Baptists & Presbyterians Usergroups are now "Self-Joinable"
I was working on the board today and decided that it makes more sense to make the Baptists and Presbyterians groups "self-joinable".
If you desire to join one of these groups then it's in your settings: https://www.puritanboard.com/account/join-user-groups
Join one or another and do not lurk on either forum. I'm going to make it an "honor code" kind of thing but we can check to... -

From what I see, it's clear God had already for-ordained the hardening of Pharoah'S heart. Some Catholics won't like that interpretation, and they might argue that God would never interfear with... -
NC Worship: Temple or Synagogue?
I have done a good bit of searching the Board for discussions on this topic but was not satisfied with the amount I found. I think it would be helpful to take a vote. I tend to think that our worship should be based on both but have heard good argument either way and have not done enough research myself. What is the general consensus? Does it matter? -

Resources on General Revelation
I will be writing a research paper on the topic of general revelation. At this point I do not have a specific direction for the paper in mind.

As always, please 'like' or 'second' those resources already mentioned in the thread that you agree are valuable!

Confessions & Creeds Why A Confession Of Faith?
This article was posted on my blog at [URL="http://www.hebrideanoutpost.com"]www.hebrideanoutpost.com[/URL] “Let us hold fast the confession of our hope without wavering” (Hebrews 10:23) The Presbyterian Church in Scotland has long associated itself with a Confession of Faith as its subordinate standard, so much so that Scottish...
