I’m really disgusted with this!
With ALL the fronts we are fighting, they have to bring up THIS......
Talk about divisive!........Baptist churches on practically every corner in every Southern town will now take sides!
And it won’t be pretty!
Believe me, even though the Civil War ended 151 years ago.....
....down here people still revere their ancestors and Southern traditions.
You’re going to see those flags pop up everywhere.
ScotsIrish Appalachia strongholds exist and they are a stubborn and proud people.
I can say that because I am one!
Why couldn’t this convention have been more concerned with lost souls....
.....instead of stirring dissension.

“For one thing, that is getting into politics. The purpose of the Church is to spread the Gospel, not dabble into politics.”
A church flies a Confederate flag as a political statement. It has nothing to do with the Gospel. A Confederate flag does not draw all men to Christ. This resolution is a call to STOP being political and start focusing on Jesus.
The church does not exist to promote the southern culture of 1860 (or 2016). It exists to proclaim the Good News of forgiveness and changed lives in Jesus. Those things that hinder to Gospel need to be set aside, and the church needs to focus on proclaiming Jesus Christ as Lord - not the Confederacy!
As a result of this, I am no longer a Southern Baptist. I revere my ancestors and these modern day turncoats can go to hell.
