Both statements are true.
The SBC hasn't endorsed the LGBT movement wholesale. In some quarters of the SBC, the idea of the "gay Christian" has been endorsed. The idea being that a person is celibate but embraces a gay identity. It's not a good trend.Escapee said:A well know IFBx pastor asked a friend of mine how I could sit there at the Southern Baptist Convention while the LGBT movement was endorsed from the platform! I cant even wrap my mind around that question! SMH

It's more subtle than an outright endorsement. However, it's fair to say that waters have been muddied on the issue in some quarters. See SBC site Pulpit & Pen for more detail.

List for me the names of people in the SBC who have endorsed gay Christians. Names please. And dont say Dever. That is 100% a lie!

The problem with Pulpit & Pen is? I doubt any SBC pastor or leader posting here would endorse the idea. Anyone is free to do their own research and draw their own conclusions.Escapee said:HereIStand said:It's more subtle than an outright endorsement.

When you quote Pulpit and Pen as a source that says it all! There are no leaders or pastors that I know of who are "endorsing" gay Christians. NONE! Sounds good though on internet boards!
HereIStand said:One additional though. I hope that you are right and I'm wrong.

Yea anyone is free to twist the truth and make it what one wants. The SBC is nowhere even near endorsing or sanctioning that lifestyle. What ticks me off is a Methodist pastor down the street from me who has told me he would do it. When wreckless statements like this are made it puts good people in the same camp and it is a slanderous lie. I think most Independents are arrogant windbags. Am I right to draw my own conclusion? No that isnt fair or right!
T-Bone said:I have been a pastor in SBC churches for 38 years...I know of no one that supports the "gay" lifestyle. I do know of churches that have been removed because of their endorsement and even celebration of the "gay" lifestyle. The matter of freemasonry is also more troubling to me...I have personally stood up against this horrid group and the many in SBC churches and leadership that are involved. Not sure that there are not many in IFB churches also. I will continue to stand against this. BTW- It was because I stood against Freemasonry and the joining with the Catholics many years ago that I am persona-non-grada with the convention. That's okay, we stopped any meaningful joining with the Catholics in evangelism, and we have at least silence the masonic influence for now. Our church is just as independant as any other Baptist church...and we function fully in an independent way as we choose to work with the SBC in missions around the world.

....but you SBC folk need not worry. Fundamentalism is on it's way out. New-evangelicalism has won the day. The ecumenical movement is going full steam. American christianity is going the way of England. They didn't listen to Spurgeon back in the day and we wouldn't now.
