Evangelical roundup for February 14, 2022

but up until very recently I have not known this. I have not felt like enemy number one. I have felt like I was someone who was trying to take the core tenents of evangelicalism seriously, who had hope and determination (and, well, evangelical zeal) that together we could reform.

it's so hard because for me the systematic is so enmeshed with the personal. I really long to be loved for who I am, and I am someone who has a bent towards truth-telling and reforming bad systems. and my family and my original faith community see me as an enemy.

even positive memories of church/Christian communities are so tainted now. because the second you step out of line, it's all gone. so it was never real community, yet it was sold to me as the only real place to be seen and known and loved. it's a lot for me to process.

Once again it is being proven that the SBC is full of weak and effeminate pastors who have little to no discernment.

If you can't see the problem with Beth Moore and are unwilling to protect the women in your church from her unbiblical teaching, you shouldn't be a pastor.

For several years, Beth Moore’s been remaking herself. As the culture shifts, she shifts w/ the culture.

What she said here about women’s dress was when a biblical message of modesty was popular.

Her new followers think calls for modesty are oppressive, so she changes her tune. pic.twitter.com/sF5rrkVMMV

As some of you try to spread around how much I have changed, please keep this in view: my faith in Jesus & my love for Scripture haven’t changed 1 iota. My faith in hyperfundamentalist men has. I’ve seen what I cannot unsee in the last 5 yrs. I just simply no longer believe you.

(1) In my 20s I concluded that the Bible was wholly true. That was not a gradual or recent conviction. (2) But for 50 years I've read every opposing view–every critique of the truth of Bible I could get my hands on. They fall short. They don't make their case.

If the Evangelical right put 1/10 of the effort to critiquing Trump in 2015 or stopping abusers as they have invested in criticizing @kkdumez, @bethallisonbarr and @aimeebyrdPYW we would be in a very different place right now.

Very. Different.

Lena: looking through the lens of the Gospel, the essence of love is how we reflect the dignity of others.

Walter: there is a difference between diversity of color and diversity of culture.

Question on color-blindness:
Lena: color blindness is a construct to help us not be uncomfortable; how incredible it is to have the construct to see the unique construct of our differences. #2022Forum

One practical resource for us to use: @JemarTisby : study history
Lena: know your biblical text
Walter: Ask different questions about the biblical text.

In Ed's cover article for @NAEvangelicals with @Aemacd, they use a 90s debate between James Dobson and John Woodbridge to frame longstanding tensions within the evangelical movement that have only deepened in recent years.

It’s alarming to see how many evangelicals missed the boat on what was happening during the lockdowns of 2020-21.

But what’s inexcusable are those who – today, right now – insist on spreading the same lies and half-truths concerning Covid-19.

We know who you are. It’s over.
