@TNTJohn1717 This is just amazing and hysterical… A lot said here without saying anything other than extrabiblical jargon. Thank you @alisa_childers

1.) To your claim of “merging worldliness with Christianity” I’m very curious how you exegete Mark 16:15 then… “Go into all the world and proclaim the Gospel to the whole creation”— Do you think this means go into the world and proclaim the Gospel to only Christians because, well… in your words, it’s “stupid and sinful” otherwise.

2.) You still have not come forward on my previous claims (the video where you openly slandered us and deleted, and deleting the prior thread I initially called you out on X). At this point, you’re not being forthright and truthful, but cowardice. The video was not behind your members paywall until I called you out in the comments section. That’s a fact. Otherwise, explain to me how I would’ve seen it and commented?

3.) We don’t have to agree on musical style. This isn’t about tastes in art portrayal. I get that.

4.) If you want to speak on James 4:4, let’s dig in. My exegesis here would be that James is challenging people who have turned their hearts from God and fallen in love with the world. (Do you personally know our hearts to know that’s the case? Have you ever been around us to rightly judge the fruit you see? No, you haven’t.)

I also think a clear indicator in how we “have made friends with the world” is behavior. Quarreling? Fighting? (James 4 1:2) Bitterness and selfish ambition? This seems to be your entire platform (You’ve now twice brought up selling a book after publicly slandering us, and your last tweet mentioned “I even put you in a documentary” which I’ll go out on a limb and say also is slandering us.) “But if you have bitter jealousy and selfish ambition in your hearts, do not boast and be false to the truth.” (James 3:14)

To your bottom line point. Again, I’m not pleading that we agree on music. I grew up in a culture of this legalism with music and the like, and I get it. You don’t like the style. Fair. I could be at peace and mercy with you if this is where this stopped. But it hasn’t. Your claims are erroneous in calling people “stupid, sinful and fleshy” and this is a long thread in how you go about what you do. You’re practicing cowardice by refusing to acknowledge what I’ve called out, or just deleting it altogether. Lastly, you’re not in good faith speaking on the inspiration of scripture alone and exegeting properly, as you did with James 4:4 above. You believe in the inspiration of your interpretation of scripture, and that’s clear.

@SolaScriptura98 Um… yes and amen to all of that! However, I think you missed my sarcasm and what I’m referring to 👍

My 3 year old just asked to listen to “Daddy, John, Korey and Jen O Come, O Come Emmanuel” and shouting “OUR GOD IS WITH US” with everything she has. We don’t usually listen to blasphemous versions of this song, but just this once…

@SummrWrites 💯 truth has been spoken here

[John Ehrett @johnehrett]

When I was in college, I went to see Skillet perform with Papa Roach on the “Monsters of Annihilation” tour. To this day, one of the most chaotic concerts I’ve ever been to.

John Cooper got up on stage in a room full of vaguely high/drunk metalheads. Declared that all their music had a point, that life was worth living, and told that audience that their only hope lay in the name of Jesus. I’ve never seen anything like it before or since.

[LEDGER @JenLedger]

I’m very proud of how unashamed of the gospel our front man @johnlcooper is. He’s been bold for the faith for decades, and he’s impacted my own life greatly! We have a great band of believers- and I’m humbled to be on such an incredible team ❤️@koreycooper @MorrisonSeth

1.) This is or has never been about you liking our music, or our style of music. There are multitudes of styles, genres or songs that just don’t resonate with me even in Christian music. That’s ok. Am I online taking any and every hit at them I can, claiming it’s “satanic, stupid and sinful?” No. That would be foolish.

2.) For the THIRD TIME… You’re refusing to acknowledge the entirety of the point John was making in a 5 minute speech. You cut out 30 seconds of it and ran with it… I encourage people to read the article I linked above ⬆️

3.) In terms of musical styles (and back it with a book, chapter, and verse) what style of music is is exclusive to and suitable in your eyes and pleasing to the Lord?

4.) You’re not truthful on the topic of the video. If this video is and was always only for your audience, please tell me how on earth I would’ve seen it, Spencer?… It was after I discovered it, and publicly called you out, that you deleted it from the public, and hid behind your paywall. You’ve refused to acknowledge or explain this.

5.) You also haven’t acknowledged deleting the other thread of tweets in the photos above that I’ve publicly refuted, which led me to respond here.

We do not have to agree on musical styles. I can absolutely understand someone not liking rock, or metal, and that not being their thing. No offense whatsoever. But when you’re publicly claiming people you don’t know are “stupid and sinful” that you don’t know, you need to repent.

6.) I’ve left a handful of photos here for those to see of why we do what we do. Hopefully you can understand God works outside of our personal preferences in art.

Controversy!! To all our supporters, thank you! So many of my friends have had our backs. I love and appreciate you. To my critics, I love you too. Thanks to @ChurchLead @JesseTJackson for reaching out to me for a quote. Excellent article https://t.co/aQm5slWzZr

@conservmillen Thank you @conservmillen 🙏

[Seth Morrison @MorrisonSeth]

@alisa_childers 🙏 thank you friend!

[Seth Morrison @MorrisonSeth]

@megbasham @johnlcooper 🙏

[Seth Morrison @MorrisonSeth]

@BroSpencer And in case you need clarification, this was public repentance 3 times. Once on @HwsEleutheroi, once on @alisa_childers, once on his own channel Cooper Stuff. Clearly, you don’t diligently inform yourself before making ignorant claims.

[Seth Morrison @MorrisonSeth]

@BroSpencer Indeed. John talked about this years ago on his podcast. Which I’m assuming you’ve never listened to an episode in entirety. Instead, you think stewardship of what platform you have, is to tear down those you do not know who have been faithful.
