Those who want to do more research on the SBC North American Mission Board may want to check out this from The Wartburg Watch. This blogger is a former SBC who is now Lutheran. I suppose her remarks can be taken as "sour grapes" so take it for what it's worth. "Did you know that you have no...

Here is the Reverend Cumulonimbus' take on the SBC, for what it's worth. Provided for informational purposes - I don't necessarily agree with everything David Cloud says, such as his criticism of Calvinism in the SBC, which I tend to regard as a good thing...

Yeah, I believe an SBC missionary can go to the field almost immediately, once appointed. It takes an IFB missionary years to raise support on deputation, roaming the continent for fund-raising meetings and spending big bucks on gas and motels and car repairs. I recall following the online...

Here is an explanation of IFB/SBC differences from an IFB perspective: https://www.hometownhopeministriesinc.com/post/the-differences-between-independent-baptists-and-southern-baptists This essay is mostly accurate, but it is perhaps questionable to generalize that most IFBs reject Calvinism...

Most American Jews oppose Trump's war in Iran: https://responsiblestatecraft.org/american-jews-iran/ "A new J Street poll finds 60% of American Jews oppose the U.S. war on Iran. "The poll of American Jews across the political spectrum, commissioned by J Street and conducted by GBAO...

Paul seemed to think his Hebrew ethnicity was worthless in the sight of God. "Circumcised the eighth day, of the stock of Israel, of the tribe of Benjamin, an Hebrew of the Hebrews . . . But what things were gain to me, those I counted loss for Christ. Yea, doubtless, and I count all things...

In the past month, I have noted the statements of support for this war from various prominent Christian leaders like John Hagee, the roly-poly Holy Roller from San Antonio, who says, "Prophetically, we’re right on cue. . . . God Almighty is brought onto the battlefield and the enemies of Zion...

If even a Christian Zionist like Seth Dillon of Babylon Bee is now poking fun at Trump's grandiose victory claims, we may be in more trouble than we realize! https://babylonbee.com/news/trump-brags-oil-never-worth-this-much-under-biden "The wins just keep on coming, according to President...

Dire straits - Panic time at the Pentagon: "The depleting inventory of missiles could cause headaches for the administration in a prolonged campaign with Iran as it tries to force open the Strait of Hormuz amid rising oil and gas prices."...

Who's leading Trump? Well, let's see . . . there's Ted Cruz: Ted Cruz tells comedians he played key role in pushing Trump to strike Iran, end peace talks...

Yeah, but Bibi and Lindsey Graham are happy. Seems to me that if our troops do successfully occupy Kharg Island, after an Iwo Jima-style battle with massive casualties, they would then be sitting ducks for bombardment from the Iranian mainland. "The seizure and indefinite occupation of the...

No need to worry about Nazi Nick - he's going to "that other place."

Looks like Lindsey Graham's call for an Iwo Jima-type operation at Kharg Island is getting bad reviews even from fellow GOPers. Kharg? Aaargh! “Lindsey Graham is a psychotic neocon who invokes Iwo Jima and is willing to send US Marines in to be slaughtered in Iran . . . " I'm waiting to see...

No question about it, Kennedy had some serious issues with philandering. I recently read the book by Mimi Alford, one of his many mistresses. Let's not even talk about Marilyn Monroe, Judith Campbell Exner, Diana de Vegh, Mary Meyer, "Inga Binga," Fiddle and Faddle, etc. I suppose that this...

Do we have an Army Judge Advocate General on the forum who can weigh in on this issue? Oh, never mind - Pete Hegseth says they are "jagoffs."

Why we fight: State Dept. lashes out after insiders reveal who motivated Trump to launch Iran war: report "Speaking with Bloomberg on the condition of anonymity, the insiders claimed that Trump was under pressure to strike Iran from at least two individuals outside his administration: Israeli...

No joke - HR 867 would have established penalties of up to 20 years in prison and a $1,000,000 fine for Americans who support boycotting Israel. It appears that the bill was never actually voted on. For now it is not under consideration but it could be brought up in the future. Marjorie...

Chuck Norris was the fourth wise man, who gave baby Jesus the gift of beard, which He carried with him until He died. The other three wise men were enraged by the preference that Jesus showed to Chuck's gift, and arranged to have him written out of the bible. All three died soon after of...
