and Hebrew. I find joy in accurate, faithful translations in a number of languages, realizing that all are man-made and thus (by nature) imperfect, especially as languages evolve and word meaning...

The full verbal inspiration of Scriptures (not man-made translations some so-called fundamentalists worship) including all miracles and prophecy that attest its inerrant perfection. The deity of Christ - virgin birth, sinless life, atoning blood, bodily resurrection, premillennial return These...

Many fundamentalists I know are strongly Calvinistic/particular Baptists who are mission-minded and evangelistic. I see one every day when I look in the mirror. I know very few who are Arminian Baptists who claim the "fundamentalist" moniker. Sadly, I know some Baptists who claim...

Advice: Be sure to make a NARROW TOPIC on any thread. Many run amok talking about anything and everything unless the way is strait and gate narrow.

Huh? Might need to explain to us slow fundamentalists :)

My epistemology was entirely logical. This view helped me understand math, science, religion, even history. I was young, but intense thinker. I read entire Book of Knowledge (every page of 20 volumes) in third grade and Hegel and Kant were my favorites. Dad's family had non-practicing Jewish...

Giving? We "give" under constraint (local tax) to support local police, fire, government, schools. Not always joyfully. City/county officials know. We "give" under more constraint (federal/state tax) to support every wish and whim of the political sewer in which our states/nation swims...

BTW, in modern Judaism, a minyan of at least 10 families must be gathered before a synagogue can be formed. Each family gives 10% of income into one bucket; reb gets that as income, then HE gives 10% for needed supplies, The building/utilities/upkeep are from another "bucket", usually...
