The baptist church has a sign ?

Question

a southern baptist church close to my house has a sign that says that {fornicators shall not inherit the kingdom of god} why is this?

Answer 1

And just where is this kingdom of God?

Answer 2

That is what is says in the bible. Paul says in 1st Corinthians 6:9-11

Know you not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Be not deceived: neither fornicators, not idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor abusers of themselves with mankind, nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners, shall inherit the kingdom of God.  (He goes on to say in verse 11, here is the really cool part)

And such were some of you: but you are washed, but you are sanctified, but you are justified in the name of the Lord Jesus, and by the Spirit of our God.

People that do these sinful acts that are against God and against His nature will not go to heaven. God cannot dwell in eternity with things that are contrary to His nature. He created Heaven and Earth and all things in them. All physical things and all systems. All these things were originally created either in His image, in the image of the relationships in the Trinity, or in the image of His very Nature. These sinful acts are contrary to His Holy Eternal Nature. He must separate these things from Himself. He will not dwell with them. If we stand in from of God on our own, God will see these sinful things that WE HAVE ALL DONE and He must, in His Righteous Judgement, judge us guilty and separate us from Him. This is the second death and h**l.

If we have faith that Jesus Christ, The Son of The Living God, God himself, came in the form of a man, died on the cross - taking the punishment of sin for our sins -  receiving our wages of death -  giving us in return His Holy Righteousness. And we believe that the Power of God has raised Him up and seated Him at the right hand of the Father. We can be covered in His Righteousness and be saved.

Just like Paul said in that scripture. You were these things but now you are saved by Jesus Christ. You must Repent of your sins and follow Jesus Christ.  

Answer 3

1 Corinthians 6:9. That's why, it is a verse from the Bible, which, being a church is not surprising.

Answer 4

Answer 5

God told them to do it... no wait... they don't believe in special revelation...

They're bigots.  No other reason.

Answer 6

Because the Bible says fornication is wrong.  

Answer 7

because [we're a bunch of snake kissing, tongue talking, non-dancing, country-fried freaks of nature] was too long to fit on the marquee.

Answer 8

You would have to ask them why they have that sign, nobody here knows the answer.

Answer 9

I wonder if they realize that even if they're married, s*x is still fornication? HAHA that's funny...

Answer 10

Simply because the Bible says that fornication is wrong..........

God Bless................
