Do Fundamentalists/Evangelicals Agree on bible Inerrancy/Infallibility?
As doctrines of the bible? -
What's all the middle stuff for???
To piggie back off of a book I just finished:
Many classic Christians creeds speak of Jesus' virgin birth and skip right to his death and resurrection. So if that is the important parts (the "fundamentals") then why did the 4 evangelists spend so much time on the middle part, i.e. Jesus' life and ministry? What is the theological point to it (if any)?
What do you think? -
Should women be allowed to baptize?
I am asking that only those who do not believe women should be ordained ministers or be allowed to preach respond to this thread.
If the authority to administer ordinances is given to the church:
1) Are Pastoral/ordained ministerial staff the only ones allowed to baptize?
2) if not, then provided the "authority" to baptize/administer the ordinances belongs to the local church body, should a female member be allowed to baptize another woman?
Personally (as a woman) every fiber of my being... -
Ye reject salvation by grace !
Acts 15:11
But we believe that through the grace of the Lord Jesus Christ we shall be saved in the same manner as they.”
Rom11:5
Even so then, at this present time there is a remnant according to the election of grace.
The remnant of jews, the election of grace, are saved no different than from the gentiles who are saved through grace, they too are of the election of the same grace !
Now those of us who reject the Truth of unconditional election, that God has chosen only a... -
Ethics Question
Perhaps someone knows a Missionary who has actually done this, but if you are smuggling bibles into a closed country, and boarder guards ask you what's in your trunk, or if you are smuggling anything illegal...what do you say?
If you lie, what is the ethical justification for lying...or do you try to sneak in without actually lying, but if it comes down to it, simply tell the truth and offer the guy a bible? -
Soul Liberty
Mat 18:15 "If your brother sins against you, go and tell him his fault, between you and him alone. If he listens to you, you have gained your brother.
Mat 18:16 But if he does not listen, take one or two others along with you, that every charge may be established by the evidence of two or three witnesses.
Mat 18:17 If he refuses to listen to them, tell it to the church. And if he refuses to listen even to the church, let him be to you as a Gentile and a tax collector.
1Co 5:11 But... -
Pardon by Grace or by Works?
Isa 55:7 Let the wicked forsake his way, and the unrighteous man his thoughts: and let him return unto the LORD, and he will have mercy upon him; and to our God, for he will abundantly pardon.
Here is the command from the prophet Isaiah to the wicked showing them the way to receive a pardon from their sins. Notice that the commands are direct and involve the individual doing something to receive a pardon. Was the prophet preaching a pardon via works? Why or why not?
We have had many on... -
Nelson NKJV Study Bible
I've got one coming in the mail. Our pastor uses the NKJV and I guess I'm ready to retire my beloved KJV Study Bible. I ordered the first edition since I like the words of Christ in red (just my personal opinion) and the second edition doesn't have them in red. Anyway, I'm looking for your opinions on this Bible. Anyone have or use one? Thoughts on the NKJV itself? -
Men Hitting Women: Why I Can't Tell Them To Stick It Out!
After looking at this photo, can anyone in all honesty, say they would counsel a women to stay in an abusive marriage?
I removed the photo, because it took us to a FB page, and there were some graphic comments made in respose to the pic. I wanted to just transfer the pic, but it didn't do as I wanted. Sorry, but I have not mastered the art of getting images to transfer to the board forum page.!!
However, the topic remains. After I'd go to the ER, hospital, or their home and see the... -
Calvinism, God's Mercy
I have many Christian friends. Some are Calvinist and some believe one can lose their salvation. On these points we disagree. But I respect them and love them all dearly, they are wonderful Christian brothers.
I like reading John Piper, a Calvinist brother in Christ. So I was reading something he said in a sermon titled "The Absolute Sovereignty of God: What is Romans 9 About". In this he said something that enlightened me about Calvinist and this is why I titled this thread Calvinism,...
