Must the new Baptist Calvinism divide churches, denominations?

    Jerome,

    You are extrapolating an argument that won't fly.

    Slavery cut across every religious system and every style government and culture of the world for centuries. I would even remind you that pagan Africans sold their own kind into slavery way before Baptists in the South ever owned a slave. If you think that a world wide cultural violation of human rights that is still not over in parts of the world is comparable to the debate over Calvinism in the SBC then I simply must laugh at your leap of logic.

    I would also remind you that NonCalvinist Southern Baptists blew it during the civil rights movement in this country. In fact there are still Southern Baptist Churches in the South where a nonwhite preacher or members would not be welcome.

    To equate all the Southern Baptists' erroneous stands on cultural and social issues would be a interesting subject for a book.

    there is also plenty of them where a white preacher would be equally rejected.

    Yes, why didn't they follow the wise course of the Calvinists of South Africa?

    There are non white southern baptist churches in the south where white folks are not welcome. If that is not clear let me know I will try again.

    Jerome,

    Why don't you just come right out and say what you mean and quit beating around the bush.
