Remember, folks, the reason the SBC split from mainline baptists was because of slavery.
The northern Baptist’s were opposed to slavery and southern baptists saw slave owners as “missionaries”. That is, people whose job is to “proselytize” the Baptist leadership at the time was dominated by the north and rejected slave owners as missionaries, and so the asshole southerners split off. Cuz they didn’t want to give up their slaves.
So fuck the SBC in particular.
I mentioned above that I grew up Southern Baptist (not only as a church member, but also educated from preschool through high school at a Southern Baptist school; also attended two undergraduate schools with SBC roots) and guess what? They NEVER taught us this history. Wasn't until I started paying attention to things that I began to really wonder why the "Southern" was in our name...
Remember also the slavers gave slaves a different Bible than the slavers had, so slaves wouldn't get ideas.
To be clear, they removed some things from the Bible that might promote ideas like freedom and liberty.
I don't believe they added or changed anything (beyond typical translation issues). Because they didn't really have to, did they? The Bible basically contains an instruction manual for raping and beating your slaves
Every time the Bible was translated, it was with unintentional errors and the political slant of the current ruler.
I spent a lot of time in SBC. 2026, they will not perform an interracial marriage for their congregation.
They are the cells of MAGA. Fuck them and I hope hell is real just for them.
