In which Phil Vischer defines "the MeToo movement" as a "conservative theological priority" (0:59-0:52 + 1:33-1:50)

Been a while since I've touched Holy Post content. I can only dip in + out every so often or else the smugness overcomes me.

This was a delightfully salty episode where Skye + Phil grouse about wolves losing and shepherds winning in 2021. 😘

"[The Reformers] tended to define the gospel in juxtaposition to the Roman Catholic ideas, not necessarily on an objective reading of the NT...We are always redefining it based on what heresy at the moment we're fighting against."

(Cont'd) Phil, sarcastically delivering a RW self-own: "The gospel is color-blind. So if you are having a conversation about race where you want to divide people up by the color of their skin and say some people have different needs or need more attention, that's anti-gospel."

(Amateur Bible reading tip: 1 Corinthians 12 is not a race essentialism passage)

The Salvation Army got in trouble because it was pursuing "racial justice"

"You get attacked so brutally...'Did you bring up a Kendi book in your church? Are you kidding me?' And there was a whole closet industry of Voddie Bauchams + Neil Shenvis...Anything associated with CRT is now an enemy of the gospel, so Salvation Army has to back down."

(At least they're not just blaming Fox News anymore)

"It used to feel like if you were...egalitarian, you had the burden of proof...This year, because of these books [Barr/DuMez]...if you are going to advocate for a complementarian view...You now have the burden of proof and need to justify that position based on scripture."

"When someone...challenges the conventional white patriarchal conservative view of whatever, the attacks are going to be: it's not biblical enough...they have an agenda, they're feminists, they're woke, and rarely does it actually deal with the substance of the argument."

Literally minutes after accusing Baucham/Shenvi of merely saying "CRT [a term they both deliberately avoid] is a threat to the gospel" to shut down any and all conversation about race.

Zero self-awareness.

Female eldership is as agree-to-disagree as legs on Communion tables

Skye: "What is a future non-essential that doesn't feel important now but you think someday will be?"

...

Phil: "What's a future essential that's currently a non-essential...What role can someone from the LGBTQ community play in church?"

Skye on "cultural evangelicals" and their desire for "hegemony":

"Demographics are going to resolve that in time, no matter what. It's just you're seeing the death throes of the one side that can't handle the future."

This one's out of order but I wanted to save it for the end. Skye complains that he's seen as a lib, right before the clips where he rails against "patriarchy," "hegemony," and says egalitarianism has become the default for Christian culture.

"There's no neutral ground anymore."

These are such illuminating thoughts from the id of subverter/wolf culture!
