A stunning loss. God rest her soul and be with her family and with anyone struggling to make sense of their faith in this age of confusion.

Here was Pastor Russell Moore's quote offering to the New York Times:

Russell Moore, president of the Ethics and Religious Liberty Commission of the Southern Baptist Convention, said that he was her theological opposite in almost every way, but that she always treated him with kindness and with humor.

“I was on the other side of her Twitter indignation many times, but I respected her because she was never a phony,” Mr. Moore said. “Even in her dissent, she made all of us think, and helped those of us who are theological conservatives to be better because of the way she would challenge us.”

If she was of the opinion that homosexuality is cool then she was surely no Christian...despite any claims she might have made.

Here was Pastor Russell Moore's quote offering to the New York Times:

Russell Moore is an open-borders traitor who heads the George Soros funded group, Evangelical Immigration Table (EIT). He regularly acts as a beard for radical La Raza groups, by falsely quoting scripture to support illegal alien amnesty. No wonder he was a fan of this NeverTrumper, God rest her soul. He also supports "progressives" like AOC on wealth re-distribution, couching it in the Gospel. He is truly repulsive.

May God Rest her soul, it is not my place to judge her, that is the in God’s wheel house. She seemed to have an honest soul. I pray God is forgiving of my sins!

Evans drew a large following in the evangelical community in both progressive and conservative circles. She criticized widespread evangelical support for President Trump, encouraged women in church leadership and questioned a literal reading of the Bible, among other issues.

Sounds more *progressive* than conservative to me.

Besides, just who would she suggest we support for president?

A baby killer? Or someone who endorses and supports them?

This should scare any Christian, the contemplation of what happens to those who fall away from the Christian faith. Joining the Episcopal religion would not help her, like joining any other cult that denies God’s Word and His authority.

No loss. She seems to confuse politics with religion

Why do you describe her death as a ‘stunning loss’?

1. Never heard of her. Media tends to hype people to fit their narrative.
2. Sad situation, she was under 40 and leaves a young family.
3. Seems like she was contrarian just because. Her position on LGBT, evolution, etc. seem to be counter to spite.
4. No winners here.

Rachel Held Evans, a best-selling Christian author who was unafraid to wade into fierce theological battles over issues such as the role of women, science, LGBT issues and politics on her blog and social media, died Saturday, after spending weeks in the hospital for an infection. She was 37.

Saw that elsewhere. She's someone who I only know by reputation. Our lives are fragile.

My oldest daughter is almost her age.

She seems to have done her best to cause and proliferate more confusion who would come across her “works.” Prayers for a deeply disordered and misguided soul.

Christian who believed in evolution ...... came down on the left wing side of things. Lolwut? Christian pro-lifer Hillary supporter. Huh? Sounds like a very confused young woman. Sad that she might have died in this state of confusion.

“She advocated for the full inclusion of LGBTQ people in the church and analyzed her own complicity in racial bias after the police shooting of Michael Brown in Ferguson, Missouri...

...As an adult, she became a vocal critic of “shame-based purity culture.”...”

https://slate.com/human-interest/2019/05/rachel-held-evans-the-hugely-popular-evangelical-writer-is-dead-at-37.html

She also argued pro-life people should vote for Hillary. In her own words

https://rachelheldevans.com/blog/pro-life-voting-for-hillary-clinton

Hadn’t heard of her before today. Would much rather have heard she had repented instead of died. But she was working for the other side. Maybe she was just STUPID, but she was working for the wrong Boss.

Paul called these teachers of demonic doctrine and subpressers of the truth. Now we just say that it was a “stunning loss”?

I have no respect for false teachers.

Leave it up to the satanic WP to come up with the phrase of “progressive Christian author”. It is a fictional term.

Rachel Held Evans, progressive Christian author who challenged evangelicals, dies at 37

Oxymoron?

Maybe the problem with religious folk is that they feel the need to wade into politics and society and get burned and split into factions doing so.

I like to think of the Higher Being as being above our debates over who to vote for and support politically.

I’m not trying to single out because the liberals come out using God just like conservatives do.

I’m bothered by all sides, not just one of them.

I’m sorry she died so young. I could say more but I don’t wish to be cruel.
