I have absolutely recognized this in both the Church and in the current political and social climate. The fact that it is happening to certain denominations in the church is one of the major reasons why I chose to become an independent Southern Baptist. I believe that of all the big denominations, The Sourthern Baptist convention is doing the best job of holding onto and obeying the scriptures. I believe the late Antonin Scalia's famous quote about the constitution also applies to the bible. It says what it says and it doesn't say what it doesn't say. No matter how much our culture "evolves" the teachings of the word are timeless.
Teach these new disciples to obey all the commands I have given you, and be sure of this, I will be with you always even unto the end of the age. Mathew 28:20
