Zone1 Should the Southern Baptist Church pontificate on moral issues ?

[Polishprince]

God's laws are the 10 Commandments.

Which Commandment is being broken? Which of God's Laws are being broken. Be specific.

THAT WHICH YOU DO TO THE LEAST AMONG YOU, YOU HAVE ALSO DONE TO ME.

Where did you get the idea that the 10 commandments were the be-all and end-all of God's commandments?

The Gay Community of Sodom was punished long before the decalogue was published.

"Thou shalt not lie with mankind, as with womankind: it is abomination."

The USA has a sad history of assault and murder on minorities, be they racial or social. From attacks on blacks buying property and running for office post Civil War, the Trail of Tear, the Race Riots of the 1920's, the Civil Rights unrest of the 1960's, and the George Floyd protest in 2020. And then they pretend none of it happened or mattered or that there is a problem.

Jesus' Parable of the Good Samaritan made a point of kindness. Samaritans were reviled and hated by Jews. The parable talks of taking responsibility for others and showing kindness to "neighbours". "Neighbours" being anyone in need". By pointing out that the Good Samaritan was more righteous than the Pharisee who crossed to the other side of the road, Jesus was making the point that everyone has good in them and should be treated as such.

The USA cannot call itself a Christian nation when they turn away refugees, separate families, and deport people with no due process. That which you have done to the least among you, you have done to Me.

If Jesus was in the USA today, Kristi Noem and Tom Homan would round him up and ship him to a prison in El Salvador. Dark skinned, no papers, no money. Get Him outta here!!!

Shit talk.

1. We are a Christian nation.

2. Ban all immigrtion for two generations, to start.

3. Deport everyone we can. It was a mistake to let so many mexicans in.

Should homosexual men like the OP continue to spread HIV?

Given the well publicised cases of child abuse in this organisation should they really be commening on moral issues ?

Not just commenting but trying to dictate social policy.

Wouldnt they be better advised to ensure that children are protected in their churches before commenting on other issues ?

Not least because they lack credibility.
Gay marriage is not a problem and the majotity of americans support the right to love and live as you please.
Does a pressure group have that right ?
Especially when their own conduct is open to question.

definitely not the Westboro Baptist Church ...

Irrelevant to everything I said.


My points stand. Would you like to address them or just spout off some more?

And I am a practicing Christian who has served in church leadership for the better part of a decade. The church is dying under the weight of losing people so it shifted to prioritizing itself as a political and cultural click over the message of personal salvation.

Ever notice Citiygator is always the exact moral epitome no matter what the topic.

That particular church isn't part of the Southern Baptist Convention

1) we are a republic.

2) im ok with that if it forces employers to double their wages, or triple.
3) not sure what that means. Deport american born to citizens here? Id add more but youd call me names.

I try.

True. We are also a Christian nation.

2) im ok with that if it forces employers to double their wages, or triple.

That is ONE of the benefits I would expect.

3) not sure what that means. Deport american born to citizens here? Id add more but youd call me names.

Among millions of members, whether Catholic, Episcopal, Baptist, Methodist, or whatever, there are going to be some bad apples. Unfortunately those get a ton of publicity while the millions of good people get none.

ANY religious denomination or congregation that does not preach morality as they understand it to be is not a church at all but is simply a social or political organization.

Think about it for a second.
A group of people are telling you to live by their beliefs. That is intolerable.

So, democrats are intolerable?
