Next thing you know these Baptist will even stoop to writing a liturgy to celebrate these errors and heresies.

....and don't forget who was hugging and kissing the wife of Arafat......

I wonder what Hill's 'girl' friend thought of that, Bill didn't care, he was to busy with his gal pals to worry about Hill....

Yes I heard about this convocation, soomething about a retreat, and prayer gathering in a place called Jonestown, something about coolaid.......?

Let MY people go?

BJ and Carter?I hope they have plenty of lightning rods around, or the Almighty might be prone to having a chicken fry. Is Jesse Jackson in on this? And why not? Good question. Jesse might smell the ozone.

"This is a historic event for the Baptists in this country and perhaps for Christianity," Carter said at a press conference announcing the convocation.

I was concerned that Jimmah has lost his marbles after his book come out. Maybe Dementia had set in. He is old after all.

Now I am sure he has some form of Dementia.

Someone in his family needs to sit him down and explain he is making a complete fool of himself and whatever respect he had, the little bit he had left, is now slipping away.

Even though, I completely disagree with just about every political position he stands for, he is after all, a former POTUS.

His behavior reflects on all American people.

Can you imagine what the media would do if Reagan acted like Carter?

The best thing that ever happened to the Southern Baptist Association was when jimmy carter left.

As far as I am concerned,every individual that leaves the SBA to follow them; it is good riddance.

[Telepathic Intruder]

What a sordid soap opera those two make. I wonder what its ratings would be on HBO.

[sport]

I would not put too much emphasis on that.

If they were dumb enough to be snookered by carter, they are not too bright in the first place.

[sport]

Other than the main stream media, college professors, and in clinton's case a few whores who if they are not already loaded with veneral diseases will be after a few sessions whith him.

After reading this and the posts that followed, I have to say that the wrong group of people is being cited here. It is the Cooperative Baptist Fellowship that Carter (and Clinton?) is part of. Carter pulled out after the Southern Baptist Convention turned strict in the 1990's. The Cooperative Baptist Fellowship was formed after the moderate Southern Baptists became disenchanted with the stricter ones.

Doesn’t the Bible have some rather nasty things to say about the fate in the after life of those who cause divisions in the church

There are six things "the Lord hates," including "a heart that devises wicked plans… a false witness who speaks lies, and one who sows discord among brethren" (Prov. 6:16-19).

ROFL! (Twice!)

I can't believe I listened to the whole Carter eulogy. My husband had to leave the room. It reminded me of Bill Clinton..."I, I, I, we, we, we".

In his eulogy to Jerry Ford, Carter said he and Jerry Ford were working to "achieve reconciliation" in their churches...Ford in the Episcopal and Carter in the Baptist. Here is what he said:

It is true that Jerry and I shared a common commitment to our religious faith, not just in worshipping the same savior, but in attempting, in our own personal way, to achieve reconciliation within our respective denominations.

We took to heart the admonition of the Apostle Paul that Christians should not be divided over seemingly important, but tangential issues, including sexual preferences and the role of women in the church, things like that.

We both felt that Episcopalians, Baptists and others should live together in harmony, within the adequate and common belief that we are saved by the grace of God through our faith in Jesus Christ.

>>Jimmy Carter: We took to heart the admonition of the Apostle Paul that Christians should not be divided over seemingly important, but tangential issues, including sexual preferences and the role of women in the church, things like that.

Hmmm... "things like that" were more than "seemingly important" to Paul! From his first letter to the Corinthians, chapter 6, v9,10:

"Know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Be not deceived: neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor abusers of themselves with mankind, Nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners, shall inherit the kingdom of God."

And in I Timothy 2, verse 11-14: "In like manner also, that women adorn themselves in modest apparel, with shamefacedness and sobriety; not with broided hair, or gold, or pearls, or costly array; But (which becometh women professing godliness) with good works. Let the woman learn in silence with all subjection. But I suffer not a woman to teach, nor to usurp authority over the man, but to be in silence."

I think I'd have to go with the Word of God over the secular false teachings of Jimmy Carter and Bill Clinton on this one!

But, who's kidding who... like everything else Slick Willie and the Peanut do, this is a cynical political ploy, not true religion.

If I were Jimmuh and Klintoon, I would stay out of thunderstorms. The next bolt of lightning could have THEIR names on it. God is not pleased...

[Marysecretary]

Yes, there are people who call themselves Christians who don't want to be challenged by a pastor to live righteously, with purity, etc., etc. They don't like that kind of preaching and will welcome these two idiots.

[Jorge]

"For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears; 4 And they shall turn away their ears from the truth, and shall be turned unto fables."

Thank you!

This is EXACTLY what we are seeing today.

Anybody who knows scripture and believes God can see how far so called "Christians" are wandering from the TRUTH.

Those who aren't grounded in God's Word are so easily deceived.

"Doesn’t the Bible have some rather nasty things to say about the fate in the after life of those who cause divisions in the church"

Yes,...and there are millstones involved, if I recall correctly.

The likes of Carter and Clinton are Secular Humanists. They probably would refute the existence of evil and of Hell.

Unfortunately, Jesus mentioned these things on numerous occasions. I'm guessing my Evangelical friends could quote exactly where and how many times Our Lord mentioned such things.
