About Seminary Presidents & Casting Stones

Last week, Baptist Press included a quote from Dr. Al Mohler as part of an Executive Committee wrap-up article:
"Mohler stated that the SBC entity presidents have committed "that we will not ourselves tolerate personal attacks upon one of our colleagues..."
From the rumblings around the blogosphere, Dr. Mohler may need to retrieve some of his own stones from personal attacks before overly concerning himself with the first family of SWBTS.

"we will not ourselves tolerate personal attacks upon one of our colleagues" I want to remember that quote as an example of humble martyrdom masked in arrogance. Someday, I want to ask some of the gentlemen who were trampled in the SBC's conservative resurgence why they did not simply announce that they wouldn't tolerate personal attacks on their colleagues? Brilliant. It almost sounds like, "we won't tolerate personal attacks on the Bible".

I am announcing today that we, as Refugee Baptists, will not tolerate personal attacks on any homemade pies, cakes, cobblers, or cookies brought to fellowship supper regardless of how conservative or fundamental the recipe. I realize that is shocking...some of you may have witnessed my attack on a pan of fresh, toll house cookies. It is time for that to stop.
