My point was that history is history. There is no reason to pick out negatives and apply them to today's Baptist denomination in a way of portraying us as uncaring, unloving or inactive people. The split of our denomination (conservatives versus liberals) happened almost 30 years ago and there is still anger and resentment being held by the liberals. That should not be. We all have to forgive and move on. As for politics, conservatives are accused of using the church to the benefit of Republicans and that is just because we stand for moral values. I happened to have been a Democrat for almost 50 years. I left the party because I abhor abortion and I believe the Bible and it's Word teaches that a family is made up of a man, woman and children if they have any.<br/>You called me annoysome, on purpose. I realize it may annoy you to have someone not see things your way, but I have been on the other side (where you now stand -Democrat) and I will obey God rather than man. Now if you want to disalow my comments, do you value free speech? You are forming your opinion of me as though I don’t care about history and that is not correct.

You clearly demonstrated that you do not care the slightest bit about history. Unlike you, D.R. contributed to the substance of the post. Instead of offering intellectual criticisms, you chose to attack the salvation of an ordained minister and professor of Church History! Further, the discussion concerned Baptists and John Leland not the Democratic Party. Why such a cheap and uncalled for potshot???<br/><br/>I've read several of your comments before at Mainstream Baptist and Mainstream Baptists. Mam, you are a troll.

You made a rude remark to me and they will not print my reply to you. You also asked me a question and my reply does not get printed. I imagine you will read what I posted as you are one of them and probably get to decide which ones are worthy of being posted. Insult away, sonny boy, I'm old enough to be your grandmother.

I'll offer it below. Wilkey is extreme. The BJC is a radical leftist organization? Come on.<br/><br/><br/>Fundamentalists emphasized the importance of beliefs—doctrinal orthodoxy—and accountability usually through the use of creeds. Fundamentalism also refers to an attitude of no compromise and no toleration of dissent. In contrast to conservatives who often have similar doctrinal convictions but are willing to find unity of mission amidst diversity, fundamentalists adopt a “my way or no way” attitude toward cooperation. Or as some say it, the only way to cooperate with a fundamentalist is to obey him. I’m consistent on my definition of fudamentalism. I’ll offer it below. Wilkey is extreme.

Since we have no desire to endorse a candidate (although we'd love Bush and his supporters to be removed from office), we wouldn't perceive this to be a threat at all, but a much needed reminder. “pastors throughout Missouri have received a letter reminding them not to endorse candidates in the Nov. 7 election”

I don't think it matters or accomplishes much.
