Found a panel from 2018's PasCon with Jarvis Williams + Matt Hall, made public last November. This is before either of them became controversial, so they're...more at ease, is one way to say it.
Jarvis: "You can have racism operating in a context where there are no individual racists, and that, in part. is the way in which white supremacy works, in a socially sophisticated way."
David Bailey: "In many ways, we can't even fully understand who God is unless we have a multiethnic, multicultural, socio-economically diverse, diverse genders expression of understanding who God is."
Sounds rather... Warnockian.
"God's people are called to be a blessing to other nations. We aren't supposed to be nationalistic."

[Why not both?]

"Throughout the OT, God says: Remember you were once oppressed, you were once slaves, and so don't take the ways of the empire into the promised land."
"We began to make a separation between a spiritual salvation and a physical salvation in order to justify the economics [of chattel slavery]...We've inherited a theology where you can separate, your gospel could be both spiritual and not have any kind of physical manifestation."
This is so scummy. Juxtaposing the "doll baby" test, made famous by Brown v. Board, with systematic theology:

"When you get into church, white theology is the right theology. It's not, like, it's just orthodoxy. And other things are just kind of other types of theology."
Again: NAME ONE DOCTRINE THAT IS "WHITE." Give us a mainstream systematics textbook and give the page number.
Matt Hall agrees, expands the thought with the unspecific charge of yt ppl lumping all works from POC theologians together as "black theology." Who has used that term as a pejorative? Black *liberation* theology, yes, but if he made that distinction, it would give away the game.
"Ask the Spirit to put you in spaces. You go to the spaces where black and brown people are, and learn on their turf."

At the opening of the United Methodist Church's General Conference, attendees are warned to avoid "exclusively male language for God" and to "be conscious of inferred power dynamics."
The next day, this same duo presented their "report card" on the diversity of officers elected to the conference's legislative committees, then scolded attendees to "work a little bit harder on inclusion with language and interpretation."

Fani Willis returned to church to accept an award and deliver a brief sermon on her court hearing.

"The scripture they keep sending me is 'No weapon formed against you shall prosper'...They did not say the weapons will not form, and that's the part I didn't hear until recently."
Atlanta Berean Church, a Seventh-Day Adventist congregation, hosted Willis this Saturday for nearly 20 minutes of adulation, starting with lead pastor Dr. Sherwin Jack declaring, "She is one of us" (1:26).
The church presented Willis with a "Black History Achievement Award," SDA founder Ellen G. White's "Conflict Of The Ages" book series, and more.

"These beautiful flowers are for you, the beautiful person that you are. We love you."

Kelly Rosati, a National Association Of Evangelicals board member, calls pro-life Christians' opposition to state-run welfare "useless," "un-scriptural," and "madness."
Here's wider context: Rosati, an alumnus of Focus On The Family and former member of the March For Life's board of national directors, is speaking at the NAE's "Flourish" conference in October of last year. (1/2)
"I just want to plant a flag and say: Let us be people that never advocate for abortion restrictions without an accompanying paid family leave support." (2/2)

Has the Gospel Coalition embraced Federal Vision theology?

"What is the basis of our regeneration at the Judgment? It is not our confession. It is actually our living."

(see full thread for wider context)
Speaker is Darryl Williamson of Living Faith Bible Fellowship in Tamba Bay, FL, during a "Good-Faith Debate" published this March.

"How do we advance both a reconciliation and justice vision in the church?...I think it begins with...us getting the gospel right." (1/2)
"The Judgment seat, biblically, is inherently ethical...It's not a doctrinal exam. And so you don't get to give the password. The 'I've accepted Christ as my savior'...Doesn't mean it's works righteousness. It just means it's the nature of the judgment." (2/2)

This is how subversive churches will twist Genesis 1:27 to sow gender confusion in children: THREAD 🧵
"When God creates day + night, what's between day + night? Sunset + sunrise are between day + night, so there's dusk and there's dawn and there's twilight. I feel pretty safe saying that I think God created sunset."

"Do you know if there's anything between dry land + water?"
"There's some animals that live in the water AND on the land, right?"

"God created land animals and water animals and amphibians and sea birds. God also created everyone between and beyond male and female. I feel pretty safe saying that."

Found some professors from Fuller and UCLA defending, whitewashing + advocating Critical Race Theory, by name, at an event held by the church of a pastor regularly featured on the YouVersion Bible app's devotionals.

No, this isn't from June 2020. It's May 2023.
The speaker is Jeff Liou, who co-authored "Christianity and Critical Race Theory: A Faithful and Constructive Conversation" with Robert Chao Romero, who I've clipped several times before. Here, the two authors call anti-CRT Christians liars and "a**holes."
(This says a lot, since @neilshenvi and @RealPatSawyer have been at the forefront of Christians critiquing this ideology. Per a quick Kindle search, neither men are mentioned in their book)
