SBC Tomorrow: Sticks Stones: Baptists Calling Other Baptists Names

My esteemed friend Peter Lumpkins recently blogged about Baptist in-fighting: Sticks & Stones: Baptists Calling Other Baptists Names. Peter wrote, "It's interesting to me how we Baptists can talk about taking the Bible literally but brush it aside so easily in our moments of outrage." I wish it were just Baptists Peter but it's not. It's Anglicans & Episcopalians, Lutherans, Catholics and Methodists -- even the name Methodist was once a derogatory slur. I think in general Christians need to learn to fight better. We appear to be such idiots when we stoop to name calling. I'm guilty too. I've mentioned plenty of times about my "Baptist allergy". Even in my last post I called Episcopal leaders "knuckleheads" -- as Peter noted, "All said in Christian love, of course." Shame on me. Lord have mercy.
