My post to you #71Get your facts straight, then come back here.

My original post #35: Not true, the Baptists are ordaining women and celebrating same sex unions. 60 minutes had a piece about a woman suing her Baptist congregation over this. In 25 years or less the Catholic Church will be the only one standing against gay "marriage."

I made bold underlined and italicized the pertinent sentence. My post 103 in its entirety:

Praise 103.9 (VIA CNN)Years before the nation’s capital legalized same-sex marriage in March, one church in Washington, D.C., opened its doors to gay couples as part of its mission to establish an “inclusive body of Biblical believers.” Pastors Christine and Dennis Wiley performed a 2007 commitment ceremony at their altar. That action split the historically black church, prompting half of the congregation to leave. Yvonne Moore not only left Covenant Baptist, where she had worshipped for nearly 40 years: she filed a lawsuit for her weekly tithes because, as she said, “They didn’t respect the members enough to listen to us.”

Praise 102.1 There were articles on CNN, 60 minutes and numerous other sites. I included links from Christian radio sources.

Second I said "Baptist" not SBC.

Third I seem to recall a split with the TBC a number of years ago over this very issue and IIRC the TBC makes up a rather large portion of the SBC.

Like I said in post #35 Get your fact straight then come back here. And thank you for pinging the prot posse so they could see your error as well.

Deny all you wish. Your response to chajin was clear to all who read it. Obfuscation at this point is rather futile.

But in post #35 you were refuting the statement that "The Protestant denominations that have stuck to sola fide and sola scriptura, such as ..the Southern Baptist Convention.. have not succumbed to the devolution of doctrine or practice ," by asserting, Not true, the Baptists are ordaining women and celebrating same sex unions

Thus you were trying to refute the statement that the SBC has not succumbed to gay "marriage" by failing to make the distinction chajin made, as "Baptist" is a large label.
