Laodicean Apostate Beth Moore Apologizes for Teaching & Promoting Bible Doctrine as she walks away from the Southern Baptist Convention
nteb ^ | 4/8/21 | Geoffrey Grider

Posted on 04/10/2021 12:35:38 PM PDT by Roman_War_Criminal

Beth Moore is in the process of slowly, but quite steadily, sliding down the very slippery slope into full-blown Laodiceanism, not that she was ever all that solid to begin with. Over the years, Beth Moore has defended homosexuality, and claimed direct revelation from God with her ‘vision’ that all the denominations of the Church, including Roman Catholicism. In light of the success Pope Francis has had in launching the One World Religion of Chrislam, she might be onto something.

“In like manner also, that women adorn themselves in modest apparel, with shamefacedness and sobriety; not with broided hair, or gold, or pearls, or costly array; But (which becometh women professing godliness) with good works. Let the woman learn in silence with all subjection. But I suffer not a woman to teach, nor to usurp authority over the man, but to be in silence. For Adam was first formed, then Eve.” 1 Timothy 2:9-13 (KJB)

Now I personally have little to no use for the Southern Baptist Convention, an organization that has sliding down the same, slippery slope that Beth Moore has been sliding down, albeit in a different direction. They have replaced the God-honored King James Bible with the rubber sword of the ESV, and has been growing rather soft on preaching against the LGBTQ+ agenda. Beth Moore wants all the trappings of the ministry without actually doing it God’s way, she wants one foot in church and the other in the world. Don’t let this woman’s false teachings take you down the same slippery slope she’s traveling on.

Beth Moore Unravels as She Begins to Reveal Her True Views on Biblical Doctrines FROM WASHINGTON POST: First she shook the evangelical world by leaving the Southern Baptist Convention. Now Beth Moore, arguably the evangelical world’s most famous Bible teacher, has begged forgiveness for supporting the theology of male headship rooted in many evangelical cultures.

In a Twitter thread Wednesday, Moore took aim at complementarianism, the 20th century theological framework that argues men and women were created for different roles and that effectively champions male headship and female submission.

“IF YOU WATCH THE TRAJECTORY THAT BETH MOORE HAS BEEN ON, YOU WOULD SEE A CLEAR PICTURE OF APOSTASY BEING PAINTED BEFORE YOUR EYES. IT’S NOT THAT BETH MOORE HASN’T BEEN A FALSE TEACHER SINCE SHE STARTED TEACHING FALSELY YEARS AGO–DISCERNING CHRISTIANS HAVE BEEN POUNDING THAT CASE FOR YEARS. BUT IT IS INCREASINGLY EVIDENT THAT BETH MOORE HAS LITTLE REGARD FOR THE ACTUAL DOCTRINES OF SCRIPTURE AND IS IN THIS TO SUIT HER OWN PASSIONS AND DESIRES.” SOURCE

For some evangelicals, complementarianism is a line in the sand. Those who question it are seen as undermining belief in the Bible. Moore said that was wrong.

“Let me be blunt,” Moore tweeted. “When you functionally treat complementarianism — a doctrine of MAN — as if it belongs among the matters of 1st importance, yea, as a litmus test for where one stands on inerrancy & authority of Scripture, you are the ones who have misused Scripture. You went too far.”

She also apologized for her past view on the matter.

She also apologized for her past view on the matter.

“I beg your forgiveness where I was complicit,” she said on social media. “I could not see it for what it was until 2016. I plead your forgiveness for how I just submitted to it and supported it and taught it.”

Some female historians said Moore’s tweets were a decisive shift. Beth Allison Barr, a Baylor University historian and author of “The Making of Biblical Womanhood: How the Subjugation of Women Became Gospel Truth,” likened Moore to the biblical Joshua commanding the people to shout so the walls of Jericho fall down.

“SHE JUST SHOUTED,” BARR SAID. “THIS IS GOING TO BE THE BEGINNING OF THE END OF COMPLEMENTARIANISM.”

In an email to Religion News Service, Moore didn’t go quite that far. She said she has not entirely abandoned complementarianism, but no longer sees it as essential.

“I’m not going to be pushed into either category right now because that’s not my point,” Moore wrote in response to a question about whether she was still a complementarian, or its counterpart, an egalitarian. “My point is that it has taken on the importance of a first tier doctrine.”

But apologizing for her role in supporting and teaching that theology, which she had submitted to, is a major step for Moore.

I have to admit I don’t know what is meant by “complementarianism”.

I’ve never heard of it either until this piece of work started using it.

What is complementarianism?

Answer: Complementarianism is the teaching that masculinity and femininity are ordained by God and that men and women are created to complement, or complete, each other. Complementarians believe that the gender roles found in the Bible are purposeful and meaningful distinctions that, when applied in the home and church, promote the spiritual health of both men and women. Embracing the divinely ordained roles of men and women furthers the ministry of God’s people and allows men and women to reach their God-given potential.

Thanks. So, I don’t see the controversy. What would be the complaint about that?

What the Bible says about Laodiceanism

Worldliness: “the love of beauty—that which one finds attractive, appealing, or desirable—without a corresponding love of righteousness.”

The product of worldliness is that, rather than “tend and keep” as he was commanded by God in the Garden of Eden (Genesis 2:15), man will “use and abuse.” Undoubtedly, Eden was gorgeous, the best and most magnificent environment anyone on earth has ever lived in. What did Adam and Eve do? They used and abused it until God was forced to banish them from it, placing cherubim with flaming swords to guard against their return (Genesis 3:24).

The general record of mankind is that wherever he has put his hand, man has not beautified but used and abused the earth. God is more concerned about man’s spiritual beautification than He is about the physical earth, but He warns very clearly in Revelation 11:18 that He will “destroy those who destroy the earth.”

Man does not have the right concept of beauty. He has the wrong standards and ideals because Babylon impressed itself upon him. He uses and abuses virtually everything, and the results show everywhere on earth. This approach to life manifests Babylon’s way and illustrates why God commands His people to come out of it

Apparently she is complaining about it.

Folks who follow Moore tend to take Scripture lightly and reinterpret it as she does.

She’s jumped on the LGBTQ bandwagon as well.

Mrs and I went to a BM conference years ago.

Glad my Mrs dropped the BM stuff shortly after.

Thanks to God for the gift of discernment He instilled within my soul. First time I heard Beth I knew she was a false Christian. I don’t know how to convince others when my instincts are correct in these matters but at least God protects me.

About 10 years ago the “womans group” did one of her studies.. I only attended the first, because in it she has what I considered a false teaching ...(so long ago i cant remeber what it was). The other women were willing to overlook it..but if she had one she has others.. and so I just stopped going ...

Nicolatian. The false church is being windowed out. They love the world and it’s perks. To be spit out soon. Christ told us that if you follow him, you will be persecuted.

Really?

Some woman I’ve barely ever heard of more famous that John MacArthur and Chuck Swindoll for example?

The guy loses credibility here.

As a Christian woman I don’t have a problem accepting complementarianism teaching as Biblical. I do not consider it a “salvific” or primary doctrine of the faith, though. Where I see the problem is when men take it too far and refuse to even hear what a woman has to say on religious topics - as if a woman cannot possibly teach them anything. I’ve run into that on Religion Forum threads here on Free Republic! It can get pretty silly.

That sentence is grammatically incomplete.

"...that all the denominations of the Church, including Roman Catholicism, *what*?"

It means you had damn well complement her looks, grace, holiness, beauty, wisdom, holiness, and superiority 24x7x365, or your ass is grass.

Beth Moore can’t understand the New Testament.
St. Paul outranks her.
