I present this for your consideration. I am still trying to digest this new information myself but thought those of you who have been following this revival might be interested.
This podcaster's point is quite simple and that is that several student groups who played important leadership roles at the Asbury revival self-identify as LGBTQ. He makes his argument for these conclusions.
The "self-identification" as gay is the problem. They're not identifying as formerly gay people who have repented, but as a group of (currently?) gay people. This podcaster accuses these gay groups of trying to insinuate themselves into the revival as a means of increasing tolerance for LBGTQ.
I'll let you draw your own conclusions about the rest.
All that said, I thought this was surprising if not shocking. It certainly threatens to taint what was a glorious event.
If you have any good links, but don’t have time to post them, send them to me and I’ll post them for you.
Asbury University Revival and Asbury Revival 2023 (Official Community Hub) are the FB groups.
The tone of those 2 groups have changed somewhat since the revival has moved off the campus.
I would recommend going back and reading posts from when they started if the format will let you go back.
It was nice for about 10 days as I was getting a stream of great God centered posts .
It definitely changed my attitude.
I agree it was about their lamp stand whether they would keep it or would be taken away
Homosexuals ARE queers. Ain’t nothin’ GAY about ‘em
Not true. Not AT ALL true.
Groups of humans take on a collective mindset (think mob behavior) and, as such, can definitely sin.
We all know how a mob can sin. Mob behavior is usually, if not always, a function of the lowest common denominator of the morality of the humans in its group.
So, given that, what about when a church adopts and teaches a heretical, even evil, doctrine (like homosexuality isn't a sin)?
Churches can doom vast numbers of congregants to hell by misleading them. Rarely do individuals have that power.
I make my own personal decision whether or not to join a mob.
But that's irrelevant to the question of whether or not a mob (or church) can sin.
I would leave any church which blasphemed God. Maobama always talked about group guilt, or “racism in our DNA”. I reject that idea emphatically.
For a half-white man, Barky sure does hate white people.
