The end result of which is, potentially, a church that pays lip service to missionary work but doesn't send any actual missionaries. Better that there be some, than none. Working in a host country is not always legal for foreign nationals, however.

The Baptist Faith and Message is nominally Calvinistic. I can't comment on how individual congregations might interpret sections IV and V. James Petigru Boyce, the first president of Southern Baptist Theological Seminary, published a systematic theology titled Abstract of Systematic Theology...

Economies of scale when it comes to group efforts like missions is one of the advantages of a denomination. Otherwise, as you point out, you end up with missionaries wasting time and money, both of which could have been spent in the field, trying to raise inadequate support from dozens of...

The SBC has a program to pool resources for missionaries.

I'm too young to remember the Apollo missions. This is wild. Godspeed!

Not exactly. He leaned Unitarian sometimes because he had doubts about the Trinity, supposedly. But he believed firmly in Jesus's miracles and the Resurrection--the very things Jefferson cut out of his Bible. Thomas Jefferson was a confirmed skeptic, but I prefer to think of Charles Dickens as...

No. Dickens was worth the equivalent of about 10 million modern US dollars when he died. He bequeathed the equivalent of $1 million to both his sons, an annual allowance for his wife, and a generous payment to each of the servants in his employment when he died. Whether he left them the message...

"We don't worship a Jew, we worship the Son of God." "Jesus was a man as descended from Adam, but the King of the Jews as descended from David." False dichotomies all the way. At least you were consistent. We don't play with round basketballs, we play with orange ones.

Was he not a man when descended from David? Why do you insist on making distinctions irrelevant to the point?

Jesus, as God, is the "root" (creator) of David. Jesus, as a man, is the offspring of David. This isn't hard, unless you're actually stupid and not just pretending. :ROFLMAO:

He means that man in his natural, fallen state is hostile to God, but that God's work of redemption in Christ ends the hostility and makes peace between men and God: But now in Christ Jesus you who once were far off have been brought near by the blood of Christ. For he himself is our peace, who...

Do they remain unfulfilled elsewhere? :ROFLMAO: The former is literal, and the latter is figurative ... boob! :ROFLMAO:

One of the elders said to me, “Do not weep! See, the Lion of the tribe of Judah, the Root of David, has triumphed. He is able to open the scroll and its seven seals.” (Rev. 5:5) “I, Jesus, have sent my angel to give you[a] this testimony for the churches. I am the Root and the Offspring of...

Rejecting your premise, how can I accept your conclusion? :ROFLMAO:

Yes, it's irrelevant that the Jewish Messiah was born a Jew and fulfilled the Jewish Scriptures. :ROFLMAO: Are you and Duh in a retard-off or something?

I'd call that a nice evasion, except it wasn't particularly artful. It was just an evasion.

You and your opinions are hereafter discounted a priori as racist, gay, retarded, or racist, gay, and retarded. Have a nice day.

So you think Jesus went back in time and changed Mary's ancestors?

Would you like to accept Nick Fuentes as your personal Lord and Savior?
