Andy Stanley Responds to Protestia on Twitter. Sorta
Andy Stanley of North Point Community Church has responded to several of his critics on Twitter, choosing not to engage them honestly but instead posting a video with a short and sarcastic message of agreement.
What seems to have provoked him to comment is a recent post of ours where we clipped him denying many of the biblical creation accounts, suggesting that God had to tell the Israelites about a literal six-day creation because they weren’t smart or sophisticated enough to handle the truth. This criticism is fairly mild, however, compared with the revelation that his church is engaging in repeated instance of LGBTQ-affirming behavior, which we pointed out.
He did not ‘respond’ to us exclusively, however, and made similar comments to several critics, as if this video is sufficient to explain why his teaching is so corrupt and his church behaving so wickedly.
North Point Community Church has not responded to multiple requests for comment for any stories we’ve written.

For other non-LGBTQ Controversies, Stanley made waves for encouraging Christians to essentially throw out the Old Testament, arguing that believers should “unhitch” themselves from portions of Old Testament Scripture. He went on the warpath against doctrine in general, claiming that “unity is more important than theology.”
Stanley argued that Jesus’ birth and the events surrounding the nativity doesn’t really matter, thus casting doubt upon his supernatural birth by saying “If somebody can predict their own death and then their own resurrection, I’m not all that concerned about how they got into the world” and “Christianity doesn’t hinge on the truth or even the stories around the Birth of Jesus.”’
Stanely has been on a roll since the pandemic hit, telling members that the “Foundation of our Faith is not the Whole Bible,” that the Lord does not require them to meet for church, that George Floyd was “This Generation’s Samson,” and to “Sleep late and skip church” during Father’s Day.
Stanley continues to be in our spotlight due to his theologically bankrupt behavior. Recently, he claimed, “Here’s an uncomfortable fact: white people fear black men” and went on a woke Critical Race Theory tirade by arguing “it’s not enough to be ‘not racist,’ you must be ‘anti-racist,” before telling them that they’re all racists in their hearts. This was a few months after he lamented the fact that churches were fighting the government to stay open and have their church services, saying he was embarrassed by it.

This guy jumped the thealogical shark long ago. Why people attend his church is beyond me.
Because he is saying what they want to hear (2 Timothy 4:3-4).
Bingo!
Goats want to hear goat speak. It ain’t rocket science.
We recently left the church after 17 years because we could no longer support the direction the church is heading . But to the defense of many people we know who still go there, many of them feel the desire to leave as well, but like us, their kids have been raised at this church, their kids are still feel attached to their small group friends and leaders and so its hard to pull them from that, not to mention the fact that they have been attending most their adult lives and now have to embark on a difficult journey to find a new church! I feel it has hit a tipping point for us, but I have grace for those who are still finding it difficult to leave. They are not all sheep but I would say “weary” from life, and they are struggling with commencing on a very difficult task of church searching, as many of us can relate. But slowly, many of them are beginning to do so.
