Dr. Iorg says, "moving [the Law/Sanchez Amendment] into the constitution further complicates the issue" and could have "all kinds of unintended consequences..." The "constitution is a legally binding document," so there are "legal and financial implications." #SBC25
If I heard correctly, the Sanchez amendment is even worse than the Law amendment in that it includes language, not just about titles, but functions. Do we really want the CC trying to interpret job descriptions and responsibilities? #SBC25 1/2
Why make the application of a tertiary issue - constituting a single phrase in a 6,000+ word confession - the litmus test for cooperation in gospel ministry?
Vote no. #LawAmendment#SBC25
Seems to me there are too many pastors who want to be in power and if they arenโt in power they will do anything they can, even using worldly means, to gain power. This is why there is needless, endless fighting in SBC. #SBC25
Iโm afraid the SBC I was raised to love and revere is headed on a course which will destroy it. Itโs not liberalism thatโs the problem as it was years ago. The litmus test is now how conservative are you? And if you arenโt really far right then not enough. #SBC25
๐งต In an absolutely predictable turn of events, it appears ratifying the #LawAmendment wonโt be the end of the planned disfellowshipping of SBC churches that allow women to use their giftsโwhether titled pastor or not. Disappointed but unsurprised.
Iโve been to most all SBC meetings since โ94. When voting on BF&M2000 we had 60-80 lead female pastors/co-pastors. Now we have zero & some see it as more of a problem than 25 years ago! Beware when you hear talk of โliberal driftโ for it may be a Trojan Horse to get power. #SBC25
REMINDER: Kamala Harris bragged she was the "last person in the room" during the botched Afghanistan withdrawal โ which claimed the lives of 13 U.S. service members.
She has NEVER said their names out loud.
The Vice President says she will fight for the middle class.ย The New York Times reports Ms. Harris wants $5 trillion in new taxes.ย Interesting.ย Will analyze her speech on @NewsNation shortly.
Fundamentalist Christians are putting the Ten Commandments in Louisiana public schools.
Now, their kids will know God is deeply offended by stealing, coveting thy neighborโs wife, coveting thy neighborโs goods, adultery & bearing false witness.
And this November, those kids will watch their parents vote for Donald Trump.
