So far in the discussion on Ray Boltz nobody has made mention of the scriptural fallout as a result of his so-called "coming out of the closet." In other words, since Ray Boltz is a homosexual, I wonder how many of you are willing to obey the scriptures and separate from him by throwing away any and all tapes, CDs, sheet music, ect of his that you might have? 1 Corinthians 5:11 -"But now I have written unto you not to keep company, if any man that is called a brother be a fornicator, or covetous, or an idolater, or a railer, or a drunkard, or an extortioner; with such an one no not to eat."

I want to try to bring up this subject without addressing specific issues if possible. In God's Word it basically says that even though God specifically says its okay to eat meat, that some "weaker brethren" will still prefer to avoid it, and that that's okay too. What I find, though, is when we get on the topic of standards/seperation, that some will say that its the "weaker bretheren" that have the stronger standards. It does not, however, make sense to me that the closer we get to God, the "looser" we become in matters of worldly seperation. I understand the Biblical example of eating meat, because God specifically says "Its okay to eat meat." So to actually h…

?I have said, Ye are gods...But ye shall die like men? - Psalm 82:6-7 ?Thou shalt not revile the gods, nor curse the ruler of thy people.? - Exodus 22:28 ?he called them gods, unto whom the word of God came? - John 10:35 The true meaning of all three verses as found in the King James Bible is that the word ?gods? refers to earthly men who were given the divinely appointed office of judges who were to administer God?s laws to the common people. We see this idea from the very beginning when God appears to Moses and sends him as a lawgiver unto Israel. ?And the LORD said unto Moses, See, I have made thee a god to Pharaoh: and Aaron thy brother shall be thy prophe…

I have had no problem believing that the unsaved go to Hell as soon as they die (Luke 16 eg) but I once read a comment from an Evangelical Bible teacher that no-one is in Hell at the present time. This person does believe in Eternal Punishment and argues against annihilation but does not accept that the unsaved are, at present, in Hell. Your comments please.

Simple truth is, Jesus was crucified on a WEDNESDAY. There's simply no way to get three days & three nights from Friday to Sunday AM, even with Jesus being resurrected DURING the 3rd day. Good Friday is a bogus holiday, man-made by the RCC.

We had our bible study in the office this afternoon. And I told my Christian workmates that I don't agree women becoming pastors. Because it is written in the bible. There are Christian denominations here who is tolerating or accepts women as preachers. Can you site the passage in the bible where it says so women can't lead or teach in the church. Thanks!

I've known many IFBs who were against going to the beach (during swimming season--summer) because of the way men and women dress. However, I have also known many IFBs who will enjoy summertime at the beach by swimming and such. Is it ok to go to the beach if you are dressing modestly? Or is it not appropriate, because even if you are dressed modestly, you are putting yourself in a situation to surround yourself by many who are not?

What do these verses mean to you ? Titus 3:9 But avoid foolish questions, and genealogies, and contentions, and strivings about the law; for they are unprofitable and vain. Titus 3:10 A man that is an heretick after the first and second admonition reject; Titus 3:11 Knowing that he that is such is subverted, and sinneth, being condemned of himself.

Believe it or not, I have come to the conclusion (drum roll, please) that I should have long hair. I previously fought vehemently against this because I considered it legalism and a form of self-righteousness. Now I see that my cutting my hair was a symbolic rebellion against men in my life controlling me. So this is a big deal for me. And my bangs are in my eyes and driving me crazy. But I'm letting my hair grow as a symbol and crown of my femininity.

A few years ago, the LORD started allowing my path to cross, with some Evangelists He used to change my life! I not only have learned from what they've preached, I've watched their lives! BTW, I'd recommend any of these men, at the drop of a hat! Here's a list of them. These are Evangelists and not Pastors who preach Revivals! Terry Pace, Scottsboro, AL Larry Raynes, Taylors, SC Randy Sutherland, Calhoun, GA Milford Biddle, Easly, SC Billy Mitchell, Jamestown, TN Stinnett Ballew, Resacca, GA

According to Deuteronomy 14:And thou shalt bestow that money for whatsoever thy soul lusteth after, for oxen, or for sheep, or for wine, or for strong drink, or for whatsoever thy soul desireth: and thou shalt eat there before the Lord thy God, and thou shalt rejoice, thou, and thine household, it appears that God has allowed the children of Isreal to drink alcohol. He even uses the word lusteth in the verse. Is this also for the church? I'm confused. Please help.

[i]I have posted links to this article before to answer some questions, but I find many times that the other Christians here sometimes either do not follow links to other sites or do not post their replies to the material presented. So here it is on Online Baptist. This should answer some of the questions posted recently as well. Even if you disagree with some of what I have presented here, or my own conclusions, at least please prayerfully consider the information presented as this article answers many of the questions that keep coming up. It also states why we feel so strongly on this issue.[/i] [b]Bible Versions - Does It Matter?[/b] I have been comparing Bible v…

I keep seeing topics by Paul Chappell and then here is one by David Cloud which exposes some of Chappell's dangerous associations with CCM, Calvinists, RIck Warren, 'contemplative mysticism' etc.. Who does the owner of this forum agree with; Chappell or Cloud? http://www.wayoflife.org/index_files/paul_chappells_pragmatism_and_dangerous.html#unique-entry-id-1247

I'm curious.....how do you as an IFB view SBC? I had discussed this with someone & they (being SBC) thought IFB people feel that SBC's weren't going to heaven? I thought that was a broad statement to make and I didn't agree with their thinking. So, how do you feel about SBC? I feel that if you're in a good SBC church, in many regards it's not a lot different than IFB. Your thoughts? Details please.

I have seen a disturbing trend on this board and also in "real life". I hope everyone will understand my post as not being written in anger or meanness, but out of genuine concern. My biggest concern has been seeing this trend (which I will explain) in pastors and others in full time ministry. Our main complaint of neoevangelicism is the fact that they often change their beliefs or way of doing things in order to attract/keep the most people. However, I see this in our circles today as well. More and more I hear "People's schedules are just too tight to attend church faithfully, so we should really schedule less things. After all, its just a church building, and…

Here is a question for those who hold a favorable view toward Reformed or Calvinistic doctrine. If you had to state your two strongest positions concerning TULIP what two positions would they be? Total Depravity, Unconditional Election, Limited Atonement, Irresistible Grace or Perseverance of the Saints. Please chose the two strongest points and tell me why you hold to those points as being the strongest. I would like for this discussion to be civil and not condescending or attacking.

At the request of another member I am starting this thread to discuss the legitimacy of what is known as "Faith Promise Missions" I am for supporting missionaries financially. However, I am against Faith Promise Missions. To explain why, I am including the following link: http://www.libertygospeltracts.com/bibl ... money1.htm

Calvinists: God is a jealous God. In fact he is so jealous that he creates some people to be predestined to worship other Gods. -
God is obviously beginning to focus on the JEW, and that means the "time of the Gentiles', is .......soon to be completed. It will be interesting to see what Iran does now.....as they will only become more offensive regarding the perspective of the world-view..... from now on. What LEADERS of countries now realize is that Iran will shoot weapons of mass destruction toward CIVILIANS.... Ballistic Missiles Cruise Missiles Drones with war heads. They just sent over 300 of these to try to kill the CITIZENS in Israel. Nothing was aimed at a base or a runway or Troops. IRAN tried to KILL The citizens in Israel, as they always do, with all the Thousands of Rockets that are sent for years and years... from Lebanon, or by Hezbollah, or Hamas, = Gaza. Israel just last night bombed a BASE in Iran, and destroyed a large Radar Tower. They didnt try to kill any IRAN Civilians, because Israel is not the murdering mob..... Israel is a tiny country trying to stay alive.....and God will make certain of it...... IRAN is the murdering mob that sends in their Proxy's... like Hezbollah, and Hamas......who use humans as body shields, and they will kill Jews, Americans, Brits, Australians, Germans......= anything that isn't a Quran worshiping muslim. These demonic MULLAH's who control all this.......From Iran, they sit there and "mouse click"....>"OK< we need Hamas to do this, and Hezbollah to do that".. And what IRAN does not comprehend, is that Israel is a War Machine backed by God that will not just fight in Gaza... they will take their fight right down the Throat's of these Iranian "leadership", who seem to believe they are insulated... They are going to find this out the hard way, now that they have opened the Door to become "under the Gun" regarding GOD's MIGHTY Little nation. -
I just found this website today, April 19, 2024. Never heard of him. Can you relate any experiences you've had concerning him or his ministry? From the home page: https://kjvevangelist.com/ "Psalm 138:2 I will worship toward thy holy temple, and praise thy name for thy lovingkindness and for thy truth: for thou hast magnified thy word above all thy name. Greetings in the Name of Jesus Christ, We are, Jack and Barb Koons; Evangelists to America, and as the Letterhead states; “Promoting the King James Bible, and Refuting Calvinism, and Arminianism”. After researching the King James issue since about 1990, and having written a book on the subject named “What is So Special About the King James Bible?”; God has called me to teach churches why we believe the King James is the inspired, inerrant, and preserved Word of God, for English speaking people. I am available to teach anything from a single lesson, to an entire conference on the King James. My book could also be used as a textbook at any seminary, standing on the King James. Furthermore, seeing how Calvinism (“Reformed Theology”) has been taking over many churches, and growing in popularity, (because it appeals to the supposed “sovereignty” of God); I also teach why this is a NOT a Biblical doctrine. I have written a book titled, “The Biblical View of Salvation”, which is a series of 173 lessons, which covers the Doctrine of Salvation from a practical perspective, and also refutes Calvinism, and Arminianism. I am available to teach anything from the basic Gospel message, to detailed messages presented at a revival, or such type meetings. Please explore the menu on this sight to see how Barb and I can be a service to you. Because the Lord is still on the Throne, Jack Koons"
