Patterson = Martin Luther

[Matt Richard]

I don't comment much on here...but it's fun to stir the pot when I come across stuff like this. Have fun.

Paige Patterson and Martin Luther. Not even close in my opinion. PP helped to destroy a great denomination--it seems bizarre to award a man for doing this. He can be sure he is leaving a legacy

I had no idea Dorothy had been a nun. But it's true, Paige religiously kept the SBC at arm's length from the Vatican during the entire period of his apostolate. (kind of cute treatment; ignores Lot & his girls).

I was taught in history courses that one requirement for historical perspective is time. Patterson is still out there. The Luther comparison is ludicrous, but there is no real perspective to assess his true influence. At least wait until he has finished his career.

Ed: So Sandy, If Luthers best known hymn is perverted why did the SBC's, Broadman & Holman, Publish A Mighty Fortress, in their hymnal both in 1991 & 98 ?

Umm, Ed, maybe Sandy just forgot the winking smiley face. I think it is obvious and then some that his sketch of Luther and the Lutherans was written with a large tongue-shaped object imbedded in his cheek.

Why so it is. I didn't see it myself, but it was pretty obviously appropriate to the post.

[Michael Wrenn]

Patterson and all of his ilk are demagogues who deny Baptist principles.

Sandy: You said:' Had they stepped back and allowed the process to move forward, their legacy would have been preserved as the leaders who saved the SBC from heretical liberalism."

You do realize that even if you repeat a lie a thousand times it is still a lie and not the truth.

David: For people like Sandy to be so willingly blind amazes me. I'm quite confident they will never realize they were deceived and that an organization--SBC that used to have people working together for a common cause now is destroying itself slowly day by day. For some their fear of their livelihoods must drive their daily behavior to ignore the truth.

Sandy:

You said to me:" You keep asserting that the SBC is "destroying itself" without providing a shred of evidence."

Sandy, if I gave you 500 reams of evidence as to why the SBC is destroying itself you would reject every page of it. You will forever believe the TAKEOVER purified the SBC and I will forever believe the TAKEOVER removed the heart of the SBC.
