The U.S. Southern Baptist Convention adopted a resolution on Tuesday repudiating the Confederate battle flag as an emblem of slavery, marking the latest bid for racial reconciliation by America’s largest Protestant denomination.

Yeah stop bein wusses. That history occurred long in a time when people were so busy they didn’t have time to sit around and worry about what to whine about next or attention or post stupid Facebook posts from 100 different angles. Damn we live in an age of whiney baby wusses.
They should be more concerned with souls than flags.
While I do not believe Jesus would be an advocate for slavery today, I do believe that the presence of the passages are sufficient enough that the Southern Baptist Convention should have kept its nose out of this fight.
It would be merely a small step over thin line for Obama to denounce all Christians as being a "radical extremist" group supporting slavery based on their own teachings.
“Damn we live in an age of whiney baby wusses.”
Odd how man’s mind wanders to such things once the basic needs of food, clothing and shelter are replaced with the need for entertainment, luxury and purpose.
If we don't get rid of "leaders" like BHO and HRC we'll soon have to be worrying about basic necessisities Venezuelan style.

What’s the Southern Baptist Convention’s position on Joel Osteen, who heads the largest church in America—Lakewood church—and who preaches a heresy: the prosperity gospel?
Oh yea nothing, because half the churches in the Souther Baptist Convention teach the prosperity gospel.
This Confederate flag thing is another example of VIRTUE SIGNALING. It’s probably a sign that the SBC (at least at the upper ranks) has been infiltrated by SJWs (social justice warriors). A bad sign.

The SBC has for years been infiltrated with feel good liberals. Not new.
One purpose of those passages, I think, is that Jesus was showing he was a spiritual warrior; not a social justice warrior. So much of organized religion has tossed the spiritual warrior overboard that the SJW is all they have left. Sadly, the SBC has shown they’ve joined that crowd with this action.
I wonder how David Platt voted on this issue?
Makes for an interesting argument against “universal basic income”.
And I know two baptist fifteen year olds in Minnesota who have the confederate flag and General Lee as wall paper on their cell phones, on t-shirts and posters. They are running to that symbol because they see it as representing freedom from an oppressive government.
Gotta love homeschooling for preventing ignorance and indoctrination.
Embracing slander for worldly comfort. A lamp is flickering low right now.
Their leadership appears willing to worship the images that move and speak
(i.e. deceiving MSM and corrupt politicians using PC garbage spewing 7x24 from that alter in every living room in America called a television or flat-screen)
There was a time not so long ago that Southern Baptists stood up lockstep against such evil,
Take away history and you are doomed to repeat it. The world criticizes ISIS for destroying historical sites yet our politicians and organizations do likewise and we sit quietly. We are truly turning into sheeple.
Might as well just submit to Islam, considering what pathetic, spineless wusses they’ve obviously become.
I wouldn’t have expected this of them several years back. But it does indeed seem that all of America has become a nation of cowering wimps. If any foreign adversaries are looking at us now, we’ve certainly been telegraphing that as a nation we’re a weak house of cards, ready to plowed under by the slightest breeze.
Declining membership going on 10 years straight, they must be trying to appeal to liberals...
