Simple Question...
Does Christ's atonement cover the sin of unbelief? -
Tradition or Scripture
Baptists are noted for placing the pulpit between the alter table and the baptistery.
Is that tradition or is there Scripture support?
Baptists are also noted for the alter call/invitation prior to the concluding prayer.
Is that tradition or is there Scripture support?
What other items might Baptists regularly engage that may be tradition or may have a Scriptural base? -
The Atonement of Christ: What did it REALLY Achieve ?2
It made them Christ died for Spiritually Rich !
2 Cor 8:9
9 For ye know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that, though he was rich, yet for your sakes he became poor, that ye through his poverty might be rich.
Notice "That ye [ The Church of God see 2 Cor 1:1] through His poverty [ made in the likeness of sinful flesh] might be rich.
This is stating a Divine Purpose to be accomplished through His coming and giving His Life for the objects He gave His Life for, the Church of God. Notice... -

Reconciling Paul, Hebrews and James
Romans 2:4-5. 'Now to him who works, the wages are not counted as grace but as debt. But to him who does not work but believes on Him who justifies the ungodly, his faith is counted as righteousness.'
Ephesians 2:8-9. 'For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves, it is the gift of God, not of works lest anyone should boast.'

God's Providence and Bible Translation
I think that one of the least understood and taught doctrines is the providence of God. I want to explore how that works in Bible translation efforts, using my own experience in translating the Bible into Greek for illustration.
Providence differs from the miraculous in that it is a process, whereas a miracle is an event. As I have said before on the BB, a miracle is instantaneous. Providence, however, may take a great deal of time, such as when God used Alexander te Great to spread the... -
Do I have to quote the Bible when sharing the gospel?
Can one be saved when believing the gospel even if they don't hear a Bible verse?
I wrote a piece which I wish I could call a homily, sharing the gospel with certain particulars, and not quoting the Bible once.
If those who read it do not hear a Bible verse, will they remain being lost? -
Mama has passed away.
It's been a hard day. Mama passed at 5:00 this morning.
She died sleeping peacefully. I praise God for his mercies. Mama is with Christ and my father who died suddenely three years ago.
I am more exhausted than anyone could know. I thank you for the prayers you gave. -
Vessels of Mercy !
When are the Vessels of Mercy made so ?
Rom 9:21-23
21 Hath not the potter power over the clay, of the same lump to make one vessel unto honour, and another unto dishonour?
22 What if God, willing to shew his wrath, and to make his power known, endured with much longsuffering the vessels of wrath fitted to destruction:
23 And that he might make known the riches of his glory on the vessels of mercy, which he had afore prepared unto glory, -
A Book Review: Born Fundamentalist - Born Again Catholic.
A book recommended by our forum brother @Walter
Respectfully unless you have this book please keep comments and opinions to only what is said by us in the thread
I am in the process of reading the book.
My comment on the title.
Born Fundamentalist. For starters no one is born a Christian. And one born to a Christian family can be raised to be Fundamentalist.
Without question the author learned fundamentalist anti-Catholic and evangelical bias. Apparently In the chapter "The Beginning"...
