Dave Miller cannot stop his liberal self from surfacing.  He may say he is a conservative but his unfounded venomous rhetoric against President Trump and the Christians who support Trump speaks volumes otherwise.  He has posted yet another article at SBC Voices scoffing at those Christians who are complaining about the election results and their “conspiracy theories” of voter fraud.

Miller pontificates from on high about the lowly pros and plebes who are voicing “conspiracy theories” of voter fraud in the 2020 election cycle.  He mentions the Democrats complaining about voting results in the 2018 election cycle and Republicans telling them to accept the results.  Point of fact, the Democrats complained about the 2016 presidential results for four years, and Hilary still is.  I have a conspiracy theory for you, Mr. Miller: Hilary didn’t sue in 2016 because the Democrats did something wrong and didn’t want it to come out in court.  Instead, they did their best to impede Trump’s policies and impeach him on suspicion of colluding with Russia (a conspiracy theory).

I did a search and found one story about voter fraud in 2018 (I searched through five pages of results) and the only case I saw was a complaint of voter fraud against Democrats in Tampa Bay, FL.  All of the other results of my search were sworn affidavits of witnesses to voter fraud in multiple states, videos of ballot counters “correcting” ballots, and one of a Democrat official in Houston formally complaining about voter fraud in Harris County, TX, by his own party.  And not just 2020, ongoing.  Those are not conspiracy theories, those are facts, facts in evidence, by witnesses who were willing to come forward. Miller only believes conspiracy theories if they are about President Trump, or writers of discernment blogs.

And then Independent Dave Miller says this:

 Christians have come to the point where an accusation, if made against the other side, is assumed as fact whether the facts support it or not.

Would this include the unfounded accusations, in your last article, about President Trump being “ungodly, borderline racist, misogynistic, and xenophobic?”  An article in which you go out of your way to insult Trump and his followers within Christendom? I have not read any such vitriolic bile when talking about the character of that advocate for murdering babies, LGBT alphabet soup group of pillow-biting sodomites, angry hairy dikes and sexually confused perverted crossdressers, Fascist Democrat candidate wandering-hands hair-sniffing Joe Biden. You call him President-elect, which means you hold him in higher regard than President Trump.

I do want to pose one question: where is the denouncing of Ron Burns’ daily genuflecting at the statue of the Golden Donkey bracketed by images of Joe Biden and Kamala Harris? 

Dave Miller is not an independent.  He is jumping over the fence and into the sheep pen to ravage the flock. The SBC Titanic is headed for an iceberg and the leadership is steering right for it.  The fog of relevance with the world clouds their vision and I pray more Godly SBC churches leave before they go down into the cold depths of spiritual mediocrity.

Dave Miller over at SBC Voices has done an election post-mortem on the state of the SBC.  Miller wrote an article about murmurings he has been hearing from young members about their concerns.  They are asking, “Why should I stay in the SBC?” The questions he poses are about the covering up of sex scandals, racial reconciliation today for slave owners almost 200 years ago, SBC is going liberal, among others.  All of which he attributes as contributing factors to the declining membership of the SBC, but he misses the real reason.

Al Mohler is considered one of the leaders (if not the primary) of the “Conservative Resurgence” but the veil has been pulled off. Al Mohler is responsible for the hiring of Russel Moore of the ERLC, Russell Moore of the Clinton Administration, of the Democratic Party.  Al Mohler is responsible for firing professors who spoke out against Critical Race Theory (CRT) and replacing them with professors who promoted CRT. Al Mohler is responsible for the Liberal Insurgence.

Miller addresses a list of racial reparations (the typical Woke list of woes), Cooperative Program, the International Missions Board (IMB), what he calls unsubstantiated accusations about SBC leadership, and other topics; there are dozens of posts on Protestia and Pulpit and Pen archives that address this.

The point I want to address is about President Trump. Miller states that the SBC is tethered to the GOP, that many in the SBC deified President Trump (according to my own summary view) and support Trump because they love the sense of perceived power with him in office, and in which he states, for the record:

For clarification – I did not vote for Joe Biden, or for Hillary. I cannot vote for “the party of death.” I am now an independent. My sympathies and convictions are closer to the GOP on issues but I will not vote for ungodly, borderline racist, misogynistic, xenophobic candidates because they are GOP.

Where is the evidence for these accusations, of mysogyny, “borderline” racism and xenophobia?? This can be considered slanderous because there is no evidence of Trump espousing any of these traits.  Most Evangelicals have acknowledged his moral shortcomings and didn’t vote for him in 2016, including the author. But we are not sitting a church meeting voting on a new pastor.  We are voting for a president of a secular government of a secular nation. The GOP platform is more aligned with the beliefs, both in fiscal policy and personal convictions, of Evangelicals which is why they vote for GOP candidates. All Evangelicals would love a president who was a God-fearing, doctrinally orthodox president. We have had many candidates on both sides who have claimed to be and were not.

Is the SBC going liberal? Perhaps not individual members or as a general whole, but the leadership of the SBC is certainly leaning that way, and that is where it matters.  It is the leadership that is the rudder of the aircraft carrier SS SBC Titanic.  Where are the ERLC, IMB, NAMB and other SBC commissions and boards spending their money? Open the books and be transparent, because a some of what is going on is probably as corrupt as the shenanigans surrounding Casino Jack Abramoff. The people tithing the money have the right to know how it is being used.

About the sex scandals, there should not be a cover-up, ever, if the evidence supports the accusation.  And it is the “evil” discernment ministry sites that break the news.

The problem, which Miller does touch upon in his “Why I stay” section, is that the SBC has forgotten Great Commission. The real reason is that SBC has stopped preaching and believing in the power of the gospel.  And when I say SBC I mean the leadership.  They spend a lot of time adding to the Gospel by saying “This is a gospel issue!”

The SBC needs to go back to verse-by-verse expository preaching, and this begins with the SBC President JD Greear.  Stop trying to be relevant and seek acceptance from the world, because when that happens the church ceases to be relevant and it is the world that influences the church. We are witnessing that in the leadership of the SBC.
