Divisions over race, politics, gender and LGBTQ issues are roiling America’s largest Protestant denomination, the Southern Baptist Convention, ahead of an executive meeting.

Some of the most volatile topics facing the SBC aren’t on the executive committee agenda but have fueled passionate blog posts and social media exchanges in recent weeks. Among the issues:

Moore has been president of the SBC’s Ethics and Religious Liberty Commission, or ERLC, since 2013. Though staunchly conservative on issues such as abortion and same-sex marriage, he has gained an audience outside the SBC with his speeches and writings, including criticism of Trump, condemnation of Christian Nationalism and support for a more welcoming immigration policy.

Moore, who has declined public comment on the report, is likely to retain his post, at least for the short term. Conrad has the option of appealing an expulsion, but he’s making plans to affiliate at least temporarily with the Cooperative Baptist Fellowship, which allows its churches to set their own policies regarding LGBTQ inclusion.

NBCOUT How in the world can a Christian organization be divided over RACE?

Raise your children in the house of the Lord. Bring them to Jesus Christ for he the only salvation we need!

So just consider it's like Trump took over the R party and rational R's jumped ship.... same for SBC... let the rational Baptists jump ship... you follow Jesus not the SBC

Religion is all about power, control and money.

Ahhh, just the way the Communists intended for it to be.

Religion is evil.

Southern Baptists divided over politics, race, LGBTQ policyDivisions over race, politics, gender and LGBTQ issues are roiling the Southern Baptist Convention ahead of a meeting of its executive committee next week. How can Baptist's claim to be Christians when they think they are better than others? No more to say. ⚠️Some Baptists about as Christian as a sharp spike. Some of them are vile, nasty pretenders, posing as Christians, but actually cruel, sadistic anti-Christians who would not recognise the de facto, authentic, Doctrine of Jesus Christ even if it hit them in the kisser! The truth! Separation of Church and State !
