A bit of American evangelical history by Randall Balmer. After Brown v Board of Education, “segregation academies” were opening up all over for whites only. They were getting charity/tax-exempt status, so the Treasury dept was sued. 🧵/1 > come see Francis Schaefer & Falwell

Did you ever notice how a Pastor’s (or Teacher’s) character matches with how they present God’s character to be? Angry God, Angry Pastor Demanding God, Demanding Pastor Loving & Caring God, Loving & Caring Pastor

Previous life: feel guilty for being anxious & being afraid for my daughter's situation, try to pray through guilt New life: free to feel my emotions, channel that into casting my cares on my loving heavenly father (feelings are still here & it's ok) See the difference? FREEEEE

Ok, she is in recovery. Her fundoplication has failed, so the top of the stomach isn’t “cinching” like it is supposed to. We will probably need to do some more imaging then talk to the surgeon. Please remember Livia over the next few weeks. Thanks so much for praying &…

That’s not how things work in complementarianism. 1. Men are the ones that determine what the Bible says and means. Women must defer to the men here. 2. Harmful impact of teachings don’t change what men say is a right interpretation. Let’s break that down. 6/

@sean_muldowney This is the narrow road. You are responsible for anyone’s soul, just be faithful to following Jesus and teaching what he taught. Persuasion and service. The rest is out of your control. Stay strong.

RJ Rushdoony’s vision, based on Van Til’s ideas that non-Christians are unable to perceive reality: 1. Build alternative history books (himself, Whitehead, Barton) 2. Build alternative science (young earth creation, H Morris) 3. Build alternative law firms (Rutherford…

Tim LaHaye was at the fateful breakfast meeting with President Jimmy Carter and Jerry Falwell, Oral Roberts and Jim Bakker where it was decided that Carter needed to go. And they did it. 7/

So many of us were jolted to the reality of the brokenness of US evangelicalism in 2016 and 2020. Some of us continued to do the hard work of decolonizing our theology and learning from voices on the margins within the US Church who have been saying similar things for decades…

This comment by a Facebook friend sums up how I see it. So much depth and real world justice tied up in who Jesus chose to deliver and heal (save).

Wow, quite an impact the theology and teaching has on all of us. Maybe instead of teaching techniques to manage the “crushing guilt,” the foundational ideas around shaming people could be changed??
