My personal hope is for a split. Prof. Tom Oden has recently penned a brilliant piece that can be found on the Good News website that demonstrates our property belongs to those who uphold our traditional, CONSTITUTIONAL Articles of Religion and NOT to those who are in leadership.

The same argument was presented in a number of test cases and has so far been victorious in civil law interpretations.

Well, Baptists never disapprove of those with a basically sound Gospel understanding and testimony when they are forced to separate themselves from those who wish to depart from scriptural teachings. Far from it.

This recalls the same sort of efforts that being pursued by conservative Presbyterians to hold onto their church properties and separate from those who are apostate. Or the same efforts among some Episcopalians.

It does a Baptist good to see it in action. It's not been practiced enough in recent decades or so many once-sound Protestant churches wouldn't be facing these problems now.

Maybe it's too soon to give up on the Methodists. But I still favor the Free Methodists over you UMC Methodists. The Free Methodists don't charge for seating and I'm cheap.

At any rate, I wish orthodox scripturally obedient Christians in the Methodist church well and hope they will still prevail over the radicals.

Hey 43, nice to see you back on the sodomy threads, I recently tendered my resignation but maybe I’ll stick around a bit longer if you’re here. It seems that the powers to be are giving deference to the perversionists.

Can you pray for schism for me? I’m pushing my kid trough confirmation in hopes that my Anglicans wake up and smell the coffee. What will his church’s legacy bring him?

My comments only pertain to the pathology that the APA has politically sanctioned; paraphilic disorder is complex and certainly suicide is a real consequence of this behavior.

Some of that mountain music that's so popular is playing, making the moment even more surreal as a Southern voice sings, "Keep on the sunny side of life"

Let us trust in our Savior always
To keep us every one in His care

Sad how convoluted the mind can bend the words of “go, and sin no more.”
