It's interesting to see the back-and-forth here of those who discuss doctrine, theology, whatever, not least because the opinions are often if not most of the time diametrically opposed, though all have studied the same bible/scriptures and/or graduated with various degrees from seminaries. I was raised Southern Baptist but moved to CBF mainly on the woman-ordination thing. I fear the CBF is heading down the same road as the main-liners while the SBC stands steadily on biblical principles, though the Calvinism (or most of it) is anathema to me. The layman has only the translations of the Bible to study and decide what he believes. I finally did that taking into account the writers, time-frames, canonizing, etc., and using a good concordance(s) and even a Greek NT translated into English. I set about writing my own “unlearned” theology, unencumbered by seminary influences. It turned into a book predicated mostly on the illogical morass of the Abstract of Principles, also (to me) a theological nightmare. I am certain no one in this forum would be interested in the book, found here: , but might perhaps find something thought-provoking in my discussion of the Abstract, which is attached.
