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."

This week in WPCs!

Moore could have spent 30 seconds googling before the show and pushed back on this obvious lie, but he didn't want to offend his poetry club buddy.

This YEAR in WPCs! Picking my favorite clips from each month

JANUARY: When I say this is all about the gospel vs. liberation theology, I'm just passing along these guys' message!
FEBRUARY: Some people think the SBC should have genuflected more to this guy. You can forever disregard those people.
MARCH: This one made a few headlines in the Christian news world...

This week in WPCs!

Mennonites game-planning "antiracist worship" = pretty huge garbage fire

Never a bad idea to have low expectations when you scan the channel of a church that's buddy-buddy with the Jude 3 Project

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."

All this time and I've never done a foot washing clip!

"I want a young black man up here, because he represents some things...This young man doesn't just represent black America. This young man represents all minorities for this moment."

"We all know about the Holocaust, but for some reason, [the trans-Atlantic slave trade] has never been really advertised too much, because my race, we don't want to feel guilty.

And I'm not saying you should feel guilty, because you didn't do that, but your race did."
