Southern Baptist Convention Throws Out Saddleback Church

[Integrity]

They are free to make the rules they choose. If they are leading people astray, they will answer to one higher than me.

I agree.

My opinion is still that I disagree with the decision. They can do what and believe what they want just like everyone else on the planet.

 

[Thebrownblob]

You can have an opinion but NP.

I have expressed my opinion on the questions you brought up here.

I linked the video for you from a member of the church who explained everything you took out of context you’re still free to disagree with it, but your framing of it is completely wrong. Again, my opinion doesn’t matter I don’t belong to their organization. I don’t know why it matters to you either they must fully and completely feel. Their decision is earnestly the right one that’s a pretty big church that they have decided to part ways with. Apparently they put their convictions above money so good for them.

That’s the beauty of Christianity. There is free will.

 

[Integrity]

Yes. Doesn't matter what you want to believe. If a church wants to belong to the SBC they have to conform to its beliefs. You can always leave that church if you disagree.

So you believe women should not Pastor churches?

1 Corinthians 14:35

I agree but I may add I believe it is one of the many beauties of following God the Father, through Jesus, by the power of the Holy Spirit.

Yikes.

You already Bible versed your opinion.

I do not support the suppression or oppression of women for any reason.

I believe my point of view is supported by the life and teachings of Jesus.

Maybe, I will watch it later, maybe not.

You seem to want to say a lot in this thread except give your opinion as to whether you agree with the SBC decision or not.

All good. I appreciate your input.

I don’t believe in disrespecting women for any reason. I believe the teachings and life of Jesus are consistent with my belief.

 

[UnionStrong]

And?

No women pastors

 

[UnionStrong]

Not true.

You said you pick and choose

but it’s not disrespectful. It’s actually the way God intended because everything has an order and when you get out of order, sin creeps in. Jesus was transformative towards women. He appeared to them first, after his resurrection, which, in that culture, was unbelievable to any men, because women were not important enough for a God to appear to first.

You said you pick and choose

and only agree with parts of what the Bible says. He must be smarter than God.

 

[Integrity]

You said you pick and choose

Where did I say this?

I don’t believe they are my words.

 

[UnionStrong]

You’ve said it often. Could we all be wrong?

Lol so you base your opinions on a secular website, and did not go straight to the source to get at least their side? OK carry on.

He’s choosing not to remember that

 

[vantexan]

And if women believe and follow 1 Corinthians 14:35 also? Are you going to tell them they're oppressed?

How is that verse not disrespectful to women?

Jesus definitely knew how to treat women.

Where’s @BrownFlush?

Definitely not smarter than the Father, Son or the Holy Spirit.
