Southern Baptist Convention Throws Out Saddleback Church

Consider your informed, then.

That’s you! Blah blah blah!

Yes.

He did if it wasn’t everything to you he’s not worth your time yet. Maybe it is now.

I think we're done here.
There can be no discussion about anything, really.

Feelings mutual. I’m good with being done.

Why the SBC Should Remove Saddleback

Over the weekend, a friend sent me a post from one of Saddleback Church’s social media accounts announcing that their new female teaching pastor would be delivering her first sermon on Sunday…

@Integrity

Please explain how the spirit prompted you this morning.
Words, feelings, or something else?
You credit the spirit, so how was it done?
How do you discern between the prompting of the spirit and your conscience?

Bow out in a blaze of glory.
Answer for old times sake...please? Pretty please ?
Has the spirit got your tongue?

Yes, there certainly is, gives you insight into it what SBC believes and why they’re doing it. It’s more about following rules than about SBC thinking they’re not Christian. Organizations have rules, church organizations base them on agreed doctrine and then a few churches decided to break the rules, instead of working to change those rules within the organization. I don’t attend a church that has quite so rigid a interpretation although I understand rules and I understand how disrespectful it is when you are in an organization and do not follow the rules and do whatever you want. After all this questioning, the bigger question should’ve been why didn’t Saddleback Church remove themselves?

So what.

I am familiar with the SBC, was before I posted this thread.

Agreed.

SBC was certainly in their rights to do that, as never question the right or the decision. I just exercise my right to disagree.

I don’t attend a church that has quite so rigid a interpretation although I understand rules and I understand how disrespectful it is when you are in an organization and do not follow the rules and do whatever you want.

Can be difficult.

After all this questioning, the bigger question should’ve been why didn’t Saddleback Church remove themselves?

That would be a question for Saddleback Church leadership.

Why they even affiliated themselves with the SBC? is also a question for them.

 

[Integrity]

So what.

i don’t think I will at this time. I’ll continue to ponder this.

Do you even have a personal relationship with God-the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit?
