Prepare for civil disobedience.
Fox– That’s the message one prominent pastor is sending to some 16 million members of the Southern Baptist Convention.
Jack Graham, pastor of Prestonwood Baptist Church in Texas, said American Christians should be prepared for massive fallout if the Supreme Court legalizes same-sex unions.
“We want to stay in the system,” Graham told me in a telephone interview. “We want to work in the system. We want to support our government. We want to obey its laws.”
“We want to obey its laws.”
If we return to the Constitution, “It’s laws” will be “Our laws.”
Not dictates from an illegal dictator, illegal oligarchy, or traitorous praetors.
Good for the Southern Baptists. There hasn’t been a peep out of the Catholic Church. Someone please correct me if I’m wrong.
Stand firm, Southern Baptists. I left the Presbyterian, then the Methodist church because of this reason.
hopefully the other denominations join in now that the Baptists made a huge statement. Or are they afraid of the sodomites?
Brother Dave Gardner once remarked that the difference between a Northern Baptist and a Southern Baptist was that a Northern Baptist says, “There ain’t no Hell,” and a Southern Baptist says, “The hell there ain’t!”
: )
At least *somebody* is trying to save America culture.
The Catholic Church cannot go against God’s law. Holy Matrimony is one of the seven sacraments of the Church.
Now whether or not these mamby/pamby Bishops come out and
declare it so, is another story.
And if Pope “Who am I to judge” goes along with it, what will US priests do? I can see Tubby Dolan scheduling a same-sex wedding within minutes of the ruling.
Civil disobedience – – I like it.
The Orthodox church states homos are mentally ill.
If the Council of Churches accepts homo marriage I expect many denominations will quit.
Just met with Pastor yesterday. This subject came up. We are an independent Baptist church. No way will we comply with allowing desecration of the Cross.
If Pope Francis The Communist keeps on with his Global Warming, Capitalism Evil schtick, I can easily see him coming out in favor of gay marriage.
I applaud the Baptist Church for having the backbone and moral faith to stand up for the principles espoused in God’s Holy Book.
Now I just need to find a Baptist Church that won’t frown on my drinking & dancing and we’re all good.
No compromise.
Ensign Pulver, go ahead and drink and dance. You’re in good company. Jesus danced, David danced, and they both drank wine.
Tha, of course, wold not include the GARBC or Independent Baptist Churches, but would probably describe some of the American Baptists.
Up until I started college in ’81-’82 college psych textbooks still classified homosex as mental illness, among the group of behavioral disorders. I still possess one or two that make that classification.
Religious freedom in the American Colonies, territory/colony-wide started in Rhode Island, which was… Baptist. That is also where the mass production and distribution of whiskey took off. Other colonies each had their particular brand of presbyterian, congregationl, or episcopal (or inthe case of Maryland, very loosely enforced Catholicism)forms of worship, and they strictly upheld those forms in their colonies.
Our [Baptist]family did NOT even consider doing the drinking or dancing thing. My Mom grew up in the Holiness Churches (Assembly of God, Church of God, Pentecostal, often called Holy Rollers) as a preacher’s kid, and she was dead against card playing as well which my Dad’s family(Baptist) did every time they got together. My paternal Grandma was a fierce card player.
I’m sure there are some Baptists out there who don’t hold too hard to the “no beer and no dancing” thing, ’cause some of them come from foreign countries where there isn’t much stricture against such things, but there are still some here that will chuck you out right quick on the grounds of general worldliness., but less and less of them are Southern Baptists that have a liberal left-wing, that are also big on importing foreign criminals from the rest of the world so their lazy asses can “minister” to them where they don’t have to go through the hardship s of the missionfield.,
In fact, shortly before many of those colonies started the immigrants, particularly from England, had fathers and grandfathers who had been in long religious civil wars in Europe, England and France(against Huguenots), who were still overcoming the Catholic authoritarian royals and Roman counter-Reformation influence over them. It was those bloody conflicts that made the founders so concerned about gov’t dictating religion.
We are at another point of history where this is either accepted or rejected. Blessings to those who are not complacent with the gay agenda. “Be fruitful and multiply” does not apply to gays. It is not enough to be coexistent, for they ( militant gay)seek domination over the natural order. This will cause an individual to pick a side.
