I couldn’t remember exactly why so chat reminded me:

“Yes—you're remembering correctly.
At the first Evolving Faith conference, the worship team sang Nothing but the Blood of Jesus, and afterward some attendees—especially people processing religious trauma—said the imagery and atonement language was triggering or painful.
The Evolving Faith team later acknowledged that feedback and apologized for not being more thoughtful about song choices for that audience. The apology was framed around pastoral sensitivity and the reality that many attendees came from backgrounds where “blood” language or certain doctrines were tied to shame or spiritual abuse.”

Like I say it’s an impossible to please group who can’t agree on anything 100 percent

My educated guess is that “What can wash away my sin? Nothing but the blood of Jesus.” was the offender.

Based on what I’ve heard from Sis, the progressive ideology says there is no sin. There is no hell. Everyone is just free to “live their truth” and “follow their heart”. Jen even once said that she told her kids, “this exploration is safe, because hell does not exist”.
And because Jen has the emotional and intellectual maturity of a child, she has never once thought this through to its logical end. If there is no “sin” and cool, hippy Jesus just wants us to be happy - why did He have to die? And what makes one person”s exploration acceptable, while she condemns others’? We’ve actually spoken on this thread about a man that Jen defended and celebrated, for leaving his wife and children to be with his male lover and live authentically. Isn’t this what Brandon did as well?

So, what can wash away my sin? From the viewpoint of this crowd, it’s not Jesus. It’s just vibes.

What was the objection they gave for using the song "Nothing but the Blood"? too gruesome? too Jesus-focused? That we need MORE than the blood?
