Evangelical Francis Collins tells his fellow evangelicals to GET VACCINATED!
This tweet says more about the author than evangelicalism. In his bio he calls himself a “common good conservative.” Apparently evangelicals who do not believe in inerrancy or do not reject identity politics are not part of his “common.” This sounds more like fundamentalism to me:
A former Christian college president and Trump-lover says no Christian can vote for Biden because he is a “liar,” pro-choice, pro-social justice, a misogynist, and pro-immigration. Oh yeah, let’s not forget about the high lumber prices. Everett Piper says that orthodox Christian affirms the “primary of Christ,” the “priority of scripture,” the “pursuit of truth,” and the “practice of wisdom.” We can argue about his definition of orthodoxy, but most progressive evangelicals I know believe all these things. Based on Piper’s definition, one could easily argue that HE is not a Christian because he supported the lies of Donald Trump and has not shown a whole lot of wisdom in his political engagement. If Piper is right, and “Jesus defines Christianity,” he better read his New Testament more carefully. Maybe he can start with the Sermon on the Mount. But wait– after telling his audience that the Bible , and the Bible alone, is the source of Christianity, he goes on to define Christianity by citing the extra-biblical Apostles and Nicean Creed. What a mess.
