This sad news just makes me even more thankful for @MarkDever and @chbcdc as they teach biblical Christianity. https://t.co/8713XfUWji

I don’t, as the old expression goes, have a dog in this fight: I’m not a Christian, and I think Baptists are the low and cult-ish bottom of an untrue and affirmatively harmful belief system.
I do take some pleasure in noting the creeping fulfillment of a prediction that I made a long time ago: Same-sex couples are going to become theologically acceptable throughout Christianity, because the public that churches serve have (by and large) accepted same-sex couples. What is more …
-
Pastors aren’t very intelligent as a class, but neither are they suicidal. They’re going to go along and accept gay couples when their congregations do. Matthew Vines has given them all the cover they need.
-
This is going to be easier for most seminary-educated pastors than might be widely expected, because anybody who has been to a bona fide seminary knows perfectly well that the jive about ‘inerrancy’ is a marketing lie; most pastors will be relieved when their congregations stop demanding to be told that lie.

Except Southern Baptists, who will go down with the ship.
