Southern Baptist Convention President Fred Luter challenged the group to follow Jesus and be known for evangelism, discipleship and concern for the lost, in his opening address at the February meeting of the SBC Executive Committee in Nashville. Using the familiar question, "What would Jesus do?" Luter based his message on Matthew 9:35-38, strengthening it with biblical accounts of Jesus' interactions with the lost. View the full article

I agree, "Don't ask, don't tell" is a stupid policy. The military's policy should never have changed and should still be that those openly pushing their sinful behavior should be dishonorably discharged. http://www.cnn.com/2010/US/09/09/dont.ask.dont.tell/index.html?hpt=T2 Why does the World's crowd think they have to shove everything sexual down everyone else's throats. I don't go about discussing my intimate relationship with my wife with co-workers, family, friends or any other person. Why do some think they have a constitutional right to do so? If a homosexual wants to server in the military, fine. Just keep your mouth shut about your sexual perversion and d…

'Don't ask, don't tell' repeal: Will there be political fallout? Its now a done deal. Its now a done deal, and our president said, “I couldn’t be prouder,” said Mr. OBama of the repeal of the current “don’t ask don’t tell” policy. The repeal law, he said, "will strengthen our national security and uphold the ideals that our fighting men and women risk their lives to defend." Actually its another step in turning America from God so will it really strengthen our national security? Who can you stand against while God is not on their side. Does God defend those who oppose Him or dies He bring judgment on them? Is America actually as good as many Christians proclaim? Bef…

'Duck Dynasty' star Phil Robertson talks values, family in new book I surely wish he was a Baptist, & not a coC. The coC teach their people to be good people, yet it sure would be nice if they would actually teach the how to be saved, instead of teaching them to count on baptizing & good works.

Nabeel's life used to be all about showing others he was "an ambassador for Islam." The grandson of Muslim missionaries, Nabeel loved to argue in defense of his religion. And then he unexpectedly befriended a Christian who helped lead him to faith in Jesus. Nabeel shared his story during the Baptist State Convention of North Carolina's evangelism conference at Pleasant Garden (N.C.) Baptist Church. The conference theme was "Culture Reach: Understanding, Loving and Relating to Muslims." View the full article

'Move beyond fear': Planned Quran burning is religious stupidity By Leo Frade, September 08, 2010 [Episcopal News Service] How can anyone think that an act of hate and religious fanaticism -- the terrorist attacks of Sept. 11, 2001 -- can somehow be redeemed by an act of intolerance and religious stupidity? I have been trying to decide whether Pastor Terry Jones of the Dove Center in Gainesville, who is planning to burn copies of the Quran on Sept. 11, has any idea of how much harm and persecution his action will bring upon Christians living around the world -- and specifically those living in countries with a majority Muslim population. I have traveled extensively in…

Posted by a person in another forum: regarding Paul talking about 'not permitting a woman to speak': 'Scholars and Theologians have pointed out that verses (which they did not have chapter and verse originally) in 1 Corinthians 14.. 34-35 were originally a gloss written in the margin of 1 Corinthians by a non-Pauline hand but eventually inserted into the text of later manuscripts in different places (after v. 33 in some and after v. 40 in others). And for 1 Timothy 2:12.. The view of a large majority of modern scholars of 1 Timothy is that the epistle was not written by Paul, but dates to after Paul's death and has an unknown author. As a pseudepigraphical work incorrectly attributed to Paul, the verse is often described as deutero-Pauline literature or as a pastoral epistle.' My thoughts are this is coming from skeptical scholars who have no reverence for God's Word..but I don't actually know the counter arguments to this. Your thoughts? -

Yes, the Bible mentions dragons, behemoths, leviathans and unicorns. But, curiously, it never mentions things like jackals, elephants, crocodiles, or the rhinoceros which were once indigenous to the Middle East and even Israel itself. Is that because it really does mention them by other names, like, they were once called dragons, behemoths, leviathans and unicorns? I don't know for sure though I do suspect so. But no one can not honestly say that the Bible mentions dinosaurs. Ancient peoples also drew pictures, made carvings and sculptures of animals with human parts and humans with animal parts, horses with wings, horses with horns in their foreheads, snakes with wings, lions with wings, half man-half horses and all kinds of fanciful stuff, But that doesn't mean those things existed. -

Job and Psalms refer to several dinosaurs after the flood. Man walked with dinosaurs. They were not killed due to any disaster, but were a threat or a source of hunting for man and man caught and killed them over hundreds or thousands of years. There are pictures and drawings of various creatures men killed during the dark ages; therefore men encountered them and fought them even since the time of Christ. All may be killed off now.
