Rev. Dr. Howard-John Wesley of Alexandria, VA's Alfred Street Baptist Church says Christians who don't wear masks are violating the commandments of God. His guest, Yale prof Obery Hendricks Jr, will go on to call them "anathema" and "antichrist."

Got this as a tip from @Kdubtru

"These folk are not fulfilling their gospel responsibility...What we see reflected in their attitudes and their actions and their pronouncements is what 1 John calls the spirit of antichrist."

"Franklin Graham, he's got a spirit of antichrist...I'm not saying that they're evil people. I'm saying, though, that they are in the thrall of evil discourse and evil actions, and we have to start calling evil by its rightful name."

There's a talking point in here ^^ about "evangelicals" hailing Trump as Messiah and calling for a "Book Of Trump" in the Bible. As seen previously in WPC, he's lumping in Sheldon Adelson's widow with American Christians.

Earlier in the stream, Hendricks says conservative Christians are wrong about the Bible prohibiting "same-gender loving" and cross-dressing.

"We cannot say conclusively that the Bible is saying that those people who romantically love members of their own gender are sinning...Jesus said to love each other, and what that says to me is as long as you love somebody, you're in good shape."

After Hendricks espouses obvious antinomianism, Wesley co-signs:

"All scripture is subject to interpretation...which is why work like yours is so critical to help me see a little bit more than just what I thought I read or maybe misread in Leviticus this or Exodus that."

Just 20 minutes before this bit on standpoint epistemology, Wesley presented himself as a theological conservative: "I would agree with the authority of [the] Bible, when it's used correctly. I agree that Jesus died and atoned for our sin."

1/21/25: The @j29coalition announces its formation, touting a "goal of providing support to theologically conservative pastors"

1/16/25: Caleb Campbell, the leader of J29, publishes an interview with progressive exvangelical April Ajoy, endorsing (without qualification) her book that explicitly states "queer affirming" is the only right and loving position for Christians to take on sexuality.

Campbell even compares her being "hated by evangelical" to Paul and Jesus facing resistance from "the religious elite" in Judea.

@J29Coalition For those who aren't aware, Ajoy is a co-host of The New Evangelicals with Tim Whitaker and in 2022 produced a podcast called "The Non-Binary Marriage" boasting of her husband becoming a cross-dresser. She celebrates Pride Month and explicitly denies the inerrancy of scripture.

@J29Coalition Ajoy's book, endorsed by Campbell, declares: "After years of praying and learning, I am now fully queer affirming and hold to an inclusive faith." She says this position is held by "those willing to choose love over dogma."

A PCA Mission To North America (MNA) employee under Irwyn Ince speaks out in support of the segregated event that has caused controversy in the past week.

Kellie Brown, the MNA staffer who suggested the Trump assassination attempt in PA was "staged," says "safe spaces" for minorities are the reason she remains in the PCA.

Brown and her husband Howard Brown are currently planting a church for the PCA, "Kindred Hope," which advises white Christians to become "allies" and financial backers rather than congregants.

"There's a lot of conversation around diversity. And a lot of, sadly, Christians are saying that we shouldn't have spaces for black folks, that it's divisive and whatnot. And I actually am a testimony that that's just not true.

When minority people have a safe space to be themselves and to share their hearts, and that space is protected and initiated and supported by the majority culture that's around them, then that makes them feel even safer, and it actually pushes us closer to being one church.

And a lot of voices out there would lie and manipulate that and make it seem like it creates divisiveness, but Christ Central is a testimony that that's just not true. And I'm still here in the PCA after 30-some odd years because of safe spaces and places like you had with Pastor Omari [Hill, of Perimeter Church] and other brothers to help navigate."

At Christ Central, the church plant she touts, pastor Howard Brown led corporate prayers declaring the Puritans guilty of genocide

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."
