Female Pastors, Cultural Chaos: Dr. Albert Mohler Breaks Down Situation Facing SBC as Meeting Begins
Вставка
- Опубліковано 27 чер 2024
- Dr. Albert Mohler Jr., a prominent theologian and president of the Southern Baptist Theological Seminary, detailed what he believes is the most pressing issue facing the church today and said it is "the bottom-line question of faithfulness." "Is the church going to preach the Gospel of Jesus Christ - stand by the entirety of biblical truth?" he asked. "Everything else basically is derivative of that great challenge, and you can say that it's been the perpetual challenge of the church - and will be until Jesus comes."
Throughout church history, Mohler said there are times the faith is "tested from many different sides, on many different issues, many different dimensions at one time." He believes the faith faces one such moment today. Mohler also said he's "hopeful" but also "honest" about the massive issues facing Southern Baptists as the denomination gathers this week for its annual meeting.
"I don't think anybody's got an easy way forward," Mohler told CBN's Faithwire last month during the National Religious Broadcasters Convention. "If you're serious about doing anything, you're going to have controversy." The faith leader said the Southern Baptist Convention's (SBC) 2023 Annual Meeting & Pastors’ Conference, which kicks off today and concludes Wednesday in New Orleans, is unfolding during a time of deep disagreements within Baptist circles.
"Some of them are kind of surface-level [issues]; some of them are deeper," Mohler said. "And I think we're now at some deeper ... issues of disagreement, particularly over women serving as pastors, particularly over how to approach these big cultural issues [and] how to speak publicly about them." The issue of female pastors is one of the most publicized controversies after the SBC's Executive Committee voted to oust five churches, including California megachurch Saddleback Church, founded by Rick Warren.
Saddleback and one other church are appealing the decision at this week's meeting. Mohler said he's a "conservative confessionalist" and believes everything comes down to the inherency of Scripture and the importance of defending the faith. "I don't think there's any way to make the world like us more," he added. "We need not to be obnoxious. Yes, we need to be kind and respectful, but the fact is the world's not going to like us a whole lot more for being respectful."
Watch Mohler discuss a plethora of other faith and culture topics as well.

The number one problem facing the church Today is a lack of biblical knowledge and the willingness to obey God’s word, no matter what the cost.
Is it a lack of Biblical knowledge or a lack of spiritual discernment?
@@josephtidwell8036 I don’t think you can have discernment without knowing the Bible, but you’re right it’s both. I would encourage everybody to look up the word knowledge in the dictionary the meaning is much deeper than the surface understanding we all have.
One feeds off the other
@@josephtidwell8036 spiritual discernment only comes with Bible knowledge and the Holy Spirit prompting you with that truth
Very well said!
Great conversation. Churches need to preach the Biblical truth and don't bend to the world view. Many church's today are literally putting on shows.
When you haul out the smoke machines, electric guitars, and drum set and it can be heard across the street, you have a concert, not a place of worship.
@@privacyvalued4134do not forget the lights, some churches lights are of a nightclub, not church.
There all businesses.
@@laurenmay2098 look up the history of the song Amazing Grace.
@Privacy Valued praise him with the loud cymbals. Why do you want to hide your faith?
We are to share the Word, the Truth, the Gospel with everyone. If someone hates us for sharing the Gospel, so what? Just get up, wipe the dust off your feet, and continue preaching to others who don't know Jesus yet.👉📖
If they hate you just remember they hatred me first. It is essential we tell people the biblical truth. God bless 🙂
I've had a few very nice, well spoken people, come to my door and share the Word/Truth with me. Each one was able to use The Bible to show that they were right in their interpretations by quoting verse. If the other two didn't come by, it wouldn't have been as confusing. Each denomination said that they were absolutely right and all others were wrong. They were each, very serious and steadfast in their claims. The problem, to me, were the contradictions.
Gary, how much do you know Jesus? According to the new testament those who know Jesus lived with him and walked with him and learned directly from him! ...while also to know what Jesus kept dear to his heart, he studied the hebrew torah and tanakh, so Jesus kept the laws and to other to repent and sin no more, then why dont the christians learn about the 613 holy commandments, and learn and teach them?
@@julianmontoya428because Jesus taught that the law was would finally be fulfilled
( by Jesus) then that would make a way of forgiveness through grace and faith in Christs fulfilling of the law.
Nice!!!!
Mohler hit the nail on the head here!
VERY GOOD interview! ...I'm glad I watched it.
" Biology does not bend to Ideology " Great quote.
Yes. The ideology is the pure simplicity of Genesis, biological research shows that human beings are more complex than "man and woman".

@@ronsmith8842 Is that the most coherent thought you could muster?
i belong to a small church in which we study an entire book of the bible from start to end. My pastor takes each verse and exponds on it. I've never felt like I do in this setting. Refreshed each Sunday.
as myself
We have to pray without seizing. We have to establish our personal relationship with Jesus and keep our eyes in Him 24/7. Read the Word God often. Put on the armor of God before you go anywhere! Plead the blood of Jesus over yourself and family faithfully.
Pray without "seizing?" Hmmm....😅

What a refreshing interview to listen to. A man of God, holding fast to the Word of God and boldly, yet gently, declaring the truth in the world we are living in.
This guy is sharp, I like him.
thankyou for standing up for Jesus christ our saviour in these confusing Babilonian times of the end .
Im a female and i believe in this:
2 Timothy 3:16-17
English Standard Version
16 All Scripture is breathed out by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, and for training in righteousness, 17 that the man of God[a] may be complete, equipped for every good work.
1 Timothy 2:11-15
English Standard Version
11 Let a woman learn quietly with all submissiveness. 12 I do not permit a woman to teach or to exercise authority over a man; rather, she is to remain quiet. 13 For Adam was formed first, then Eve; 14 and Adam was not deceived, but the woman was deceived and became a transgressor. 15 Yet she will be saved through childbearing-if they continue in faith and love and holiness, with self-control.
All the words that are on our Bible, are inspired by God and for so, we have to respect them and follow them and obey His commandments in a humble way🙏 we cant conform to this age we have to keep obeying Gods word.
Great interview, thanks for sharing this.
I am not a Baptist, but I love Dr. MOHLER
It's easy to see why church attendance has been on the decline.
Just a bunch of Dinosaurs clinging onto power by any means.
yeah COVID ?
They're corrupted at the core.
Ignorant parents trying to dictate the curriculum to fit their religious views.

Judgement begins in the house of God
Amen! And, "The LORD shall judge His people." It's not like we haven't been warned.
@@GizmoFromPizmo Matthew 7:3-5
Exactly
Yes exactly what's happening to Hillsong Church.
I am not Baptist, but I thoroughly enjoyed listening to this interview. Glad this man is a leader. Sounds like his head, heart, and spirit are on straight.
Mohler is actually extremely liberal. He is not all that he seems. Listen to the testimony of the many students and faculty who have left his seminary because of it.
@@a5dr3
I hear that routinely, and I have to respectfully disagree. Yes, I wish he had signed that statement condemning the social justice movement, but he is NOWHERE in the same category as Tim Keller or Matt Chandler. Those men are/were wolves and should absolutely be called out.
@@patrickc3419 That’s funny because I always defend Tim. I think he is usually misunderstood. Ultimately he was just trying to clearly divide Christianity from moralism and the Neo Cons, although I often criticized the church culture in person.
@@a5dr3
No, I get what you’re saying. My main concerns with him (and I HOPE he was genuinely born again before his passing) was his belief in theistic evolution, consistent reluctance to condemn homosexuality, and, if you’ve never seen it, a disastrous interview he did in the 2010s where he really waffled on the exclusivity of Christianity.
Ultimately, regardless of who our favorite past or contemporary theologians are, we should remember Isaiah 2:22- ‘Put not your trust in man, who has but a breath of air in his nostrils; on what account is he?’
@@patrickc3419 I knew him a little bit. Over the years I actually got to spend a lot of time with him. - His philosophy was you catch more flies with honey, and that Christians should be salt of the earth and not condemnatory. I’ve also heard him criticize himself as a middle child who tried tried help people get along and instinctually avoided conflict. I also thought he should have took more of a stand on a lot of issues, but to my frustration he considered his ministry a unique one, almost a gateway church, and he played the part. - He was most definitely a Christian. I don’t think I know anyone who was as consistently in the Word and as prayerful. He was kind of on another level in that regard, like stories you hear about Luther or Edwards. In my personal estimation he was a spiritual giant.
One must remember that just about all of the churches & Christians written about in the New Testament lived in times where societies and governments were hostile toward them. By in large we have not known that here in the US on a larger scale, but yes that is changing.
Great interview CBN
I'm impressed by his candid commentary. This was refreshing.
"Optimism is presumptuous, hopefulness is Christian" wow, now that was quite a quote!
Optimism vs Hopefulness… SO True! Thank you for sharing 🙏🏻
This was a great interview to listen to
Well said. Thank you
Warm wisdom and biblical truth throughout. Thank you for the tremendous encouragement from Dr Mohler : the integrity of the Gospel. Dr Mohler went to the epicentre of the battle. Covid shook nations and churches and faithfulness came into sharper focus. Dr Mohler's hopefulness inspires me to praise our Lord and not become discouraged. Thanks again CBN!
As a conservative Methodist going through the disaffiliation, I would like to point out that having female clergy didn't seem like a big deal at first. But wait 15 years and then you have less authority because you Already aren't following the Word. So who are you to say 'But the Bible says'...
If this guy was truly a man of guy he would have quoted Jesus, who said "LOVE ONE ANOTHER AS MUCH AS YOU LOVE YOIRSELF."
Thank You for the interview
Great interview!
We just studied this subject in my Bible study class and The Bible talks about women and their spiritual gifts and how God uses women to do his will. Just to name 2 women Ruth and Ester plus so many more
Actually, it's not new. Paul wrote to the Ephisians they were having this problem. New women converts who used to worship Artimis, godess of fertility, were of the belief that women were over men. Paul's writings were to correct that way if thinking because these women did not know the word and they were leading people astray.
Our church was kept going for a few years with a female pastor. She gave good messages. Now there is a male. My denomination makes no distinction between male and female pastors. They say in Christ there is no distinction for preaching the gospel. Anyone can preach the truth.
@Jason Pierce
I will go to my grave thanking the 1970s women's liberation for the rights and freedoms that I now have because my generation lived under the boot of men like you.
@@Dustandfuzz please open your Bible to 1st Timothy 2:11-12. "A woman should learn in quietness and full submission. I do not permit a woman to teach or to have authority over a man; she must be silent."
@@fairedepeche🤣🤣And because of YOUR liberation you are seeing the rot of the country like President Lincoln talked about. I remember watching on tv people like you marching in the streets, burning their bras, because you wanted equal pay, treatment and fairness. Yet when I was in the Army out of a class of 100 at Fort Hood, not one female Soldier raised her hand to volunteer for a combat MOS and fight on the battlefield. Or what about PassPort Bros going overseas to find women to marry who aren’t tainted and poisoned with American womanism ideology. Why is it that 64% of men in this country tell women to cram marriage up their azz because no decent thinking man enters a marriage contract knowing that the woman is rewarded for breaking it. It’s obvious you are clueless on what the Bible says and God says for that matter about men and women. Just like in the Army there is ONE Commanding Officer and ONE Executive Officer. There is ONE leader leading and another backing him up. Just as God is head and leadership of man, man is head and leadership of woman. You can’t have two CEOs of a company and expect the company to succeed. Oh and let’s not forget about the time when I was stationed in South Korea as a tank commander gearing up for Iraq and my XO was telling me a story about his FEMALE Commander of a Patriot missile battery that Saddam Hussein was raining down scuds on their position and she was curled up in a ball in the fetal position crying and refused to give fire commands until he took over and gave the commands to fire back!! Yea that’s a woman for ya, failing at a time of need in combat!! So as far as I’m concerned you can take your feminism to the grave and on the way there shove it up your azz you m0r0n and while you’re at it go F YOURSELF!!!!!!
Thank you thank you thank you for having him on and for this interview. Christians really need to hear the truth about these things.
Beautiful part way through very interesting God bless this show in Jesus name Amen 🙏
Very interesting conversation..right on point
I would push back a little on the prediction that we will no longer discuss issues of gender as the tension tightens - we tried that with Don’t Ask Don’t Tell and it only fueled a narrowing of biology into ideology.
Our sins were forgiven on the cross 2000 years ago.
We are saved when we believe the gospel.
I Corinthians 15:1-4
Great interview
Great topics were discussed, well put, well said and the representation of CHRISTIANS and how we feel was so on point!! Thank you for this interview. Because this interview allows ALL OF US (Christians) to express ourselves.
WE HEAR YOU AND WE ARE WITH YOU!!
He is so right. In my area it is difficult to find a "Bible" church that preaches the entire Bible, including the message of the Gospel. The second problem in the church is the lack of "Biblical" fellowship.
Acts 2:42; Romans 12:9-13 🙏✝️
Which country are you in
there is a dearth of churches of the Lord that teach solid doctrines as admonished by the apostle Paul in his epistles - that is right exegesis as well as proper exposition or explanation of the Scriptures
True. And without the full gospel, the Word can't do what it's supposed to in you. So we get a lip service Faith lacking sincerity and truth.
You are so right. These churches are becoming social clubs. Repentance is not taught, nor is holy living, in America.
@@josettedc703 where? What state?
My dad who grew up in the 50s said the state we live in they wanted to build one campus in the middle of the state and have ALL kids go to school there, live there for 9 months of the year to educate kids to answer to the state and not the parents. Fortunately it never got passed in the Capitol.
Which state?
So was it deliberated in the state or federally?
Was it Utah?
It's important to name the state. It would be interesting to see what the agenda of that state is, today. It's unlikely they just gave up on that agenda. Those kinds of people rethink their approaches and throw it at the public over and over, until it sticks. So, what state?
Sounds like communism to me. It reminds me of something that Bill Clinton started in Arkansas, called the Governor's School, however that was not universal, but it was selective enrollment. However, as you might imagine, Clinton's school was accused of trying to brainwash the children.
Thank you very much Dr Molar,God Bless
Wow, so many good points packed into twenty minutes
Our posture should be HUMBLE ourselves and FEAR OF THE LORD!
I'm writing a book myself about Gender confusion in animals. It is more prevalent than one might think. 365 days ago, my pit bull came home drunk one night. He expressed to me that he thought he was really a chicken. I didn't waste any time; I immediately started feeding him chicken feed and put him on bark blockers. He started growing tail feathers. Now he sleeps in the hen house. Today, 365 days later, he started laying "pooched eggs"! I quickly taped his picture to a can of beer so he could celebrate! You may have a cat that jumps up on things, remember that cat might really be a monkey! Birds of a feather flock together. Don't flock with them!
Love the "bark blockers"! It's an entertaining rea!
🤦🏾♂️
Thank you for the wisdom.
Wise words!
Great interview.
The world will always hate us.
Even if you compromise.
It will never be enough for them.

It's nice to listen to such intelligent, Godly people. Thanks for the great upload👍
I grew up in the 60s and 70s and didn't think to tell my folks what we were taught. They didn't know what questions they should have asked.
Excellent!
Thank you Doctor Mohler for a Biblical conservative message in the present cultural confusion. Everybody should listen to this discussion and think deeply about the issues dealt with.
Everybody who believes women can’t lead is not paying attention to Jesus but adhering to what became the cultural norm after the end of the 2nd century
@@shulamite6128 Paul did preach that in the last days ppl wouldn’t tolerate good doctrine. Women pastors is a good example of poor doctrine. In fact, very much like Mormonism and other heresies
@@shulamite6128 It is written that Jesus treated women as equals and that women supported His ministry. In four cases, He used women as evangelists. You can believe that patriarchal reversal if you choose but you’re not looking at Timothy in the proper light. Quietness? Women were told to prophesy and not speak? Priscilla is mentioned first as to teaching Apollos and that establishes primacy. Hmmm……
@@shulamite6128 you really haven’t looked very hard. In Jesus eyes women and men were equal. Who was the first evangelist?
@@shulamite6128 Or being the husband of one wife as scripture says.

This leader in Christianity is speaking the Biblical Truth !
I wish he'd come and speak to the Church of England in the UK
Very enlightening . Pray for God to revive our hearts
Really good interview. I'm so blessed to hear from this man concerning these very serious cultural issues. Our times are very challenging and we cannot continue to pretend that it's business as usual. Most people don't want confrontation, we want peace to love our neighbors and raise our families, but harder times are coming and those gentle things will become more and more difficult. Jesus and God's Word has to become the focal point of our individual lives so that we have the strength and the hope to continue forward.
Well written
MAYBE CHURCHES SHOULD MAKE PRIVATE SCHOOL MORE AFFORDABLE.
God will not forget what is going on in America and everywhere in the world. People are accumulating money, land, houses. While some have nothing. We will be accountable to God. Churches didn’t do that in the beginning, oh no, they distributed their wealth and knowledge. So yes, the issues the church faces today is not gender, it is the social disparity between them and us.
Absolutely.
How do you expect teachers to get paid ? Most already struggle on low pay. Churches are not getting tithes right now. Perhaps homeschool… I did . I took in sewing so I could stay home.
@@flowerpower3618Catholic Churches seem to be doing just fine. Gold here. Gold there. Gold everywhere. Expensive plane trips to different countries. Religious institutions are tax exempt. If you can afford to stay home then you can afford to teach for free.

Man is building his church, and God is building His. There's a big difference between the body of Christ and a local church.
In that one is just a hand, finger, or even just a nerve ending, whereas the other is the whole body.
You need to discuss the big split in Methodist church over LGBT issue.
It's happening in the Catholic church too, with the church in Germany looking like it might split
How can the catholic church split when they're under the Pope
They’re actually splitting over the Bigotry Issue.
Amasing talk
Well said
Also for most people as much as they may try parents today are so harried and overwhelmed by just trying to survive they are barely aware of what their children are being influenced by. It is best not to put children in that situation by sending them to public school.
We keep forgetting that God is mighty, and sovereign. His sheep will be called and saved whether they go to public school or home school.
Not all seeds that are sown will grow and bear fruit. It depends what they are sown into.
Yea but we are called to be wise as stewards of our children. Do not test the Lord your God.
The Bible says in the last days there shall be a great falling away from the Faith, it should not surprise us people are turning away from the Faith
If we are going to use our Bible for a reference point.
Unfortunately in numerous places an explains the role of women in church.
Now if we're going to hold these scriptures as true it doesn't change in 2023 does it? ?
What is written in Galatians 3:28? 👉📖 There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither bond nor free, there is neither male nor female: for you are all one in Christ Jesus.
That verse was saying salvation is available to all. It doesn't mean a male can dress as a woman and it makes him a woman and vice versa. It's not only available to Greeks or to just men only. Aways need to look at the context in which it is written.

Could Albert Mahler have a word with the Archbishop of Canterbury please . Greetings from the UK
Yes indeed!
This is a great interview. Dr. Molher is a very lucid and thoughtful communicator. The CBN interviewer also was excellent
It's rare to find a church that even knows what the Gospel is nowadays much less one that preaches it in word and deed. 😢
Beautiful dialogue! :) Dr. Mohler is blessed with this gift of intellectual humor, and it's impressive to listen to his dignifying answers related to the worldly pressure on Christian values, and the speed of delivering those answers. :)
Praise the Lord for guiding His people !
Concerning LGBTQ, the Lord is not on their side! 👉📖 In Romans 1:26-32 the Lord gave them up to their vile passions.
God gave them up for destruction . By the time they understand that, the trap closes.
Well said.
Loved this. Started attending a Southern Baptist church after the United Methodists quit believing in authority and inerrancy of Scripture. Al Mohler is on point awesome!
I agree that Dr Mohler is a great man of God n is being greatly used by him
But what u changed denominations,why did u not consider a full gospel pentecostal church???
I was southern Baptist 38 years but oct 1980 recd, baptism of holy ghost n went where the holy spirit has freedom to work in body of christ ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Never had this volume of sin. Never taught filth to our children who are forced to go to school. Great falling away!!!!
I agree Amen brother

Excellent conversation!
I see a huge number of people seeking church today. The churches in my city and surrounding towns are bulging at the seams. People I never believed would go to church are. Its refreshing when church parking lots are more full than bar parking lots.
Mohler does not change, thankfully, because the word of God does not change.
I’m so glad Jesus is coming to make all things new 📖♥️🌎🕊✨
It's good to see dr Mohler stating he's a conservative. He lost a lot of credibility and influence over the last couple of years because of sitting on the fence. I just pray that he makes the right decisions. In his book "The disappearance of God" he has a great perspective on what is going on in the West right now and I was surprised to see his stance on issues like CRT. Interestingly enough he is also realising that the seeker friendly approach of Rick Warren is only producing numbers of fake converts.
Makes one wonder what changed? Or if it did? I watch cautiously.
💯
I agree with you comment regarding numbers. It was a social norm to attend church so everyone did. All the businesses were closed so there was little else to do. Unfortunately and I will add to our detriment that these norms are no longer in place. In short, I think that the number of true believers may essentially be the same as it was decades ago and those that really were never believers in the first place just no longer feel the pressure to attend.
Great show!
Very good conversation. "Biology does not bend to ideology." That's exactly what I have been thinking but he words it much better. He's also right about how it creeps up on your children. My daughter is 19 and has very different views than what I taught her. She's wearing a pin on her jacket that says "stop christian fascism". What is that?!
She is rebellious towards God, the Bible, God's Inspired Written Word. Like Most 'Proclaimed' Christians, She has a 'god' of her making. She makes comfortable with, in her mind.
Placing God at her feet, rather than bowing down beneath His throne.
Sadly many people follow the crowd, where ever they go.
True Christians, again sadly, are few as the way is Narrow.
✝️Amen
I have grown up in the Assemblies of God. I will say that I appreciate the Southern Baptists desire to not sway from Biblical teachings. Even at the cost of potential dwindling membership. I always remember, that Gideon kept on reducing his army clear down to 300. Numbers are not everything and not always a sign of spiritual strength!
This is bigger then morals. Pride month is the celebration of the spirit of Baal!
Home school them.
Mohler gets it! He's not perfect, but he has been a stalwart for decades. Thankful for my time at Southern Seminary
One of my favorite contemporary pastors/theologians. Now more than ever do Christ followers have to be salt & light and to be unapologetic in the Gospel.
