Bravo & amen!
Amen, Amen
[The issue facing Southern Baptists is one that will face every person of faith in the United States – do you follow God or the government?]
God bless the Southern Baptist Convention for standing on the Word of God.
Bravo!
Hear, hear. Certainly the religious community must stand athwart this perversion of God’s institution. But there is also a secular interest. If we allow the government to capriciously define morality — in direct contravention of common sense and natural law — then we risk being slaves to whatever whimsy moves the masters on any given day.
I am proud of our leadership at the SBC.
At least they stand in unison claiming the freedom given to us by Christ rather than hugging some elected politicians and proclaiming Communist values that have had as their manifesto to destroy Christianity!
Acts 4:19
But Peter and John replied, “Which is right in God’s eyes: to listen to you, or to him? You be the judges!
Catholic kudos to Dr. Floyd here!
“America – we stand believing that marriage is the uniting of one man and one woman in covenant commitment for a lifetime,” he said in a thundering speech. “We have believed this and do believe this and will continue to believe this as a convention of churches. We stand for biblical and traditional marriage.” Dr. Floyd reminded the gathering of something German theologian Dietrich Bonhoeffer once said: “Silence in the face of evil is itself evil: God will not hold us guiltless. Not to speak is to speak. Not to act is to act.” “This is a Bonhoeffer moment for every pastor in the United States,” Floyd said, warning ministers that the time has come for every minister to stand strongly and clearly – regardless of the cost. “That’s what Bonhoeffer did,” he said.
The pending decision over gay marriage weighed heavily on the minds of many Southern Baptists and messengers will consider a resolution calling on all Christians to stand firm on the biblical definition of marriage. “Resolved, that Southern Baptists recognize that no governing institution has the authority to negate or usurp God’s definition of marriage; and be it further resolved no matter how the Supreme Court rules, the Southern Baptist Convention reaffirms its unwavering commitment to its doctrinal and public beliefs concerning marriage,” the resolution reads in part.
Bravo.
“Choose you this day whom you will serve. But as for me and my house, we will serve the Lord.” Joshua 24:15
We must obey God rather than men.” Acts 5:29
God is a majority.
God Bless Dr. Floyd.
I wish he would have added that the Southern Baptist Churches will not allow membership of sodomites.
Deuteronomy 30:19
This day I call the heavens and the earth as witnesses against you that I have set before you life and death, blessings and curses. Now choose life, so that you and your children may live
Ping for later
AMEN
And like Canada, he will go to jail for his remarks after the Supreme "god" court makes its spiritual decision. And the homosexuals and the politicians who cannot stand up, will cheer the pastors going to jail for "saying" unauthorized speech.
The gay NGO's have pulled that crap with Jerry Falwell, Bob Dornan, Newt Gingrich, and Dick Cheney.
If they do the same thing as they did with Roe versus Wade, forgetting what the 10th and 11th Amendment to the Constitution says, they will be creating an awful mess for this country.
This issue belongs to the States. It has never been yielded to the Federal Government. (10th Amendment)
No State shall sue another State for equity. Just because one State accepts something, it doesn’t mean the other States must accept it. (11th Amendment)
That is where the Roe versus Wade decision went wrong. I wish a few of the founding fathers, like Jefferson, were still alive when those seven clowns did that.
