Talk:Homosexuality and Baptist churches

message: I propose that the following changes be made: The word “acknowledge” in paragraph two should be replaced by “believe”.  In the next sentence, I labeled “along with all other Christian denominations, universally…” as in need of citing a source, at the least. The words “all” and “universally” may need to be modified or reduced to one word. The word “liberal” needs to be qualified and/or changed in reference to inclusiveness of homosexuality in the final bullet of the listing of Baptist denominations (see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Log_Cabin_Republicans for instance).

message: 1)  I'll write a lead for the article.
2)  I'd like to see the sections on organizations and denominations cleaned up a bit. and possibly broken up into a few individual sections... US Orgs, International Orgs, and Independent.  The reason for this is to make it a bit easier for users to navigate and for editors to have a better framework to indicate where best to add an entry.
3)  Remove Westboro Baptist Church from the list of Baptist organizations and denominations.  I cannot seem to find any Babtist organization or denomination with like viewpoints.  From the WBC website, they appear to be so far out in left field that they can't even see the ballpark.  From the membership list and news stories found on the internet, it appears that the church membership is all related to the church founder by either blood or marriage.  I believe that this is commonly defined as a "cult".
4)  OBSERVATION: I notice that the lead-in statement is made here that "... Independent Baptist churches which are not part of an organization and have their own doctrinal statements and beliefs."  That's fine, as far as it goes, except that their doctrinal beliefs are merely alluded to, but not clarified or defined. Independent Baptist churches, by their very nature, are typically strongly conservative and fundamental, including their beliefs on homosexual marriage of any kind, as well as allowing or promoting homosexual ordination, since these practices are blatantly contrary to the plain teaching of scripture.  They do, however, welcome rank and file church membership of repentant former adherents.  SUGGESTION: Why not elaborate briefly on the position of Independent Baptist churches, which pretty-much lines up with that of the conservative element of the Southern Baptist Convention of Churches?

message: The section on Positions is self-contradictory.  For example: American Baptist Churches USA is listed both under the section Conservative position and Liberal position. 
Other confusion: the term American Baptist Churches in the USA is used as if it were different than American Baptist Churches in the USA. Mathglot (talk) 22:01, 26 September 2018 (UTC)
