    Amen!

    Jesus was quite clear.

    Jhn 3:7 Marvel not that I said unto thee, Ye must be born again


    Behold, I was brought forth in iniquity,
    And in sin my mother conceived me. Ps 51:5

    And Adam knew Eve his wife; and she conceived, and bare Cain, and said, I have gotten a man from the LORD.
    And she again bare his brother Abel. And Abel was a keeper of sheep, but Cain was a tiller of the ground.Gen 4:1

    They were brought forth in iniquity.

    Of course, Mohler and Moore are wrong that there is a homosexual orientation. It is just a sin. Perhaps Mohler and Moore want to say that a thief has a thievery orientation. Just crazy what those two are doing.

    I am not “attracted” to the SBC, but the local assembly has a very humble teaching pastor, of good conduct and character, and is solid in doctrine.

    Moore had one guy threatened with arrest for asking that question and police-escorted out of the building last year at the convention. That is part of the reason Trump called Moore a nasty guy with no heart. Maybe Moore drinks soy. :Thumbsdown

    In this association, churches have to contribute or they are disfellowshipped.

    And yet you've offered no more than opinion (a repeated one) to support your own opinion.

    Jesus' words in Matthew 15 are quite clear: Sexual immorality (and a host of other sins) comes from the heart; it isn't "just sin." In truth, whether it is sexual immorality, murder, drunkenness, etc., the issue of any kind of sin is a heart issue--a heart that wants to do what is right in its own eyes, not God's eyes. So, again, whether there is a disposition to homosexuality isn't the point; that there is an established disposition to sinfulness--and sins including homosexuality--is the point.

    But, of course, that's only one side of the story. I'm sure you know that...

    Moore has had a year to deny the story and he hasn't. He is a nasty guy with no heart. Maybe he has a liberal orientation which causes him to be so mean. Naw, he just is mean.

    A spokesperson for the ERLC did deny the story. So, there’s that.

    That is not how it happened. The ERLC, SBC and Dallas PD all said it didn't happen like that. Littleton was removed from the restricted area. He was not removed from the building.

    He also claimed the ERLC filed a police report on him. Dallas PD told the Christian Post, no such report exists.

    The Police have no record of it.

    But Littleton never accused Moore of doing anything. He accused Leatherwood.

    Would you agree that it would be best to abolish the ERLC and pull the SBC back out of Washington DC politics?

    I prefer funds to go to missions..foreign and local church plants. I would think local associations could represent their churches in matters of religious freedom or churches handle it theirselves.

    I say this not knowing fully what the ERLC does daily. But I really don't see why matters of interest to the church, can't be handle by local and state groups.

    At some point the SBC felt like they needed the ERLC. I also wonder at times, if Moore supported Trump like Falwell does, would people love the ERLC.

    My biggest concern of Dr. Moore is his glowing endorsement of Beth Moore. I guess I have more Theological concerns with him than I do over his position (job) and the institution he runs.

    Thank you!

    I agree with everything you said.

    I think that the SBC should trust the public on candidates and only discuss issues.

    Greear should have cleaned up this mess. The public is to blame for sending so much money to Nashville.

    So to be right with the SBC you must support Trump or you are out of favor? Is that true?

    Then Moore endorses Moore? Doesn’t she say she is a pastor cause in my Bible... well you get the drift.

    Yes, Moore endorses more. Haha. And yes, she (Beth) has elevated herself to an unbiblical leadership postion and Russell openly supports her, without openly calling for female pastors. Beth has went full egalitarian and Russell is too close for comfort.

    Has far as Trump, I do feel many are upset with Russell Moore because he wouldn't support Trump. Once Moore spoke against Trump, many SBC members, including on this forum....began to attack at a rapid pace and calling for his firing or abolishing of the SBC. I have my issues with Dr. Moore, but I do not count this as one of them.

    I support of Beth Moore and his mischaracterizations of those who signed the Statement on Social Justice (and misleading on the statement its self) is very disappointing. I won't call for abolishing of the ERLC, though I do wonder if anything is does that is relevant, could be done at more local levels. That would allow money to directed elsewhere (missions)....but I do not know enough about the ERLC to condemn it.

    I also will admit to knowing nothing about any SBC movements other than my own interaction with them so I won’t comment on the ERLC other than to say it is absent in my own religious movement. As for Beth Moore, an aerobatics instructor turned heretical pastor, she requires immediate church disipline.
