They might want to drop “Baptist,” too.
Too overtly Christian, doncha think?

Actually, not Christian enough. The bible does not support denominationalism.

It’s way past time that all Baptist denominations drop their man made organizational style of religion and focus on how the Bible says churches ought to be run.

Autonomous.

The official explanation said that they do a lot of work outside of college campuses nowadays. But how does that explain dropping Christ from their name?

Good question. Which needs to be asked of the Y.

Formerly known as the YMCA.

In many cases “Southern Baptist” churches have cancelled Sunday evening services because of the lack of attendance, and they have largely dropped traditional hymns as well in favor of modern “choruses.” I left the Southern Baptists in 2016 and went with an Independent Baptist congregation, which has hymns and Sunday evening services. Most Southern Baptist churches are now called “Baptist” with no modifiers.

It will need to be voted on at an annual convention. I’m guessing it won’t pass.

“So, now “southern” has been added to the list of words that are to be eliminated? The goal is to criminalize non-PC thoughts.”

I guess I need to change my screen name. I wonder if spelling it wrong helps?

Yes! That’s not Southern Baptist I grew up with. That’s Satan slithering into churches that really aren’t church’s at all......just another way to fool the masses.....;(

Such a great disappointment and I’m not even Baptist. Where have all the sane people gone?

I think it was Brother Dave Gardener who said he spoke two languages. “Southern and Ni-—r.”

Now I suppose it is now “S———n and (fill in the blank).”

Or they could call themselves the “Second Baptists” since “First” is already taken.

In other news, the directions of the compass will now be called East, West, North and Black.

“Our Lord Jesus was not a White Southerner but a brown-skinned Middle Eastern refugee,”

No, he wasn't a "white southerner." But where does the "refugee" come in?

They spend three years in Egypt waiting for Herod to take a dirt nap. More than likely, Joseph supported the family with his carpenter's skills or maybe by selling the Magi gifts of gold, frankincense and myrrh.

Racist Egyptians didn't have much of a refugee relief program back in those days.

“Leaders in the Southern Baptist Convention are steadily removing the “Southern” part of their name in an effort that Convention President J.D. Greear said is essential following a summer of Black Lives Matter protests and increased calls for racial justice reform.”

I never saw this coming when they announced their attack on their southern roots.

Soon the leaders of this cult will announce the need to topple the Washington Monument.

Shameful pussies. (Never regretted leaving the SBC church and attending independent Baptist churches instead.)
