Noah's Ark Scan, or Scam? It's too soon to tell. Let's wait until the evidence is in. "Even Young Earth creationists at the Christian apologetics ministry Answers in Genesis said they 'will withhold judgment until further study.' 'Over the decades, we have learned to be cautious about such...

"The failures of the Chicago Public Schools live in infamy: Abysmally low test scores, delivering an almost negative return on investment for the exorbitant price of $40,000 per pupil, with more to come amidst even more demands from the state of Illinois for funding. And that’s going to be paid...

This is a good discussion. I don't pretend to have all the answers with regard to how to handle church members who flee the coop instead of hanging around for the disciplinary process. It appears that the Apostle Paul did more than just let Hymenaeus and Alexander quietly go, in 1 Timothy 1:20...

Here is the official statement by Jonathan Leeman, prominent 9 Marks rep, who says you need a permission slip to leave your church. "To state the argument here in a single paragraph, we can say that ending one’s membership in a church requires the consent of both parties. We join a church by...

Never heard of him. Protestia Guy gives Busenitz the thumbs up - "It's a great choice." https://protestia.com/2026/08/23/grace-community-church-names-john-macarthurs-successor/

Case study. In 1990 I left the membership of IFB Church #1 to join IFB Church #2. I asked the pastor of IFB Church #2 if he was going to check with the pastor of IFB Church #1, who was a long-time personal friend of his, about my transfer of membership, and he said No, there was no need for...

So, those who "keep the commandments of God, and have the testimony of Jesus Christ" in Revelation 12:17, and "The saints: here are they that keep the commandments of God, and the faith of Jesus," in Revelation 14:12, are not to be classified as Christians? That's weird. Matthew 24:21-22, "For...

In the original "Shack," God the Father is a black woman named "Papa." See Al Mohler's comments on the "Shack" book: “'Papa' corrects Mack’s theology by asserting, 'I don’t need to punish people for sin. Sin is its own punishment, devouring you from the inside. It’s not my purpose to punish...

"On the March 12, 2017 episode 5 of Trinity Broadcast Network’s long running Restoring The Shack television series, Shack author Wm. Paul Young stated that it is a 'lie' to believe that God is 'separate' from His creation. . . . "What Young was attempting to convey to countless TBN viewers was...

For those not familiar with Dr. John Hamblin, see the reviews of his preaching on this page: https://www.stufffundieslike.com/tag/john-hamblin/page/2/ "Then he went on to state that if you don’t carry a tract in your pocket that you must not be a true Christian. Where in the Bible is this ever...

[I posted this on another thread, but for anyone who missed it, here it is again]: "I want to stop here and ask everyone who still attends church to give this post to their church leaders. That harmless, 'I love Jesus' former child sex abuse offender is most likely NOT who he says he is. It’s...

Clearly Christians are mentioned as being present during the tribulation judgments. The 144,000 are Christians. Christian believers are mentioned in Revelation 7:14-15, 11:3, 12:17, 13:7, 14:12, etc. I don't see how we can get around this by saying that the "saints" are not necessarily...

"I want to stop here and ask everyone who still attends church to give this post to their church leaders. That harmless, 'I love Jesus' former child sex abuse offender is most likely NOT who he says he is. It’s time to wake up and apply tough love to any of these offenders who come into our...

Revelation 7:3-8 and 14:1-5 do not make any mention whatsoever of the 144,000 preaching the everlasting gospel. Nor is there any mention of them making any converts. Revelation 7:9-10, the "great multitude," is assumed by some to refer to those converted by the 144,000, but the text does not...

It doesn't fit. Also, this passage appears to militate against the common teaching that the unsaved will have a second chance to be saved after the Rapture. Some go so far as to predict a massive revival and harvest of souls after the Rapture (the "Left Behind" novels, for instance), but I...

I believe that we would all agree that women should not attend church in hot pants or a bikini. I'm just not sure if that is exactly what Paul was dealing with in 1 Timothy 2 (or Peter in 1 Peter 3) or if this type of indecent apparel was a big problem in the First century churches. My only...

Okay, now we are getting somewhere - a Scriptural standard for women's apparel! The wimmin-folk are not allowed to have braided hair or wear gold or pearls - does this apply to women in all places, or only when in church? They are not allowed to wear "costly array" - what is the dollar amount...

"All expositors connected with State churches, and those who follow their leading, unite in wresting by interpretation in the support of those false churches, by teaching that the FIELD is the VISIBLE STATE CHURCH, in which the notoriously bad must be allowed to grow without disturbance by...

My understanding concerning recommended "best practices" for churches that allow sex offenders to attend is (1) The presence of the sex offender, including his name, should be disclosed publicly to the congregation. (2) Someone must be designated to accompany and monitor the sex offender at all...

I have never been a fan or follower of Candace Owens, don't know much about her, but she appears to be a real crackpot who is unworthy of anyone's support or credence. For confirmation of that, see this article...
