The attention Homosexuality gets
Perhaps alvin wants to know why this particular sin is getting so much attention from the SBC while the greed and other sin within the church and its members gets ignored?
I can answer that. First it is true that homosexuality gets more attention than the others. It is untrue that those other things get ignored.
But the reason homosexuality gets so much attention is because it has become a political agenda.
It is being forced on children in our public schools.
Any disagreement... -
Unmarried "Couples"
I am starting this based on a thread that Alvin started elsewhere.
Are there unmarried "couples" who are members of your church living together?
If so- what action has been taken against them? Have they been removed from membership or at a minimum put on the inactive list? Do we say, "well there are kids so they need both parents". Do we look the other way?.
How seriously do we take Matt 18? -
What is it that makes homosexuals so despised by Southern Baptists?
In the Constitution of the Southern Baptist Convention, Article III, it states that a church can only be a member if it is in friendly “cooperation” with the Convention. Cooperation is defined as those churches that do not “act to affirm, approve, or endorse homosexual behavior.” There is no prohibition against churches that act to affirm or endorse slavery, pedophilia, adultery, murder or anything else, just homosexuality. In addition, the SBC has adopted over 40 resolutions condemning... -
Would two sinners marrying, be considered sinning?
If "Leroy" and "Bertha", who neither had been married before, are married before a God called minister, would that be constituted as a sin?
And when they consummated their marriage with each other, in the confines of the marriage bed, is that a sin, too? -

A Campus in Turmoil
Some alumni and students 'concerned' with Cedarville trustees' move to promote fidelity to school's Fundamentalist doctrinal statement:
Inside Higher Education

Why no head coverings?
I'm going on the assumption that the majority of our baptist churches do not require women to wear head coverings in public worship. How do we justify this? This is important, because we often prove our point on various issues by saying, "The bible says it, so I believe it." So, for example, if arguing against homosexuality:
1. The bible says it's a sin, so it's a sin...don't bring your cultural arguments into this.
2. But, the bible says women should wear head coverings, but that's... -
Lousiana College and Calvinism
Hello to all:
Does anyone know of the pending / ongoing controversy at LC over Calvinism. I understand that a prof's contract has not been renewed and that some trustees have resigned.
Is this the president's doing? I would like light not heat. I would not like for this to turn into a Calvinism debate or tearing down of "persons for whom Christ died." I would just like some facts please.
"That is all."
