My friend, you seem to be a sensible and fair-minded person. I can understand why you're considering leaving this board. Those attributes aren't...
I don't have the resource in front of me, but I remember reading about a cleric in the early centuries of church history who wrote a...
I'm starting to use the ESV more and more. Aside from the translation itself (which seems both more literary and more literal than the NASB), I...
I use NASB and NIV most of the time, although I've been reading the ESV lately. If you prefer formal translations, the ESV is even more literal...
This is probably the single greatest challenge that we as Christians face in our day-to-day lives. There is no foolproof way to overcome the...
As a long-time Baptist I'm well aware that there is far too much emphasis on the superficial in our churches. The attitude of our hearts is really...
Apologies for snipping your fine response, but I think this last paragraph explains why KJVOnlyism exists and is so fervent. Versions like NASB,...

Most of my favorites have already been mentioned. Mystery Science Theater 3000 was perhaps the funniest show ever. Too bad it's only in reruns...
I have an e-mail account at baptistmail.com and there is a link to this board on the site. [img]
...Back to the sola scriptura question. I think it's always been understood that the Bible provides us with the "raw materials" of a doctrine but...
Good post. I would also emphasize our freedom from the expectations of other believers when they impose rules not founded on Scripture. I may make...
I certainly don't have any problem with a person who prays in Elizabethan English. He's praying for God's glory after all, not my approval. I only...
I agree with many of those above. I think that D. James Kennedy (for whom I have had great respect in the past) has in his zeal to combat...
