What is a hyper-fundamentalist?

Hyper-fundamentalists are the polar opposites of hyper-liberals. They believe they and their little group (which usually grows smaller and smaller as they split hairs and eventually run out of hairs to split) are the only ones who are right and anyone who does not cross their t's and dot their i's EXACTLY like they do is a liberal, if not a hyper-liberal. The Pharisees of Jesus' day would be considered hyper-fundamental and the Saducees would be the hyper-liberals. Jesus aligned himself with neither group.

 

It might be more accurate, in historical, scholarly terms, to just call such men "jerks." It has little to do with Fundamentalism.

A term like "hyper fundamentalist," since it has no definition, is just a slur term for somebody who is stricter than someone else regarding one issue or many. In communicates nothing more than the taste of the one doing the name calling.

A jerk is a jerk, whether he's Druid, Jainist, or Fire-Baptized Holiness.

 

I agree! Answers can be found in the Bible and that answer fits even today.

 

Since I don't know either of them I could not categorize them. I am not too big on 'categories' anyways, that is the 'Sword of the Lord''s job.

 

Not actually, the Pharisees were actually more liberal in the sense that they accepted far more (the Oral law, the Writings, and the prophets) than the Sadducees, who only accepted the Pentateuch.

Nevertheless, I don't find very much correspondence between modern day fundamentalism vs. liberalism and ancient religious .

 

Well, my friend, that just goes to show the folly of categorizing. One man's 'liberal' is another man's 'fundamentalist'.

 

I think its easy to define hyper-fundamentalist. Hyper means anything over and above, so it would be anythin over and above the fundamentals of the faith which are pretty clearly spelled out in the Scriptures and outlined in the classic set the Fundamentals.

 

They do lie in the same bed. Just at opposite ends.

I would disagree. I think it is the other way around because the Sadducess only considered the Torah credible.

Jesus always pointed to what God wanted not a group of politicians.

 

While, I can't speak for Dr. Dollar. As a member of Hamilton Square Baptist Church, I believe I am in a position to speak to Pastor Innes. Truth be told, I can't remember Pastor Innes making any remarks positive or negative about the SotL. SotL just isn't a factor out here in San Francisco.
I was in the Sunday Evening services when Pastor Innes first preached on the Columns of Truth. If I correctly understood the messages, I believe you are incorrect in your characterization of Pastor Innes' thoughts about The Sword.

 

Shiloh to mirror on the wall:

Mirror, mirror on the wall,
whose the most fundamental of them all?

Mirror to Shiloh:

Why you are Shiloh.

You don't help other christian's view of fundamentalists by referring to people who oppose your opinions as "YOU PEOPLE"

BTW, Shiloh I was doing coke and going to church with my parents at the same time when I was a teenager. Nobody knew about it but I was still doing it. Of course I got saved and quit all that mess.

David did dance it is recorded in Scripure. Now he wasn't "dirty dancin" but he was dancing. What are you going to do ignore the fact that he was dancing?
I've heard many posts on here from people with the same kind of views as yourself. I myself have some of the same convictions. Your problem is your attitude. You come off as trying to sound superior. I believe if you were debating in person you would probably be the guy yelling louder than the rest simply because your arguments are weak therefore you have to out talk people to make your point. A strawman is still a strawman no matter how much straw you add to him.

 

Could we leave the "hyper" off please Shiloh and then would you present your interpretation of what a Fundamentalist is please?

I think you will be surprised by how many posters would come very close to fitting your interpretation.

 

A fundamentalist is one who accepts scripture literally as the final authority... neither adding to nor subtracting from. A hyper-fundamentalist adds their opinions between the lines of scripture when they aren't satisfied that God was sufficiently conservative.

The Bible does not condemn things because they taste good or are pleasing to the senses.

By principles that I will both live by and teach, I believe that Christians should not smoke.

However, due to the fact that scripture does not give a direct command on the subject, I must trust that God will direct other Christians on how to apply biblical principles to their own lives. IOW's, I do not have a biblical basis for turning my convictions based on principles into a LAW that all Christians must submit to... which differentiates me, a fundamentalist, from a hyper.

David did dance... and so have other Christians including those around the time of the fundamentals and before. They went to community socials where they had ballroom or square dancing.

So there is a context in which dancing may not be forbidden. There are also places and dances that are sinful instead of social.

No more so than allowing a legalist into our fellowship... the judaizers in Paul's day were no more welcome than the drunkard or adulterer.

A literal reading of scripture demonstrates that women cannot pastor or teach or usurp authority over men.

Why do you have a habit of lumping everyone who disagrees with you into the same pot?

I allow others the liberty of conscience to drink if it can be done thankfully and without harming their testimony in the social environment they minister in because scripture doesn't declare it a sin. I deny that a woman can rightly serve as a pastor because the Bible only qualifies men.

Nope. We criticize KJVOnlyism... because once again, it is a man-made rule not found in scripture.

Probably best defined as someone who demands that their personal beliefs that fall into categories 3 and 4 are category 1 truths for all Christians... or else they are "liberal" or worse.

 

So you never study?

If you do not ask questions then you either claim to know everything or you are content to stay ignorant.
