To doctrinal liberals and theological leftists, virtually nothing is a “primary issue.” The rise of ecumenism in 20th Century evangelicalism demonstrated that the cardinal doctrine of togetherness takes precedence over the Holy Scriptures on almost every account. Demonstrating this truism is The Company Man™, Dave Miller, who owns and operates the nearly-dead SBC social justice … Read more
SBC Voices, a poorly-read SBC pastor’s blog published a hit-piece against Tom Ascol of Founders’ Ministries yesterday. Don’t get me wrong; I’m all for hit-pieces, as some ideas and idealogues need (metaphorically) hit. However, I feel that if I don’t speak up about the vapidity, insipidness, and mental emptiness of that “blog” post I would … Read more
vic·tim·ol·o·gy ˌviktəˈmäləjē/: the possession of an outlook, arising from real or imagined victimization, that seems to glorify and indulge the state of being a victim
Lol. That’s the response that is due the recent SBC Echoes post defending the former Democratic Staffer, animal rights activist, Martin Luther King celebrator, Cultural Marxist, illegal immigrant amnesty-supporter and George Soros partner, Russell Moore. In polemics there’s a term called “website orthodox,” and it’s a term with which anyone capable of entry-level discernment should … Read more
A rogue Baptist blogger who moth-balled his website in the wake of scandal has started writing again. Although laughed at and scorned by many, Peter Lumpkins has overtaken the “woke” SBC Voices blog in short order. The feat should not go unnoticed, as people are fed-up with SBC talking points and are hungry for original … Read more
SBC Voices is a place for regurgitated ideas, unoriginal thoughts, Southern Baptist scuttlebutt in the form of pumped sunshine, and a nearly endless droning on of denomination optimism, oblivious to the doctrinal downgrade and corruption that’s common place in America’s largest evangelical denomination. With material from well-meaning guest posters like this polemicist’s own big brother (link) … Read more
Yesterday, Dave Miller of SBC Voices posted a video of former Mormon turned Catholic, Marco Rubio’s supposed testimony of faith, in which Miller presumes to be genuine. Miller had this to say regarding Rubio’s testimony, …I believe I’d get excited to hear any presidential candidate give as cogent a testimony of his or her faith … Read more
If you’ve been following Southern Baptist news, you know about the uproar that was cast by the SBC inviting Seventh Day Adventist, Dr. Ben Carson, to speak at the 2015 Pastor’s Conference. Aside from the serious theological differences that sets Southern Baptists apart from Seventh Day Adventists, it was also widely seen as an endorsement of a political candidate. In the wake of this massive outcry, a follow-up opinion was written at SBC Voices blog by Dave Matthews, basically stating that he disagreed with decision to invite Carson, but since it’s already done, for the sake of avoiding bad press, we should just shut up about it, accept it, and have lunch together.
The following is a transcript of small portion of Monday’s Pulpit & Pen Program, in which JD briefly discusses what he believes to be a mischaracterization of The Squirrel’s recent post by Dave Miller and, more concerning, the marginalization of legitimate concerns through soteriological reductionism. “I talked about this article on the program Friday (or … Read more
John Lewis was an evil man and worse than a racist, but that hasn’t stopped SBC leaders from singing his praises and paying him undue honor. Albert Mohler, Russel Moore, the Gang at the ERLC, and a ton of other people and places have spoken of Lewis in glowing, flowery language, without one mention that … Read more
I have been saying this for years. If Albert Mohler is going to be consistent in calling for the Confederate Flag and monuments to Confederate leaders to come down, he’s going to have to change the name of Boyce College and Manly Hall at Southern Seminary. I’m not a prophet. I’m only a polemicist. I … Read more
As Pulpit & Pen explained in the article, Russell Moore’s Supporters All Have One Thing in Common: They’re on the ERLC’s Teat, Russell Moore has been handing out Cooperative Program-funded treats to SBC bloggers for years, building an astroturf network of blogs to attack people at his bidding. By handing out appointments, positions, and speaking … Read more
The Democratic Party keeps running radically liberal candidates for president and can’t figure out why they keep losing. And so, they double-down with even more extreme leftists thinking, “That’s the trick.” Fail. Again. But that’s how liberals think. They double-down on their problem, thinking that’s the solution. For several years, thanks to the liberal influences … Read more
The SBC Executive Committee must have had an interesting couple of days, and they have shotgunned their Twitter feed with various seeming concessions ostensibly designed to placate infuriated conservatives. After SBC President, JD Greear, and SBC Executive Committee President, Ronnie Floyd, both insisted yesterday that the denomination isn’t “going liberal,” the Executive Committee announced that … Read more
Ronnie Floyd is the stereotypical megachurch pastor in the SBC. He’s also geared up to leave his home church to climb the denominational career ladder. As the typical megachurch pastor, Floyd hangs out with the likes of charismatic arch-charlatan, Kenneth Copeland. He joins forces with hyper-charismatic IHOP. In many ways, Floyd started the ‘woke’ movement … Read more
