TGC Author: Christians Have Endured No ‘Hostility’ or ‘Ill-treatment’ From Govt During Pandemic From TGC Senior Editor’s Favorite TV Show Contains Graphic Homosexual Sex Scene s to TGC Writer Says The World Should Have Let Hitler and Nazis Conquer Unopposed, their track record is abysmal and the majority of their contributors are deeply theologically compromised. The transcript is lightly edited and due to the low sound quality, may contain errors.Īlso, this is hardly the worst thing TGC has ever done. But yeah, (Man that’s helpful)”Įditor’s Note. It’s been a while since I’ve like that passage. And so, when Jesus is telling the parable of the four soils and the planting of the seed like it’s the Sperma, you know? (Ah, Ok)īut then it’s also the word that’s used for human and so in the context of 1st John there, the imagery is birth imagery- that we have been conceived by the sperm of the seed of God, which is in reference to I believe his word. You know, but it’s literally the word ‘seed’, which in Greek and Hebrew, like, seed can refer both to like plant seed or human seed. I have to go back and find the exact, but it talks about us being conceived by the Sperma of God. Where it’s like ‘Seema’ or something like that in the language.”īutler: “Yeah, it’s in 1 John. That its “receive” has a sexual, not just like connotation, but denotation. So yeah, because I think it’s, I really need a double check this but I think it’s James 1 where it talks about how like, receive with meekness the implanted word, which is able to save your souls. And that that relationship is marked by both generosity and hospitality. So, I know I kind of threw a lot out there, but I think there’s this beautiful picture of sexual union as an image of Christ’s union with his churc h and the way that he, you know, yeah. Like, nurtures and nourishes us (unintelligible) children of the king and his bride. It actually causes her to bear children of God, to bring us forth as children of God into the world and to nurture and nourish us as the, you know, the bride of Christ. It’s like the church cosmically, like the whole church whatever.īut there is this picture of this intimate union that the church has with Christ as our King and our Lord, where we receive his presence within us, we receive his word (unintelligible) within us and that Christ’s word and his Spirit, his seed and his presence, it makes his bride fruitful. And the bride here is a corporate figure. Is while there’s a mutual self-giving between Christ and the church, there’s also a sense whereĬhrist penetrates his bride with the seed of his word, with the presence of his Spirit. And then the female sex is kind of the passive/ receiving your spouse within yourself.Īnd I think that’s significant when we look to our union with Christ and the nature of salvation And historically that’s often been called like the ‘active’ and ‘passive’ roles in the equation, right? That on the male side of the equation has active role of penetrating one’s spouse, one’s bride. You know, one bodily union (unintelligible) it’s actually describing what’s happening in the act. As early as March 17 2021, on the Proven Ministries webshow, he was teaching them and working them out with host Shane O’Neill.īutler: The Bible is less prudish about its language than we are. While this all continues to trend, these arguments from Butler are not new. In this case, we failed you and hurt many friends.” We will also review our publication processes more broadly at TGC and develop plans to ensure greater accountability to you, our readers….We want to model grace-filled conversations, and we want to learn from one another. While he will no longer participate in these events, Josh remains a beloved brother and friend whom we respect and care deeply about… He will no longer lead an online cohort with the center nor speak at TGC23. Earlier this week, we accepted Josh’s resignation as a Keller Center fellow. “…we took the time to listen to our critics and the serious objections from concerned fellows, as well as discuss this matter with our Board of Directors and care for our friend Josh. The article landing page now displays a message from TGC President Julius Kim, who shares: These rebuffs include fair-minded critiques unimpressed with these crude comparisons, endorsers of the book who admit they never read it in the first place and were forced to retract, and the usual cadre of cry-foul ChristianHarpies seeking to use these questionable texts as a way to score points against complementarianism while bolstering their own bizarre notions of gender roles. After the Gospel Coalition’s Keller Center for Cultural Apologetics published an article about the similarities between sexual intercourse and the church’s union with Christ, which was an excerpt from Pastor Joshua Ryan Butler’s brand new book, both he and TGC received unprecedented pushback.
