not all baptist boards are kosher

Massdak, You often refer to liberals and liberals being wrong.

What is a liberal?

 

Thank you, Maasdak, for your explanation.

 

There are a range of liberals, just as there are a range of fundamentalists. Not all people who are liberal believe that God's Word is inerrant - their definition of inerrant may be different than yours. Not everyone who believes that abortion is always murder is liberal as well.

What do you make of moderates?

 

I think they are liberals. Hey...you did ask.

Joseph Botwinick

 

So anyone who doesn't fit the definition of a fundamentalist - you would consider them liberal?

 

Often Moderate Baptists are picked on by others that are into stuff like KJVO, Cessationism etc. Hence some of the other Boards can be more attractive, particuarly if there is good friendship amongst the posters.

 

That's true enough.

Every discussion board has it's own climate. But none are set at "perfect".

The only truly "nice" discussion boards are the ones that only allow fellowship. And while they are nice, they feel a little "Stepford wives"ish sometimes.

 

By the standards of many modernday fundamentalists, the people who wrote 'The Fundamentals' (the book that gave fundamentalists their name) were liberals.

 

Aye to that; I don't have a particular problem with the original Fundamentals, but you would be hard pressed to find anyone here (including me) who would consider me a fundamentalist.

Yours in Christ

Matt

 

Me, too, Joseph, you are right on!

a.k.a. "itching ear" syndrome.

 

To define liberals that way is a little broad. I'm as conservative as they come but c'mon, fair is fair. Just as you wouldn't want them to lump us all in to the most extreme category, let's not do that to them.

One of the things I've learned is that labels are useless when it comes to the Body of Christ.

I can post on onlinebaptist and be considered a liberal heretic simply for daring to believe that one's salvation isn't dependant on the church he attends and I can post on cmcentral and be considered a facist for sticking up for sound doctrine and scriptural integrity.

I was once told by a poster here who now, thank God, has moved on to greener pastures, that I was unsaved simply because he didn't like the music I listen to and another one told me that my walk with Christ was in trouble for a similarly stupid reason.

Then I go to Jesusfreakhideout.com, where they appreciate my stand for Christ and my defense of sound doctrine.

I talk to liberal Christians all the time and I talk to Christians who (mistakenly) believe I'm a lib.

I just try to remeber what Augustine said, "In essentials, unity. In non-essentials, liberty. In all things, charity."

 

Hey, that Augustine sounds like a smart feller. I wonder if he wrote anything else?
to his quote.

 

Major on the majors and minor on the minors.

 

Wow, did you just quote Augustine?
I am impressed.

A very hearty loving politically-incorrect Merry CHRISTMAS to you, my Brother!!

 

Amen!

 

It was a toss up. I was going to quote Jerry Garcia.

And to you as well.

BTW, thanks for mentioning jesusfreakhideout.com. I can honestly say I have never been there prior to tonight, and I really enjoyed it. I have to agree with their assessment of the new Jars of Clay CD, as well as the new Tait CD, which I love equally.
