Fundamentalism, McBeth, and The Review & Expositor

I am not in favor of women pastors. What do you think they do with single women missionaries in foreign countries? Bake cookies? What is the purpose of their evangelism? I have a letter from Rankin's office to prove it. They send those ladies to foreign countries but not the countries who speak English. The letter is dated 1998. Those are the fundamentalists of the current SBC leadership.


I really think God is cleaning house and we won't even recognize the new churches developing. The old will pass and those who are bold and willing to stand will stand. The opposition is increasing in the US and those churches that think the KJVO mentality will sustain them are in for a real surprise.

Baptist Believer,

Here is a prime example of how the "Jesus is the Criterion" philosophy is used by the apostate Baptists. I do not say that everyone who advocates that philosophy uses it to this same degree, but there can be no doubt that those who do were (are?) entrenched in Southern Baptist acedemia.

any text must be understood according to its place in the total picture of biblical revelation and, most particularly, in light of the revelation of God given in Jesus Christ [emphasis added]. (For example, interpreters may ask whether the affirmation of heterosexual relations in the creation stories of Genesis 1 and 2 is intended also to prohibit all same-sex relations or whether the silence of same-sex relations is merely a descriptive reflection of a world where heterosexual marriage relations were so much the norm that alternatives were not mentioned. Again, intepreters may reasonably ask whether our attitude toward Old Testament condemnations of same-sex acts is affected by the priority of love in Jesus' teachings and his acceptance of women, prostitutes, tax collectors and others theretofore considered as second-class citizens or sinful outcasts). (quoted from the "Report of the Task Force on Human Sexuality: A Document for Dialogue and Study" published by The Alliance of Baptists).

I'm sorry you folks have to read such filth, but it is necessary to expose the depth to which the so called "moderates", with their "Jesus is the criterion" bunk, would have sunk the SBC.

The churches of the SBC owe an eternal debt of gratitude to the men who dethroned these heretics from their chairs of theology in the SBC seminaries and should uphold and support those who continue to ferret them out of the holes into which they have digged.
