If Christian’s get to judge LGBT folks, that means that LGBT folks get to judge Christians. Who said… “Judge not, lest ye be judged?” Christian sexual repression leads to sexual abuse. According to the French government, the Roman Catholic Empire raped over 32O,OOO innocent French children. Just since 195O. If we extrapolate from this French datum for the at least 8 other Roman Catholic dominant countries, we end up with over 3 million children raped by Roman Catholics just since 195O. The FBI is currently investigating the rampant level of sexual abuse of women and children in the Southern Baptist Convention. Which is the largest Christian denomination in America. Liberty University, the famous Evangelical University, recently was fined 14 million dollars for just ignoring the significant level of rape on their campus for many, many, many, decades. Christian sexual repression is not innocent, as it leads to an ugly level of sexual abuse. So take care whenever you are in the sexually toxic Christian community. Especially the child raping Roman Catholic Empire. Remember that idealism is always, always, always, based on denialism. This is why the Christian community is again attacking the LGBT community as being sexually dangerous. LGBT folks are not groomers. As the evidence demonstrates the actual groomers are largely sexually repressed Christian males. They are just engaging in ugly and hateful deflection to hide and conceal their own sexual toxicity. They are just scapegoating and distracting from their own sexually criminal behavior and history. "Look over there, not over here." So don't be fooled by all of their ugly and hateful lies. And remember that if Drag Queens are all about love, then it begs the question as to what Christianity is actually all about? So therefore perhaps Drag Queens can help Christians learn how to love better. As currently they all seem so love disabled. Even though Mother Nature has never been heterosexual, but has always been, and will always be, LGBT. Just like her natural world of which we are all a part. See the brilliant and amusing recent Peacock documentary titled: QUEER PLANET. 💙

The bigger lie is that the rectum is a sex organ!?

I listened closely to the entire conversation, quietly and without distractions. It's actually very easy to listen to Jennifer as she is a well-spoken woman. I admit I am no theologian. As a matter of fact, I am learning continuously to hear God's word. I struggle more than I wish I did with growing in my relationship with God. I would really enjoy a fruitful conversation between Jennifer and someone who could lovingly challenge some of her ideas. I would also love to know what Bible she is reading.

I REALLY LIKE IT THIS IS IS HIS DAUGHTER

I love you dad

I listen to your hate speech, it sickens me

Mclaren offers many mischaracterizations of Evangelical Christianity. For example, I and many Trump voters chose the lesser evil over Biden and Clinton. The first century Apostles were set apart from the world. They preached the exclusivity of Christ. I trust the Bible and its historicity.

I have a friend who is sucked into Alisa’s theology, so I went to check out her podcasts… one thing stood out in the many podcasts I listened to - she only has on guests who agree with her and cheer her on. If she really is trying to defend “the truth”, why not answer questions directly, or let people see all the views and decide for themselves? Jesus welcomed questions and clarified Truth… growing people asks lots of questions…

This was a beautiful discussion.

Purity Culture made me feel lonely in the 90s & early 2000s. I felt very lonely when I see my friends kissing & holding hands. I’m a man.

Hindu who reveres Jesus Christ and who would love to see more Christians like you. RE: "ObjectiveTruth". As you might know, various flavors of Hindu Nondualism state that (1) ultimate reality cannot be anything objective, because (2) all objects are derivative and dependent. Rather, ultimate reality is the Original Subject, the Self of all selves, the Cause of all causes, which is discovered when--by one or more yogic methodologies together with divine grace--the conventional sense of "I" is deconstructed, so that "I and my Father are One."

Great interview. Very helpful!

2 Cor 6:2

Unfortunately, this idea of being sexually pure has boiled over into secular society as well, long ago. It’s become very hypocritical too, as there are those in both religious and secular arenas spouting such purity and yet are not pure themselves in such manner. It’s ridiculous. It’s just another way to attempt to control others, and it’s especially used on women.

2:30 blood on his hands? Francis Schaeffer literally did more for the gospel and truth biblical faith than 1000 pastors of that time. I'm sorry he's had such a hatred for his heritage. I would give many things to have my grandfather be a fraction the man that Francis Schaeffer was

so it's now incorrect to say that Jesus died on the cross for our sins??? "substitution' now has no part in the finished work of Christ on the cross???

I love the wisdom shared hear and the grace in which it is shared.

Fear is alway the root of the fruit of negative behaviour. If people are reactive to our doubt they have a fear that is triggering their reaction.

Nonsense.

Ok guys, I got one for you, why does it appear that the entirety of Christianity at large has come to a stop at the foot of the cross? I’m not detracting from what was accomplished their, but what happened to moving on? At the ascension, the angels ask our befuddled spiritual ancestors, “Why do you stand looking into the heavens?” The focus of the institution seems to be “church” growth at all costs instead of exploring the relationship of Christ with the body and the body getting to know each other. Thoughts?

Love this...... Thank you ❤️❤️

It seems theyre setting the stage for another monster. Another Napoleon, or Hitler, or Stalin, or maybe Mussolini. Its destroyed my family. Some refused to vax. They died. Both my grandmothers died, due to the people around them were careless, never wore masks, and now they are dead. DEAD. And I wonder if some do it on purpose...to get their inheritance early. Sounds sick right? Yet it happened thousands and thousands and thousands of times, and assuredly they knew what they were doing....a legal murder. Then walk around spreading it at the store, at the game, murdering and murdering right and left. Jesus WILL NOT KNOW them.

The Word is flawless. We need nothing more than that. I fear changing meanings to fit the times is how we got into this mess. When people you trust spout their "version" of evangelism, thats dangerous and misleading. Wherever two people meet is a church. Mega churches mean mega money which invites Satan to the party. And the youth cheered......something is definitely wrong with some people.

Im reading "Faith Undone" by Roger Oakland. Im concerned theyre trading spiritualiry with "group think faith" which basically changes church to an AA meeting.

Sorry but we already see what happens when you remove shame. Now we have old 304s who can't get married and raise their fatherless children to become weak broken adults. Shame is good. Purity helps preserve your value to your future husband. It also keeps dangerous disease in check. Purity is much better than the alternative...this is why just about every major culture embrace it. This isn't limited to Christianity.

I personally do not agree with Brian Mclaren’s judgmental comments about the Catholic faith. Some of my closest friends are Catholics and they are far removed from being right wing evangelicals. I can totally understand why Catholics would be offended with Brian’s offensive comments.

What if we said As a LDS member I see something is very wrong in our church and we need to repent? Can you speak to that?

I just popped on this.. weird. I’m LDS.. it seems this authority trap you describe in Evangelical churches exists in ours. We have it set up exactly to be authoritative We don’t have to get off track like you describe they did. We have a prophet not a pope.

“We’ve got a whole lot of pretending going on”. Yep. Finally Christianity as farce became my exit point. Dissembling pastors and teachers… Christianity as nightmare, as magic show..

👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

Honestly, I’m done with Evilgelicals! I don’t really call myself Christian any more. If they can endorse Donald Trump and spew out their vitriol, but telling me I’m going to hell, hogwash!

My experience and observation in Evangelical deconstruction is, that is as far as they go. I have seen that the evangelical deconstructs straight into atheism. I think it may be that when the evangelical loses that substitution, penal, atonement theory and realize that the bible is not inerrant they go straight out of the church and into a non believing status.

Thank you both so much. I am 74 years old and am so puzzled by where the church is. And frustrated. Unenlightened is giving me hope.

Dragging us back into ignorance and superstition as well as modern Christian solipsism.

Haroor Har! I just heard the practical sense of the actual Gospel of Christ that the 1st 2-3 centuries ecclesia understood. Sadly lost in 4th century political correctness. Today western Evangelical dogma still sold out to Constantine.

This dude is a fraud, to much ego not enough silence, people need to learn staying quiet is wisdom.

I agree, but to often, people on both sides stop listening, and all hell breaks out, tragically!! Just as they are afraid of historical education (CRT) being taught in schools etc, no one wants to hear the truth when it’s make them unenlightenly sad, they burn books, like the Nazi did before The outbreak of WWII…

😁 Promo>SM!!

It’s time for Christian Church to put on the sackcloth and move toward repentance! The world is in suffering and we can be the hands and feet to bring healing. How can we bring in Billions in tithes but still have hunger and homelessness!! It’s time we love our neighbors ! Our God is Love It’s time for a revolution of peace!

Frank Schaeffer describes why we don't like each other: we don't socialize in the really meaningful sense. Neighbors, relatives, customers, business people: they're just stepping-stones toward goals that exist only inside our heads!

Eric - what's going on with your website? As a graphic designer, I am pumped about your Unelightenment brand!

People who aren’t Christians are lost, or in a different consciences way of thinking. I was.

Isn’t the cross to deal with death, Satan and the lost afterlife .

Why can’t we have the real scriptures?

I grew up the NIV. Now I’m a mess, because things are falling apart.

Sacrifice of animals and people is PAGAN. I live in England, we have a history of vikings and pagans.

Psa is a legalistic outlook

I am not sure you check back in with this, but I am wondering if Calvinism introduced this theology or doctrine into Christianity, what is the Catholic doctrine and how does it compare and what does this information add to the conversation. What is the Nicene Creed's proclamation mean? I understand the Law was only given because people refused to listen to and hear God's voice and personally obey it?

I am presently reading Faith After Doubt. I can hardly put it down. I have been so dismayed at my doubts in matters of faith the past few years. This book is a God-send because McLaren is telling my own life story in this book. I think I am in the Perplexity stage now, but looking very forward to reading about the Harmony stage, in hopes of getting there.

Great interview!
