After recent events if last Sunday and following events hearing of two baptist churches practically praising the event, I'm no longer defending any Christian position on X. I'm more conservative theologically than most, but I also have recognized my Christianity isn't about making the second...

I'm listening to the most recent Just & Sinner podcast called Lutheran & Baptist. I'm just curious what people's thoughts are on the podcast. Its about 1.5 hours. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

The title to this thread is general to allow for for any topic for this category. I'd like to start off by asking what is your favorite Christian artist or band? for me, Michael Card. Maybe Keith Green. I haven't really listen to Christian music since the late 90's. Sent from my iPhone...

There are a lot of topics which are taboo in the Baptist church. Some less today. But despite the claims, traditions exist in church that need to be killed. Drinking, dancing, wearing shorts, poker, and gambling. Oujia boards, D&D, playing FPS Video games with excessive language and...

Mark Stibbe as defended charismatic hermeneutics by bulleting the 7 points which he believes makes up Charismatic hermeneutics(listed below). Okay. I disagree. It's a different denomination. Nothing to fret about. Except you hear more and more non-charismatics speaking like this is how they...

So I thought I would share a bit of my background and hear yours too. I've been to 7 churches in my life I called home. The first 20+ years was at a ABA church called Central Baptist Church in Plano,Tx, pastored by Travis Case. It was a church of at most 150 and usually ran less than 75. Hell...

Definitions for purpose of my statements Bad theology: non-gospel-threatening interpretations of Scripture leading to bad beliefs or actions within church. Now to get on with it. I know there are some people who try very hard to look through Rose Colored glasses and say "why can't we all get...

If you ever have download blab for your phone to listen to videocasts, look for SteveSilkRoad. That's my brother. He has his own mission organization focused on China and the 10/40 window. His focus has turn to BAM ministries in these areas. http://www.silkroadcatalyst.com/missions-blab.html

I felt this needs a thread of its own. I see many people who believe God still works like he did back then. I've seen no evidence of this. Since the conversation on this from another thread started, I've been going through the books of the Gospels to find each healing event. I'm certainly not...

This is a question I wish to pose to those who reject value in Baptism except as symbolic. What is it, without giving some long form lecture you copy and paste, that we can start the conversation on that brings you to support Baptism is symbolic?

I'm not going to bring any light to this topic. I just wanted clarity by those who believe in free will. To what extent is your defense of free will? I believe in free will of some form. But the issue seems to be God doesn't change our free will. I disagree. In fact, I can change your free...

Job8, I split this topic out. I've read the Baptist came out from the English Separatists in the 1600s. That would place the Baptist denom nearly a century after Martin Luther. So you still consider this outside of the reformation? If anything, they took reforming to a whole new level and what...

http://www.extremetech.com/extreme/184564-scientists-discover-an-ocean-400-miles-beneath-our-feet-that-could-fill-our-oceans-three-times-over After decades of theorizing and searching, scientists are reporting that they’ve finally found a massive reservoir of water in the Earth’s mantle — a...

I pretty much lump Christians into two primary categories. The Reformed/Calvinist go into the Enlightenment/Rationalism side. Then there are the Arminian/Wesleyan/Semi-Pelegians who fall into Romanticism/Emotional/Mysticism side. There tends to be a missing link between the two. They...

I struggle at church. It's a place of stress for me. I value Scripture for what it says. I don't read it and think, "what are the Goliaths in my life?" I read Scripture first as the entire story of the gospel. I read it as all history. When my Sunday School Teacher says, "why did Abraham hear...

I've been meaning to make this a topic for awhile, so here is the checklist they put together. They are a Lutheran podcast, so #4 on the list could be controversial to an extent. There are several worship songs my church sings that don't pass this test. Interesting enough there are Hymns...

I have a question that enters into the land of controversy, but I seek an answer from those with familiar belief and knowledge of this area. I've tried since my teen years to grasp this without discussing it because it's such a hot button. I don't know the answer to this so I wanted to get some...

One thing I'm trying to learn is to be able to co-exist with those i disagree with and are Christians. This is a very very difficult thing for me. Put me in a room of non-christians and I have no expectation level of what they should know or believe. I view them as haters of God so there is...

I was listening to a good overview of the book of Genesis, because I want to try to find a source using modern technology to really help youth understand Scripture more quickly. An animated overview seems like a great way to do this. Anyway, I was watching the video below, which i think is...

I was wondering if anyone else has lessoned to Fighting for the Faith on Pirate Christian Radio. If so, what do you think? Most people that I find who don't care for it are far more liberal in their theology, like accepting of women as pastors. He entertains with snippets of poor theology in...
