The Concept of ?Fundamental Doctrines?: Modern Reductionism or Historic Pro
2008-02-14 18:36:00 Often I labor to reply to important questions in the comments on my blog, only to have my thoughts buried and hidden in the weeds, so to speak. So I thought I would craft today’s reply into a post. I’ve been debating with Pastor Kent Brandenburg on the appropriateness of ranking doctrines as fundamental/essential and ...

2008-02-05 01:33:00 In yet another of his inane ramblings, Bill Dembski lies for Jesus once again.

Demand The Southern Baptist Convention Condemn Rev. Wiley S. Drake!
2007-08-18 22:41:00 As a follow-up of yesterday’s post, I thought I should let you know the latest revelation about Rev. Drake, and give you some contact information for his associates at the Southern Baptist Convention. Below are a few quotes from the AU website: “Thanks to our friends in the blogosphere, we are learning more and more about the Rev. Wiley S. Drake, and it’s far from pretty. The Buena Park, Calif., pastor, who is urging supporters to pray for the demise of Americans United and its staff, is a radical character with alleged ties to some of our nation’s most extreme Religious Right operatives.” Drake called for “imprecatory prayers” (curses) against Americans United after we asked the Internal Revenue Service to investigate his misuse of church resources to endorse Republican presidential candidate Mike Huckabee. All nonprofits, including houses of worship, are barred from endorsing candidates for public office. Churches that do wade into electioneering place their tax ex...
News & Current Events :: Southern Baptists Debate the Role of their 'Messag
2007-07-23 20:56:00 Author: Eric Subject: Southern Baptists Debate the Role of their 'Message'Posted: Mon Jul 23, 2007 2:56 pm (GMT -4) Reasonable Cause Southern Baptists debate the role of their Message in hiring, firing Collin Hansen It's anybody's guess what messengers to the Southern Baptist Convention (SBC) annual June meeting intended when they approved a motion on the Baptist Faith and Message (BFM). This much at least is clear: Messengers meeting in San Antonio recognized the 2000 document as "neither a creed nor a complete statement of our faith nor final or infallible." That's where the water turns murky, and the main dispute concerns how to deal with issues not addressed in the BFM. Some Southern Baptists now insist that the BFM should be the only criterion for hiring and firing. They focus on a phrase in the motion that describes the BFM as "sufficient in its current form." They have loudly protested moves by Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary and th...
Southern Baptist Leader: Thumbs Down On Evangelicals For Romney
2007-06-23 17:01:00 Evangelicals are unlikely to vote for Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney because the former Massachusetts governor’s Mormon faith claims to be the only true Christian church, a Southern Baptist leader says. “I have a very difficult time with the perspective [the Mormon church holds] that, ‘we are the true expression of Christianity and all other forms ...
Bush Bolstered By Albanians, Now Southern Baptists
2007-06-14 15:18:00 SAN ANTONIO, Texas — President George W. Bush may have low approval ratings overall, but he can still bring a crowd of Southern Baptists to their feet.

Southern Baptists say government-mandated limits are ?very dangerous?
2007-06-14 09:36:00 Further to my post about fundamental Christianity affecting America’s approach to global warming, Southern Baptists yesterday approved a resolution on global warming that questions whether humans are largely to blame for the phenomenon. The resolution also warns that increased regulation of greenhouse gases will hurt the poor. It rejects government-mandated limits on carbon-dioxide and other emissions ...
News & Current Events :: Southern Baptists Urged to Overcome 'Factionalism'
2007-06-13 20:36:00 Author: Eric Subject: Southern Baptists Urged to Overcome 'Factionalism'Posted: Wed Jun 13, 2007 2:36 pm (GMT -4) Southern Baptists Urged to Overcome 'Factionalism' to Win the Lost Audrey Barrick There is a "factionalism" within the Southern Baptist Convention that "deeply disturbs me," said the head of the denomination. "For 30 years we’ve been trying to raise baptism levels among non-revived churches among non-revived people who’ve lost their passion for the lost. But interestingly enough, we’ve become strangely passionate about our own agendas," said SBC president Frank Page Tuesday morning during the church body’s annual meeting in San Antonio, Texas. With baptisms in the Southern Baptist Convention down for the second consecutive year, Page is worried not only about the declining number but about the loss of passion for missions among members of the largest Protestant denomination in the nation. "Where's the joy?" he po...

News & Current Events :: Half of Southern Baptist Pastors Believe in Gift o
2007-06-02 20:33:00 Author: Eric Subject: Half of Southern Baptist Pastors Believe in Gift of TonguesPosted: Sat Jun 02, 2007 2:33 pm (GMT -4) Surprising Study Reveals Half Southern Baptist Pastors Believe in Gift of Tongues Lillian Kwon Half of Southern Baptist pastors say they believe the Holy Spirit gives some people a special language to pray to God – what is known to some as private prayer language – a surprising new study found. Southern Baptist leaders have continued to debate on the issue of speaking in tongues and private prayer language in recent years as some agencies have adopted policies banning the charismatic practice. Amid ongoing discussions, LifeWay Research, a department of LifeWay Christian Resources, wanted to determine the perceptions and opinions of Southern Baptist Convention leaders on an issue that has been a topic of interest, indicated Brad Waggoner, vice president of research and ministry development at LifeWay. Results of the study showed that overall, 63 per...
Southern Baptist Leader: Educated Women are threat to family
2007-05-16 23:27:00 Late last year Paige Patterson fired a woman on account of his interpretation of 1 Timothy 2:12. He has now taken his god based sexism to an international forum where he had this to say about the education of women in America: Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary president Paige Patterson says families need to be concerned that in America, 60% of college students are female. He predicts that in a few years, men will be increasingly underrepresented among “the intelligentsia” and will gradually cede leadership in many areas to women. source: One News Now Don’t kid yourself that this has anything to do with falling education levels among men. It doesn’t. It’s about us women being anything more than baby-having, cake-baking, man-supporting sex-dolls and maids. And heaven forbid a woman outranks a man. That’s almost worse than cracking jokes about the Holy Spook. The problem is that sexist can’t be sexist these days, at least not e...

The Southern Baptist Academy Stands for Homeschooling
2007-02-27 16:15:02 By Mimi Rothschild I would like to do my part to spread the word about the We Stand for Homeschooling petition. The petition was designed to help spread awareness about the deceptive use of the word “homeschooling” by public cyber schools. These public cyberschools are using the word homeschooling as a way to lure those wishing for a public school alternative back into the fold. The problem the signers of this petition are trying to avoid can be summarized by a simple guilt by association. Public virtual charter schools are proving to be colossal wastes of money, especially when their students are not performing even as well as their public school counterparts. Their use of homeschooling terminology needs to stop now. We might not be able to define what homeschooling is, given its variety of forms, but we can confidently define what homeschooling is not, and that is a publicly-funded program. I can’t be any more emphatic about this: Enrolling in public virtual... |
