SBC Pastor Says the SBC Views Women as Poorly as Racist 1850’s Segregationist Viewed Slaves
SBC Pastor Dwight McKissic, the CRT-embracing, pro-choice egalitarian who can frequently be found advocating for every weird and woke position within the denomination, and who keeps on threatening to leave the convention but never does, has likened the SBC’s sentiments and treatment of women in 2023 to the racist treatment and attitudes towards enslaved black folks in the Antebellum South.
In a post on Twitter, McKissic says that he believes the following statement with his whole heart:
In 50-100 years our theologically conservative descendants will look back upon us theological conservatives now and lament just how poorly we viewed women much like we look back on our pro slavery and segregationist forefathers for their racist views.
Of course, our pro-slavery and segregationist forefathers believed black folks weren’t even human but were little more than property. Many believed they were dumb beasts fit to be abused, molested, tortured, and killed at the discretion of the plantation owner.
In contrast, conservative Southern Baptists don’t think women should be pastors of churches but can and should fill nearly every other role within the body for the local church’s life, health, and joy- and that there is neither slave nor free, male or female, but all are one in Jesus Christ.
Basically the same.

Meanwhile, back in the realm of reality, it was very liberal and loose interpretations of scripture which were used to try to justify chattel slavery, even when the Bible specifically forbids it.
By implying that chattel slavery, racism, segregation, etc. were justified by conservative interpretation of scripture, they’re essentially claiming that the Bible justifies chattel slavery, racism, and segregation. And therefore, that such are not sinful.
I hate to burst their bubble, but the USA is only a very small part of planet Earth. Go visit Africa, Asia, or anywhere else, you won’t find any “women preachers” there either. And there haven’t been for 2 thousand years.
If ‘Pastor’ McKissic even halfway understood his Bible, he would realize he is slandering God Almighty Himself when he rants about the women not allowed to be pastors, and the men that obey by pointing this out.
God set this order up, not man.
That is easily one of the stupidest things I’ve read in some time. Seriously, how does one this dumb obtain a teaching position in the church?
Slavery gave birth – so to speak – to the Southern Baptist Church. Those good Southern Baptists didn’t approve of talk about “all men being equal” and “In Christ there is no Jew or Greek.” Sounded too much like those abolitionists up North, and threatened the entire business and social structure of the Old South.
Right, because for 250 years prior on this continent, Baptists consistently and correctly taught against slavery, because the Bible clearly forbids it. Southern Baptists chose to reject scripture, play liberal and loose with interpretation, trying to spin it into saying the opposite of what it says, in order to conform with the world, to keep the pews full, and to keep the wealthy plantation owners support.
They rejected the long-held, well-understood, traditional, and correct conservative theological interpretation of scripture.
And less than 20 years later, a bloody civil war ensued.
