ordination
I announced my calling to preach about 5 years ago and truly enjoy it. The problem is the association that I am in will not ordain me because I have been divorced. This happened some 23 years ago and I was not a Christian then. I was married for 16 years and I have remarried and have been for 23 years. I enjoy doing work for the Lord and being able preach is so fullfilling.Does anyone have an answer as to how I can become a ordained preacher. I am a member of a General Baptist church. -

Which receiving is an act of the soul or conscience, this is not an outward receiving like we do with our physical hands as if... -

The Extent of the Atonement
Here is a view that I found. What is wrong with it? I imagine both Calvinists and Arminians will not like it! That would be a plus for it!
The Atonement of Christ
1. The VALUE of Christ’s shed blood is sufficient for all men.
a. The same blood would had to be shed (unto death) to save one sinner or every sinner in the world.
b. Hence, the limitation is not in the value of Christ's blood
2. The EXTENT of Christ’s passive obedience or sufferings is sufficient for all men.... -
Divine Accommodation
While reading this essay, I came across this:
Divine Accommodation:
This principle holds that God condescends to reveal himself in ways that human beings can understand. He adapts his message to our limited human capacities, not only in Scripture but in creation itself. In the case of the biblical writers, this means that God did not yank them out of their ancient worldviews or conceptualities but inspired them within their culture-specific frameworks of understanding, meeting them...
