Gavin Ortlund asks Redeemed Zoomer if he would attend a church where the pastor "does not believe Jesus was bodily raised from the dead" over a conservative church split off from the mainline RZ: "I would, and I did for several years in high school." GO: "Is that a personal decision, or would you say that for, suppose there's someone else who's strong in their faith. Would you also give that counsel to others?" RZ: "Yes."

UCC 'pastor' explains that Jesus wasn't actually born of a virgin because: "The word 'virgin' in the first century had more to do with a woman who made decisions independent of a spouse. That's the way I like to think of it, that Jesus was born to an independent woman."

Calvin prof Kristin Du Mez says in the ab**tion debate, we have an "impoverished theological discourse" on "ensoulment," or when the soul enters the body. In other words, let's figure out how much time we have to k*ll a fetus before we're morally culpable for k*lling a soul.

The Table Church's pastoral intern, Junia Mays, has some thoughts on the authorship of the book of Lamentations: "There's this anonymous poet, and he's a sad guy. Actually, we don't know that he's a guy. Probably from some of the pronouns but it doesn't matter. A sad person."

![N.T Wright says Americans' defense of gun rights is inconsistent with their defense of the unborn, because they are too polarized by social media, they accept "over-simplified" arguments to fall in line with a particular leader, they can't handle "nuance," and ultimately, they just aren't an "educated electorate." But does this sound like a nuanced, educated take on gun laws? "When I go to America, it always astonishes me that the same people are vitriolically opposed to abortion and vitriolically in favor of everybody carrying guns and being prepared to shoot people at any time. On the one hand, you'd have thought if they're so concerned about preserving human life, even in embryo and in vitro, etc., then why are they not concerned about preserving human life when it comes to, say, a school shooting by somebody who's been able to walk into a store, even though mentally disturbed, and buy a weapon-grade automatic rifle? I mean, for somebody from the other side of the Atlantic, and I suspect for you [Carey Nieuwhof] in Canada, this is just nonsense."](https://image.24vids.com/tw-1831713089072271848/ext_tw_video_thumb/1831712915839197184/pu/img/Ga_Kyu9Rn6VgKlnO.jpg)

The Holy Post is CONCERNED and ALARMED that Allie Beth Stuckey is speaking at the Q Conference this year "without a countervailing presence," which is "signaling to evangelicals who are more centrist or even left of center, like, this probably isn't for you." Real Mean Girls stuff

It appears "power dynamics reduced Bathsheba's agency" is now, at some level, orthodoxy at Biola University After a ton of ultra-nuance, prof Carmen Imes' final word on the subject: "I'm hesitant to call this adultery...It implies that there's consent on both sides."

SUPERCUT: The week after Biden dropped out of the presidential race, I found over 50 churches hyping Kamala Harris during their worship services, clearly using shared talking points. Here we see some of them sharing the good news of the Vice President's fundraising numbers:

![James T. Roberson III of Bridge Church NYC denounces the assassination of Charlie Kirk but spends roughly half his statement (and even the following prayer) dragging the man's name through the mud: This morning before we pray, I want to lean into some of the political tension in our country and the recent assassination of gentleman named Charlie Kirk, who was assassinated this past Thursday, I believe. And I've written out a statement here. 2 Corinthians 10:3-5 reads this way: "For though we walk in the flesh, we are not waging war according to the flesh. For the weapons of our warfare are not of the flesh, but have divine power to destroy strongholds. We destroy arguments and every lofty opinion raised against the knowledge of God. And we take every thought captive to obey Christ." In this text, Paul is reminding us that as believers, our battle is not a physical battle. It's a spiritual battle God has called us to be a part of. And it is therefore not fought with carnal weapons but with spiritual ones. And I think in this political tension that we live in, Charlie Kirk and other political activists, particularly some on the evangelical right, often see ideas and policies that claim to be Christian, but they're fought with in a carnal posture. They're fighting for Jesus with anger and harshness and rage. And the danger of that is when you when you fight spiritual battles in a carnal way, the world responds with that same carnality. It's as if the world says we know how to do worldly better than you. So, let me be clear. I denounce his assassination veheminently [sic], and we all should. That shouldn't be hard. It's wicked. That's obvious. It is also wicked to celebrate his death. It is carnal to celebrate his death. To lack empathy for someone who doesn't have empathy for you is to live in carnality. At the same time, while he fought for ideals that he believed were Christian, I also denounced the way he carried himself and especially the way he talked about black people. So, here's what I want us to remember as a church, what I need all of us to know. People are not defined by their ideology. They are defined by the image of God. Genesis 1 says "God created them in his own image." So here's what we've got to understand. Charlie Kirk, at his core, is not a Republican or a conservative. He is a child of God made in the image of God who has right-wing positions. And as a believer, we're called to see people not politically but spiritually. The Bible says in 2 Corinthians 5, "From now on, therefore, we regard no one according to the flesh, even though we once regarded Christ according to the flesh." I think we're getting some feedback over here, FYI. So, let's be clear. We should be grieving with his wife, his kids who have woken up this morning without a father. We should weep with those who weep, and we should be praying for their families. But I also grieve for our country that elevates people into hero status and martyr status so quickly. Disagreement is not wrong, but it's how we disagree that matters. And my prayer is that we, the people of God, would resist the temptation to fight our battles with carnal weapons. Instead, let us choose a spiritual posture that Christ has given us, because truly, the weapons of our warfare are spiritual and not carnal. Amen. Pray with me. Father, we pray right now that as we jump into the word here, we do lift up the Kirk family. We lift up those who are weeping this morning. And I pray, God, for a spirit of compassion in this room. Make us wise with what we post online. Make us wise with what we watch online. But just because someone fought for Jesus doesn't mean they fought like Jesus. God, I pray for a spirit of peace. I pray that a spirit of fruit in our community and I pray that we would renounce all elements of the flesh. Now, God, be with us. Speak to us in this time. In Jesus' name. Amen? Amen.](https://image.24vids.com/tw-1967602982502969655/amplify_video_thumb/1967602711454535681/img/ehzR-pZimW_hp8lR.jpg)
