We in the SBC have done things that contradict ourselves on this issue for years. We pick and chose when to use the divorce issue. For example at the IMB we say you cannot be divorced and be appointed a missionary. At the same time we allow divorced persons to be appointed at ISC or Masters missionaires. The only real difference between the career and ISC/Masters missionaries is salary. In other words we do not keep them from being a missionary we just punish them financially.<BR/><BR/>I do not want to get away from the subject of this post but I have emailed you twice on this issue and you have not responded. You and Volfan often repeat the same argument for the CR and list several situations you say you personally observed. Here is an example.<BR/> Dave Miller Says: <BR/>August 5th, 2008 at 4:41 pm <BR/>I had the professors in college and seminary who RC above denies existed. They were very real to me. they took salaries from Baptist organizations funded by the offerings of Baptist people and tried to undermine the faith of Baptist young people (they called it enlightenment, I call it undermining). <BR/><BR/>I was there. I listened to them. I was shouted out by them and ridiculed by them because I believe that the Bible’s teachings are true theologically and historically. <BR/><BR/>I am passionate about the CR because I saw the spiritual and moral decay of people I started college with. I saw them in turn from young men and women who wanted to glorify God to men and women of skepticism and cynicism. I saw it first hand. <BR/><BR/>Yes, RC, there were men and women who were falsely accused. There were Bible-believers whose faith was called into question because they supported the status-quo (moderate/liberal in those days) instead of the CR. I opposed that even back then. <BR/><BR/>But I heard it, saw it, felt it, and came to know the effects of liberalism in our educational institutions. <BR/>------------------------<BR/>I asked you to give me the name of the professor and school and dates for the example of you gave of one who denied the truth of the Bible and later taught at MidWestern after leaving your college. Please do so.<BR/>I would also like to hear more, including names and dates of those who shouted at you and ridiculed you because you believe the Bible's teaching are true. Were these professors the majority at your school or one or two exceptions?<BR/>I guess my reasoning for being passionately opposed to the CR is the same as your for being passionatelly for it. I can not imagine the things you say happening at the Baptist College I attended, Ouachita, or the seminary, SWBTS, when I was there. I have witnessed supporters of the CR shouting out and ridiculing those who oppose the conservative resurgence. Not because they supported the status quo or moderate or liberal theology but because they spoke the truth. I am a theological conservative and an inerrantist. My belief in the Bible will not let me support an organization that relies so much on slander and carnal behavior. I have tired to name names and give actual situations. For example, Ron Wilson and Bill Hancock at the IMB, Ollin Collins at SWBTS, Roger Moran at the Exec Comm and others. I hope you and Volfan will do the same.
