@TylerLeeConway @acepperson @JayMallow3 They are socially conservative as defined by current political terms. Theologically it’s more a free for all. They might believe in a literal resurrection for example but also believe that Jesus is a created being, as we see in recent survey work.
Unpopular Church teaching: if you are an employer, and relish the thought of getting a “good deal” on labor, but the person you hire cannot provide for his own, his wife’s, and their children’s present and future needs by working full time hours at your job, you commit grave sin.

@nathanalbert Northwest Suburbs. So might not count for Chicago purists! Our in-person community is mostly in the North Shore neighborhoods. Where in the area are you from?
@thomaslhorrocks Also I never hear anyone playing it out logically to “Eternal Subordination of the Spirit”. Do they not need to establish that person of the Godhead’s hierarchical position too? Are they revealing that they *really* always viewed the Spirit as subordinate?
