Hear the word of the LORD, ye that tremble at his word; your brethren that hated you, that cast you out for my name's sake, said, Let the LORD be glorified: but he shall appear to your joy, and they shall be ashamed.- Isaiah 66:5 The context of this verse is the Second Coming of Christ where Jews will turn on the remnant in the name of Jehovah.. It's interesting that it's mention that some Jews will be hated and betrayed by their own brethren at this time. Like during the Holocaust when a minority of Jews worked hand in hand with the Nazis in rounding up their own people. Even Dr. Josef Mengele's (aka the Angel of Death) right hand man who actually performed mos…

I'm hoping someone on here might be able to point me in the right direction for an affordable (you can translate that as cheap/free) bus to be used in a church ministry. We have families that are interested in attending, but who lack the means to come on their own for one reason or another. We do have a single 12-passenger van which we use currently to transport folks, but it is insufficient to meet the full need. I'd love to be able to acquire something in the next 2 weeks so that we can use it for VBS. We have 30-40 kids for VBS and most of those need transportation as well. You can imagine how fun that is with a 12-passenger van! I'd prefer something like a 30-40…

I really appreciate it when someone in the intro section actually introduces themselves and is not "ashamed" of their associations. We are not left wondering about who they really are, or what their purpose is in coming. Now, they may still turn out to be a troublemaker.... we all are at times. But nothing looks worse than someone who won't answer a request to give their testimony for instance. You are just left wondering what they are hiding...... Even those who are not IFB but at least are honest enough to say that are appreciated. It is like christian books - why can't people just say where they are from doctrinally by identifying …

Greetings folks! I'm a newbie here but I hope I'll find a warm welcome. My name is Aaron Freeman and I'm a veteran independent Baptist church-planting missionary serving the Lord along the Mexico border in southern Texas (on the US side). In 2018 we'll be celebrating 10 years on the field. As part of this celebration we're planning a special event called a "Border Surge". In essence, we're looking for individuals and groups to join together with us for 8 weeks (or more) of evangelistic outreaches. We don't expect any one person or group to stay all 8 weeks, of course. Rather, we are looking to host 8 separate 1-week mission trips back-to-back. We'd like to have 25…

Prince of Egypt 1 2

Recently, I was asked by a friend of mine if I would recommend that she let her 5 year old daughter watch the Disney animated film, Prince of Egypt. I have never seen the film, but from what I know of Disney films, I said, "Absolutely not." She said she was confused because everyone said it was a good Christian film and that it was biblically accurate. I decided to see what people think is a biblically accurate Disney film and so, tonight, I watched it. I just finished it a few moments ago. I must say that I am not surprised that Hollywood had produced another biblically inaccurate film to add to the scores of others. It does surprise me how many professing C…

Europe signs “the Rome Declaration” in hopes of globalizing a continent. Twenty-Seven European leaders pledge their support of a modernized Europe in hope of a stable future. I was surprised by how many times the article pointed out that Europe has enjoyed sixty years of peace (four times) and Jean-Claude Juncker stated that in relation to past attempts to bring Europe together the recent sixty years is almost like “an eternal peace”. I believe this historical moment is merely a precursor for the world to push for peace in all corners of the globe. Setting a precedent of peace (meaning no war) will soon be the rallying cry of those embracing a global communi…

I have recently read a few articles on global warming and while I somewhat detest the tree hugger mentality, I do hate the idea of cutting down trees, and love wildlife reserves and such. My question is this, are the "scientists" who are proclaiming that in the next 30-50 years the heat of our continent's will rise to nearly unbearable temperatures correct and if they are, do you think this is the preparation for events during the tribulation period concerning the trumpets and vials? I am leaning toward yes in both instances but honestly I would like to read someone who I know can be trusted. Your thoughts please.

Wasn't sure whether to put this here or in the Homesteading forum...I don't guess Bonsai Trees qualifies as self-sufficiency? LOL! Anyway, I've long been interested in Bonsai Trees. I've never bought one though. I'm wondering if anyone has any experience with them, because I think I'm going to consider trying to make one out of a small tree that I've found where I work. Of course, I'll read up on how to do it if I move forward with this, but before I do that...if anyone has any experience, can you tell me if this is even doable with this tree? I've placed a regular Bic Pen next to it for size comparison...

Hi guys! first post.. So im active on a board for fitness and in the non-sense board there is a Christian debate going on. I have posted two replies and im wondering if its worth it. In person you can talk to a person and see them, and you are not arguing vs who is better at googling answers etc. At the same time, just like hearing someing cussing and using Gods name, watching these threads just drive me mental at the ignorance about what "christians believe". What do you think? Boards like this between christians learning and sharpening theology I love... but the debate vs an atheist.. fruitful?

Always makes me laugh when I look at the "people on line" stats and see anonymous users. I wonder what they have to hide. Makes me laugh even more when they post whilst anonymous and think people won't notice that they are not listed by name despite having OBVIOUSLY (by their posts) been online. Does make me less inclined to trust them too. But mostly gives me a chuckle.

Not listed in the actual board guidlines, but the last line of that page says: the guidlines say: This board is owned and operated by Independent, Fundamental, KJV Baptist believers. We are not interested in arguing or debating. This board is set up for IFB to fellowship and uplift our Lord Jesus Christ. ________________________________________________________________________________________________ Note that this forum IS NOT A PLACE FOR ARGUING OR DEBATING, according to the owner of the board. Fellowship and discussion yes, but debating, No. There is a specific place for mo…

I turned 50 this month, my first child is heading to the middle east on deployment this fall, my second child, the cop, is joining the Marines this summer, my third child and her husband are expecting our first grand baby in North Carolina in about 3 weeks and my 4th child graduates high school in May. It's all just too much ... so I went and bought a motorcycle today :). Not ready to strap to that rocking chair just yet. My wife and I had our first date about 27 years ago up here in Alaska, and it was going for a ride in the rain at night on my new motorcycle. When I called her today and said I found one and wanted to buy it, I couldn't even get the words fully out of my…

When I joined this forum a couple of years ago, I was in a bad place where I just needed some fellowship. I have come to really like and respect some of the regulars on here. I'm not leaving the forum, I don't want to leave, but I believe I'm gonna make some changes. For the most part, if I and Alan, No Nicolaitans, Jim_Alaska, DaveW, Pastor Markle and some others wrote out our individual doctrinal beliefs, we would be in agreement on all things important. If we visited each others houses and observed the daily lives of the individual families, observed the music and movies each consumed, and preached to each other for a while, we would have sweet fellowship. I belie…

The Pursuit of God by A. W. Tozer Have you ever read Tozer? If Tozer truley lived what he writes in this book, then he was a modern day David, I don't know, God knows, I know he is inspiring. I've wanted to read this book for more than 30 years. I should have read it long before now. I began reading the book on line but had to have a copy in my hand. I read slowly on line until the copy I ordered arrived. First of all don't look for his Baptist credentials, he has none. In his book, The Pursuit of God, I found a man pouring out his desire to seek God "in spirit and in truth" more so than I ever have. For that matter, I've yet to meet anyone independen…

Our son turned 7 today. Look at the neat snack my wife made for his birthday party at his school... The "hamburger" is a yellow cupcake (the buns), a brownie (the hamburger patty), and the "ketchup, mustard, and lettuce" are icings...and those are actual sesame seeds on top of the "hamburger". The "french fries" are sugar cookies. Each child in his class got one of these trays. I pity the teacher after all of those kids get loaded up on all of that sugar!

So as not to split the discussion in the other thread...... I have asked of many different people, in many different places, and read many books searching for a particular piece of information, yet without success. I wonder if our new friend can supply the answer for me. And let me assure that I am absolutely sincere in this request. Do you have any information, preferably from the man himself about his salvation testimony? I have studied many notable Christians of the past, and one thing I like to include in my notes is a salvation testimony. I have never been able to find Calvin's salvation testimony. If you could point me to a source …

The Bible being the problem, Did I say? I don't understand your translation, I am sorry. -
By Pastor Matt · Posted
Here is what you said and I replied to.... The Bible mentioned if any man add or subtract to the Word of God? I know they’re not changing the Words, but they are adding to the Bible, man-made rules and songs, to it. With your criteria, Paul's Journey is no different than political addiction as they are both placed by men. You said "Adding to the Bible" as being the problem, not political motivation. -

I’m a very busy person helping my wife around the house, I cook sometimes, I clean the dishes plus put them away. I help with the laundry, and dry plus fold the clothes. I wash my wife’s car and pass vacuum inside, Shine wheels. It’s hard work sometimes, if I was only a pastor, I wouldn’t have to do all these things. 🤣 -

Revelation 14:10-11: "The same shall drink of the wine of the wrath of God, which is poured out without mixture into the cup of his indignation; and he shall be tormented with fire and brimstone in the presence of the holy angels, and in the presence of the Lamb: and the smoke of their torment ascendeth up for ever and ever: and they have no rest day nor night, who worship the beast and his image, and whosoever receiveth the mark of his name." Revelation 20:15: "And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire." Revelation 21:8: "And the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second death." -
