SBC name change

[Gene Scarborough]

Dave & Keith---

I grew up with the same respect for the Bible without a worship of the textus receptus.

My father grew up in an ignorant church outside Athens, GA, with the view that, if he went to Mercer, they would ruin him. He went and came away with an informed religion. Got more at Andover-Newton. His "informed religion" allowed him to see through the politics of Baptists and into the worshipful religion of a creator-God.

It is tragic when ignorance of the real nature of scripture causes people to hate and fight with one another. The typical Baptist church member is uninformed---and more there for the social connections than learning about God's Word. Anyone stupid enough to insist on "without error" has little room for faith grounded in mankind's history given by the Bible. Neither have they ever looked at the Nestle Greek Text. It clearly shows all the variants of "original manuscripts."

Emory's religion course taught me to clearly show all sides of a theological position and then explain logically which one makes most sense to me. SEBTS simply presented a deep look at Church HIstory / Theology / Ministry / Bible without requiring that "only a certain narrow view is now acceptable." A far cry from today's SEBTS steeped in inerrancy.
