Come get your theologians!

If you think a dude's theology can be "ABSOLUTELY SPLENDID" when he's violently anti-Semitic and encourages the mass slaughter of exploited starving peasants, your Gospel and theology are worthless privileged trash. This is not difficult. 1/5
We aren't talking Luther flicking someone off during rush hour, sleeping around on his partner, wasting $ on frivolous Amazon purchases, or cheating on an exam. You know, the common kinds of "everyone's a sinner" sins

Stop flattening "all sins" into "everyone's a sinner"! 2/5
Flattening "all sins" into "everyone's a sinner" is a rhetoric that erases the victimized and directs sympathy to exploiters in positions of power.

No, screaming at your parent is not the same as facilitating mass death, protecting sexual predators, or paying poverty wages. 3/5
If "we need to have a serious theological discussion" about whether violent anti-Semitism is "disqualifying," *your* theology promotes concern about the wrong damned things.

Theology whose instinct is "But how can we salvage dude who encouraged mass death?" is bad theology. 4/5
What would Volf think of White evangelicals that still promote Southern Presbyterian theologians because their theologies of Scripture and Justification were "ABSOLUTEY SPLENDID," and their enslaving apparently shouldn't distract from such basic Gospel common ground?🤮 Oops. 5/5
