What's an UNfundamental baptist?

Brother Jim, this doctrine is neither unbiblical nor mythical but rather is clearly proclaimed in teh word of God. If you feel led to doubt this please don't do it here.

Jim above is what I said regarding your post, I never said you cannot post on this board and I have not sought to have you suspended. I feel that calling this view which is clearly revealed in scripture unbiblical and mythical is not showing grace to others. If you cannot post here without taking potshots at fundamentals or funnymentals as you like calling us then why post here at all. Murph

 

Here's what I do at any church I pastor--I present the scripture in its truest sense--expository style--squarin' up as close as I possibly can to be true with scripture.

I do not try to explain all of the "views" of the millenial--pre, post and ahhhhhhh! Rather, I believe with all my heart that the word of God holds true to the Premillenial rapture(rupture for some) and resurrection of the church--the next item on God's agenda for the church is its rapture and resurrection. I do not bother tryin' to teach any other concept--since the Lord Jesus Christ is the master teacher of the Premillenial viewpoint.

Being a fundamentalist, I have not seen many churches that have this. However, the reason for it is very simple. It is the same reason why Bibliology comes first in systematic theology. Apart from a proper doctrine of bibliology, there is no way to know anything about God and Christ.

A non-literal view is what has given rise to all kinds of false teachings and ridiculous notions. The hermeneutic is basic to everything that derives from it. Since the Bible is our only source of propositional knowledge about God, it is vital to have first a statement of that hermeneutic that tells how we arrived at what we believe about God and Christ.

As I say, this is typical systematic theology, in which the order of the doctrines flows logically.

 

Jim,
The rules are simple. Agree with Murphy or don't post.

 

Here.
In this forum.
With these moderators.
Or these fundamentalists.
You have the rest of the board.
And we know we are right!

 

Jim, I saw nothing rude in Murph's response to you. Firm, but not rude! I've read and re-read it for two days.

Of course we will react strongly when something we firmly believe is called mythical or unbiblical when we see it as an absolute!

Why don't you go to the thread Gina started and begin a debate or discussion where people can use scripture to 'prove' their stances?

Have a great day Jim and all!

So, SheEagle, only the moderators have the right to decide what the fundamentals of the faith are? This is just about the response I expected. Not much different from many IFB churches.

The rules are:

1. The moderators are always right

2. If the moderators are wrong, refer to rule one.

 

Sounds clear to me!

Terry,

What right do people think they have ignoring the rules, complaining about them, and wanting to change them?

What is so difficult about: These are the rules (clearly stated at the top of the forum). If you don't like them, play in another sandbox!

 

i don't see why it's ok for people to debate (and, imo basically deny) straightforward scriptural commands in this forum, but it's not ok for jim to debate prophecy (which, imo is much harder to correctly understand and ultimately much less important to our day to day lives).

granted, his post was a little pointed, but no more so than many of the other posts here.

bottom line: whenever there's a debate in the fundamental forum it's almost guaranteed jim and i will be on opposite sides, but even so i don't think jim has been treated fairly.

 

I agree Gina, sadly the meaning of the thread has been abandoned. I hate to close it since I am learning so much about what an idiot I am but I feel it best to close this thread. Anyone who would like to criticize me any further please feel free to PM. I need all the help I can get.
Thanks for all the kind words that have been expressed, I will admit that I have not won any popularity contests but that was not what the Webmaster put me here for. My goal has been to preserve this forum as a place where you could expect the literal reading of scripture to be respected. Without doubt some rights and freedoms have been trampled on but the alternative is available in almost every other thread on this board and I personally feel it very important to preserve it. As always please feel free to complain to the Webmaster about my work here, I just hope he doesn't cut my pay.
