Unfortunately I am moving at the moment, so I haven't been able to be too active lately. I'll start school at Clear Creek Baptist Bible College in a little over 2 weeks.

Amen, brother! We just sang that hymn yesterday.

To me, the Gospel is the answer to the dilemma of Christian existance. "He that justifieth the wicked, and he that condemneth the just, even they both [are] abomination to the LORD" - Proverbs 17:15 It is a sin to justify the wicked... "But to him that worketh not, but believeth on him that...

Do they believe that the book of Hebrews extends to the Church? If so, then what about Jeremiah 31/Hebrews 8, the "new covenant"? "This is the covenant I will make with the house of Israel after that time, declares the Lord. I will put my laws in their minds and write them on their hearts. I...

I just finished watching a sermon of Washer's where he says that he is a "five-points Spurgeonist"

This is exactly how MacArthur puts it. Pure sovereign election and human responsibility. I would have post the clip but I don't have enough posts, just search youtube for "John MacArthur election". It's 6 mins 21 secs long.

Alot of people don't like listening to Paul Washer because they say that he makes them feel bad. These people have no idea that that is the power of the Holy Spirit bringing conviction. I have sympathy for people who think that God exists to make them feel tingly and giddy. God is Holy. Keep...

You seem to have very strong feelings about this, and you're clueless why. Perhaps God is laying something on your heart, some sort of reason or lesson to be learned from this. For example, think about all the people walking around in this world with a 'hole' inside of them. Think of all the...

I have as much invested in being right as anyone who is trying to rightly divide the Word. You're interpretation of the parable is not accurate. When it comes to the Christian walk, Christians do not take the initiative in anything. "Jesus gave them this answer: 'I tell you the truth, the Son...

I couldn't care less what the "Religious Right" is doing, I look to Christ and His Holy example, which flies in the face of your "God helps those who help themselves" philosophy, a belief that is clearly against Biblical teaching. Where is the faith in helping yourself? What does God have to do...

"As long as we are here, we have to sin" "This life is not the dwelling place for righteousness" These above statements take a clearly fatalistic view concerning the Holy life. It's as if there's no point in even trying, because you can't accomplish it.

I definitely agree that Christ's sacrifice paid for the penalty of sin, and that we are forgiven. But what about the relationship with God that we are called to experience during this life, a relationship that we are free to pursue once we repent and sin no more? Aren't we to try to be Holy as...

"In another way what he is saying is not to worry too much about sin" This is what I'm speaking of. If sin separates us from God, how can we not worry about it?

alright, so I've been doing some research and came across a quote from Martin Luther that has put me in a state of shell shock. Here it is: "Be a sinner and sin boldly, but believe and rejoice in Christ even more boldly. For he is victorious over sin, death, and the world. As long as we are...

"I am not interested in interfaith dialogue but interfaith projects," said the pastor of the 24,000-member Saddleback Church in Lake Forest, Calif., who is widely known for his bestseller "The Purpose-Driven Life." "Talk is cheap ... but love is something we do together," he added. "As the two...

You cannot make the focus of a church's teachings on what visitors might think. How would you ever Disciple those who are members of the church? Do you want your church body to be stuck on milk and never move on to solid food? False doctrine is rampant and it is our duty to expose it, just as...

Did God create evil? This is how I look at it. Evil is not a thing, it a an absence, a void, a lack-of. Just like darkness isn't a thing, it is simply the absence of light. Dryness isn't a thing, it is simply a term used to describe the lack of water. In this same way, evil is simply the lack...

From what I've seen, it really depends on what you want to believe. You can start with believing there is no God, that everything around you came from nothing that somehow became something. No one will ever be able to prove to you God exists. On the other hand, you can start with believing...
