@TheRhetorRick Great take on a thorny issue, as always. I’ve been thinking in a similar pattern for months, and it’s great to see it articulated well. A willingness to actually shepherd and be shepherded is key, because this isn’t going away, no matter how many memorials are passed.

We’re like 3% of modern Christianity, you’ll be fine

In baseball, nobody cares how hard you throw ball four. Theres a lesson somewhere in that for the SBC.

@DPGBehler Derrik Behler critiquing RC Sproul as “clueless” is roughly equivalent to me having concerns about Tiger Woods’ golf swing.

Can we as Christians stop trying to help people who want to rebuild the temple in Israel? I mean how much more anti-Christ can you get than help people reinstitute the OT sacrificial system which Christ died to abolish/fulfill? So many churches raise money for this cause, I don’t get it. If this isn't blasphemy to God, I don't know what is. The book of Hebrews deals directly with this issue.

The Audacity of Calling God “Father”

If I call God “God” I speak truthfully.
If I call God “Lord” I speak submissively.
If I call God “King” I speak servilely.

But if I dare to call God “my Father,” I speak with a brassy audacity, chutzpah, that is shockingly familiar and intimate. So it seems anyway.

You dare to call the Master of the Universe “Father”?
You dare to call the One who controls heaven and hell “Father”?
You call the Omnipotent one “Father”?

Who do you think you are?

It is difficult to imagine a more audacious act than to stand before the Creator of the world and to name him “Father.” And mean it. And not only to mean it, but to act and speak as a child acts and speaks before a loving and doting Dad.

It’s shocking. It’s exhilarating.
And it’s beautiful beyond words.

But here’s a secret: it’s not really chutzpah. It’s not some brassy boldness that we work ourselves into, nor it is gained by swallowing a bottle of liquid spiritual courage, as it were.

To call God “Father” is simply to live in the space which Jesus created. To move from residing far from God as his enemy; or on the other side of town from him as a stranger; or down the street as an acquaintance; or in an adjoining house as a servant; and to move into our own bedroom as a child in his family. To wake up in the morning and see our Father sipping a cup of coffee and saying, “Good morning, my child,” as we respond, “Good morning, Father.”

You see, when we live in this house, when we move into the room built by Jesus, we inhabit the home not merely of a Master or Lord or King, but the one who’s given us his name and made us his own, now and forever.

“Our Father”: two of the most amazing words ever uttered.

@ScottAniol The Church decided it was bad for it to influence culture or politics. A new, evil religion arose that didn't have this conviction. This minority religion demanded culture and politics acquiesce to it which they did. The entire western world is now shaped by that religion.

Good thread. Always nice to see due diligence.

King Josiah reading Deuteronomy for the first time:

“Well I should execute the priests of Baal, but anabaptist ding dongs say I’m doomed to fail no matter what so I better not.”

MDivs do not confer omnicompetence.

[Dale Partridge @dalepartridge]

When a wife advances into theological positions (e.g., Calvinism, paedobaptism, postmillennialism, etc.) without the awareness or support of her husband, she puts herself in a precarious position.

She pits her conscience and newfound biblical convictions against her husband’s spiritual authority in their marriage. The husband has to either follow his wife into this new doctrine (which is not the ideal order for theological development in a home) or shepherd her back to the position he believes is sound to maintain oneness in their marriage.

A better path is for ladies to present what they are learning and discuss their findings with their spiritual head (their husband) and work together in love and submission to arrive at a sound conclusion.
