Lance Wallnau didn’t like the “He Gets Us” Super Bowl commercials:

When woke goes religious. https://t.co/ICC1qGvy2N

Neither did Megan Basham:

So remember when a bunch of big Evangelical voices were chiding the rank-and-file for being too critical of the He Gets Us campaign? Once again, the folks in the pews prove more discerning. This is execrable. pic.twitter.com/IAKEuofIvk

Neither did Tom Buck:

.@HeGetsUs spent a billion dollars creating a social justice Jesus who is soft on LGBT and abortion issues to get the world to like Him. Note that pagans DO like the Jesus of the campaign, but even they know that biblical Christianity isn't compatible with the @HeGetsUs Jesus. https://t.co/SsKky7iEtF

Some evangelicals liked the “He Gets Us” ads:

The point of @HeGetsUs is to spark the interest of non-believers, not to present a treatise on Christology in a matter of seconds.

No sin was affirmed in that commercial, but the human dignity of all people was affirmed.

Jesus came to seek and save the lost.

Eric Metaxas does not watch football:

Instead of watching the SuperBowl on my flight home tonight I watched the amazing film HACKSAW RIDGE. When you see the bravery and heart-rending sacrifice of those who died for our country — for you and me — it's hard to take players playing a game very seriously. https://t.co/N7rck9j5WW

Scot vs. Owen:

It is unseemly to post this, Scot.

Disagree with Elliot's views–fine. Having concerns here is also valid. But the woman is dead. She can't speak to this. Lars Gren is in his late 80s and in a care home. He's not in good health and can't defend himself.

What is wrong with you? https://t.co/HYln6xCRrC
