Reply #5: I've given up on the Southern Baptists [View All]

[classof56]

The SBC church I was attending voted to allocate money to help fight a statewide "anti-gay marriage" constitutional amendment on the Nov. ballot. Then the pastor asked the congregation to pony up even more money to fight this evil. The ladies Bible study I had been going to for quite awhile became a "praise God we have such a man of faith leading our country" love-fest. I'm thinking the SBC missions board ought to stick with the mission Christ gave them: "Go into all the world and preach the gospel." And maybe they all should read or read again the book "Baptist Faith and Message" to remind themselves the basis for their beliefs and actions.

Like you, all I can say is, shame on them. Meanwhile, I won't waste my time in an SBC church anytime soon. Pity how this is all unfolding. And very, very sad.
