ABCUSA NOW A MUSEUM EXHIBIT

The American Baptist Churches in the USA is already there in the museum of unlive things right between the bones of the Tyrannosaurus Rex and the dinosaur formerly known as Brontosaurus. I'd say a denomination is a gathering of churches around the truth of the Bible, for the purposes of working together to make that truth known to all the world. That truth is Jesus, of course, and He brings into the lives of His followers what the early disciples and the writers of scripture called “the way.” For Christians and their denominations there is a way of belief and behavior, and those things are laid out plainly in the Word of God, the Bible. When a denomination like ABCUSA (claiming to be Christian, biblical, and evangelical) turns against specific teachings of the Bible, because to follow such teachings would be politically incorrect in an unbelieving world, it virtually assures itself an agonizing death and a skeletal reference in the museum. The General Secretary’s address at the Denver Biennial (2005) was the meteorite that whacked this dinosaur.
