People of the Book

Baptists, are suppose to be “people of the Book”, this is why I am a Baptist.
But over the years, I have been seeing “Baptists”(including the ones on the BB), get farther and farther from “the Book”.
--------------------------------------------------
Over and over again, I am seeing people’s minds being changed about Bible Doctrine, based upon what someone else says about it.

I can’t count the times, that I have heard someone defending their unBiblical position, by suggesting that I read so-n-so’s new book on the subject.

Don’t they realize, that they shouldn’t be reading so-n-so’s book, if he is straying from the sound Doctrines, that Christianity has always stood upon........
Colossians 1:23
“If ye continue in the faith grounded and settled, and [be] not moved away from the hope of the gospel, which ye have heard, [and] which was preached to every creature which is under heaven; whereof I Paul am made a minister;”
--------------------------------------------------
I am not going to give up the name “Baptist”, but simply realize the fact that only a few IFB’s, are still “people of the Book”.

 

You are probably right.
But you know how it goes; sometimes we get discouraged, and forget about what the Lord told Elijah........
1 Kings 19:18
“Yet I have left [me] seven thousand in Israel, all the knees which have not bowed unto Baal, and every mouth which hath not kissed him.”

 

You got it.
