In this time, homosexuality was widely regarded as a sin by the overwhelming majority of Christians (and pagans) of the time, yet in modern times, the line is not as clearly drawn in the sand. The Baptist Faith and Message of 2000 clearly prohibits homosexuality as a sin, claiming that “all forms of sexual immorality, including adultery, homosexuality, and pornography” are to be strictly forbidden by those who attach themselves to the church…

schools. I attended the North Platte Baptist School for most of my schooling. I went to the Shenandoah Baptist Academy for one year out of my education. North Platte Baptist School is a church school and Shenandoah Baptist Academy is a Christian school. Many people would think there is no huge difference between these two schools, but there are many. I would like to start out by noting a few key points about the two schools for a better understanding. Shenandoah Baptist Academy was the…

allowing the Westboro baptist church to protest at a military funeral because they followed the rules and law, it is their right to the first amendment, and they shared their beliefs and point of view on a public topic. As harsh as it is protesting at a Military funeral, the Westboro baptist church had every right to speak their mind. They followed the rules and laws by staying 1,000 feet from the funeral like the police had told them. Margie Phelps, the lawyer of the westboro baptist church…

Both of my parents were raised Baptist so obviously raised my younger sister and I Baptist. When I was about the age of ten my parents heard about a new pastor in the town that…

Baptist church boards are made up of a lot of men who do not see women but in traditional ways. Have they not once…

In the past, I attended a Haitian Baptist Church until I went off to college, and have not attended church since. I was invited by a friend to I attend, and decided to go. The question I wanted to answer was, Is a non-denominational church drastically different than a Haitian Baptist church? The service I attended was the 12:30 service at Jubilee Christian Church. Everyone engaged in conversation and, it…

Boyce opened Southern Seminary in 1859, with the help of other southern Baptists, where he served as president. James…
