@5Solas Since you believe in sola scriptura, the better question is: was Calvin Pauline?

@JohnStrick25234 @WilliamWolfe I am amazed (probably shouldn’t be) at how many attack my grammar, and ignore the point I was making about Baptist and biblical being mutually exclusive at times. Deflection.

[David Freeman @DavidCFreeman]

@TheRhetorRick @BRAZILIANMAMI21 @WilliamWolfe My original post pointed out that Baptist and biblical have been mutually exclusive, which SBC has admitted.

[David Freeman @DavidCFreeman]

@ThigpenTiffany @jackngraham I have been a denominational (not SBC) leader for half my 50 years of ministry and it grieves me to see leaders put institution before people and reputation before character as Jack dies in this post.

[David Freeman @DavidCFreeman]

@TheRhetorRick @BRAZILIANMAMI21 @WilliamWolfe How to miss the point of the original post. Deflection.

[David Freeman @DavidCFreeman]

@DavidRhoades @WilliamWolfe A better sample which uses the two words in the same way William did: A biblical baptist Southern Baptist reads his Bible and baptizes new believers. And you are ignoring my point while trying to correct my grammar, not his. Interesting.

[David Freeman @DavidCFreeman]

@BRAZILIANMAMI21 @TheRhetorRick @WilliamWolfe Yes, and William capitalized an adjective, not a noun, but they criticize my grammar, not his.

[David Freeman @DavidCFreeman]

@RingTailed16521 @WilliamWolfe lol. I don’t post for likes. I try to speak truth, which is not determined by popular opinion. And SBC has admitted that previous positions it has taken were not biblical, which affirms my observation, whether you or anyone else likes to hear it.

[David Freeman @DavidCFreeman]

@JeffreyPWiesner Fair enough. Blessings!

[David Freeman @DavidCFreeman]

@TheRhetorRick @WilliamWolfe No, baptist should be used as an adjective. Southern Baptist Convention is a proper noun.

[David Freeman @DavidCFreeman]

@ULookRight @jackngraham Jesus would say that that is .0039% too many. Why don’t you agree with him instead of suggesting it is too small an amount to care? Every one of those children are precious in his sight, the impact of abuse is devastating, and those who perpetrate need to be millstoned, right?

[David Freeman @DavidCFreeman]

@JeffreyPWiesner I was responding to your “but”.

[David Freeman @DavidCFreeman]

@JeffreyPWiesner It is possible to do more than one thing at once. And something doesn’t have to be found in the Bible to be prudent, like rows of chairs/pews and pulpits etc.

[David Freeman @DavidCFreeman]

@claysmith79 Alpha discovered that people in their online courses shared more honestly and cared for one another more deeply faster than people in the in person courses. Some people only have online options so let’s not shut them out of opportunities for fellowship and ministry.

[David Freeman @DavidCFreeman]

@Brent_Hobbs It is not a Baptist distinctive. My non-Baptist denomination gives autonomy to churches within limits, just like SBC. Different limits, same principle. We just don’t brag about it as if it makes us special, like baptists do.

[David Freeman @DavidCFreeman]

@tomascol And, that looks to me to be a prophetic word. And also common sense. Don’t dismiss it lightly.

[David Freeman @DavidCFreeman]

@pastordmack I am amazed how many people underestimate how their personal culture and history impacts how they interpret Scripture and also underestimate the extent to which Paul was speaking to a patriarchal society as he tried to bring freedom without unnecessary offense
