Rosaria Butterfield joins Joshua Gielow and Mary Weller to discuss her upcoming lecture at the Peter Jones Lectures. Speaking as a former casualty of feminist ideology, Rosaria traces the roots of modern feminism from Mary Wollstonecraft through American feminism’s embrace of
Grateful for @DennyBurk and my brothers at @CBMWorg for the opportunity to discuss where "complementarianism" came from (namely the Danvers Statement) as we have a broader discussion about functional female officers within the courts of the PCA. Have a listen
I’m a former New Ager like Russell Brand is, and I’ve been consistent in my criticism of him from the start.
I know the language Brand speaks. I’m fluent in it. And it sounds to me like Brand is—perhaps unknowingly—trying to launder his New Age beliefs through Christian-sounding language.
This wouldn’t be a big deal, except he’s a multi millionaire with all the access and time in the world. He could pause his entire online persona for a full year, and read a few books about the faith he now professes. Or speak to pastors (or priests) around the world and learn about the faith.
Except he didn’t do that. He made his faith a cornerstone of his ECONOMIC identity right from the start. Almost from day one he was having conversations with megapastors and TV stars behind a paywall.
Are we allowed to question that? Or is does a man’s follower count insulate him from all criticism?
Because here’s the thing: the Kingdom doesn’t need him. It doesn’t need his reach or his audience. God’s done just fine this far.
But Brand needs the gospel. So is anyone in any position courageous enough to pierce Brand’s heart, for Brand’s sake? To talk him into a place he can’t talk his way out of? To chase him down in the name of Christ, for his own good?
It would seem not.
Can you imagine a Bible-believing church hearing from a pastoral candidate that he had engaged in an adulterous relationship with a congregant's wife two years prior to applying to be their pastor and simply saying, "Not a Problem!" and then making him in their new pastor? Of course not.
However, the whole "Side B" mentality imports a false view of sexual sin into the church. It takes a sin that is considered worse in Scripture than ordinary adultery because it's an unnatural sexual sin and makes it far less serious than heterosexual violations of the 7th Commandment.
"The leaders of Christ’s church must be the ones modeling the good for all. Hence why the DFW focuses so much on what elders, ministers, and civil leaders are doing for the kingdom."

Jung most definitely did not believe in the God of the Bible. He was a Gnostic. Read his Red Book.
I recommend Peter Jones' @truthXchange "The Other Worldview" for more.
Jung's models don't hold up at all. They lead to navel-gazing and seeking the answers "inside ourselves." Original Sin predicts we can't find the answers inside ourselves, because our selves are corrupted by sin.
Scripture says only the Holy Spirit can regenerate us as beings, giving us new hearts, which is the real issue. Not "fulfillment" or "relief," which are the only things psychology provides. It's not enough.

@travismcneely Yes, his book "The Other Worldview" is excellent, especially on Jung. And I've got a stack of a few other titles of his in my Amazon cart.
Dr. Peter Jones @truthXchange if you happen to read this, I'd be honored to host you on my show.
@jonkay A good place to start with an analysis of the spiritual aspects of all this would be here: https://t.co/P3OLa0g0hp It was written in 2000 by Dr. Peter Jones at @truthXchange, and frankly it's even more evidently relevant now.
