N.C. Baptists Poised to Approve Strict Policy on Homosexuality
According to the Associated Press, delegates at the Baptist State Convention
of North Carolina are expected this week to approve a policy that would
prohibit membership for churches or affiliate groups that endorse
homosexuality. The policy, proposed by the convention's board of directors
earlier this year, would forbid churches from ordaining gay clergy, making
public statements supporting homosexuality or accepting openly gay
churchgoers as members. The proposal is believed to be the first of its kind
in the country.
Ok, this ain't working for me. Each church has a right to do, under God,
what it feels led, by God, to do. No state convention has the right to tell
a church what do to. Now if they don't want churches who endorse
homosexuality to be a part of their small, fundy convention, they have that
right. But they can't tell the churches what to do. That is, unless, we want
a papacy.

hmm whether or not you agree with a lifestyle - I was always raised that we are all sinners. That statement alone speaks volumes. Not a very Christian attitude in my opinion.
you are right. I mean, if they are willing to repent and get help for their sin, they should be allowed in the church. Ah, but then what of the gossips in the church?
Exactly so. Strange - I always thought Church was FOR sinners. There are many many more sins than that. Wonder if they will start banning all the others also. Would be interesting to see who is left standing in their opinion....
Oh, I agree, but people should be working and allowing God to turn them from sin. To continue to participate in sin without seeking to extinquish it shows a lack of want to please God.
Oh, it was good to see you last weekend.
Sorry but unless you went out of State and were in my town - you did not see me.
Sorry, I do seem to attract friends with your points of view. Thought you were a friend from college days.
