After months of praying, leaders at the University Baptist Church in Waco, Texas, announced Sunday that they have decided to allow their ministers to perform same-sex weddings inside their church building even though it goes against the official policy of the Baptist General Convention of Texas.

“We believed then, as we do now that UBC is a place that celebrates intellectual and theological diversity, but felt that our ambiguity on these polices had the potential to create harm for those in...

What are some bible verses you have commonly heard misquoted?

I am looking for a mixture of quotes unbelievers use but mainly bible verses that are taught wrong in Baptist Churches.

Im doing a lesson on our need for discernment and to “prove all things”.

Some on here stated I am hedging my bets being both Catholic and Baptist. That is false. I only trust in Jesus alone for salvation.

Both Arminianism and Calvinism are wrong. Names are already in the book, only to be kept in the book (Revelation 3:5; 1 John 5:4-5) or not to be written there (Exodus 32:33; Psalms 69:27-28; Revelation 20:15). Children are safe (Mark 10:14). Once we become of age to be held responssible, we must again become counted as children (Mark 10:15; John 3:3-4). There are other poinst of difference as well.

Roman Catholicism and the total abuse & murder of children (incl. abortion).

Those attempting to defend Roman Catholicism when they are clearly in error, always resort to a dirty trick of distraction, and so when 'on the ropes', 'backed into a corner' when facts are clearly presented that they cannot (will not) answer, they often like to tout that they are the protectors of the 'innocent', and especially like to 'blow their trumpet' when it come to 'abortion' and 'rights to life', but when...

One irrefutable fact that makes the KJVO myth false is its TOTAL LACK OF SCRIPTURAL SUPPORT, even in the KJV itself. We baptists believe that no doctrine of faith/worship not derived from Scripture is true, and that included KJVO. No matter how many different pro-KJVO arguments are made, the supporters of KJVO simply cannot overcome the "no Scriptural support" fact, which makes all pro-KJVO arguments moot, void, & dead.

I believe the "Psalm 12:6-7 thingie" has been discussed ad...

On another thread @Iconoclast argued against the statementThe Holy Spirit guides us to all spiritual truth. We cannot claim to have arrived at spiritual truth in any other way claiming that the guidance of the Spirit was limited to the Apostles.

Granted, divine revelation has been accomplished BUT Is God still active in the lives of His people? Or is God "dead" ..... or something in between?

My view is today's church too often dismisses the power of God and the work of the Spirit. This is...

I'm going to give a secular source here for reference: “Word-for-word Translation (or Word-by-word Translation) A method of translating which entails precise fidelity to the wording of ST [“source text”—JoJ]. Like its opposite, Sense-for-sense Translation, the term was originally coined in the first century BC by Roman writers Cicero and Horace…. Most writers now consider it an extreme form of literal translation in which a TL [“target language”—JoJ] word is substituted for each ST word...

Questions about the Sabbath of the LORD thy God, this subject is interesting don't you think so?

Here is an excellent video series on this subject, that I have been watching, that Youtube recommended to me:
The playlist is 36 videos long, but each is appropriately titled, if anyone desires to go to a specific topic, and most can stand alone, though some recommend other videos prior within them. Here are the video titles (and please note, I do not agree with every statement made in these...
