“In the past issues that divided evangelicals, such as speaking in tongues, End Times theology, Calvinism - all of those things have receded, and it’s now these social and political issues that define allegiances" @kkdumez on new bedfellows #SBC2022 1/6 washingtonpost.com/religion/2022/…
I'm going to share a bit of context/backstories on some of the hot-button issues that are in the ether here at the #SBC22. They include comments and measures from the recent past 2/6
Some are angry this '19 measure passed: CRT and intersectionality alone "are insufficient to diagnose and redress the root causes of the social ills that they identify, which result from sin, yet these analytical tools can aid in evaluating a variety of human experiences." 3/6
Some are angry over a 2019 sermon given by past prez @jdgreear. In it he was talking about Jesus' constant focus in the Bible on pride and greed, and how people should look with more fear at their own pride and greed hearts than haughtily at others' sexual dysfunctions 4/6
Greear's comment that Christians should "whisper about what the Bible whispers about and shout about what it shouts about" is cited by more right-leaning SBC folks as evidence of creeping wokeism. It's listed on the @BaptistNetwork web site 5/6
Here's more context on that sermon jdgreear.com/a-statement-ab… 6/6
