Prominent Southern Baptists are dropping ‘Southern’ name amid racial unrest

[SummerMadness]

This thread is about the SBC, not cultural Marxism.

 

[Hammster]

Care to be more specific? What's unbiblical about it?

It’s a godless system that presupposes systemic racism. It has no place in Christianity and the church because it flies in the face of Ephesians 2:11 and following.

This thread is about the SBC, not cultural Marxism.

It’s about what is informing their worldview.

And I didn’t say Marxism. I said cultural Marxism. If you need to know what that means, let me know.

Sure, let's explore what it means :
'Cultural Marxism' Catching On

'Cultural Marxism,' a conspiracy theory with an anti-Semitic twist, is being pushed by much of the American right.
...
In a nutshell, the theory posits that a tiny group of Jewish philosophers who fled Germany in the 1930s and set up shop at Columbia University in New York City devised an unorthodox form of "Marxism" that took aim at American society's culture, rather than its economic system.​

Uh, huh, sure. Reminds me of claims of the Illinois Nazis in the Blues Brothers. Not sure which is a bigger joke.

Now that I know the Southern Baptist origin story, yeah I can see why they'd want to flee the name.

Resolution 9 is not a "godless system". The question was about Resolution 9, not Critical Race Theory or "Cultural Marxism" or whatever you want to call it. You claimed that Resolution 9 was unbiblical. I'm asking what's unbiblical about Resolution 9.

 

[durangodawood]

Fill me in.

Nutshell: the Baptists generally rejected the "right" to own slaves. Southern Baptists split off specifically to maintain that "right" for their missionaries.

Do you know what Resolution 9 from last year’s convention was about?

Did they repent?

The news article doesn't say anything about cultural Marxism, so stay on topic about the SBC wanting to increase Christian fellowship with African Americans, seeking to change the name of the SBC due to its racist legacy. Droning on about cultural Marxism is a distraction from the topic of this thread. Seeking racial unity has nothing to do with cultural Marxism.

Okay. I disagree with Greear. Why? Because he has succumbed to the pressure to adopt Critical Race Theory as a worldview.

Do you know what Resolution 9 from last year’s convention was about?

Yes. I read it a couple times before asking you the question the first time.

What is unbiblical about Resolution 9?

It promoted CRT and Intersectionality.

 

[iluvatar5150]

It promoted CRT and Intersectionality.

1.) How did it promote them in any fashion?
2.) How did it promote them in an unbiblical fashion?

Here's the link to the resolution for anybody playing at home:

They are unbiblical. Using unbiblical tools is unbiblical.

Now there's a fully-elucidated argument. I don't suppose you could trouble yourself to compose entire paragraphs one of these days, eh?

Exactly, the poster makes a claim and then does not back up the claim, but at the same time wants to make their claim the subject of the thread.

I answered it, but then I had to jump through your hoops.
