I was reading just the other day that T.B. Maston strongly believed that ordination was not biblical.

Maybe that’s the answer!

I must ask myself and you:

Which is less biblical? Invoking imprecatory prayer or ordaining church leaders who are openly practicing homosexuals?

We probably shouldn’t be doing either.

Excuse me, that should read that I don’t hate religion per se. What I hate is American ORGANIZED religion that allows stuff like this to go unpunished. Too many churches in my area have become infomercial locations for the GOP not GOD!

What a load of crap the SBC is and all these religious creeps who claim to be right at “God’s right hand”. Must be nice to have a tax-free job and be able to use it to publicly “pray” for someone to die. Isn’t this what Osama Bin Ladin did before 9/11? Why don’t Wiley get charged at least with harassment for making comments on Murtha’s family? This is why I hate religion-too many idiots, hypocrites and people who belong in an asylum, not preaching!

Worley: Ask the Jews from Germany ….

Anne: Americans passed healthcare today.

Marie: No; it can’t be!

Frank: I can’t imagine anything worse. Boy, do we have it good.

Generally, on the rare occasions that messengers from specific churches are refused seating, it is because of something related to the definition of their status as a “cooperating” Southern Baptist church, rather than over some political issue, or this kind of insanity. It would be hard for someone to make the case that advocating for “imprecatory prayer,” regardless of how silly, embarassing, or heretical it might be, is a condition related to “cooperation” with the SBC.

Messengers to the SBC can refuse to seat messengers from a specific church. It’s been done before. Drake’s congregation is quite tiny. I would guess that Wiley and maybe his wife are the only messengers sent from that church each year.
