The same thing that's happened to Catholics, inequity iniquity.
They've made God to fit their image...

The president of the Southern Baptist Convention, J.D. Greear, has blasted leaders and pastors who’ve made “closet racists” and “neo-Confederates” feel more at home in their churches than people of color.
His criticism came during an address at the Southern Baptist Convention’s Executive Committee meeting on Monday.
“Let me state this very clearly, as clearly as I can, critical race theory is an important discussion and I am all for, as I hope you would be, robust theological discussion about it,” Greear said. “For something as important as what biblical justice looks like in the world today, we need careful, robust, Bibles open, on our knees discussion. But we should mourn when closet racists and neo-Confederates feel more at home in our churches than do many of our people of color.”
Greear also compared Southern Baptist Convention leaders to the Pharisees in their opposition to Critical Race Theory, stating that although they believe “correct doctrine,” they are closing their hearts to the full Gospel message by attacking CRT.
“The Pharisees who resisted Jesus, we know more than any other group in the world had correct doctrine. It was their spirit that Jesus said disqualified them from the Kingdom of God. They weren’t content with what the Bible said. For example, they weren’t content with how exactly the Bible said it, so they created what has come to be known as a hedge about the law, conflating the traditions of men, Jesus said, with the commands of the law,” he said.

They can’t get a new leader fast enough.
Yeah. Funny thing about that. They're all for discussion until somebody other than themselves speak.

Denouncing the convention's own pastors and members should really help the church to grow.
What the hell has happened to the Southern Baptists in the last 20 years?
The SBC really went to crap fast.
God is the same yesterday, today, and tomorrow.
Wow
SBC is now a hate crime “church”

He left out “white supremacists” and “Nazis”, the dimwit.
Ask him how many baptisms the SBC is doing. How is new membership going?
“When it comes to skin color, the Bible is consistently silent. The color of the skin is not as important to God as the condition of the heart. The gospel is universal good news. Black people, white people, and every shade in between are invited to come to Christ for salvation. By the grace of God we can take our eyes off of the skin and focus on the soul”

Critical race theory is marxism and Marxism is antithetical to anything Christian.
I’ve had my disagreements in the past with the IFB’s. This garbage is far worse than any disagreement I have with the IFB’s. Sorry Ed Young, but I have to shake my foot of the SBC.
Critical Race Theory is communist bullshit just like gender identity theory. The good minister can blow it out his ass while his parishioners turn into trannies and he and they can all go to hell.
Therefore no differences of opinion are allowed. Cheers for diversity!
“What the hell has happened to the Southern Baptists in the last 20 years?”
They jumped the shark.
J.D. Greear has been snookered by Critical Race Theory that was created so it could seduce dupes like him. It uses the common human emotion of envy to get its suckers. Once swallowed, it’s a poison that will destroy the cultural fabric of a nation.
