Ronnie Floyd: One more year as pope of SBC thanks to J.D. Greear

The Baptist Press revealed yesterday that Pastor J.D. Greear of Summit Church, Raleigh-Durham, NC, has nominated current pope president of the Southern Baptist Convention, Ronnie Floyd, to a second term. This comes as no surprise, as Floyd is adored by the neo-evangelical leadership who have now mainstreamed the denomination. One of the problems with this neo-evangelicalism is that many of them are solid bible teachers, and are solid in their doctrinal beliefs, but outside of the pulpit is where they break down. They see no problem associating with, and promoting emergent leaders such as Rick Warren, and they tend to blindly support each other, as I reported before, without any accountability, in order to re-elect and maintain leadership positions within the SBC. This appears to be the same thing here.

Village Apologists: The Economy of Theonomy

There are five primary schools of Christian Apologetics.  Classical Apologetics relies on philosophical arguments to demonstrate God’s existence.  Evidentialist Apologetics relies upon demonstrating the truth of Christianity through the evidence of history and science.  Reformed Epistemology relies upon the reasonableness of “properly basic” indefeasible internal beliefs to prove God’s existence.   Presuppositional Apologetics presupposes the truth … Read more

Pre-Debate Thoughts, Post-Debate

I decided to give some of my pre-debate thoughts, post-debate. I’m sending this to Landon for him to put on the website: Why?
