Anytime a conservative parrots the language and insults of the left, an innocent doggy dies.

Stop using the language of the people who are trying to destroy the United States for god sake!

I too attended an Independent Baptist Church in the 80’s. It was nothing like this article depicts. The Southern Baptist Church was becoming very liberal while the Independent Baptist were trying to remain Godly. But that was the problem, religion is vain, true worship is in the heart, not dress and rules. People even today still don’t get it. God is Holy and that means we cannot approach to worship without being washed in the blood of Christ. To know Christ Jesus is life changing.

Laodicea on steroids!

Wokeism is a new gospel, with a new deadly sin, a new guilt, a new self-flagellation, new high priests.

Minus the grace, love, mercy, cross, blood, forgiveness and eternal life.

Idon’t think this guy understands either christianity or critical race theory—which is what that woke are about. critical race theory just gives the intellectual framework for a black racist ideology.

Matthew 5
17 Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfil.

18 For verily I say unto you, Till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law, till all be fulfilled.

19 Whosoever therefore shall break one of these least commandments, and shall teach men so, he shall be called the least in the kingdom of heaven: but whosoever shall do and teach them, the same shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven.

20 For I say unto you, That except your righteousness shall exceed the righteousness of the scribes and Pharisees, ye shall in no case enter into the kingdom of heaven

[daniel1212]

At the independent, fundamentalist Baptist church I grew up attending in the 1980s, legalism was a staple, and the ‘rules’ were seemingly endless. Skirts (or something called ‘culottes’) for women and girls, long pants only for men and boys, and dresses and ties on Sunday morning. Good Christians didn’t dance or go to Hollywood movies. They didn’t smoke, cuss, or drink or hang around with those who did. Music wasn’t allowed unless it was Christian, and regardless of the lyrics, it wasn’t ‘Christian’ if it had drums, an upbeat tempo, or was written after 1895 (or thereabouts). And the “thou shalts” were just as onerous as the “thou shalt nots.” Regular church attendance (three times a week), soul-winning, tithing (at least 10% of ‘gross’ income because we need a new auditorium and hey, you can’t outgive God!), and daily Bible study and prayer were all expected, at a minimum. Aside from the rules and requirements, the belief system one had to adhere to in order to be a ‘good Christian’ was, shall we say, specific. From a six-day creation 6,000 or so years ago to the pre-tribulation Rapture of the Church to the King James Bible laying it all out in the very words of God himself, my particular religious neck of the woods had it ALL figured out, and we weren’t shy about patting ourselves on the back about it. Rule-making, of course, isn’t just for fundamentalist Baptists. To the Pharisees, the Puritans, and countless other sects, cults, and religions throughout history to the present day, the establishment of such rules, requirements, and belief systems are typically meant to help bring the follower closer to the Creator.

You are much arguing like a liberal.

Fundamentalist Christianity And Fundamentalist Wokeism Are Two Sides Of The Same Coin

Really?
