    Interesting reformed church visit today, a report card.

    If you were being honest, you know I wasn’t talking about just the lyrics. I was talking about the fact that I couldn’t even understand the words even with them in front of me while watching the video. I was talking about animal like growling sounds and was contrasting a classical hymn that...

    Interesting reformed church visit today, a report card.

    My opinion is just as good as your opinion. My opinion is you have misrepresented my position because I didn’t include the entire unabridged lyrics. Your opinion is disregarded for misrepresenting my opinion. If you want to justify the lyrics go right ahead.

    Interesting reformed church visit today, a report card.

    1 John 2:2 He is the propitiation (atoning sacrifice) for our sins (Christians), and not for ours only but also for the sins of the whole world. 2 Peter 2:1 But false prophets also arose among the people, just as there will be false teachers among you, who will secretly bring in destructive...

    Interesting reformed church visit today, a report card.

    Charles Spurgeon’s grandmother offered him a penny for each Isaac Watts hymn that he memorized. His love of hymns remained with him for the rest of his life, becoming a part of his theological vocabulary. “No matter on what topic I am preaching, I can even now, in the middle of any sermon, quote...

    Interesting reformed church visit today, a report card.

    I looked up the words of Loner and still could not understand what they were saying while reading the lyrics during the video. What baffles me is the comments under the comment section. “I'm a Christian goth and I was looking for some music that I like while also worshipping God. I got it!”...

    Interesting reformed church visit today, a report card.

    To be honest I don’t know the difference between heavy metal and rock and roll. When I was born in January 1953 my parents lived in a two room shack with no running water and my mother washed my diapers out in a creek behind the house. I grew up listening to country music and gospel songs and...

    Interesting reformed church visit today, a report card.

    I guess music is one of the things a church must decide upon and if someone objects, he can simply go to a different church, the same as someone who is upset with requiring choir members to dress up. As far as the T.U.L.I.P. goes, I guess there is nothing wrong with having an outline of one’s...

    Interesting reformed church visit today, a report card.

    I also attended a Reformed Baptist Church a few times and thoroughly enjoyed the services, and the invitations were very similar to your experience. I went to a Sunday School class where the book of Revelation was being taught and even though they didn’t believe in the Dispensational aspect of...

    Dolly Parton

    I was born in Cocke County Tennessee which is one county over from where Dolly Parton grew up. Even though I was Southern Baptist and she was Pentecostal, many churches in that region were very emotional. I was used to people “getting happy” and shouting while running the aisles. In this video...

    Let's talk about the word "standards"

    This is what Phil Johnson touches on in the following video starting at the 8:12 mark. "There are Christians, including some Christian leaders, who I would say are sinfully obsessed with the whims and entertainments of this world. Chasing the latest fad is their favorite pastime. And they seem...

    Parable of the tares

    Ransom said: 1. Since you've made no effort to prove John uses the word differently than the rest of the New Testament: Every time there's a mention of "saints." You just repeating ad nauseam that it isn't the Church, doesn't make it so. Show your work. 2. Voicecrying also makes a good point...

    Let's talk about the word "standards"

    Up until the late 60’s foul language was strictly censored on American television and even in the 1970’s full length motion pictures made for television were also censored where foul language was cut out. Today, can someone name any movies made for adults, other than those made for children or...

    Let's talk about the word "standards"

    I know a guy on a forum who doesn’t believe Christians should be involved in the political process of choosing their representatives because he believes they are dragging the name of Christ through the mud by mixing the world with the gospel. He believes if they ever do vote, they should never...

    Let's talk about the word "standards"

    If you go to a church that requires Sunday School teachers or choir members to dress up, instead of being a Pharisee or heretic (one who causes division) simply go to another church. If the church is abusive and shows no grace you shouldn’t go there anyway.

    Let's talk about the word "standards"

    Whether you like it or not, pants for many years were considered strictly men’s clothing. As I mentioned, once before, if you could go back in a time machine not that many generations ago and tried to apply your modern “standards” back then, you would be arrested. Even the public schools I went...

    Show me where the church is found after Revelation chapter three. You can't.

    Parable of the tares

    Clearly the Church is only mentioned seven times in the first three chapters of Revelation. Only Israel and the Jewish saints from the 12 tribes are mentioned after that. It is the time of Jacob's trouble (Jer 30:7). It has nothing to do with the punishment of the Church. I refer once again...

    Parable of the tares

    “Saints” according to the context can refer to more than just Christians in the Church age. The word simply means “holy ones.” Not only do you have it used for Old Testament saints, but angels are sometimes referred to as “saints” (KJV) as in Deuteronomy 33:2. References to angels at the giving...

    Let's talk about the word "standards"

    It is mostly teens that will come to church with short shorts on who are members of the church. I only brought up bikinis (which I haven’t seen) as a counter to your extreme example asserting that women wearing dresses belong to a cult. I have no problem with men wearing their hair long but in...

    No one can argue against how ridiculous that is.
