[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yes! The post above about how Jen made a big serious theological deal ( serious for her at least) about her new LGBT position, BUT- presto- now sex whenever is fine, no questions, no accompanying Bible study, no big announcement like she did with her daughter- it's just weird. And sad. You phrased it so well.
Never mind the sex- maybe a new study- " for the love of money"- would be most helpful here.[/quote]

When you start “reinterpreting” aka rejecting the parts of the Bible you don’t like, eventually you reject all the verses. It happens over and over.

Jen always espoused a works-based gospel. That’s fundamentally what the Social Gospel, now rebranded Social Justice gospel, is. You pay for your salvation by how woke you are. It’s no different than sending a check to Joel Osteen, except the SJ gospel is much much judgier. The problem with both gospels is that first, they are lies based on lies perpetuated by liars. And second, they ALWAYS disappoint when life gets hard, which often leads to repugnance and anger with God. How could he let these bad things happen to me when I was so “good”.

The true gospel of JC says, you’re a hot mess, and you’ll never be able to fix it, which is why God had to send Jesus. The world is a hot mess and will only get worse. Accept that Jesus came to fix you, *not* the world, you will grow holier and that will change how you respond to it. But growing holy inherently means you have to stop sinning, and God defines what sin is, not the culture, and not you.

That last bit about sin is the stumbling block for many. But if you reject the I-don’t-get-to-define-what-sin-is part, the truth is, you’re just not that into Jesus after all.

He’s not your therapist, he’s not your guru, he’s not your bestie. He’s your LORD. He calls the shots and you trust that his ways are better than yours.

I don’t think Jen comprehends that.
