The editor in chief of Christianity Today is warning that evangelical Christianity is moving too far to the right, to the point that even Jesus’s teachings are considered “weak” now.
A former evangelical leader is sounding the alarm about the direction his religion is headed in.
The idea that the worst thing you can be is "weak" and the most important thing is to be "strong" is one of the most harmful and destructive ideas in the world.
Well at least they're being honest now about not caring for his messages of love and compassion.
My goodness, even fundamentalists think the looming fascism is "a step too far, at least right now."
"Christians, get out and vote. Just this time . . . Four more years, it'll be fixed, it'll be fine, you won't have to vote anymore, my beautiful Christians." Donald Trump to a room full of Christian conservatives, July 2024
This is Russell Moore, he's been beating this drum for years. Evangelicals go after this guy like he's the antiChrist.
Good news that they finally started to read some of that Bible.
Oh, he thinks it’s too far now and that it wasn’t too far up until now? Fascism and christianity have always been comfortable with each other. Anyone trying to paint christianity as ‘good’ is either deluded or deceitful.
He's only 45 years behind the curve here
![It was the result of having multiple pastors tell me, essentially, the same story about quoting the Sermon on the Mount, parenthetically, in their preaching — "turn the other cheek" — [and] to have someone come up after to say, "Where did you get those liberal talking points?" And what was alarming to me is that in most of these scenarios, when the pastor would say, "I'm literally quoting Jesus Christ," the response would not be, "I apologize." The response would be, "Yes, but that doesn't work anymore. That's weak." And when we get to the point where the teachings of Jesus himself are seen as subversive to us, then we're in a crisis.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_fullsize/plain/did:plc:tfsefp5skxsk2s53jz55juv2/bafkreiafkgjubbzsxuk7zgigabu2tu2wxgaq5gtejid5cizdln7ckirn2a@jpeg)
