Please allow me to clarify a statement I made in a previous letter concerning the Syrian refugees.
I nor the church I pastor have ever advocated taking the life of anyone other than self defense. We hate no one or nation.
My opposition to our Southern Baptist leaders was that they failed to protect and preserve the Christian faith that is being over-powered by the Muslim faith in this country.
As God was protecting Israel from the Amalekites that constantly attacked Israel, I felt our Southern Baptist leaders had an obligation to protect our denomination. I apologize to anyone for even a hint that we have a right to take innocent lives. Only God could make a decision of that magnitude. Our mission is to tell others about Christ which the Koran and the Muslim faith denounce that God even had a Son. I am against the Syrian refugees coming into our country simply because of terrorism. If they move into our community, we will love them and minister to them as best we can.
As I stated in my last letter we just need to make good decisions for the future of the Christian faith and for the future of our country and generations to come.
