Brian Trainer All Fundamentalists are quick to embrace and endorse the significance of the inspiration of the Word of God. We note that the text of Timothy states that “all scripture is given by inspiration [breathed out] of God, and is profitable” (2 Tim. 3:16). We would readily defend each verse from Genesis 1:1 to…
Layton Talbert Second Peter establishes that our salvation is secured by means of a faith that gives us equal standing with the apostles themselves because our faith, like theirs, is not attained but obtained (1:1). Everything necessary for our sanctification has also been provided by God (1:3), accessible to us via priceless promises (1:4). Then…
Al Isaak (This is part 2, part 1 appears here.) The Compromise View While antagonism is not a justifiable view of science, neither is the imaginary harmony of evolutionary “theories” and the first chapter of Genesis. “Theistic evolution,” as it is called, has been popularized by such men as Bernard Ramm, and has found its…

For instance, the Fundamental Baptist Fellowship International, the General Association of Regular Baptist Churches, the Baptist Bible Fellowship International, the World Baptist Fellowship International, the Sword of the…
Pete Steveson Sir Isaac Newton, the renowned scientist of the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, stated: “If I have seen further (than other men), it is by standing on the shoulder’s of Giants,” This is what each person does as he builds his life. He takes the foundation of what has gone before and builds upon…
Joel Arnold Few people know that Ben Franklin, the consummate writer, inventor, and politician, descended from Puritans— his grandfather was a Baptist missionary to the Indians and his father was a dissenter. Franklin himself financially supported a Presbyterian minister and attended a few services. But what ultimately turned him away was his mistaken feeling that…
