    Where is the balance?

    According to 1 Cor. 6, believers are not to take one another to court. Obviously, this passage has been abused and misinterpreted and not followed as God intended. Where does a church or a pastor draw the line here? Given the number of sexual offenses being reported today, is it even possible...

    To What is Jesus Referring Here?

    "And in vain they worship Me, Teaching as doctrines the commandments of men." Mt 15:9 I have heard the accusation many times that preachers, especially in the IFB realm, are "teaching as doctrine the commandment of men." What do you think this means? Does it means they are requiring...

    How do you interpret I Samuel 26:11?

    I Samuel 26:11 "The LORD forbid that I should stretch out my hand against the LORD'S anointed... Is David setting a precedent here that God's leader (God Himself had Samuel anoint Saul) can lead with impunity? That the God-called pastor is untouchable? That he can rule and lead the church...

    Rick Dawson's funeral

    I was able to watch some of it on FB live but I could only see the speakers. I am curious as to who else attended the funeral who had ties to WHBC/OBC. Can someone who attended list those who you remember being there?

    The Homegoing of Joshua Wesson

    I'm sure anyone remotely connected with WHBC/OBC has already heard about this; but, the family could really use all of our prayers. http://www.bimi.org/content/spWesson.php

    The All Star game is in Cincinnati....

    ....do you think it's time for Charlie Hustle to be put on the ballot for the Hall of Fame? Do you think he should be allowed back into the game of baseball in some capacity?

    Who's who in HACindom

    [list type=decimal] Who, in your opinion, is the "best known" graduate of HAC? Who, in your opinion, is the most "successful" (ministry-wise)? Who, in your opinion, had the most potential but turned out to be a dud?  [/list] I am going to give my opinions on the above questions, but realize...

    Johannine Comma question

    It is an undisputed fact that Erasmus included the comma in the 3rd edition of his Greek text (1522 A.D.) in spite of the fact that it was not found in the most ancient of manuscripts or the majority of Greek manuscripts, period. My question is this: Does this fact take away the key weighting...

    Are all things really pure to the pure?

    As I was contemplating the dress standards thread, I wondered at how our perception of modesty has changed through the years. What was considered immodest when I was a child would be be very much acceptable today. Some of what is acceptable today would have been considered x-rated when I was a...

    Baptist congregation in a SDA building?

    Would you have any problem, as a Baptist church member, if you met in a Seventh Day Adventist building; which, of course, is unused on Sunday? There is a new church here in my area that is doing just that.

    What would the leagues say or do?

    What do you think the NFL and the NBA would do if white players came out wearing shirts or making gestures in support of the officers involved in the two deaths that these players are referring to?

    The "elect lady and her children"

    "THE ELDER, To the elect lady and her children, whom I love in truth, and not only I, but also all those who have known the truth" (II John verse 1) Is the writer of this epistle writing to an actual lady or was he using a metaphor for a local church? The part that makes me, personally, think...

    I have a suggestion...

    Would it be a difficult thing to put the following links also at the bottom of the page? When reading a lengthy page, it would be so convenient to just stay there at the bottom and click on those links as opposed scrolling all the way back up to the top. I know it is a matter of just a few...

    Jesus was a "friend of sinners"?

    So as not to continue the derailing of another thread, I would like to explore this topic and share my thoughts on the matter. It was asked earlier: I guess, for me, the key word would be "associate." To me, this implies that Jesus "hung out" regularly with such people. That He spent large...

    Does the IFB have a modern version of the Talmud?

    The Jews of Jesus' day had the idea that Moses descended from Mt Sinai with two sets of laws, one written on tablets and one intended to be passed on by oral tradition. Initially both were of equal value but eventually as the oral tradition was handed down from generation to generation, it...

    KJVO indicators

    What are some words or phrases that would indicate that you are dealing with a dyed-in-the-wool KJVO? I've heard the term "double inspiration" being thrown around but never talked to a KJVO that admitted that he/she believed in it. I've heard the phrase "the Word of God for English-speaking...
