“As a So. Baptist, I am very unhappy with the “moderate” leadership!”
Not screaming at the world, eg unbelievers, to act like something they are not, doesn’t make you moderate or liberal.
Frankly I find that Some Southern Baptist leaders are more concerned with making the world behave like Christians, when as unbelievers they are not capable of such in the first place, to be asinine.
If you want people to live and behave like Christians, they must first become Christians and be discipled. Just telling them to stop acting like the sinners they are, don’t cut it. And They (the sinners) see through the hypocrisy of such.
The world cannot live like Christ, until they know him. If all your doing is telling them to “stop it” and “behave” you are doing them the biggest disservice possible.
Very well said. It's a shame that so many lay Christians seem unable to grasp this concept. Unsaved people will do unsaved things, to expect and demand otherwise is folly.
