A biblical archaeologist (and Holy Land Expert) visited our church early last year and I had a quick discussion with him that I see no prophetical purpose whatsoever for rebuilding the temple but can understand why such a thing is vitally important to the Jews. He says he was in agreement with...

I call myself a "Reagan Conservative." I was 17 years old the evening I watched Reagan's nomination acceptance speech and it was the night that I became a Reagan Conservative! I was too young to vote for him back in 1980 but you had better bet that I voted for him in 1984! I got saved the...

I may do just that. Hopefully it would make for good discussion.

He was raised glorified and incorruptible just as we will one day be raised. Only difference is that he chose to keep his wounds from the crucifixion and for obvious reason as I have already stated.

Yes, he still bears them! And for all the reasons mentioned! We will be raised up and glorified in perfect, flawless bodies yet Jesus will bear the marks in his hand and in his side for all of eternity and every time we see them, we will be reminded of the price he paid, the reason we are where...

Welcome to our forum! In sorting out your SDA past,I would recommend that you closely examine its origins, how it came into being, and compare it with the historic creeds and confessions that the SDA and other restorationists have summarily rejected. The "Restorationist" movement emerged out...

Of course. I am talking about now am I not?

Nothing to see here! Must-Have-More-Gun-Control!

Of course they were! So was I back then and I wouldn't have had it any other way.

I agree. I was "young and dumb" at the time as we all were at some point. Having favorite "Preechers" signing your Bible (usually with their "life verse") was a big thing back then. I have not had anyone "sign" my Bible in over 30 years nor would I care to sign anyone else's Bible! One of the...

Church discipline is a congregational and ecclesiastical matter. It is not an individual matter. Disciplinary action is necessary when sin is open, public, a reproach on the gospel of Christ, and impacts the reputation of the congregation. You may find yourself in the middle of such a matter...

EXACTLY!

Just an incredibly pompous attitude that I was beneath him and that it was "my privilege" that he would so grace me with his attention and presence! Pretty much the same as how certain "celebrities" who are famous with their treatment of "common folk." There was a separate incident a few years...

And therein lies a big, big problem! Churches are often reluctant to deal with matters of sin and misconduct among their ranks. They won't demand evidence of a changed life, Christian character, fruits of the Spirit, etc. There is also no real "commitment" to a particular congregation. One may...

I hadn't read the article until now and am typically leary of anything coming from Julie Roys but as presented, it seems quite clear to me. The new PCA church has taken everything into consideration and has rendered their decision. Seems to me that Burk Parson is being upfront and transparent so...

I stand by my previous statement. If this person feels as if he had been unfairly treated by his previous congregation, he can bring the matter to his new congregation and allow them to fairly evaluate the situation. Church discipline is very much a biblical thing and I would be wary of any...

I agree 100%! Church discipline is scriptural and should never be a trivial matter. The old congregation is not entirely out of line here. If someone does not agree with the disciplinary procedure, the reason for such action, or whatever, they may leave but the Church is also within their right...

Hitler and other key leaders of the Nazi party fled to Mordor and has been there ever since.

In the early and mid-80s, I thought that Jack Hyles "walked on water!" He never preached at our church in San Diego (Our auditorium was too small) but we were always following him around wherever he preached in the SOCAL (Midway Baptist, Pomerado Road Baptist, First Baptist Long Beach, North...
