Interview with ARCHBISHOP CARLO MARIA VIGANÒ APOSTOLIC NUNCIO

Martin Luther and “Here I Stand”!

Sola Scriptura

“Unless I am convinced by the testimony of the Scriptures and by clear reason (for I do not trust in the pope or councils alone, since it is well known that they have often erred and contradicted themselves), I am bound by the Scriptures I have quoted. My conscience is captive to the Word of God. I cannot and I will not retract anything, since it is neither safe nor right to go against conscience. May God help me. Amen.”

It is debatable if...

I've enjoyed my time on the baptist board these past few months, however, there is something rather puzzling to me as it seems as if baptists are in the minority here on the board. There appears to be a lot of non-denominationalists here, as well as Catholics and others. It seems to take away from the title of the site, and more or less turns it into another Christian forum. Can this really be considered a baptist site with so many non-baptists on here? Can helpful baptist discussions be had...

Psalm 51:5 Behold, I was shapen in iniquity; and in sin did my mother conceive me.

Sin is a condition that causes the action and no mortal man is without it, it will ruin our lives if we let it, but make no mistake about it... We are ALL Sinners by nature... I said born in sin!... And I know this is so dear to the hearts of us on here but what about babies?... Some say they are innocent, are they?... What does scripture say?... Why do they need a Savior if they are the sinless innocent?...

Many of us have sung the song "This world is not my home,Im just passing thru.."

This is the first stanza of the song:
This world is not my home, I’m just a-passing through,
My treasures are laid up somewhere beyond the blue;
The angels beckon me from heaven’s open door,
And I can’t feel at home in this world anymore.

Refrain:
O Lord, You know I have no friend like You,
If heaven’s not my home, then, Lord, what will I do?
The angels beckon me from heaven’s open door,
And I can’t feel at...

1Co 2:13 Which things also we speak, not in the words which man's wisdom teacheth, but which the Holy Ghost teacheth; comparing spiritual things with spiritual.
1Co 2:14 But the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned.

Col 2:8 Beware lest any man spoil you through philosophy and vain deceit, after the tradition of men, after the rudiments of the world, and not after...

In what way does John 3:16-18 show that Calvinism is wrong?

I found this Meme on FB - very interesting
So lets discuss it - BUT lets keep our remarks reasonable - without going overboard
ie - no insults - lets discuss in Christian Love!!!

Why are There So Many Different Interpretations of the Bible?
Often, when BB members - one will say YOU ARE WRONG!
IMHO, we should be careful about condemning a BB member

True, they might be wrong from YOUR point of view -
But we should also look at their point of view as well.

For example - dispensation - some are so against it.
but on the other hand some may see it as a minor issue

But most important - keep in mind that Interpretations can differ.

Our overall concern should be...

Not my thoughts, just posting for discussion. Please abide by BB rule to not call someone "lost", etc., because we don't know.
