I left the Methodist Church where we are members because I didn’t feel comfortable disagreeing. There was no diversity of thought. If you disagreed, they recommended you leave the church or implied you were trouble.

I grew up in the Culture of the SBC, particularly the Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary Culture in Fort Worth. Many of the students worked for my dad. Starting in the 80's, I noticed a lot of carelessness and borderline heresy in these student workers. One absolutely LOVED the lesbian kiss in The Color Purple movie. She didn't last long as an employee.

Since then you will probably be hard pressed to find a SWBTS recent grad who adheres to biblical creationism. Most are as liberal as any Presbyterian seminary grad.

"This leadership group is a cooperative collaboration on missionaries, publications etc."

You control the Seminary, you control the teachings, you control the Abstract of Principles (or disaffirm same), you control the Bible-based Nouthetic Counseling (or you allow secular psychiatry to creep in), you tell the woke crowd who tried to shake SBC down in 2018 to get lost (or maybe next time you give in).

Fortunately, that's where Mohler is right now, large and in charge. But who is to say Moore doesn't end up with Mohler's presidency?

Moore has already cr@pped on the SBC on the way out. He calls them a group of rapists and white supremacists. I don't think he'd stand a chance. Or at least I hope not.

If they don’t change soon many churches will leave the SBC because it went along with the other denominations who went liberal. I had a debate with a relative who is a female and is a deacon in he long ago woke baptist church. She was upset with her pastor on Facebook talking about leaving beer and pizza for Santa, celebrating drinking his first beer when the town went wet and going anti-cop on our small town police force because that’s what BLM demands. This church already has women deacons, pastors, gay marriage and in church leadership positions.

My response to her was why are you upset with his latest when everything else has been given a pass, there is no camel’s nose under the tent, the whole camel and his family are sitting in the center ring. Why be concerned about anything at this point everything is acceptable so you have a social club more than a church. She didn’t like it but expressed interest in my small but growing church, but was upset they didn’t allow women pastors or deacons but was genuinely surprised we had women on the board of directors, Sunday school directors and even a choir leader. I think her old time religion parents and the Spirit are working on her to find a new home.
