On Bibles
In an effort to move the discussion to a new thread to not clutter the original discussion on the LCMS view of NIV 2011 (LCMS Theology Commission), I offer a new thread! Fun times to be had by all!*
neither constitute what I consider a Bible!
It seems you rejected the NIV (both or just the 2011?) and the HCSB English translations of the Bible. Someone asked you this same question, but the conversation veered off... I... -
Infant Baptism and John the Baptist
Paedobaptists are so desperate for evidence to support their infant salvation/baptism doctrine that they strain at a gnat and swallow a camel.
In their desperation they claim the birth of John the Baptist as the MODEL to prove that God can save infants and defend infant baptism.
However, lets take a look at the facts not the imaginations of paedobaptists.
A. John's birth was not the rule but the exception to the rule
1. He was born to parents beyond the age of natural child... -
Is a PhD Helpful in Ministry?
For those whose career is not headed toward being a Theology Professor, is getting a PhD in Theology helpful in preparing one for "regular" church Pastoral ministry?
A few examples of where this is coming from:
I have heard that a Seminary professor considered it sinful for a man preparing for ministry to not pursue the highest level of education of which he was capable and financially able to attain...(he was refering to a doctorate).
At my own Seminary (SBTS), it was generally... -
Tithing
Before we discuss tithing, we should first define what we mean by the word "tithe." The Greek and Hebrew words for "tithe" literally mean "tenth" (according to Strong's Dictionary), so the basic meaning of tithing involves giving 10% of something. Therefore, if I choose to give 10% of my paycheck to my church then I have given a "tithe" according to the most basic definition of that word. The New Testament tells us to give generously, and my 10% offering would certainly qualify as generous... -

Sacramentalism is "another gospel"
Romans 4:11 And he received the sign of circumcision, a seal of the righteousness of the faith which he had yet being uncircumcised: that he might be the father of all them that believe, though they be not circumcised; that righteousness might be imputed unto them also:
In the book of Romans the Apostle covers a wide variety of things relating to "the faith" as a system of "doctrine" they had received (Rom. 15:16) but in Romans 3:24:5:2 one particular "doctrine" is in view separated from... -
What kind of Baptist Church would you start?
My son just started Bible College this semester and wants to be a Pastor. I have impressed upon him the need to get a Masters Degree at minimum, and a Doctoral degree would be better. The college he now attends stresses the need to start a church, not take over an established one. That leads me to the question in the OP:
What kind of Baptist Church would you start?
Independent, Southern Baptist, Reformed Baptist are 3 possibilities that come to mind. What would be wrong with... -
Women in the church?
"Did the apostle Paul say that women can't have short hair? (1 Corinthians 11:1-16). What did he mean about a woman's "covering," and about women being silent in church, and about women not teaching, and so on? Can women be deacons or elders or pastors or apostles?" -
Christian Liberty
We all agree that there is liberty in Christ. If you haven't figured it out yet the discussions about alcohol that have been going on for the last week is about defending ones Christian liberty. I believe that it is entirely appropriate to be strong in your liberty but your strong position should not question, condemn, or become an offence to others. So how far does your liberty go? You can require your liberty in your own house and of your children but that is about as far as it goes....
