Birds of a feather?

There is a lot of dissonance in the evangelical version of Christianity and the answer to any doubt is that you need more faith. At its inception, Evangelicism was a blockade against cultural change (abolition) and nothing has changed.

Evangelicism was and is against abolition, ERA, civil rights, immigration, birth control, school busing, public education, the welfare of any kind, etc. If they are involved in any kind of social welfare it is proselytizing because salvation and white male privilege are at its core.

I would challenge your version of Faith in Christ. You come across as very political of your interpretation.

@Pfuzylogic My version is ever-changing. Knowledge is power.

@SWMae conflation misrepresents.
It might be a personal understanding and I could see how one might come to your conclusion based on incomplete information.
God is so much more than politics.

Personal understanding and incomplete information? Years of study do not transcend the common perception of reality/experience. This is history. These are facts. But sure, you keep doing you, boo. 👍️

@SWMae 10 % of all archeological sites have been explored, there is a tremendous lack of history. There is no foundational historical agreement on history. I have to wonder where you dig your “facts” up or how studied you are.
Are you touting some post secondary study you have done. I am curious about this confidence you seem to brandish.

Calm down. Why are you so condescending? This will be my final response to you because you're reacting aggressively without provocation. I'm assuming you're saying I'm distorting scripture. Okay, the Crusades, the Spanish Inquisition, and the persecution of Anabaptists by the Reformed and Lutheran traditions, in and following the Reformation Era, yes, there is a tendency to get certain things wrong about what the Bible says. But I disagree with you that there is no foundational historical agreement on history. Unfortunately, evangelicals have rewritten history to fit their agenda. Period.

You seem to be very aggressive. Once you get your chill going on let me know. You don’t entertain defended arguments well. It is sad.
