I go to a semi mega church. There are plenty of mega churches to make the complaint about but the Village and Prestonwood aren’t them.

Gays weren’t criminalized. What I meant is the church saying “eww those people are icky and terrible and we don’t want anything to do with them” without being willing to love on them despite their sin is the same approach. The church will take a long time to make up for treating homosexuals like lepers and not ministering to them.
I see now. Problem is that the church cant let them bring their behavior into it. it's like letting an alcoholic sit their drinking or a hooker to work tricks. Gays want to continue being gay as an acceptable Christian act, and it's not.
If a gay person wants to move past their sinful behavior then good, but it doesnt hurt the church if they want to continue doing it. It hurts them. Church cant be a "beacon" if it over looks it.

His position is correct, I just don't understand the point he is trying to make unless it is completely out of context.
If he was talking about the current legislation in some states he is out of line bringing it up because none of the laws call for prosecution of the mother.

The term "Southern Baptist" doesn't carry nearly the weight and moral legitimacy it did a quarter century ago
quote:what has greear said to make you think this?
including the current SBC president) trying their best to turn it into the Southern Methodist Convention.
quote:this is ridiculous. who are "the rest"? quote what they said. and the vast majority of sbc churches in the convention are less than 200 people.
The rest are trying to unbrand it and turn it into the Southern Evangelical Megachurch Convention
quote:based on your commets, i don't think you made a well informed decision
that's coming from someone who bailed on it after spending 30+ years as an observant, tithing, Southern Baptist.

Ehh... SBC is more than a once a year meeting. There’s Lottie Moon drives, Missionaries have to go through the SBC for good funding (if there’s something the SBC does right it’s missions giving) votes throughout the year on policy, etc. it definitely does not have the same power over its churches that the Catholic Church does. That being said there is a big push for SJW causes coming from leadership (looking at you Russel Moore)

Texas, his state, had one going thru that did have it in it.
