      You said Baptist, not Southern Baptist. They are a different thing.

        Jesus Christ you are something else. Fine citation needed that BAPTIST are pro-LGBT. There, can you do that now or is there some other dodge you would like to try first?

          Some baptists are pro lgbt. Some aren’t. The LGBT question doesn’t define what being a baptist is.

                To mine, me. Jesus Christ, how did you see this going? You are going to convince me that they aren’t foaming at the mouth homophobes by trying to find some other religion that is even more so?

                You can’t bullshit me on this. I have been around and attended Baptist services throughout my childhood. I know what their stance is on this issue because I have seen it. People who openly call gay people slurs I won’t repeat, who joke and celebrate HIV.

                  That’s not an okay thing to do within and according to Christianity. And that’s not all baptists, either.

                    Very well. Please show me the passages that backup your claim. You can use English, been a while since I studied Greek. I will start

                    Do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived. Neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor homosexuals, nor sodomites, nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners will inherit the kingdom of God. And such were some of you. But you were washed, but you were sanctified, but you were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus and by the Spirit of our God.

                    Is NKJV acceptable translation for you? I know the NIV is a bit more accurate so I understand if you want to use that instead.
