I've often seen evangelicals argue that their movement is not inherently political.

The only way this could be true is if one honestly believes white cisheteropatriarchy to be THE neutral, natural, and entirely objective position.

Which, FTR, is a deeply political view.
Recently saw someone claim it was only the "talking heads" who were actually political, the average person in the pews at an evangelical church is just a good person doing a bunch of good behind the scenes.

I want to explore that for a moment.

Okay all, it's a quiet night and I happen to like this topic.

So...I'mma do a thread.

Specifically, I'm going to talk for a minute about patriarchal interpretation and why inerrantist readings of Scripture stifle imagination and uphold systems of oppression.
Our test passage for this is going to be John 8.

For those not familiar, this is the passage traditionally given a heading about "Jesus and the Adulterous Woman."

You can read the passage here if you need it for reference:

biblegateway.com/passage/?searc…
Also, I'm gonna be talking about the Greek of this passage a little toward the end of the thread.

If you're interested in doing your own digging regarding that, you can start here:

Okay all, let's talk about this real quick and it's implications for the so-called #SocialJusticeStatement .

Let's start by noting that the name "Stan Hannon" is a misspelling.

As can be seen at this link (fbcbelleview.org/stan-hannan-se…) his name is, in fact, Stan *Hannan* (thread)
First, let's talk about Stan's biography a bit.

The scant details given on the church website about his military service (fbcbelleview.org/stan-hannan-se…) along with what @JustinPetersMin has said give us enough info to research exactly what Stan's role was in the Rhodesian military.
Also, real quick shout out to @C_Stroop and @anxiousoracle for their work researching this.

@anxiousoracle did most of the legwork on the research front, and I am building off that work here.

Now, back to our friend Pastor Stan.

Next time anyone from @TGC claims to be pro-life, cite this article.

#Exvangelical #EmptyThePews (short thread)
Notice 1st that in this article Leeman openly endorses the view that there is a "race gap" in abortion statistics.

This of course is pure myth.

The so-called "race gap" is a product of white supremacy.

The systems which cause black and other non-white to have higher abortion rates are directly tied to systems of systemic racism.

In case you forgot that Evangelicals like to rip passages out of context in order to prove their own moral superiority...
Notice that motive and faith are literally all that matter in Castleberry's system.

If you're a great person with good motives doing amazing justice work and helping lots of people, but you aren't a Christian, then it's all against God.
But if you're a Christian who is trying to honor God and practice your faith as you best understand it but end up doing a bunch of harm instead, well congrats you're still a good person because at least you tried.

Al Mohler is speaking at a Classical Christian Ed event. CCE and white supremacy go hand in hand.
Society of Classical Learning's explicit purpose is to preserve "Western Civilization" and its benefits.

That is coded language for white supremacy and preserving white privilege.
And here are some breakout sessions from their 2018 conference.

1. A breakout literally saying that students having self-esteem is a bad thing.

White male theological mediocrity at its worst.

1. The divine is repeatedly referred to as a mother in the OT.

2. Elohim, a common name for the divine in OT, can be rightly translated goddess.

3. El Shaddai depicts the divine as a protective and nurturing mother.

4. Ruach (translated "wind") is the word for the divine spirit in Hebrew. It is feminine.

5. The OT sapiential tradition depicts divine wisdom as personified in the goddess Sophia.
6. In the NT, Jesus is repeatedly referred to both directly and by implication as the embodiment of Sophia.

7. Jesus regularly refers to self with feminine metaphors, most notably as a protective mother hen protecting her offspring.
