Baptist sects like the SBC support baby-killing through selective abortions. Make all the excuses you want for that.

You've found a one-note tune you want to thrum on until everyone tires of you, to which you think you have won some kind of theological victory. In this case, as usual, you are displaying a black-hole density.

You totally miss the point. SBC does not control its member churches, much less the individual soul liberty that each and every Baptist has and allows others. The Southern Baptist leadership does not dictate on contraception or abortion. Neither does the Vatican, though it wishes otherwise.

You've flunked and we're done here.

On the excuse comment, I am not making any. I pointed out that what one religious organization may state and preach and what her congregants do, their actions, don’t always match. So in the case of red state Bible thumpers they deliver pro life representation at state and federal level, where blue state bastions of Catholicism deliver representation which progresses the culture of death and sodomite “marriage.”

Those are hard facts regardless of a convention letter or canon law. Jesus Christ gave this parable which is relevant to the discussion:

Matthew 21:28-31 NASB

“But what do you think? A man had two sons, and he came to the first and said, ‘Son, go work today in the vineyard.’ And he answered, ‘I will not’; but afterward he regretted it and went. The man came to the second and said the same thing; and he answered, ‘I will, sir’; but he did not go. Which of the two did the will of his father?” They said, “The first.” Jesus said to them, “Truly I say to you that the tax collectors and prostitutes will get into the kingdom of God before you.

So I ask which group is doing the will of God in opposing abortion? The group with written documents saying it is wrong in all cases but votes for democrats; or the group who votes for pro life candidates who ignored the fallible and false position of their convention?

I thought we were done, but . . .

Concurrently on FR:

Dolan confers Seton Award to Pro-abortion Girl Scout CEO

Now we are done . . .

Catholic priests and bishops do not follow their own church requirements for not serving communion to pro-abortion, pro-homosexual marriage congregants, be they lay parishioners of in the limelight politicians, and are more than happy to count them as members when wanting to brag about 1.2 billion strong.

Make all the excuses you want for that.

It's the epitome of hypocrisy.
