More casual affirmation of gender transition insanity from Eve Tushnet. ImageImage
You shouldn't be regarded as a believing Christian as long as you give aid and comfort to this stuff. This seems difficult for some to grasp.
In fact, I'll go farther: You are actively aiding and abetting the demonic.

Currently reading Smoke On the Mountain by Joy Davidman (before she married C. S. Lewis), and uh, wow. Is timely.
"And some of our preachers, with the best intentions, keep announcing plans for 'bringing Jesus up to date.'

Well, but mustn’t the churches adapt Christianity to suit the ideas of our time? No, they must not. Our ideas are killing us spiritually..."
"When your child swallows poison, you don’t sit around thinking of ways to adapt his constitution to a poisonous diet. You give him an emetic."

An extremely generous review by Kevin DeYoung. One interesting bit of his compare/contrast framing of himself vs. Keller is that he partly puts down his more conservative instincts to being Reformed first, evangelical second. /1

firstthings.com/article/2023/0…
I understand why he says this, sociologically. It doesn't necessarily have to shake out that way, though. I'm about as non-Reformed as it gets, and I have many serious problems with Keller's approach. /2
It just happens to have transpired that there never was a great conservative Arminian mobilization on par with the way Reformed guys like Kevin have mobilized themselves. And so, in terms of church culture, "less Reformed" has often tended towards "less conservative." /3

I see there's been some new twittering around the alt-right and weirdo Christian Twitter accounts RT'ing nationalist stuff. Anyone who knows me knows I have no love for the alt-right. But I guess I would just day "Now do this for everyone playing footsie w/queer theory."
To put this starkly: Who's done/is doing more damage to the church? Some fringey edgelord weirdo with a YouTube channel, or, I don't know, Wesley Hill?
Nazism is Satan-adjacent. Playing around with it means playing around with demonic stuff. Okay, sure. And what's playing around with queer theory?

@JoelBrizzee I'm happy to get specific, but I have so much material it would kind of drag on Twitter. We can make a little list, though! Let's start with Rachel. /1
@JoelBrizzee Rachel has enabled the Revoice conference for years, utterly failing to perceive them as the serious threat they are, contributing her own profoundly shallow/unsound sessions, and at most politely "disagreeing" with speakers like Greg Coles. /2
@JoelBrizzee Among other things, Rachel has pushed for churches to eliminate any and all hiring discrimination and put "queer" Christians in leadership, provided they're not out-and-out Side A. Which is spectacularly naive, to put it politely. /3

I do think it's interesting that the new Keller Center seems to be treating "apologetics" as a chiefly cultural or perhaps theological project. Maybe I missed it but are they including people who could speak precisely to, say, the reliability of the New Testament?
I like some of the names on the list. (Some better than others.) This is not so much a knock on them as it is a comment on the organizers' priorities/focus.
But meanwhile, I will say Rachel Gilson should not be the go-to "conservative voice" on sexuality issues in a project like this, since no one asked me. Sam Allberry is also a terrible enabler, even if his own ideas are okay. Both have done lots of coddling.

Okay, I watched That Episode of Last of Us. I will say, full credit for knowing exactly what it is, i.e., pure, uncut boomer gay wish-fulfillment.
Bros flopped because it was trying to do five things. At least this is just doing one thing. It's a dumb thing! But credit for focus!
Currently mulling a piece about how this once again highlights our inability to tell stories of very close, even physically close friendship between heterosexual men.
