Don,

What shocks me is that this is coming from the top levels of a Southern Baptist seminary (SBTS, in fact).   And that a whole seminary faculty can listen to this stuff and not be up in arms.  And that all but for about no more than 10 people (Cheryl and I included in that number!) say anything about it.  And the rest of the church marches on, asleep.

Though I grew up in the Pentecostal Church, I always had the utmost respect for the Southern Baptists and their dedication to the Word of God, the “people of the Book.”  I went to a Christian highschool that used ACE curricullum (basically Baptist), and it was so sound and good.  I attended a huge Baptist Church in Louisiana in the ’90s, and I was crushed to discover how Biblically illiterate most people there were.  Eighteen years later, if my experience there was anything like the state of affairs anywhere else, I’m not surprised that Ware’s teachings have gone unchallenged.

I’m deeply grieved at the state of affairs of the church anyway, but to witness all this in the SBC really disappoints me.  This is a very sad commentary on the whole Evangelical church.

But I have to wonder why there are only 10 or so people up in arms over subordinationism and not at least 10,000.  Maybe I don’t even want to know the answers.
