There were no false claims. If you so much as attended an Annual Meeting, you would have heard this sort of thing from the leadership - more accomodation to sodomites, overtures to the environmentalists, pushing for amnesty, and insistence on “diversity” policies - not to mention movement toward the “emerging church”. I have attended Annual Meetings for years, know many leaders, and have seen the trend developing.
Bob Allen’s report is accurate. I have seen and heard these things myself from the leadership. Of course, when you want to change things without losing revenues, you continue to muddy the water by telling the traditionalists what they want to hear most of the time. That way they can ignore or deny what is really happening.
Until a year ago, I never would have thought Mohler would be involved in the things he has been doing. To that extent, I sympathize with you.

I was talking about Dr. Mohler specifically, not “leadership”. Either produce the evidence or refrain from lumping Dr. Mohler in with other leaders who wish to compromise our theological principles, which Dr. Mohler clearly warned us about in those posted I provided. Guilt by association doesn’t equal guilt whatsoever.
You can accuse Dr. Mohler of wearing two faces for the sake of financial gain, but unless you can present us with quotes from Dr. Mohler himself (excluding the misrepresentations and misinformation Allen wrote in his article), you should state a public apology.
Bob Allen presented the charge concerning “Homophobia”. His allegation is not only false, but a weak argument for his case.
Homophobia is the unreasonable fear of homosexuals. In this regard, Dr. Mohler is correct in stating that we, as Christians, are not called to be homophobic. Scripture clearly instructs us on whom we should fear; the Lord, not homosexuals.
Furthermore, if we possess an unreasonable fear of homosexuals, this fear may hinder or obstruct our Christian call to minister to those very individuals, which is the point Dr. Mohler presented.
Nowhere in any of his writings or lectures did he state that we must incorporate the homosexual into church leadership and theology. He is correct in instructing believers to be open to ministering and evangelizing these individuals without compromise. Inviting a homosexual, or any other sinner, to church in order to hear the gospel message is hardly adopting abhorrent teaching.
What are you spirituals beliefs? What are your theological principles?
