    Do fundamentalist's ignore the doctrines of the family?

    As a fellow fundamentalist(IFB) I sometimes wonder about this. You will hear plenty of talk about different view of eschatology in fundamental churches. You will hear plenty of talk about differing interpretations of church structure and practice. You will hear plenty of talk about differing...

    Do you think a fundamentalist could be...

    I am new to this particular forum although I have been in other forums here for a while. I grew up in and still attend an independent fundamental baptist church. I also realize(unlike many of my IFB brothers) that there are true fundamentalists of other denominations(and historically there...

    Conviction vs Standard or Preference

    What do you all think is the difference between a Biblical conviction, and a standard or preference. In my home I have certain standards for how I want my kids to behave and what I expect from them, but I would not necessarily say these things are convictions that I think the Bible clearly...

    What are God given rights or entitlements?

    I tried posting this in another forum, but I think it actually belongs here. Most Christians would say as believers we "deserve nothing but hell" or something like that. Yet God grants rights and entitlements in the Bible. Let me give a few examples from the scriptures where rights or...

    What do we deserve? What do we have a right to?

    I have removed this post. Moving to a different forum because of the animosity that exists toward me in general marriage forum. I am done posting in this particular forum.

    What inspires your love for your spouse?

    I believe there are two types of love within marriage, one is commanded by God in the Bible many times. It is a love based upon choice(it is a duty within marriage), not based upon feeling. But I also think there is the love that is based on emotions and on feelings. In Western culture where...

    The idol equality

    Since I was a young man in high-school(way back 20 something year ago) I was always interested in the war between equality and liberty. Many people think these are the same thing but they are not. Most societies have tried to reach a balance between liberty and equality, but few do this. One...

    Are you lazy in your marriage?

    My pastor preached a sermon on Sunday about being "intentional" in our lives as Christians. "being intentional" is our theme for the church this year. He touched on key areas of our lives, work, home and church. Many people may be intentional in one or two of these areas, but we all struggle...

    Is abuse a Biblical reason for divorce?

    A lot of people who have little knowledge of the Bible would have the knee jerk reaction of "Yes of course it is OK to divorce for abuse". But for those of us who want to make sure our marriage does not end unbiblically it can be a stickier question since the Bible never expressly states that...

    Do you get mad at your husband for being attacted to other women?

    I realize this question could go in a 1000 different directions so let me clarify what I am asking by asking some more specific questions: If you were walking through a mall with your husband and you saw him check at another woman(not galking, but passing glances) would that bother you? If so...

    Is Fantasizing Sexualy About Your Spouse a Sin?

    This is a question that many Christians ask when they are dating or become engaged. The common answer to the question in conservative Bible believing Christian circles is that it is wrong. Most people who take the position that it is wrong will quote Christ's words in Matthew 5:27-28: So the...

    Polygamy in the Bible

    This is one of those topics that cause people to squirm in their seats anytime we come across it in Church services or Sunday school. I was raised in conservative Baptist churches my whole life and still attend one today. When a pastor or Bible teacher would come across Polygamous practices in...
