“I have always considered, with Luther and Calvin, that the sum and substance of the gospel lies in that word Substitution,—Christ standing in the stead of man.” - C.H. Spurgeon

Biological maleness is not proper to God, but masculine naming is not a mere nominal convention. It is revelatory.
Just as Fatherhood is a relative attribute of God, so masculinity is a relative attribute of God.
A relative attribute names the relation between creation and God.
Had lunch with one of my @MBTSGlobal Baptist History students today. We discussed:
Baptist catholicity
Evangelism
Church membership
Baptist history’s usefulness for ministry
But mostly we talked about why it’s good to be a Baptist.

“Is God Defined by Sex?”
Today’s topic again shows the Bible’s doctrine of God is not being taught. Instead Mormonism, transgenderism, & gender worship are reviving paganism.
God said, “For I am God, and not a man!” Jesus said, “God is spirit!” He transcends your being, people!
My family uses the Catechism for Boys and Girls.
Question 9 asks, “Who is God?”
The children answer, “God is a Spirit, and has not a body like men.”
It’s not rocket science, nor is it liberal, to affirm that God is Spirit and transcends gender.
Even a child can do it.
Sad to miss ETS this year, but these papers look great. Make sure you attend!

There are consequences to alienating your base, failing to deliver on campaign promises, and burning bridges with political allies.
I pray that this is a wake-up call to the GOP and that it marks the return of common-sense conservatism to the party.
I don’t love the label “Reformed Baptist” for historical reasons, but the answer is simply “no.”
In fact, the confessional documents of the 17th-century Particular Baptists were penned for the express purpose of demonstrating their catholicity.

OTD in 1962, trustees of @MBTS dismissed Old Testament professor Ralph Elliott following a controversy over his book The Message of Genesis.
Published in 1961 by the SBC's Broadman Press, the book challenged traditional interpretations of Genesis, including the historicity of Adam and Eve and the worldwide flood. Elliott's refusal to prevent the book's republication ultimately led to his dismissal.
The controversy became one of the most significant theological disputes in Southern Baptist life during the 1960s and helped prompt the revision of the Baptist Faith and Message in 1963.
In 2013, three Southern Baptist historians revisited the controversy in a panel discussion at Midwestern Seminary, moderated by President Jason Allen.
Read the Baptist Press account of that discussion:

But to all who did receive him, who believed in his name, he gave the right to become children of God.

Friends, it's here. The final set (Vols. 51-63) of C. H. Spurgeon's sermons has been released. After more than two decades out of print, the complete 63 volumes of the New Park Street and Metropolitan Tabernacle Pulpit are now available once again. These sermons provide a library of Puritan, experiential theology, devotional warmth, biblical insight, and homiletical training. @RHB_Books @SpurgeonMBTS

A good word from Wesley as we all go out and vote.

Time to recirculate this, I guess.
Religious Liberty and English Particular Baptists (EPBs), a thread:
In the 1660s/70s, two acts were passed by parliament with the express purpose of suppressing the voices of nonconformists. One was the Corporation Act (61) and the other was the Test Act (73).
