In other words, Carter and Clinton are advocating the creation of a New Babtist convention with 'god' created in the image of Carter and Clinton.
=The grand holy doctrine of the control freak.
=The sacred knee pads
=The covenent of the lust in the mind and lustful sacrement of the just-off-the-office-closset-hallway.
=The two minute hate of republicans because republicans equal SATAN!
=discussion group on how to encourage homsoexual behavior in children sponsored by GLSEN and the Southern Poverty Law Insititute.
=Special guest speakers, President of Iran, Barak Husein Obama, David Duke, James Byrd, and the President of Cair.
Carter is theologically confused, but I believe that he is sincere in his devotion. Clinton worships himself. The only time he cares about religion in the slightest is when he thinks it might get him back in the White House.
I guess my sainted grandmother was right all along: hell ain't full yet by any means.
Beware of the false prophets, who come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly are ravenous wolves...So then, you will know them by their fruits...And then I will declare to them,"I never knew you; depart from me, you who practice lawlessness" Matthew 7:15, 20, 23.
The difficulty for the SBC is that the media will advance the sterotype that Carter/Clinton wants advanced.
Blessed are you when men say all manner of evil against you falsely for my name's sake; rejoice and be glad for great is your reward in heaven...for so they persecuted the prophets who were before you.
And for what it's worth, this is as close as I've seen to the wall between church and state tumbling down. These two men may no longer be in places of political authority, but they have easy access to it. To have them starting their own church should have TJ rolling over...
"Former Presidents Jimmy Carter and Bill Clinton have proposed the establishment of a broadly inclusive alternative Baptist movement to counter what they called a negative image of Baptists and to address poverty, the environment and global conflicts."..............
"Leaders from the Southern Baptist Convention were not invited to attend."
What What WHAAAAT!
No joke.
Anyone who is as anti-Jew and anti-Israel as Carter in this modern age (when assisted by un-adulterated Bible translations -- I make very limited and qualified exceptions to those in the past) can't possibly know his Bible very well.
You wrote, "The unity they say they are seeking is found in Christ, not in society-defined social justice."
Beautifully and succinctly written. Thank you.
Worse for you guys is that the clergy of this new McReligion are going to call themselves Baptists, and the AP is soon going to reporting all manner of nutty pronouncements attributed to "Baptist ministers."
I've been too busy the last few days to do anything on FR, managed to pop in for a minute and saw this.
MA List?
What a megalo-maniacal heretics! Both Carter and BeelzeBubba.
While I'm not a baptist, I am a friend of the Baptists.
I agree with you, though. We'll soon be hearing about the Baptist drive to fully include homosexuals.
To call oneself a Christian does not make one a Christian.
Well said. It makes me sick when any politician uses Christianity for political advocacy.
Presumably abortion would not be a sin in this new church as both of its founders are pro choice.
Jimmy and Bubba can be seen as disastrous abominations!
They hate Jews too!!
But I don't think Americans are THAT stupid to ever allow these two boobs to set up a church.
Life long Baptist........ has been visiting a Methodist Church for the past 8 months. And this is part of the reason why..........
The Southern Baptist are the second largest church in America behind Catholics, and that doesn't count the millions of other Baptists.
There are more Southern Baptists in the U.S. than there are Jews in the entire world.
In the media the Southern Baptists almost don't exist, except for an occasional negative story.
When the media needs religious reaction they don't go to the largest Protestant church in this Protestant nation, instead they get a Priest, a Rabbi, maybe some small church leader like a Presbytarian, and now sometimes a Muslim.
