    Calling Independent Baptists

    I'm looking in this thread to engage with Baptists. Not all of them, just Independent Baptists. The Baptist-successionalist, KJV-only, soul-winning type of Independent Baptist as embodied by Pastor Steven L. Anderson in the video below: I'd engage the Pastor Anderson himself were he to show...

    Georney Through Genesis, Chapter One

    Familiarity with this chapter--via past attempts to read through the Bible in this and other versions, as well as through Bible studies and AiG articles--hasn't bred contempt, but it does make it a little more difficult to concentrate on what's being said. The common complaint of archaic...

    Georney Through Genesis, Prelude

    I have accepted SaulToPaul's challenge to take a few months and read the King James Bible. Will start at the logical place, the beginning, and post my thoughts here, presuming I have any. May God bless this enterprise.

    Things that Make Sense To Me

    Just throwing this thread in this here junk drawer area, because it'll include religion and politics at times, but sometimes neither. Thing number one incorporates both: #1 The critical eye you turn on others' religions should be equally turned on one's own. Case in point: A Christian...

    Theology Club: For Jerry: Synthesis of Synoptic and Johannine Points-of-View

    Carrying over from another thread, I ceded Jerry, for the sake of argument, that he is correct in his interpretation of Johannine verses on soteriology. Jerry believes the saved-by-faith-without-works gospel was part of Jesus' earthly teachings. Allowing that (again, for the sake of argument...

    ECT Help for the Theologically Homeless

    Hello, all. As with all things here, this will likely evolve into a debate (and maybe that's a good thing), but it is not my primary intention here. Without ado: I am looking for a home. I don't have time (nor does Knight have the bandwidth, I think) to chronicle my spiritual wanderings...

    Writing My Testimony

    As part of a class I'm taking, I've been asked to write my testimony. Nothing brings up the inner voices accusing me of being a fraud like introspection.

    Plot Deconstruction - Prologue

    Prove all things; hold fast that which is good. 1 Thessalonians 5:21 KJV This is to be the first in a series of posts critical of dispensationalism, primarily of the Mid-Acts variety, but the critiques by and large hold true across nearly all dispensational models. It is important to state...

    Low

    Feeling snappish. While it could seem that I have an ax to grind against Mid-Acts Dispensationalism, I don't. I wish I could still believe in the neatly-wrapped truth-claims it presents. Being able to separate which doctrines to follow from those safe to ignore is as inviting as the apple...

    Burying My Mother-In-Law

    Tomorrow I leave for Mankato, KS, a smallish town in northern Kansas where my father-in-law grew up and met his future wife. On October 5 this year, my mother-in-law died of cancer. She was 59. She was something of a loopy soul. She was diabetic, and when her sugar would get too low, she would...

    MMORPG Blues

    Well, I found out what was going on with RIFT. I knew servers were migrating, what I didn't understand was my server, Shatterbone, was one of those being phased out. Berrachla now has a comfy little home on the Wolfsbane shard. Meanwhile, I played enough of Star Wars The Old Republic to wonder...

    RIFT is STILL DOWN

    So I've downloaded Star Wars: The Old Republic. Apparently, they've added starfighter dog-fighting to the game since I played it last, which I felt was sorely missing from an otherwise-excellent game. It's taking its sweet time installing, though. Hope I'm not eligible for the Senior Slam at...
