Any discussion on the use of specific words and phrases presumes a prior agreement on the use of a specific translation. Are we using the vocabulary of the 1769 KJV, or something more recent? Maybe we should be conversing amongst ourselves in Greek and Hebrew if we want to be more rigorously scriptu...

I always bite my tongue when people offer up praise to Luther and Calvin... I wait to see just what it is they are praising before inflicting personal injury. With those two (plus Hus as previously mentioned, and Zwingli and others of the Reformers as well) there are plenty of things they didn't ge...

Southerner, you might enjoy this book: The Anabaptists and Contemporary Baptists: Restoring New Testament Christianity There was a discussion of this on MD, the loss of which is lamented.
