(Protestia) Famed New Testament scholar N.T. Wright shared more about his long-standing position on the early chapters of Genesis, offering that not only is it poetry that is not to be taken literally, but that “Adam” and “Eve” were simply a primal pair of hominids (a type of primates that first appeared 5-7 million years ago) living among other hominids when “some strange force or power” called to be a part of “the human” project.
We recently wrote about Wright after he suggested abortion may be a tragic yet best allowable option in cases of rape, incest, or for the mental health of the mother who can’t deal with a child with physical and mental deformities, and after he offered that belief in the bodily resurrection of Christ is not necessary to be a Christian.

…Abraham believed God, and it was counted to him as righteousness — and he was called a friend of God. (James 2:23)
“There is a growing tendency among many Christians in the West to redefine the second greatest commandment instead of simply misapplying it. To these misguided minds, when Christ said, “Love your neighbor as yourself,” he actually meant, “Make sure your neighbor feels loved by you.” The difference between those statements can be a matter of (eternal) life and death.”
“A gender-dysphoric child who finds “comfort” at North Point is likely to be encouraged to socially, hormonally, and surgically transition.”
“Scripture isn’t vague. Jesus was tempted in every way except sin (
(Richard Henry – TruthScript) For the past few years, scandals have plagued the American church. From well-known pastors plagiarizing, committing adultery, or using anonymous accounts to slander friends, there has been no shortage of improprieties. Then there’s the blame game. If one pastor is guilty of a particular sin, does that mean his friends are as well? Guilt by association is a real thing, but some distinctions should be made.
“A man firebombs Jews and allies while shouting pro-Hamas rhetoric? That’s a textbook act of terrorism. But not to CNN, which dragged out none other than disgraced former FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe—yes,
“We have consistently witnessed Sean publicly point his finger at the sin of the world yet repeatedly fail to take responsibility for acknowledging, repenting of and turning away from his own serious and habitual sin”
(Bob DeWaay) There are no extraordinary Christians; but being an ordinary Christian is an extraordinary thing. How I wish I would have understood that when I was a new Christian. But I didn’t. Soon after my conversion I began a quest to become the best possible Christian. In so doing I fell prey to teachings that promised me a Christian life superior to that of ordinary Christians. What I did not know was that I had embraced pietism. I didn’t become an extraordinary Christian and I did walk straight into error.

“The damage that Peterson has done has been to allegorize and relativize Christ and the Bible into oblivion in the minds of many of his listeners. If you watch Peterson’s lectures and read his books without a pre-existing grounding in Scripture, you would walk away thinking that the Bible is a remarkable collection of stories that provide spiritual and psychological insights into how to live a virtuous, happy life. What you will not hear is the gospel.”
“The Right finally seems to be positioned to mount a much-needed counter-revolution and confront these imminent issues. Yes, there are grifters and content generators galore. But there are also patriots who are serving in key posts in the second Trump administration and founding startups that will revolutionize America.”
“People are feeling it—pride fatigue. That bone-deep, soul-level weariness that hits when you realize the world has traded morality for sexual chaos and now demands applause for the trade. They’re tired of having to pretend that they believe men can have babies. Tired of pretending that gender is a hat you try on at Target. Tired of smiling politely while someone’s mentally unstable grandpa in fishnets lectures the world on authenticity.”
Jill’s advisors were allegedly running the show, along with Jill? Not Barack? “They particularly focus on Deputy Chief of Staff Annie Tomasini, the first lady’s top adviser Anthony Bernal, and longtime aide Ashley Williams, who joined the deputy chief of staff’s office when Tomasini ascended to the role earlier this year.”
“This is the man who left the pulpit not to pursue deeper biblical truth, but to cozy up to a charismatic caravan of error, dragging confused followers behind him like spiritual roadkill.”
While Bongino stopped short of calling it a “hidden room,” he made clear the material had been deliberately withheld from oversight. “I wouldn’t call it hidden, but hidden from us, at least, and not mentioned to us.”
“Americans deserve to know which unelected staffers or radical unnamed activists implemented sweeping change through an autopen. The Biden energy agenda destroyed livelihoods of energy workers and fueled the record-high inflation that broke the budgets of millions of Americans. The question is simple, and deserves an immediate answer: what did Joe Biden know, and when did he know it?”
“If the Democratic Party has suffered a fall, the media has orchestrated its own slow suicide. Once the proud champions of the First Amendment, legacy outlets like NPR, CNN, and The New York Times now act as apologists, archivists, and airbrush artists.,,,They didn’t just miss the Biden story. They buried it.”
“Roughly 75% of America’s youth aged 17–24 do not qualify to serve in the military due to obesity, asthma, allergies, autoimmune diseases or behavioral disorders.”
“The tragic irony is that N.T. Wright has spent years fighting off caricatures of his theology from more conservative critics, insisting that he holds to the core doctrines of the faith. But when the moment comes to draw a line—to stand on truth, to call a man a man and sin a sin—he turns into a theological fog machine, obscuring everything with sentimental platitudes and academic evasion.”
