Head of CBF partner ministry supports full inclusion of gays

“I have come to the conclusion that God created humanity with various sexual identities and orientations,” BCE Executive Director Mitch Randall wrote in a column on the organization’s flagship website EthicsDaily.com. “Therefore, the church should not hinder LGBTQ Christians from full inclusion into the body as God made them.”

The stance sets him apart from his predecessor, BCE founding executive director Robert Parham, who died in office in March 2017.
Parham, who launched the free-standing ethics agency in 1991, leaned over the years toward the traditionalist view while more progressive Baptists moved away from using sexual orientation or gender identity as a test for fellowship.

Maybe CBF should send a delegation to Rome to ask Pope Francis how that is working out for the RCC. Of course, Pope Francis is in a bad mood at the moment because the "Nazis" and "Racists" made big increases in the recent EU elections in spite of the wise advice of the globalists and open border advocates that global slavery would be best for mankind, I mean personkind.

Going.........going.........we know what comes next, don’t we? The feewings of loser humans take precedence over the Word of God, leaving us just where we started.....with no hope.

I think that the same thing as is going on with Pope Francis is going on inside the SBC. They blame God for being homosexual or having that "orientation." But God didn't do that. Mohler is wrong.

Genesis 1:27 (KJV) So God created man in his [own] image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them.

Jesus repeated what God did: Matthew 19:4 (KJV) And he answered and said unto them, Have ye not read, that he which made [them] at the beginning made them male and female,

Conclusions such as this one by BCE Executive Director Mitch Randall is part of the rotten fruit produced by a rejection of the Genesis account of creation.

Isn't the CBF mainly churches who got disfellowshipped from the SBC or left before they got the boot?

Conclusions such as this one by BCE Executive Director Mitch Randall is part of the rotten fruit produced by a rejection of the Genesis account of creation.

Which is one of the reasons I oppose Pete Enns who is affiliated with Biologos. Enns purports the Genesis Myth; that the creation narrative is basically religious mythology and cannot be taken as truth in all its parts. If part of the Bible is not true then claims can be made against anything else the Bible teaches.

The CBF is the Cooperative Baptist Fellowship (org. 1991), one of two groups started out of the Conservative/Moderate/Liberal struggle in the Southern Baptist Convention (called by "winners" the Conservative Resurgence and by "losers" the Fundamentalist Takeover). The other group is the Alliance of Baptists (org. 1987). I think the AoB mostly made a clean break from the SBC (and are the more liberal of the two groups), but apparently there are quite a few churches that are dually aligned with both the SBC and CBF.
