    Why the weekly Sabbath (Saturday) is the Lord's Day, in the Bible

    Are there any OT examples of the Sabbath being observed prior to the establishment of the Mosaic Covenant? Like, I know God sanctified the Sabbath on the Seventh day or creation, but AFAIK, I don't think people were commanded to keep it until Moses received the 10 Commandments?

    "Reformed" "Reform" in name of church always mean the Pastor is Calvinistic in doctrine?

    Yeah, somehow Calvinists seem to fall into universalism. I think the Unitarian Universalists are descended from Puritans, iirc, and Primitive Baptist Universalists are a thing.

    "Reformed" "Reform" in name of church always mean the Pastor is Calvinistic in doctrine?

    I'd reckon it depends on how conservative said Reformed church is. You'd probably be hard pressed to find an Arminian pastor in a PCA or Reformed Baptist church, but they're probably not that uncommon in the PCUSA or the UCC.

    Complementarianism

    So, I noticed that all of the Holiness denominations I can think of: United Methodists, Wesleyans and Nazarenes, all affirm women's ordination. Are there any Holiness denominations that affirm complementarian views about the ministry?

    Robert F. Kennedy Jr. endorses unrestricted abortion ‘even if it’s full term’

    I was in the same boat. I strongly considered voting for him, but now I can't.

    Is it true that Evangelical Churches (for example, Baptist and Pentecostal) are becoming more conservative?

    Not necessarily. I don't think Calvinism nor Arminianism really tell you anything about how conservative or liberal a denomination is. The UMC is Arminian. The PCUSA is Calvinist. Both are quite liberal. The OPC is Calvinist and Assembly of God are both conservatives despite being polar...

    Is it true that Evangelical Churches (for example, Baptist and Pentecostal) are becoming more conservative?

    Well, I think it depends. I'm Southern Baptist, so I'll be using my denomination as an example. I think it's simultaneously become more conservative and more more moderate. The SBC used to be fairly liberal until the Conservative Resurgence. Now, it takes considervative stances on many...

    Pastor John MacArthur says there is no such thing as mental illness, calls PTSD ‘grief’

    Kinda where I stand. I'm ADHD, and while I do think it's very much a real thing, I am willing to acknowledge the detractors have a point about it being over-diagnosed.

    Would you be more likely to join…

    I'm a complimentarian, so that would make me less likely to join them.

    Revised vs Progressive Dispensationalism

    What are the differences between Revised and Progressive Dispensationalism? I know they don't make as sharp of a contrast between the Church and Israel compared to classical dispensationalism, but how do they differ from each other? From what I understand, the progressive dispies don't deny...

    Anyone else have a unique eschatology?

    I'm presently on the fence between premillennialism and amillennialism. There are things that keep in the premill camp: the fact that Satan is still deceiving the world, and I find it difficult to accept that the circumstances surrounding modern Israel are mere coincidence. However, I will...

    Holiness Pentecostals: Why Does Everyone Hate Them?

    I don't know if I have seen hate towards Holiness Pentecostals in particular, but I know a lot of people dislike Pentecostalism in general.

    What are some unique doctrines that a denomination holds that makes them distinct from others?

    Yeah, I don't think an individual doctrine is enough to distinguish a denomination from the others. Like you said, there are plenty of denominations that affirm believer's baptism. The real difference is over how they combine various doctrines. On the surface, Seventh Day Adventists and...

    Seventh Day Baptists

    What can you tell me about Seventh Day Baptists? I know that they worship on, but that's all I know. Ready To Harvest's video about them cleared up some things for me. I'm a Southern Baptist, but I diverge from the denomination in that I actually agree with the Seventh Day Baptists on Saturday...

    Advent Christian Church

    What can you tell me about the Advent Christian Church, and how does it differ from the SDA? From what I read, the ACC worships on Sunday and have a Congregationalist polity, while the SDA worships on Saturday and have their own structure. Do all Adventists believe in the investigatitive...
