Claiming to be a Primitive Baptist

The following reportedly is a transcript of a portion of a sermon by a man claiming to be a Primitive Baptist minister. It is an absolute abomination and travesty. Assuming that this is a correct rendering of what he said, this man, if he has any honesty and decency at all, should stop even pretending to call himself a Primitive Baptist immediately. It is nauseating! How ANY Primitive Baptist could try to defend someone who would make such a statement is a wonder to me!
Mark Green

"We have sinned against thee, both I and my father's house have sinned. Now here's what I want out of that. I want several things, but here's what I want, mainly. He said I and my father's house.
"You know what we're prone to do. We're prone to defend what our fathers have done whether it was right or wrong. We've got to get over that. I'm gonna tell you in 1832 there was a division in the Baptist family that sent the Primitive Baptists into one ditch on one side and the Arminian Baptists in one ditch on the other side. They were competing with each other to see which one could out do the best in getting away from the word of God, because both of them did.
"When you study that Black Rock Address and you study the attitude they had and bore the fierceness they claimed to be the vicar of truth and the measure and standard of orthodoxy, and the attitude that they had, I'm telling you, that was Phariseeism. And I believe that's when God withdrew his blessing from them. And we've been on a downward course ever since.
"Its time we as a people looked up and said our fathers have sinned. They had the wrong attitude. They had the wrong philosophy. In many cases they had the wrong motive for the decisions that they made. Nehemiah said our fathers sinned and so have I. "
