    Interesting reformed church visit today, a report card.

    Does 2 Peter 2:1 teach that Christ, by His death on the cross, atoned for the sins of unsaved false prophets who bring in destructive heresies? Not necessarily. "Wayne Grudem makes a good case that Peter is referring to the Exodus in 2:1. For Peter compares the false prophets that would arise...

    Do You Suffer From Israel Derangement Syndrome?

    "Know ye therefore that they which are of faith, the same are the children of Abraham. . . . So then they which be of faith are blessed with faithful Abraham. . . . And if ye be Christ's then are ye Abraham's seed, and heirs according to the promise." - Galatians 3:7, 9, 29 "For in Christ Jesus...

    Interesting reformed church visit today, a report card.

    This "Enoch" stuff does not belong in any church service, except maybe the Church of Satan. I vote for Charles Wesley.

    Area crackpot renames Lake Ontario

    So that's why it says "I remember" on Quebec automotive license plates. These folks have long memories. I had no idea that Quebecers were still riled over the execution of Louis Riel - that was in 1885! As far as I'm concerned, Riel had it coming, for the execution of Thomas Scott. Riel...

    Area crackpot renames Lake Ontario

    So far, the name change to Lake America is going over like a lead balloon in America - I don't see what Trump gains by this childish stuff: City in Republican stronghold by 'Lake America' decries Trump name change...

    Area crackpot renames Lake Ontario

    Meanwhile, Canadian voters are reacting negatively to Trump's war on Canada, the only way they seem to know how, by voting for the most liberal candidates. Support for the Conservative Party in one Quebec riding dropped from 34% to 13%...

    Area crackpot renames Lake Ontario

    Trump's war on Canada is not going over well with Americans - 14% support the renaming of Lake Ontario, 63% opposed. Radioactive levels of TDS out there. Trump’s lake name change immediately blows up in his face...

    Do You Suffer From Israel Derangement Syndrome?

    Yeah, we were told that we were not fighting Iran on behalf of Israel, the war had nothing to do with Israel, we had no choice to go to war purely on American interests. But now Bibi is openly bragging that he is the one who is responsible for getting us into the war. No surprise, we knew that...

    Do You Suffer From Israel Derangement Syndrome?

    The lady in the video said, "Then I read one actual history book." I hope she read at least one of these books, by Israeli Jewish historians. Ilan Pappe, "The Ethnic Cleansing of Palestine" Benny Morris, "The Birth of the Palestinian Refugee Problem 1947-1949" Gershom Gorenberg, "Accidental...

    Area crackpot renames Lake Ontario

    Lake Burger - no way. The Governor of Wisconsin has already renamed Lake Michigan "Lake Wisconsin." (Two can play the rename game). At this time of national and international crises, it is comforting to know that our Fearless Leader is focusing like a laser beam on the really important stuff...

    Just what we needed, yet another disgruntled grouch on FFF. Welcome, Terry, and join the crowd.

    Anyone following the latest on Noah's Ark?

    Noah's Ark sightings, like sightings of Bigfoot, Elvis and the Loch Ness monster, are notoriously difficult to pin down and document. Did you hear the one about the explorers who found Noah's Ark, but they couldn't get too close? It's now being used as a Yeti longhouse. :cool:

    Anyone following the latest on Noah's Ark?

    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...

    Chicago Public Schools refuse to allow Student Teachers to take part in the public school arena.

    "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...

    Let's talk about the word "standards"

    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...

    Let's talk about the word "standards"

    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...

    John MacArthur’s successor chosen.

    Let's talk about the word "standards"

    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...

    Parable of the tares

    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...

    Big Shack Attack - Back To "The Shack"

    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...
