Liberal Christian offshoot of the Southern Baptist Convention. CBF's focus is on egalitarian social and political policies along with presenting a hazy view of theology. While most CBF members are not as far to the left as clearly apostate denominational elites such as found in the United Methodist Church, the CBF would be more accurately characterized as part of the mushy middle or moderates.
CBF does not explicitly deny the truth of the Bible, but they emphasize that individual believers can interpret the Bible any way that they choose. This tact on interpreting the Bible can easily provide a liberal Christian with the license to make the Bible into a wax-nose so that one can twist the Bible to justify whatever one wants to read into the text. This loose approach to reading and being instructed in the Bible comes from CBF's so-called "Four Freedoms": (1)Soul Freedom-a direct relationship with God without intermediaries (2)Bible Freedom-each person can interpret the Bible for himself without direction from anyone but God (or who one can easily deceive oneself into believing is God, viz. oneself who wants what he wants and wants it now) (3)Church Freedom-local church autonomy (4)Religious Freedom-as defined by egalitarian leftists at the ACLU. The CBF is affiliated with the Baptist Joint Committee for Religious Liberty, which opposes such benign policies as allowing for Ten Commandment displays.

Cooperative Baptist Fellowship member reflecting on Deuteronomy 24 after his wife has burnt the toast: "I see here right in the Bible that I can divorce my wife if she displeases me. So, I shall divorce her and marry my sexier secretary. After she gets some mileage on her, I shall trade her in, too. I am so glad that I read the Bible and follow God's Word."

a cult that holds very conservative views. Will literally shoot you if you use the NIV (KJV only), wear pants as a female, question leadership in the church, or are gay. They believe that women are under men and should never have any leadership roles. Basically they stay at home barefoot and pregnant. They also beat their children before they can even form words (spare the rod spoil the child). Many have schools so they can keep the children away from the world so they do not get corrupted. If you grew up in this denomination im sorry :(

An offshoot of the Southern Baptist Convention that is not as committed to defending the doctrine of the inerrancy of the Bible as the SBC since Evangelicals recaptured the denomination from liberals and moderates. CBF also presents a more egalitarian set of policies on social and political issues along with presenting a hazy view of theology. While most CBF members are not as far to the left as clearly apostate denominational elites such as found in the United Methodist Church, the CBF would be more accurately characterized as part of the mushy middle or moderates.

A private school in Pennsylvania in the middle of nowhere where kids who are broke themselves but their parent's have money go because if they went to a normal high school they would be bullied. Students just use daddy’s money to buy their yeezys and not clothes because the uniform forces you to wear the same pair of pants everyday. The guys either graduate and get engaged by 19 or grow up to be a pedo. Girls at HP are some of the most basic white girls you’ll ever meet who thrive on drama. Bring your kids to HPBA if you have the money for the tuition that goes up every year and therapy. Lots of therapy.
“Why is your son so depressed?”
“Oh ya well, he’s go to High Point Baptist Academy. We are very rich by the way!”

A basic school in a neighborhood called Yonkers . A bunch of little white boys and a lot of fake ass girls. If all this wasn’t enough they had to throw in the fatest principal known to mankind.
Do you know Mr. Lynch ? “Isn’t that the gay teacher that teaches at St. John the Baptist School and only talks about Star Wars and karate.”
