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...

I purposely did not watch the Super Bowl. I did skim across the "Turning Point" show but the music really wasn't my taste. The last song Kid Rock did was pretty good though.

Its amazing how we come up with such crazy notions rather than just looking to the authority, sufficiency, and perspicuity of the scriptures! Man's fallen, Adamic nature was not eradicated with the flood. All are dead in Adam and the sin leading up to the flood. DNA has nothing to do with it...

There is a very distinct American culture with distinct values, customs, Etc. that define who we are as a nation. Those who choose to emmigrate here should do so because of who we are and that they desire to be a part of it. This should be at the very foundation of any immigration policy...

Good!

The one instance where Catholics are actually more biblical than most Baptists is their stance on alcohol. The use of alcoholic beverages is not expressly forbidden by the scriptures and (yes, I am going to go ahead and say it) Jesus himself drank alcoholic wine in social settings and (yes) the...

As explained, Greenland is vital to our nation's security due to the changing climate and a potential permanent northwest passage BUT I do not believe the United States needs to acquire Greenland in order to maintain this peace. We should work through diplomatic means and should definitely...

Do you recall anyone speaking of "Double Inspiration" of the KJV while you were there? This was a subtle "Shot across the bow" to Pete Ruckman who supposedly believed that God "Inspired" the King James translators just as he inspired the original authors! This would be their primary point of...

I remember once upon a time that you could be a Republican and a Conservative while having disagreements with other Conservative Republicans. You did not have to be in "Lock-Step" with the "Republican Party Leader" or face possible castigation or execution! The Republican party NEEDS such who do...

I was involved in this sort of "Street Preaching" while stationed out in San Diego. I also graduated from a Bible Institute that was largely styled after PBI. We had the same mindset - that street preaching builds "Character" but I often went out there having some good fruitful conversations...

Ruckmanites are regarded as a bunch of undisciplined "Rebel Rousers" which is largely true.

I agree there should be standards - BIBLICAL standards or standards reflecting basic good manners and moral character! Every institution has these and without them, there would be no real "learning environment" in which to speak. If you are preparing for ministry, it should be in an environment...

Thanks to the WWW, PCC (and many others of their ilk) has a legalistic reputation that precedes itself and is easy for one to do their own research. I understand though that kids are often raised in their "Fundamentalist Bubble" where they are taught to stay away from such satanic influences as...

Just more proof that given sufficient time, goats always show their true colors!

Biblical forgiveness is found in Luke 17:3: Take heed to yourselves: If thy brother trespass against thee, rebuke him; and if he repent, forgive him. There is no repentance or contrition on Absalom's part. David simply rolled over and let Absalom do as he pleased...

Actually, there is a much closer relationship than one may actually care to acknowledge. PCC has a standing rule that female students at PCC ARE NOT to date or interact with the "Ruckmanites" across town from them at Pensacola Bible Institute! Seems a significant amount of PBI Students are...
