National Baptist, Methodist and Presbyterian organizations all split over slavery in the decades leading to the US Civil War. Unless "true Christian" is defined as "opposes slavery", then the claim was nonsense.Except for the Southern Baptist Convention (still the largest Protestant denomination in the US) which was founded to support slavery.
You're both forgetting two things. One is that not all 630 (?) laws are for today or for believers. (They were specific to the time and to those people.) The second is that the overriding law is that of love. Would Jesus have stoned homosexuals? No. He's the Christian's ultimate Model.
Now why would you say a thing like that, I'll bet you think people who post a lot are AVs, but that is because you were brought up to think that.Maybe AV is consol ...
The slavery issue was settled decades ago.Except for the Southern Baptist Convention (still the largest Protestant denomination in the US) which was founded to support slavery.
I like your word choice.Awful lotta those Christians have no problem with evolution
They can have tax-free income without slavery.Same thing that keeps any religion going, tax free income.

What keeps them Southern Baptists, now that slavery has been abolished?
So you're saying they would have been Southern Baptists, whether or not slavery existed?It seems to be a combination of fear, self deception, and in some cases greed.

And greedy of what, exactly?
(You do know that Turncoat Falwell went from Independent Baptist to Southern Baptist, do you not? was he expecting to pick up some slaves?)
I beg your pardon?Yes, if slavery still existed your church would probably still exist.
Please show me a mega Southern Baptist church in 1865.Subduction Zone said:Some of the mega-churches are Southern Baptist.
Who got rich off of you?Subduction Zone said:There is a lot of money that a few can make abusing the ignorant.
I'd venture to say Mr. Lincoln took care of the power problem.Subduction Zone said:Nope, just more money and power.
Falwell backslid ... but he's in Heaven now, so that's that.Subduction Zone said:I take it that you do not approve of Falwell.

Maybe I should start a challenge thread on what you are struggling to answer, and we can see how many other educated folk will follow suite ... eh?
Why you're not willing to follow the conversation.What did you not understand?
Those who want to yak about slavery being the cause of the Southern Baptist church's inception.Subduction Zone said:Who say that we are limited to talking only about the past?
Fear of what? Abraham Lincoln?Subduction Zone said:In that case fear and ignorance would have been enough at that time.
That's because I'm having a hard time finding your slaves here in the 21st century.Subduction Zone said:Perhaps at his time, not at our time. You seem to be stuck in the past.
Oh, please.Subduction Zone said:Why on Earth would Falwell be in heaven?
And I'm Genghis Khan.Subduction Zone said:I am not struggling.

Well according to your [rocks head side to side] highly intelligent VAGUE reply [/rocks head side to side], it's 'fear, self deception, and in some cases greed.'"What keeps them Southern Baptists, now that slavery has been abolished?"
Now why would you say a thing like that, I'll bet you think people who post a lot are AVs, but that is because you were brought up to think that.
Truth be told, if you lived in another country would you think I was consol. or would you realize that those without a proper education that are allowed to post here will eventually bring down the moral fabric of the country, then the next thing you know the whole world is in a mess, and its all because of people like AV who preffer quantity over quality.
Oh, well, if it bothers you that much, why don't you just put me on ignore, or something else, like don't read my posts, or maybe you could just report me, or maybe you could just not log in, or maybe not log on, or maybe you could just let it go, because if you give a person enough rope, he will hang, himself, especially, if he's a creationist, and especially if hes a literal genesis creationist It's your choice.

OICTried to PM you, but couldn't, so I'll just say it in public.
Dude, I'm so sorry if I offened you. I think I've made it clear that I actually have respect for you because of who you are. Not that we agree on ... anything. My point was, if you are consol, it would be the greatest Poe ever! Beyond great, beyond legendary, well ...
