OUR OPPOSITION SPEAKS
J. Walt Carpenter edits a newsletter committed
to a fundamentalist takeover of the
BGCT. In one of his articles he writes the
following about Texas Baptists. We share it
with you in our newsletter so that you can
better understand the mentality of those now
in control of the SBC and who want to control
the BGCT.
He writes (and we quote):
Texas: a microcosm of the problem
As I am most familiar with Texas, let me
start there. The liberal paper in Texas called
Texas Baptists Committed flatly stated, “We
do not trust SBC leaders.” The Baptist General
Convention of Texas (“BGCT”) is dominated
by a Baylor political machine that would
be the envy of Tammany Hall. They despise
the conservative resurgence. This is because
of their rejection of Biblical inerrancy and
their paranoia of anyone with a high view of
Scripture.
Most Baylor/Truett professors miss no
opportunity gleefully to deride biblical inerrancy…
This major pocket of resistance has a
time problem, as most of the support comes
from Baylor graduates in their 60s. Most
younger graduates have lost interest in denominational
life, as you likely would as well if
you worshiped a Lord who was confused and
made mistakes and relied on a Bible that was
full of error.
*Editor’s note: It is hard to trust people who
call Richard Jackson and Russell Dilday liberals,
who attack people’s integrity and character,
fire people, and who refuse to respect the desires
of local churches in mission giving.
