The Narrative Behind the Narratives, by Dr. C. H. E. Sadaphal

For this first post of 2020, I am grateful for the following contribution by my friend and brother in Christ, Dr. C. H. E. Sadaphal. In this timely and well-researched piece, Sadaphal carefully connects the dots with regard to current events in the world and church and the anti-Christian ideologies which preceded them. He provides us with a succinct analysis of what I have routinely termed, “The Narrative”, and in the words of the late Dr. Stan Monteith, brings us “the story behind the story”. Links to a podcast of the article and Dr. Sadaphal’s website are provided at the end.

Ex-Roman Catholic Priest Richard Bennett on Liberation Theology

On the homepage of nopeacewithrome, I assert that

The encroachments of Romanism are plainly evident in the doctrinal downgrade, charismatic chicanery, and ecumenical evisceration of Truth so prevalent in contemporary evangelicalism. But the retreat to Rome is not confined to areas of soteriology. Some may even hold to the biblical gospel and yet be thoroughly romish in their political and economic theory, Thomistic in their epistemology, compromising in their protology, and/or Jesuitical in their eschatology.

Judas the socialist, by Shane Kastler

The following article is by Shane Kastler. It is reposted with permission. Original post here.

If Judas Iscariot was walking the earth today, he would make an ideal presidential candidate for the Democrat party. With the recent, hard left veer toward socialism, he would fit right in. He was socialistic to the core. He loved to spend other people’s money. He loved to criticize how THEY spent THEIR OWN money. He loved to act like he cared for the poor, all while using it as a ruse to line his own pockets. And scarily, he had the ability to influence others toward his way of thinking. Continue reading…

On Sam Allberry and ‘Living Out’

When the Statement on Social Justice and the Gospel was published back in September of 2018, some Christians wondered why its framers felt the need to include affirmations and denials concerning the subject of “Sexuality and Marriage” (article 10). In light of Matthew Vines’ publication of God and the Gay Christian, Gregory Coles’ Single, Gay, Christian: A Personal Journey of Faith and Sexual Identity, and Sam Allberry’s Is God Anti-Gay? (and the subsequent rise to prominence of Allberry’s Living Out ministry), by now it should be abundantly clear why this component of the social justice narrative had to be squarely addressed. Continue reading…

The problem isn’t the Great Commission, by Tom Ascol

The following article is by Tom Ascol and reposted from Founders Ministries (access the original here).

Anthony Bradley has been a loud voice in the social justice movement among reformed and evangelical Christians in America. He actually helped awaken me to the threat of this movement to the gospel. It was his comment on Twitter on December 22, 2017 that started bringing into focus what I had only been seeing through a haze over the previous year or so. In response to Jonathan Leeman’s article suggesting that evangelicals don’t need a better gospel, Bradley wrote,

Here’s the problem(and this will be hard) [sic]: from a black church perspective, evangelicals have never had the gospel. Ever. Read the book “Doctrine A Race” [sic]. Here then is the actual Q: When will evangelicals embrace the gospel for the first time ever? #BlackChurch

How Romanism ruined America, by John Robbins

On the No Peace with Rome home page, I stated that

“The encroachments of Romanism are plainly evident in the doctrinal downgrade, charismatic chicanery, and ecumenical evisceration of Truth so prevalent in contemporary evangelicalism. But the retreat to Rome is not confined to areas of soteriology. Some may even hold to the biblical gospel and yet be thoroughly romish in their political and economic theory, Thomistic in their epistemology, compromising in their protology, and/or Jesuitical in their eschatology.”

Indeed, almost all erroneous roads lead to Rome and her foundation built upon sand. Rome’s pernicious influence must not be overlooked when scrutinizing the rise of socialism among American politicians and Christian leaders. Continue reading…

Molech and the masters of deceit

“Abortion is kind of fading as an issue….”

–Nancy Pelosi, 2017. Washington Post

“[Abortion] continues to be the fight of our lifetime.”

–Hillary Clinton, 2019. Bloomberg

“Kavanaugh is going to reverse Roe v. Wade. I have no doubt. Gorsuch is going to reverse Roe v. Wade. I have no doubt. So what do we do? Protect ourselves. Pass a state law that is a prophylactic from the Federal action.”

–Andrew Cuomo, 2019. Bloomberg

“A fool has no delight in understanding, But in expressing his own heart.”

–Solomon, 900 BC. Proverbs 18:2

The seduction of ‘social justice’ (part 1): Repackaging the social gospel

Much has been written in response to the Statement on Social Justice & the Gospel since its release to the public on September 4^th. For a document that articulates basic Protestant orthodoxy with such brevity and precision, the emotional outcry and negative reaction of some professing Christians is beyond my ability to comprehend.

Nothing new under the sun: Bill de Blasio, social justice, and the social gospel

PETER ROBINSON: “Why don’t the American people see through [elitist nonsense]? Isn’t that the fundamental bet that the Founders made, that voters…ultimately would see through nonsense?”

THOMAS SOWELL: “Yes, but that was before nonsense became a large part of the curriculum of our educational institutions.”[1]
