Wilchbla

I agree with the OP. Balaam learned from the ass so I imagine we could learn from preachers who aren't IFB.

The "blood comes from the father" teaching was started, I believe, by Martin DeHann Sr. who was a medical doctor. At that time it was the common belief in the medical community that the blood only came from the father.

I think the reference to 'Jesus cookie' was referring to the wafer used in the Catholic mass - which they believe and teach is the actual body of Christ being consumed as part of his 're-sacrifice' in the 'perpetual offering of the mass.' The mass is NOT the same as communion - it is a blasphemous corruption of the Lord's supper that spits in the face of His once-for-all offering of Himself on the cross. Probably that's what Wilchbla was thinking about...?

I see that Harold Camping is at it again. Apparently the world is going to end for sure this time on Friday.

I think the best option for a biblical education is a local Bible institute. I have friends that went to some of the big Bible colleges and they say that they are over-priced. Someone could leave there in a lot of debt. Same friends say that you learn more actual Bible doctrine by going to a local Bible institute.

I went to a local Bible institute and I'm not saying I'm smarter than anyone else, but I was able to work a job during the day and go to class at night and left the school with no debt. It cost $300 a semester, not the thousands of dollars that the big schools cost.

I graduated Bible school, bought my first house, and married my wife all within the same two week period. I don't think that could have happened if I was going to a big school.

Everyone is different and God leads people in different directions, but I think the best choice is a local Bible Institute if there's one around. We have people come from all over the country to go to ours.

Christmas to me is a time to get together with family and it's a day full of good memories. Not once have I worshipped Saturn, thrown a yule log under a tree to receive gifts from Woden or swallowed a "Jesus cookie" (i.e. Eucharist) on that day nor do I intend to. It's also a good time to talk to people about the Lord Jesus Christ who at other times of the year might not be open to it.

I once attended a church that said you couldn't be a Christian if you drove an automatic transmission equipped car. Another church said if a woman ever cut her hair, she wasn't saved. Several taught (especially during the hippie years) that if a guy's hair touched his ears, he was going to hell. A church in the Chicago area once split into 2 camps, and finally into 2 separate buildings, over whether Adam and Eve had navels (belly buttons) or not. One church taught unless your Bible was black, it wasn't proper and the owner was in sin. It goes on and on.
Maybe people should be more concerned with addressing and obeying what the Bible says, verbatim, rather than making up a bunch of man made doctrine.
At least the woman was honest about her attachment to trousers, rather than hiding it. Personally, I am thankful for that. I also think it seems like "a small price to pay" to serve, but if someone is going to be part of an organization, whether it be a church or business or anything else, the rules and demands should be followed. If it is against the Bible, go somewhere else.
Priorities change. When you are hungry, eating is usaually a priority. If you are trying to lose weight, maybe not eating is a priority. I hope she doesn't regret her decision later.

So unemployed Americans get automatically hired for 40 grand each while I've been working away making 26 grand (taking home around 15) without any raise the last three years? Maybe I should quit my job if this happens.

Romney is not a conservative and I'm doubting that Perry is either. I like Cain the best but I doubt he'll get the nomination because too many within the Republican Party would be against him. In any case I expect Obama to be President for another four plus years.

And Gents, don't call your wife your "old lady". Makes me cringe when I hear guys say that. That's your sweetheart, not your old lady.

I never have any ladies hit on me and I'm not married. A lot of this has to do with the fact that I hardly ever go anyplace and I work nights primarily alone. In my life I've probably have had more men hit on me then women. When I was younger this was very disconcerting to me and made me think "what's up?" until I found out that this is common for a lot of men. Even my brother said this was a common experience for him and he even had his doctor come on to him once and the doctor claimed to be a Christian and was a deacon of his Baptist church at one time. I think married men actually get flirted with by women more than unmarried men do.

If you start talking about God or about your spouse they usually will get the message and leave you alone.

I don't know about most faithful, but I know the Reformed Baptist church closest to this area is the most soul winning church around. They have folks out soul winning constantly and the people from that church pass out tracts everywhere. Their church has grown well too with so many coming to Christ in that area.

I'll tell you where a lot of churches were during that repeal. They were busy anointing sodomite pastors and pastorettes.

Those on earth cannot be "in Christ" or part of the body of Christ (i.e. the church) or you would have a split church. God is done dealing with the church at the rapture.

Congrats Tigers fans for your team defeating the Evil Empire (aka New York Yankees). I'm so glad.

Well, at least she was honest. I'm not sure why she chewed us out though. This forum is one of the more friendlier forums. Try going over to Fighting Fundamentalist Forum and you'll see nasty people although most of the nasty people over there are NOT IFB.

So you agree with my first point, which was: "Firstly, evolutionists claim that speciation happens over many many more generations than people have been breeding dogs."

Take the Liger for instance. In the wild tigers and lions don't mate. Even in captivity it's rare and in some of those rare cases zookeepers "helped" the process artificially in order to get a Liger. Likely as not, without man's interference, the tiger and lion would never mate, never bring about a variety known as the Liger. In the same way, without man's interference, it's likey the weiner dog would have never come about.

The sodomites are turning everyone into homosexuals.

Timothy 1:15- Unto the pure all things are pure: but unto them that are defiled and unbelieving is nothing pure; but even their mind and conscience is defiled.
I remember a few years back when I was browsing the magazine section at Barnes and Nobles there was a magazine for gays (not a porn but a lifestyle magazine) that I took a look at to see what they had to say. An article in there claimed that George Washington and Alexander Hamilton were both gay and of course Jesus most likely was gay also. I can't remember the reasons they gave for their conclusions but this just proved what Paul said in I Timothy 1:15. In these peoples minds anyone who opposes the gay lifestyle, never had kids or was never married (or happily married) is secretly gay themselves.

That statement makes him the infidel. The Scriptures are clear that the sword of justice is for government and not the churches.

Secondly, dog breeders have been attempting to produce...dogs. So even if a cat could come from a dog, we wouldn't expect dog breeders to come up with one.

The emphasis is on the husband loving their wife and the wife respecting their husband because this tends to be the problem within a marriage and what each sex desires the most in a relationship. This doesn't mean that a husband doesn't have to respect his wife or the wife doesn't have to love him.

I just checked up on the status of this pastor in Iran and apparently the Iranian government is now saying he is being put to death for rape and extortion although the court transcript only makes mention of apostasy. Also, I guess they haven't put him to death yet. Most likely they'll wait awhile until everyone forgets about it then they chop his head off.

Whoever changes his Islamic religion, kill him. Hadith- Sahih Al-Bukhari (9:57)

They're gonna tear Cain apart when it comes to gays and Muslims

Do infants who die before trusting Christ go to heaven?

Hmmmm....

Samaria shall become desolate; for she hath rebelled against her God: they shall fall by the sword: their infants shall be dashed in pieces, and their women with child shall be ripped up. (Ho 13:16)

In God's judgment above, He declared that the infants would be 'dashed into pieces.'

Why dash the infants to pieces if they are innocent? Makes one wonder.

Are infants capable of trusting Christ? I believe it is possible... if they are brought up in the right environment; i.e., Church, godly home, etc..

Psalm 22 has an interesting statement:

But thou art he that took me out of the womb: thou didst make me hope when I was upon my mother's breasts. (Ps 22:9)

I am not totally convinced that infants who die all go to heaven. I believe there is evidence that they too, like us, have an opportunity to trust Christ and be saved.
