St. Michael Lutheran Church, in Unionville, PA, preaches on the 'Queer Beatitudes' "Blessed are the broken, for they are not broken. Blessed are the hated, for they are not worthy of hate. Blessed are the closeted: God sees you shine anyway"

ICYMI. Transformation church 'pastor' Mike Todd trashes the stage and then destroys a bible by pouring syrup and whipped cream all over it, all for a perverse sermon illustration.

"(Saying) you have to claim Jesus as your Lord and Savior or you won't get to heaven makes no sense." Rev. Anna Flowers of the United Church in Walpole argues that "I am the way, the truth and the life" is NOT literal, & that there are many valid religions and ways to Jesus.

The point of the story? Everyone from TGC to Christianity Today to Harrison Warren and Allberry are strange birds and compromised. There is a history. There were signs, and that no one should be surprised when things so sideways. Oh, and also, any long-time followers of us already knew all of that, so consider becoming a subscriber or patreon and help keep our ever-growing archives of theological mischief-makers vibrant bustling.

This article was then tweeted by Glen Scrivener, also an author at The Gospel Coalition. Scrivener’s words on his tweet said “So. Much. Sanity. I love this” Coming full cricle, this was also retweeted by Sam Allberry, who apparently also has so.much.love for supposed labia-like baptistries or vulvariffic baptismal fonts.

Follow this for a second- which is the sort of thing Protestia documents. 🧵🧵🧵 In 2019 Tish Harrison Warren, an Anglican priestess with the ACNA, wrote an article for Christianity Today detailing the actions of transgressive Lutheran impastor Nadia Bolz Webber, who melted down ‘purity rings’ into the shape of a woman’s ladyparts and gifted it to pro-abortion feminist, Gloria Steinem.

All this is true.
Pastor Mathis@ShawnMathis1972

Back when Allberry was a writer and eventually an editor at @TGC, he used his status to soften the churches' resistance as I show below. Will they recant from using and endorsing him, participating in the queering of the American church? He denied personal attraction to gay sex was wrong & was OK with being gay while teaching that "David was a pretty boy." 1. OK with personal attraction to sex w/ men: "So, I would be uncomfortable with saying same-sex attraction is sin." Interview on White Horse Inn, Sept. 2015 "I think if you say to someone that their same-sex attraction itself is sin you are effectively saying you need to repent of being fallen. And I am not quite sure what that means or what that looks like." Sam Allberry, "Is Same-Sex Attraction A Sin?" @ Moor's ERLC website 2. OK with being gay: Questioner: “If you could be shown the roots of your same-sex attraction …and you could be brought to complete heterosexuality, would you be open to that?” Allberry: "Would I be open to it? I mean yes and no actually. There are times I would think, “Actually I would like to be a husband to a wife and a father to a kid”…But in another sense, I really don’t mind..."---2017 interview at Lansdowne church While working at Living Out (which he founded), they published an article stating this: "Godliness is not heterosexuality – in fact, we would say that we are perhaps more godly due to our homosexuality than anything else.” 3. OK with breaking gender stereotypes: “in contemporary language, David was a ‘pretty boy’ [1 Samuel 16:12] and he was someone who spent an inordinate amount of time playing the harp and writing poems about his feelings.” He based this absurdity on a double error. He wrongly assumed that music and poetry are not manly pursuits and misapplied the Old Testament Hebrew word." “He knew what it was like, if I could put it this way, to have body image issues because we are told in Isaiah 53 that people turn their faces away from him…there was no greater dysphoria than when He who knew no sin became sin for us. That is the ultimate experience of being in the wrong flesh." Allberry: "Am I saying that transgendered people are all futile in their thinking, foolish in their hearts, and darkened in their minds? No. I am saying that is true of all of us, without exception. Paul is making those comments to the human race…None of us, not a single one of us, is qualified to determine our own identity. And whatever identity we come up for ourselves will not be a good fit."--“How Can I Know My Gender?”

Back in 2022, Sam Allberry claimed he was wearing a wedding ring to remind himself that "God is pursuing him." This was the same year he was in an "inappropriate relationship" with another man.

So-called "Side B" Christianity (the idea that sexual desires remain morally neutral until acted upon) is not just a PCA problem. The SBC bought in years ago as well. ICYMI: protestia.com/2021/05/04/sbc…

@Ngamini2004 This post reeks of an unhealthy amount of speculation over another's supposed giddiness over a brother's downfall, respectfully.

I have my disagreements with Sam, but this post reeks of an unhealthy amount of giddiness over a brother’s downfall. Furthermore while it definitely is true that God can remove someone’s same sex attraction, where is it promised that He will? That just seems like a prosperity gospel. Christians are called to turn from sin regardless of whether God decides to remove their sexual attraction to the same sex or not. Also on the first point, as Augustinians it’s always puzzled me why we are so quick to say that same sex attraction is caused by abuse. Thats Pelagianism. Sin comes from the heart, not from the environment.

Breaking: Sam Allberry has resigned as pastor after revealing he'd been involved in an "innapropriate relationship" with another man several years ago. Notably, Sam was one of the architects for the acceptance of Same-Sex Attraction Christianity (SSAC) whose false beliefs include: -Same-sex attraction is never a result of early childhood abuse and is always unchosen. Same-sex attraction only becomes sin if it is acted upon. -Homosexual acts are no different than other sins. -Christian regeneration has no influence over same-sex desire. -The church is guilty of oppressing this group instead of helping them bear their cross of unchangeable same-sex attraction

Statement from Immanuel Church about Sam Allberry. They knew he engaged in an inappropriate relationship with another man in 2022, didn't think it was disqualifying and still decided to bring him on as pastor, but then later discovered new information about this relationship that was previously undisclosed, and then gave him the boot.
