THERE ARE MANY SCRIPTURAL REFERENCES TO SUPPORT MY VIEW, BUT 1 IS SIMPLE DEALING WITH THE TARES AND THE WHEAT MT. 13:29,30. OUR JOB IS TO TRY TO LEAD PEOPLE TO SALVATION, NOT PRAY FOR THEM TO GO TO HELL.

It doesn't matter to me who wins. I disagree with Pastor Johnny on several matters but I could not imagine him saying what you said that he said. Could you provide any proof or a link to where he told us to ignore scripture? Sincerely, ABClay Robert,

Yet, for you to say Johnny Hunt has told us to ignore Scripture is just not true. He may not adhere to the same view of specific doctrines as do you or me, for that matter, but he would never tell you or anybody to ignore Scripture. Frankly, I don't think any man who is currently a candidate for the position of president of the SBC would say such a thing. Maybe you are just saying this to get a rise from someone. Well, it really did not work here. I would have said this to you even if Johnny Hunt was my blood oath enemy. And he is not. What you have said is just simply not true and that is all there is to it. cb Robert,

First of all, I am NOT for women preachers. Secondly, I am for FRANK COX and his daughter is just now finishing high school and has no intentions of being a preacher. But I do think that our folks are unfair to criticize Wiley Drake or Avery Willis for their respective daughter's serving as pastors, if the men themselves do not condone women pastors. My children are 22 and 19 and are great children. However, if one of them did something drastic such as join a CBF church, vote Democratic, or pull for Auburn, would that be my fault? BTW, those are about the worst three actions I can imagine. I suppose I will offend some of my best friends on this one.
