    We Don't Need Religion, We Need Jesus

    This idea of Christianity not being a religion is ridiculous. It is absolutely a religion. The issue here isn't religion but moralism. I wish Driscoll would use words more accurately than he does. His flippant usage of whatever word he wants in whatever situation he wants is sloppy. Words...

    Baptists, People of Conflict

    Historically ignorant. So when the Baptists who wanted to form a missions organization were in conflict with the anti-missions baptists, who was the outsider? Oh wait, they were both baptist. Learn history before you speak on it.

    Baptists, People of Conflict

    Baptists are people of conflict. It doesn't take long to see that coming out in Baptist History time and time again. If there is going to be a Baptist forum, this is a necessary thing to know, we are a people marked by controversy. We like to argue and fight with each other, like kin. Its...

    Scripture vs. Philosophy

    Personal opinion means nothing in interpretation. You sir are making wild claims that you cannot and as it seems will not back up. Your veiled attempts to belittle and mock calvinism by referring to it as a "philosophy" and not dealing with what it teaches is nothing short of internet cowardice.

    Scripture vs. Philosophy

    Also, the definition of Philosophy is: the rational investigation of the truths and principles of being, knowledge, or conduct. If you do not have some sort of philosophy (such as a hermeneutic) you will be UNABLE to read the Bible with any level of context or competency. The issue is not...

    Vince, I'll ask again. Do you believe in Free Will?

    Scripture vs. Philosophy

    WOW. I ask a question, which never once refers to someone as a Baptist or not, and you go on a rant. Be an adult, I have my reasons for asking his view on free will. I did not want to assume anything on Vince's position, so I was allowing him to respond to the question as he sees fit. Calm...

    You Baptists are like nailing jello to a wall!

    There are several presuppositions made to come to that conclusion.

    You Baptists are like nailing jello to a wall!

    Fosdick cannot soften your heart. Only Christ can, inspite of you reading Fosdick.

    You Baptists are like nailing jello to a wall!

    Fosdick did more harm than good to Christianity. The only good thing to come from Fosdick is the writings of Machen.

    The Doctrines Of Grace

    Romans 5 says that it matters not whether we are conscience or not of sin, we still sin. Paul was explaining that sins committed, whether known or not, are forgiven by Christ on the behalf of the elect. Your forgiveness is not granted on how good you are (or in reality how bad you were) but...

    The Doctrines Of Grace

    RobertZ, Brother, a reprobate would not be concerned with such things. Augustine said something to the extent of, anyone who wishes to be elect, is. The theological nature of his statement is quite profound. It is not that anyone on a whim who decides in himself to be elect is, but that...

    The Doctrines Of Grace

    Vince, Why are all men not saved? Does God want all men to be saved and is powerless to do so? Are you a Universalist that will say All men will be saved? Which is it?

    The Doctrines Of Grace

    Noone is innocent. Noone. All of us deserve Gods wrath. When we read the Old Testament we should not see it as God being a bully, but instead thank God that he hasnt destroyed us all. You saying pharoah was not an innocent man in the manner you do leads me to believe that you think some...

    Baptists 400 year birthday?

    Churches that are atheological are worthless. They train people in shallowness and serve no purpose. As a five point Calvinist I would rather see a church teach arminianism instead of no theology at all. Your view of theology being what kills churches is ridiculous. Having no theology and...
