I re-start my Blogging with a disturbing development with
the Southern Baptist Church.
It has been
several days now and I am still as disturbed as I first was when I seen it.
As an evangelist
this movement is going counter-clockwise to the clock-wise direction of
evangelism. It not only un-do’s what we preach in evangelizing but it add fuel
to the fires of false religions.
Russell Moore – Mosque Video
I watched this recorded YouTube video on June 16 2016.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=youtu.be&v=BuGxOE0Vy1g&app=desktop
What I seen shocked me.
I thought I was watching Obama’s snarky press secretary, shoot down a Fox news
reporter who had a legitimate question, with a stupid and arrogant reply.
But I was watching a SBC Pastor ask a legitimate question
to Russell Moore.
Then I watched Russell Moore not only arrogantly shoot
down his question, but he basically “belittled” this Pastor.
Moore’s response that “Sometimes we have really hard
decisions to make. This isn’t one
of those things” was nothing but Pride at its worst.
He said this to a SBC Pastor raising a concern, but the
Pastor was squashed like he was an annoying bug.
Then Moore went on what seemed to me, to be a gloating
session, basking in the mindless applause he was getting for stifling a legit
question.
In his "snarky" response, Moore went on to say and define his
version of what it means to be a Baptist by saying
“What it means to be a Baptist is to support
soul freedom for everybody.”
I say “his version” because that is what it is, although
he paints a broad brush implying that if you are a Baptist, then you must think
this way.
Now, did you catch that? ??? Moore says Baptists are to Support something he calls Soul
freedom? And he adds for Everybody!
Remember now that he is specifically defending the “new”
association that he and the “New SBC Hierarchy” are ushering in to the SBC.
Can you say Universalism and Co-Exist??? Does he have one of those bumper stickers
on his car? Is the COESIST symbol to be
the new SBC icon?
Let’s take a step back…
Last week when I heard of Russell Moore’s approving of
the Mosque issue in NYC, I had doubts of his firm stance on Christianity's 1st and 2nd
Commandment. Not doubts of his Christianity, and I had even phrased it to other that it
seemed like he wasn’t on the wrong path, but that the current steps he was taking in
defending this association with Muslims were a steps off the path. Perhaps they were
mis-steps, the start of a possible wandering away from the truth as I see that
this is NOT a matter of a non-essential issue, but one of an essential issue.
This starts off with I believe a shunning of the 1st
and 2nd commandments.
But I was giving him the benefit of a doubt, and
waited for a further clarification.
This is before I seen this display of Prideful Arrogance
and his standing next to whom I will refer to as mini-Benny Hinn, Ronnie Floyd
(see Links below).
After seeing and watching this exchange, it looks like
Russell Moore actually has both feet and eyes focused on the Universalism and
American Christianity path. One that will enable the cash-flow from both
existing and new churches to continue to flow into their cause.
It is a hard image for me seeing the pure Pride and the
Blind Following that led to the belittling of the Pastor from Amarillo Arkansas. This
new stance has made me put the SBC into the Category of Churches Not to attend
unless vetted out by a true believer.
I realize that Russell Moore does NOT necessarily speak
for all SBC churches, but this places those Churches in a position where they
are now funding and supporting false religions. Something that many in the past
have been Martyred over. That’s right, many have chosen death and had the faith
that God will keep His church rather than fall into a compromise with
Universalism as is being done here.
Yes, I am greatly disturbed in seeing the SBC become
another Universalism Church.

Ronnie Floyd
Naming and claiming at the SBC
Ronnie Floyd - SBC MegaChurch Says LGBT Community is the
Chief Cornerstone
Ronnie
Floyd “named” the promise of “raising dry bones to life”, and then later
“claimed” it in the name of Jesus.
(Yeah.
No. I’m not kidding. No Gospel proclamation needed, just a name it
and claim it procedure.)
Not
only did Floyd, and others, “name it and
claim it” on a multitude of wrongly-interpreted “promises” of Scripture, he led
the assembled to “pray down racism” – however one does that – and prayed
for “hedges of protection” to be divinely strewn all around – again,
disregarding the assurance we have from Christ’s high priestly prayer.
See
Sermon he gave - (the event was broadcast on DayStar, sandwiched between
“Breakthrough With Rod Parsley” and “Discover the Champion Within” Joel
Osteen)
