Latest SBC Mess Involves MBTS, ERLC and George Soros

[Sandy]

The blending of extremist right wing conservative politics with a far right, conservative, mostly-found-in-the-South denomination is producing some feisty, fiery conflict and war of words. Moderate Southern Baptists who were either pushed off to the side or completely out of the SBC were prophetic in their declaration that after the conservative resurgence, the direction of the denomination would lead to more conflict. But there's plenty of it, from doctrinal conflict in which some pastors are pushing for a revision of the BFM 2000 and stronger enforcement of its terms to political opposition or support for Trump generating lies on top of lies in a confusing tangle of fights and wars of words over, of all things, financial support from George Soros.

To quote another member of the board here, "You can't make this stuff up."

And then there's this, on one of their other scandals related to sexual abuse. Though justifiably fired from Southwestern Seminary, Paige Patterson, as one of the architects of the conservative resurgence, still has a following who are willing to ignore his bad behavior related to handling sexual abuse reports, the Gilyard controversy and what has been a complete cover up of the disaster he perpetrated on Southwestern Seminary.

The lack of integrity is bound to have some kind of fallout.

Not sure what you mean by your last sentence.

And Soros unabashedly used his knowledge of Esperanto to cross the Iron Curtain, bringing his Molotov-tainted brand of wealth management to the UK and eventually the Free World. And many Esperanto-speakers—perhaps including Soros!!—support gay marriage.

Where will it all end?

BTW, if you want to see the nutty right wing fringe, go read "Pulpit and Pen." They think the SBC leadership is rife with wild eyed liberals apparently. (Be ready to laugh, or take an antacid before reading.)

Apparently, even they have detractors, which is why these people can't ever be in some kind of fellowship for any length of time.

All of this reminds me of Tony Campolo's prediction at the Southern Baptist Forum back in the early 1970's. I don't have the exact quote, but the gist was that the SBC was on a quest to create such a pure denomination in Dixie that meetings could be held in the front seat of a car. He may still be right.
