A BAPTIST CATECHISMADAPTED BY JOHN PIPER2A CATECHISM ?WHAT IS A CATECHISM ?In 1 Corinthians 14:19 Paul says, In the church I would rather speak five words with my mind, in order to instruct others, than ten thousand words in a tongue. In Galatians 6:6 he says, Let him who is taught the word share all good things with him who teaches. Acts 18:25 says that Apollos has been instructed in the way of the Lord. In each of these verses the Greek word for instruct or teach is katecheo. From this word we get our English word catechize. It simply means to teach biblical truth in an orderly way. Generally this is done with questions and answers accompanied by biblical support and IS THE HISTORY OF THIS CATECHISM ?This is a slightly revised version of The BAPTIST CATECHISM first put forth by Baptists in 1689 in Great Britain. It was adopted by the Philadelphia BAPTIST Association in 1742. It is patterned on the well-known reformed Westminster CATECHISM .
46:10; Psalm 115:3; Amos 3:6. Comment: You might shorten it to: “God’s decrees are his own plans for history. And they always happen.” His purpose for the world is eternal because there never was a time when he didn’t know what he was going to do. His purpose accords with the counsel of his will--that is he did not consult anyone else.
