Not to be disagreeable, but Baptist history can be traced back to the time of Christ, much earlier than the 1600's Check out this chart by J.M. Carroll from his book "The Trail Of Blood." THE TRAIL OF BLOOD CHART by J. M. Carroll EXPLANATION OF THE CHART By DR. J. M. CARROLL ILLUSTRATING the...

Thank you, all of the responses thus-far have been encouraging and up-lifting. I will continue to monitor further responses and look forward to having a more informed response for my nephew's concerns.

Thank you for you reply. I guess to be more specific, My nephew has used James 1: 27 to say that if the church is not performing what is accepted as pure religion in the afore mentioned passage then that church is not correctly following God's design and thusly you should avoid it. I tend to...

What is the difference between religion and the church? I have a nephew who is struggling with finding a good church because he see's religion as hypocritical, and for the most part worldly. He uses James 1:27 as his go to verse to judge the soundness of a church. I'm not sure the context would...

Thanks, I have been gone to church camp for the past few days and was not aware he had been banned.

Sir, No disrespect indented but, How dare you! You do not or could not know my heart. You make cherry-picked accusations not knowing me at all. Nowhere in my previous post have I given you reason to attack my character. I do not mind constructive criticism when it is founded and I am willing to...

Why do you assume that those of us who rightly divide the word of God and see a clear distinction between the Old Testament and the New Testament are somehow not giving? What makes you think that we are not giving our lives for the cause of Christ? What leads you to believe that we haven't...

OK, then start growing crops and grain and give 10% of all your agricultural increase, and you will be correctly tithing, that's what tithing was all about you know. However, if you want to offer monetary offerings then by all means give as much as you want, just understand its not TITHING...

I found this video very helpful explaining how tithing does not apply to the church. It is very visual, hope it helps.

Sorry about the spelling error in my previous post. I believe I will leave this subject alone. I am perplexed and confounded that areas of scripture where no interpretation is needed how truth can be so misconstrued. I am satisfied to just read God's word and believe it for what it says. I...

What you are saying is that you don't except what you don't like, if you excepted scripture as infallible, inerrant and inspired of God, you would have no problem submitting to the Apostle Paul's teaching. You don't agree with Paul nor do you agree with God, you have a problem with the order set...

Wow! Why not just except Paul's authority on this matter as pertaining to the church? His teaching should be sufficient, and excepted. I believe as pertaining to 1 Corinthians 14:35 where Paul is referring back to the law as you pointed out in Genesis 3:16 clearly shows the order of authority...

I'm not sure how you are missing the complete picture, I did provide you with a response which explains God's order and reason for that order. If you are looking for an Old Testament scripture designating men to the office of the Priest, you might read: (Exodus 28:1) "And take thou unto thee...

I agree that there were women in the Bible who served in ways that seem to contradict the interpretation of 1 Tim. 2:11-12. Miriam, Deborah, Huldah, Priscilla, and Phoebe are the most commonly given examples as you mentioned. Ultimately, Miriam, Deborah, and Huldah are meaningless to the issue...

I'm not sure about the book of Speculations and what it says, but 1 Corinthians 14:34- 35 is crystal clear on the matter. You have to twist and contort the plain, clear writings of Paul to the Corinthians concerning teaching and preaching in the church to conclude otherwise. Anyone without an...

Just a simple question, however, maybe not a simple answer. Can a true Christian consciously vote democrat and be square with God, considering all the immoral and unscriptural viewpoints that the modern day democrats attach themselves to. For example, how can a Christian pull the lever for a...
