A ‘promise being left’ ‘upon the Israel of God’ (Gal.6:16), ‘of entring into his rest’ (Heb.4:1), ‘the seventh day’ (Heb.4:4), yet acts, because ‘one day is with the Lord as a thousand yeeres, and a thousand yeeres as one day’ 2Pet.3:8. Israel will be able to say after its purification, ‘The Lord is my God’, and God will say, It is my people’ (Zech.13:9), ‘for beholde, I create Ierusalem a reioycing, and her people a ioy. And I wil reioyce in Ierusalem, and ioy in my people’ (Is.65:18-19) ‘¶ And in that day there shall bee a roote of Iesse, which shall stand for an ensigne of the people; to it shall the Gentiles seeke, and his rest shall bee glorious.’ (Is.11:10) ‘Th…

With this disease spreading fast the Christian Law Association posted the following a week ago. https://christianlaw.org/pray-for-healing-keep-fervently-sharing-the-gospel/ Mega churches are cancelling services to help stop the spread of the Coroana virus. Has anyone's church here done anything, and is there a panic in your church/community about all of this? Me being outside NYC, everyone is in a panic.

Because you have not seen fit to properly introduce yourself as is customarily polite on most message forums, I would like to ask that you please take the time to introduce yourself in our "introduction" forum. A customary introduction allows other members of the forum to get to know you and properly welcome you to our small group. Here at Online Baptist part of a proper introduction will include a bit of your history, a statement of your salvation experience and any other things that help us get to know who you are and what you believe. This is especially important when someone such as yourself bursts on the scene as a full blown teacher with no introduction.

In the first two chapters of the first book of the Bible, God, as the Author of the Scriptures, reveals fundamental truths to us. In the prophetic meaning of verses, we are given answers to the most important questions of mankind: “What is the meaning of human life?”, “Why did God create Lucifer?”, “How people who lived before the incarnation of the Son of God and did not have the words of truth could please God and receive eternal safety in Christ?”, “What is God’s purpose in creating the world?” The first chapter of Genesis and the last chapter of the book of Revelation are the first and last chapters in the Bible, and therefore have their own peculiarity. They speak of…

So, what Biblical error do you come across often that just drives you nuts? Here is mine: Pictures of the Lord's Supper with LEAVENED bread! Drives me NUTS! Where does anyone get the idea that the Lord's Supper, which was established using specifically unleavened bread, and considering the fact that the Bible uses leaven as a symbol of sin more than once, that we ought to be using leavened bread? Now, I am against the use of any fermented wine for the cup, but at least I kind of understand the reason for that error. But LEAVENED bread for the body of Christ? Can anyone explain WHY this is done? Maybe someone here uses leavened bread and you can explain why.

Just thought a give a little update on how a civilized country, and a country that follows its CONSTITUTION, Taiwan, conducts "Home Quarantine" for : (1) Individuals with COVID-19 ; (2) Persons recently entering Taiwan. Please take careful note. A civilized country, or a government that does not have an hidden agenda, quarantines those with THE DISEASE or those WHO ARE SUSPECTED on having the disease. For your information, due to our just recent travel from a country, the US, that has a high incident of COVID-19 we are under a mandatory 14-day quarantine. By the way, Taiwan has one of the lowest death rates of COVID-19 among those countries that has the diseas…

Why I am here I have a personal attachment to the Old Testament and the verses contained therein. This includes the verses where the Lord talked directly to the Israelite people. In this one-way discussion the Lord laid out directives for them to follow and the blessing they would get if they followed His suggestions. I took these directives and compared them to historical events and found them wanting. Personally, I would like to see the Israeli people change their ways by embracing the stranger (Palestinian) and treat them as one of their own just as the Lord instructed them to do. I truly believe this “example” would create a wave of peace across the middle east. …

With our prayer meeting on Wednesdays our pastor has been teaching subjects. NT Survey Sermon On The Mount Apologetics and now Psalms 119. Each week a new letter from the Hebrew and the eight accompanying verses. All of these studies have been great. I'm really enjoying this last one. We just completed GIMEL verses 17-24. I'm looking forward to DALETH.

Since most churches now live stream their services. Go ahead and drop the link below where we can find them in a comment. I'll watch some as I have time, maybe others will as well.

The news has always been filled with doom and gloom, but due to the events of the past few months, the doom and gloom seems to have inundated every aspect of life. Recently I have read articles explaining that some people are so unable to cope with enforced isolation that they have taken their own lives. The articles warn that similar cases will increase before this current epidemic has been brought under control and life returns to normal. Unfortunately many churches/pastors have embraced this doom and gloom mentality, their only focus seems to be on what has been lost due to the church doors being shut. They seem to be spinning in circles, unable to help themselve…

I don't think anyone on the forum knows Heidi (with the possible exception of Jordan). She was a college student who worked with us in our nursing home ministry. She struggled with many emotional issues, and succumbed to depression by killing herself. The family desires that the story be told and that her death will not be in vain. It's 30 minutes, so doesn't take long, but it's very much worth it. Please listen and even share it with others. https://unshackled.org/listen/latest-program/?fbclid=IwAR2kC7jGlk55AeNujJoix082YMJVFNOPbKGwcw33_GPtl9R7V6DSP02_Has

Brethren, In mainland, or Communist, China, the communist government is using the Conoravirus situation to further crackdown on churches. If you read the article carefully you will notice that after the churches started to broadcast their services via the internet the crackdown intensified. Also, you may want to notice that the videos, and the recorded messages, werre used against the speakers and even the members of the congregations. Quote, "Religious freedom watchdogs say the Chinese Communist Party is using the coronavirus outbreak as cover for further persecuting religion, tearing down some churches and using cameras to carefully monitor others.

My daughter and her husband work at a hospital in Jacksonville, Fl that has run out of masks. She sent a CDC approved pattern to my wife. It involves cotton and elastic. If anyone would be willing to make and mail them I can try to get the pattern to you (maybe she and I can figure out how to get it from her phone to a link in this post) and the shipping address. If a hospital near you needs masks and will authorize the use of these, you and your churches or friends might be able to help health care workers in your area. Anyone interested can let me know (this thread or PM) and I'll try to get the info on here (my wife is making some, I'll later tell 'x' # for 'y' yards -…

The Lord has blessed me with opportunities to travel through out the Northeast preaching at different Churches and Baptist Colleges. Due to the virus all my recent meetings have been cancelled, but I'm looking forward to starting up again when this is over. Anyways, I recently (3 weeks ago) took my girls and one of our church teens with me to preach at Vision Baptist College in NJ to look at the school and sit in on classes. While I was there to preach I figured I'd let the girls sing in chapel. The girl playing the piano & the girl on the right are my daughters, and the girl on the left is a teen that was saved on our bus ministry and is looking at attend…

Every day I check the church website there are junk feedback entries - between 8 and 16 at least once a day and sometimes twice. Usually they are trying to tell me how to make squillions from bitcoin, sometimes trying to sell me pharmaceuticals cheap, sometimes offering to be my wife. I also get emails from all sorts trying the same things and also trying to give me a few million that was left to them for a good cause by their great uncle who was the treasurer of some place or another. Thankfully I can just delete them, but it does take time, and it is annoying. And because they come from all sorts of different emails there is no way to block them. So…

I thought it might be interesting to see what everyone did in church. Was it an average, interesting, funny, or momentous day? Is it missions conference time? Special services or special guest preacher? Picnic on the grounds after services? You can talk about anything, share pictures, videos, etc, just keep it focused on what happened at your church (or a church you visited) recently. No controversy, please, I'd like this to be a positive thread. If you're worried about sharing too much personal things online, you can keep it simple, just post what scripture was preached from, the title of the sermon (if any), subject of the sermon, an interesting tidbit from the sermon,…

Over here we are about to head into the last bit of Christmas eve, so I want to wish you all a merry Christmas. Argue all you like about the terminology, the day, the date, the theology, etc, but I mean it in the simplest and nicest sense. Merry Christmas to all, and to all a good night.

I am not a perfect Christian, but I try to be. I try to not only preach God's word, but also practice God's word. One of many practices by Christians and even IFB and non-IFB churches I have seen growing and taking over like a tsunami is the practice of erecting a Christmas tree in God's house or individual homes. I do not understand how we can erect a tree to "ooh and ahh" over, and lay gifts at its feet when the ONLY ONE we must be doing this reverence to is THE ONE TRUE "KING OF KINGS, AND LORD OF LORDS": REVELATION 19:16 KJV "And he hath on his vesture and on his thigh a name written, KING OF KINGS, AND LORD OF LORDS." G…

I thought this was an interesting read, and I'm curious what everyone's thoughts on Bible College is. Personally, I am very much for Bible College, and I usually encourage young person to attend for at least one year. However, Bible college is not a Biblical qualification for a pastor, nor does God call everyone to Bible college. https://heartlandbaptist.edu/2020/01/bible-college-provides-a-solid-bible-foundation-for-life/

Happy Australia Day everyone! 26th January 1788 is the day the First Fleet arrived at Sydney Cove. 11 ships 1400 people, and an evangelical preacher called Richard Johnson, who brought with him 4200 bibles. He preached from Psalm 116: 12, 13 12 What shall I render unto the LORD for all his benefits toward me? 13 I will take the cup of salvation, and call upon the name of the LORD. The first Christian message preached on Australian shores was from this passage, by a man who refused to preach good works (when ordered by the governor), instead preaching of salvation by grace through faith.

The Lord provided for us and I was able to take my wife away for our 31st anniversary- not "away - away", just to the south-west of our state (about 200km away from home), to stay in a little cabin in the bush for a few days. Anyway, one of the things we did was to find a popular off-road track down here called Three Bears. We have a 1985 Toyota Landcruiser - it is not new, but it is in good condition, and they are a capable truck. Anyway, we got a little video of the track. 31 years married and she still comes 4x4ing with me (on the rare occasion we get to go.) I hope you enjoy this few minutes as much as we enjoyed the hour of track work. a888…

Our Pastor is going to Ethiopia on Wednesday to support an Ethiopian friend Pastor xxxxx who has a church about 100 km (abt 63 miles) from Addis Ababa. Pastor xxxxx has had at least two attempts on his life and been threatened many times. We are praying for the Gospel that our pastor will preach and for the safety of both pastors. Pastor is also going to the midlands here on Monday, to preach at a funeral of his former boss who was not a believer. He accepted as long as the family knew that he would preach a message from the bible.

Brother D.Bovee In you reply to Pastor Markle, and his excellent work in the Greek language and the Greek verb semaino, Collier's Dictionary meaning, and with his understanding of Revelation 1:1, I would like to quote a verse that you used in order to justify your judgmental attitude towards us (fundamentalists). Here is the link to the thread: You quoted Proverbs 3:5, "Trust in the Lord with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding." (Proverbs 3:5). In order for us to obey this verse on to not to lean on our own understanding, and not to presume anything, but act on knowledge, we, would like for you to answer, truthfully, the following questi…

A prayer: I asked for strength that I might achieve, He made me weep that I might obey I asked for help that I might do greater things, I was given grace that I might do better things I asked for riches that I might be happy, I was given poverty that I might be wise I asked for power that I might have the praise of man, I was given weakness that I might feel the need of God I asked for all things that I might enjoy life, I was given life that I might enjoy all things I received nothing that I asked for, all that I hoped for, my prayer, was answered. Amin I need to add that this was taken from Dr McGee's speeches. Bless your hearts, …

Oh, totally! The moment someone sneaks a map of Paul's missionary journeys into the back, it's all over. Absolute heresy right there! -
By HappyChristian · Posted
Well, they aren't changing scripture at all. Simply adding some documents. There are plenty of Bibles that have one particular person's notes in them (sometimes more than one person). These notes have never been presented as scripture but simply as notes from whomever. Notes, historical documents. Same/same. I get where you're coming from, but scripture about adding to/subtracting is speaking of changing what scripture says. Not incidentals included in the printing. -

Heresy cannot be judged by understanding the point of view of any group. That kind of reasoning is called relativism. Truth is judged by the written Word of God. You seem to be concerned with the intent of the teacher instead of the teaching itself, which is very difficult to assess. As someone once said, one can be sincere, but sincerely wrong. -
