Why I Voted For Trump...

[Charles]

Nope - two of the bedrock principles of Southern Baptists:

A) the autonomy of the local church
2) the priesthood of every believer

So, do you think it is based on these bedrock principles that some of the Southern Baptists joined the cult of death?

[Cow Poke]

Read it several times Charles and you’re just trying to play more of your silly games. At least try to be honest.

And he'll ask a really dumb question, then hound you to death for not responding to it. It's all part of his mentality.

Back to the ad hominems.

Back to the ad hominems.

Back to the whining.

Back to the whining.

Whining? I have no problem when you so obviously demonstrate that you do not have anything of substance to adress my points. If you would like to prove me wrong skip the ad hominems and provide some good reasons.

[Cow Poke]

Whining?

yup

Your point is you’re playing more of your silly games.

[Charles]

yup

You skipped a huge part of that post. Ad hominems and ignoring wont get you far.

[Cow Poke]

You skipped a huge part of that post.

Yes, I did.

Ad hominems and ignoring wont get you far.

And rolling in the mud with you will?

Some more information about where the Southern Baptists stand with regard to abortion:

The SBC's official position on abortion is that "all human life is a sacred gift from our sovereign God" and that abortion is only moral in "very rare cases where the life of the mother is clearly in danger."
Even among Southern Baptists, though, there is some diversity of opinion on abortion.
Three in 10 Southern Baptists say abortion should be legal in most circumstances, according to a recent survey by the Pew Research Center.
Overall, 61% of white evangelical Protestants oppose abortion rights, which is actually down from 70% in 2017. To put that number in context, far more white evangelicals (76%) supported President Trump's ban on immigrants from seven Muslim-majority countries. https://edition.cnn.com/2019/05/23/p...ama/index.html

So, seemingly, quite many of the Southern Baptists are also members of the cult of death.

This may come as a big shock to you, Charles, but just being a "Southern Baptist" does not mean one is a born-again Christian.

Further, as has already been pointed out, we don't have a pope, and your quote that the "SBC's official position" is part of the OPINION piece you cited from those crazy right wing conservative nutjobs at CNN.

If you'd like to see the best representation of what Southern Baptists believe, you can check out the Baptist Faith & Message to which many of us subscribe. Note, however, that we are not a creedal people, and nobody is forced to agree with this position.

Baptist Faith & Message

You can quote "talking heads" and opinion surveys all you want, but the above is what we voted as our platform at our annual meetings.

Has Tassman enlisted you to be his henchman on messing with Southern Baptists?

So here is the little fact check. Here is what was in the quote that you described as being from "the OPINION piece you cited from those crazy right wing conservative nutjobs at CNN."

"all human life is a sacred gift from our sovereign God" and that abortion is only moral in "very rare cases where the life of the mother is clearly in danger." https://edition.cnn.com/2019/05/23/p...ama/index.html

Here is what you find at sbc.net (yes, the source you yourself pointed to):

[...]all human life is a sacred gift from our sovereign God and therefore that all abortions, except in those very rare cases where the life of the mother is clearly in danger, are wrong[...] http://www.sbc.net/resolutions/26/re...h-abortion-ban

If you had known better you would have known that the "talking heads" and those you describe as crazy told us what we find on the source you yourself pointed to.

So here is the little fact check. Here is what was in the quote that you described as being from "the OPINION piece you cited from those crazy right wing conservative nutjobs at CNN."

And, perhaps it was lost on you that I was being a bit facetious that the folks at CNN would be considered conservative.

I know EXACTLY what it says, Charles, I helped write it.

If you had known better you would have known that the "talking heads" and those you describe as crazy told us what we find on the source you yourself pointed to.

Charles, this is why nobody enjoys having conversations with you. The CNN piece contained that one line, then went off into "But it's still about politics"....

Now, do you actually have a point, or are you just carrying water for Tassman?

[Charles]

And, perhaps it was lost on you that I was being a bit facetious that the folks at CNN would be considered conservative.

I quoted your description of them. You cannot be too worried about that.

I know EXACTLY what it says, Charles, I helped write it.

As I have demonstrated, you had at least seemingly forgotten what was in that text or had some other reason to suggest the description in the article was not correct though you knew it were? Or is there some other reason you want to suggest a correct and fair description was an opionion by "talking heads" and people you describe as crazy?

Charles, this is why nobody enjoys having conversations with you. The CNN piece contained that one line, then went off into "But it's still about politics"....

You, however, took issues with the line that was correct and spent your time adressing that. Somehow adressing a correct quote was more important than having a discussion about the rather large number of Southern Baptists who have joined the cult of death.

[Cow Poke]

I quoted your description of them. You cannot be too worried about that.

Without comment, so I suppose you bought it.

As I have demonstrated, you had at least seemingly forgotten what was in that text

You haven't demonstrated any such thing - I know that part by heart. I was objecting to the whole rest of the OPINION.

or had some other reason to suggest the description in the article was not correct though you knew it were? Or is there some other reason you want to suggest a correct and fair description was an opionion by "talking heads" and people you describe as crazy?

And, again, this is why nobody enjoys conversing with you. It's like you work hard to try to misconstrue something so you can argue it.

You, however, took issues with the line that was correct and spent your time adressing that. Somehow adressing a correct qoute was more important than having a discussion about the rather large number of Southern Baptists who have joined the cult of death.

I took issue with you thinking you know anything about the Southern Baptists, you goofus. You have been CONSISTENTLY wrong about so many things.
