The 1927 meeting of the Kings Mountain Baptist Association took place at Double Shoals Baptist Church in Shelby, NC. The introductory sermon was delivered by Zeno Wall. The Committee on Women's Work reports that the Women's Missionary Union has shown growth and progress, and is making plans for their fortieth anniversary celebration. The Boiling Springs High School Annual Report indicated that there was a deficit in operating expenses for the first time, and a faculty reorganization. A tentative agreement was made to begin the transition to a junior college.

The Postexilic History Of The Jews From 538-432 B.C., Herman Julius Meyer

Master of Sacred Theology Thesis

The purpose of this thesis is thus to give a short, chronological account of' the history of' the Jews from 538 B.C. to 432 B.C., based not upon any of the preconceived notions of the "Higher Critics" but upon the Bible, the only infallible account that can give us a true picture of events of this period of the Jews.

A Critique Of Goodspeed's Translation Of The Gospels, Arthur F. Fergin

Bachelor of Divinity

In the execution of this treatise the translation of Goodspeed will be studied on the basis of the original Greek text. The critique will thus seek to establish whether the translation is true to the original. Since no other translation has till now successfully supplanted the Authorized Version, the later will be used in establishing the conclusions reached in this thesis. It is necessary to state at the outset, however, that such a procedure will not in all cases be fair to the translation of Goodspeed. Goodspeed has a better equipment in the way of an authoritative text and grammatical …

The Companions Of St. Paul, Hugo W. Wolter

Bachelor of Divinity

In treating a subject of this kind it is natural to ask the question: whom should we consider companions of the Apostle Paul? If we were to consider all those men and women who at various times were his coworkers and friends, we would have a work which would fill volumes. For this reason I will deal with those men only who were his companions and coworkers on his var1ous Journeys. It is not my purpose to treat all of them biographically for large books have been written about some or his companions, Luke, the beloved physician for example. It …

The Early Life Of St. Paul, E F. Kavasch

Bachelor of Divinity

Our Lord, on His departure from this earth, gave the great missionary command, "Go ye therefore and teach all nations." Shortly after, we hear of small established congregations, of one heart and one soul, continuing steadfastly in the apostles’ doctrine and fellowship and in breaking of bread and in prayers. However these conditions were restricted to small circles, for among the majority of the Jews, the gospel had made little headway. There were the Sadducees, the wealthy class of Epicureans, denying resurrection and judgment; there were the Pharisees, zealous for the law it is true, but having an entirely carnal …

The Vactican Council Of 1870, George Dolak

Bachelor of Divinity

Rome ever looks for a complete restoration of its might and power. Although the 19th century marked the dissolution of the papal states (l870 ), and thus put an end to the pope's hopes and aspirations for a complete restoration of temporal power, still we see an increase in the spiritual power which makes up for the diminution in temporal authority. As Dr. Graebner remarks in the above-quoted article, the principles and aims of the popes of the 19th century did not differ from the aims of the medieval popes, but agreed in all respects, since all popes tried to …

The Local Rulers In Palestine (7 B. C. -70 A. D.), Wilbur H. Luecke

Bachelor of Divinity

To be sure we can gain no better history of Jesus' life and the foundations of his church, than the account in our sacred Scriptures. However, it shall be our purpose rather to give the Jewish background at that time. When one reads the sources of this period, it becomes very evident that there is no real Jewish history, but that it is rather a biographical history of the reigns of the individual rulers. The New Testament contains many references to the civil government and it is around these points of contact that we shall group other facts in the …

A Study In The Literature Of The Disciples Of Christ, Alfred T. Degroot

Graduate Thesis Collection

The investigations which follow were undertaken out of a desire to make a definite and practical contribution to the study of the literature of the Disciples of Christ. Especially have we wanted to devise some means of putting the informaiton concerning this distinctive literature into such a form as to make it useable and helpful to the ministers and laymen in the movement in question. This we believe has been accomplished in Part II of the present volume.

Ecclesiastical Union Verses Christian Unity, Eric C. Malte

Bachelor of Divinity

Is it true that the union which is advocated by this coming conference is based on God's ideal? Placing the basis of the proposed union along side of the basis laid down in the Bible, we find that the former is based on man's conception and is in direct conflict with many clear passages of Scripture. Nothing is more emphatically taught and stressed in the Bible then that church-fellowship must always, and in all places, be preceded by unity in the spirit, unity in doctrine. We learn this from such passages as Rom.16,17; Eph. 4,3-6 , 13, and many similar …

A Presentation And Critique Of The Roman, Reformed, And Lutheran Doctrine If The Lord's Supper-, Clarence Peters

Bachelor of Divinity

In his first epistle to Timothy Paul writes: “Now the Spirit speaketh expressly that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits and doctrines of devils; speaking lies in hypocrisy." The Holy Spirit who transmits the divine revelation, was especially active in the early days of the Christian Church. In this case the Spirit had expressly declared that there would be a falling away from the truth in times to come. Men would actually apostatize from the faith, would teach and preach in direct opposition to the sound doctrine of the Gospel. How …

Conscience Its Nature And Function, Richard R. Caemmerer

Bachelor of Divinity

The subject as stated in itself excludes the problem of the origin of conscience, a large field especially in phylogenetic theories (theories of remorse, origin of duty, origin of the good); it excludes the practical aspects and applications of the doctrines of conscience (systems of casuistry; social sphere of conscience; freedom of conscience). The subject has been-further limited, a procedure demanded by considerations of time and space, by a particular viewpoint applied to this discussion. The viewpoint permits formulation in the shape of a statement of the problem, namely: To determine the validity of the term "conscience" as an ethical …

Ecclesiastical Union Verses Christian Unity, Theodore Moeller

Bachelor of Divinity

The tendency of Protestantism to split up into various sects has not infrequently been noted and variously explained. Roman Catholics, especially, make the most of this situation and point with pride to the unity of their church. “If once you permit individual judgment to be pitted against authority all the followers of the revolter will, in turn, claim the same privilege against him. The result is obvious. Even before the revolting church had made its position secure against the church of Rome disunion and separatism had come into its ranks. "This condition has often been deplored and the cry of …
