Let's shake things up and drop a late-post of Coffee & Christian Worldview today, to talk about something recent.

Though the post of Arkitekyuklid has been deleted, the "progressive Christianity" that it represented is a pernicious cult in the Philippines that needs to be addressed. And he was quoting someone else, whose article has been around since 2016.

Even though he deleted his post and commented an apology "for posting that," he has yet to renounce the content itself as unbiblical, letting everyone who saw it know that he does not believe that error.

"Jesus was a protestor."

Christians who hold the Bible as their authority need to be more upset about pictures of Jesus.
Pictures of Jesus are a violation of the 2nd Commandment.

The caption to the cartoon, that included a fake picture of Jesus:

"Jesus devoted his life to speaking, helping, supporting, defending, empowering, healing, freeing, and loving everyone, especially saving those who were in desperate need from the hands of oppressors, rulers, officials, mobs, and those who intended to harm, kill, and destroy — because Jesus was a protester.
"Sometimes the most Christ-like thing we can do is protest."


Arkitekyuklid copied from an article in a “progressive Christian” magazine:
https://sojo.net/articles/jesus-was-protester

"Progressive Christian" is a new term for Liberal. Liberalism, not Christianity.
You can expect rejection of orthodox Christian doctrine and ethics.

You can see what kind of blasphemous trash that magazine is about on their Facebook page, from transvestites to female preachers.

When a professing Christian quotes from a source like this, you have to ask: is this individual a Christian at all?
A Bible-believing Christian would not defer to this garbage.
Does he hold to biblical Christianity or "progressive Christianity"?
"Progressive Christianity" is a false religion.

Progressive Christianity is dangerous because of the use of biblical language.
It's a mixture of truth with error.

What does a "protestor" look like?
A bunch of university students standing on a corner with signs, yelling.
Jesus wasn't rallying against the government of his day. He wasn't leading a march. He wasn't calling for the overthrow of Rome.

Jesus was breaking man-made traditions, but followed God's Law to the letter. He came not to abolish the Law, but to fulfill it.

Jesus did not have the attitude or program of a protestor.
Jesus was preaching the Gospel of God.
He was not a Zealot. He refused to be made an earthly king.

If anything, the Pharisees were accusing him of being a protestor, to Pilate.

Jesus answered, “My kingdom is not of this world. If My kingdom were of this world, then My servants would be fighting so that I would not be delivered over to the Jews; but as it is, My kingdom is not from here.”
—John 18:36

Jesus was bringing the Kingdom of God. He was fulfilling the Old Testament Scriptures.

Jesus claimed to be God.
Is a protestor ever one who is in authority? No. By definition, the protestor is not in power.

But Jesus is God, and man. He taught as one who had authority.
When he was contradicting the religious teaching of the day, he was giving the proper interpretation of the Law.

He was the boss coming down to earth and putting people in their place—the true and greater Prophet, Priest, and King.

One of the hard things to learn is what to take seriously. Some things said or written are so ridiculous, that you can just move past them.
Not everything requires an essay to refute. This Sojourners article is almost that.
https://sojo.net/articles/jesus-was-protester

The overwhelming majority of comments to Arkitekyuklid's post were negative: that's unbiblical, read your Bible more.
The majority recognized that the article quoted was ridiculous on its face.

Let's look at some of the claims.

Many people pull this move: invoking Jesus.
"This is a gospel issue."
Jesus doesn't need to be a member of your political party for you to be right or justified in your views.
It does not need to be a "gospel-issue" for it to be a serious issue.
Christianity has ethics, and biblical ethics is authoritative just for being biblical.
You don't need to add the gospel to an issue for you to take it seriously.
Don't fictionalize Jesus in a cartoon to talk about political issues.

Keep it in ethics.
It cheapens the rest of the Bible: "Unless it's a gospel issue, it doesn't really matter."
If the Bible talks about it, it's important.
We have his Word, work with that.
What is God's purpose for the State? Don't elect someone wicked.

Don't make things gospel, that are not.

The author of the article stephen mattson @mikta Tweeted:
"Dear God, help me to love my neighbor more than I love my Bible, defend the oppressed more than I defend my theological beliefs, and love humanity more than I love my religion."

I think humanity *is* his religion.

Deal with the Bible properly, and don't insert your political agenda into it.
Read the Bible and understand what it says according to its intent, and the whole of Scripture.
Don't just throw Jesus into every issue.

Arkitekyuklid's "apology" comment.
But "why."
There must be repentance for promoting the social-gospel on his page.
Almost half a million people saw it.
Why do you apologize?
Did you just ignorantly promote false doctrine?
Or is that what you actually believe, and you just deleted the post because of the kickback?

If you are on board with the social-gospel, you are not a Christian.
And you need to repent and believe in Christ.

Show Notes:

The matter of women and church office seems to have been a challenge at least since the New Testament. Women in church office has needed explicit regulation. Hence, the New Testament actually addresses this issue.

The conclusion of the matter is made by the explicit statements of Scripture regarding the office of pastor/elder/bishop/overseer (which are synonymous terms) and the role of women in the church.

This is one of those clear, “show me a verse” topics.

Positive statements on the office of pastor: 1 Timothy 3:1-7 and Titus 1:5-9

Negative statement: 1 Timothy 2:11-15

In order for an objection to be valid, it must deal with the text. One must show that these passages of Scripture actually don’t mean what they say. That’s the field of debate.

Any emotional, experiential, pragmatic, situational or whatever kind of challenge/objection doesn’t actually deal with the issue at hand.
