Rachael Denhollander Twists the Evidence to Smear MacArthur and Biblical Counseling

In the wake of The Gospel Coalition memory-holing Josh Butler’s article sexualizing Christ and the Church, Abuse Incorporated and its “expert” figurehead Rachael Denhollander jumped on the opportunity to blame Butler’s icky article on – you guessed it – John MacArthur and biblical counseling. Denhollander reminded her Twitter followers that

The Total Depravity of James Lindsay

A couple of days ago, Protestia published an article noting that, just like the inaugural event last year, the Turning Point USA Faith’s 2023 Pastors Summit will feature James Lindsay as a primary speaker. While Lindsay is at present a committed atheist, his work in identifying, defining, and exposing wokism

“Not Heterosexuality, But Holiness” Is An Unnatural and Unbiblical Compromise

It is still being peddled in seemingly orthodox evangelicalism: “The opposite of homosexuality is not heterosexuality, it’s holiness.” Or plagiarizing pastors sling this line: “Do you know how I know homosexuality doesn’t send you to hell? Because heterosexuality doesn’t send you to heaven!” Consistent with the special exception in modern

SBC Credentials Committee Boots Saddleback Over Ordination of Female Pastors

The Southern Baptist Convention’s Executive Committee followed the Credentials Committee’s recommendation to disfellowship Saddleback Church of Lake Forest, California due to the church’s ordination of women to the office of pastor, putting an end to the 18-month controversy that has raged within the convention over the Bible’s teaching versus the

Lies Abound in Liberal Christianity Today’s Rehashed Smear Piece on John MacArthur

Another Shepherds Conference, another run at trying to destroy John MacArthur. Personal baggage, threats, and long-disproven claims drive the tabloid salaciousness of Christianity Today’s rehash of the 20+ year-old Eileen and David Gray saga. The most damning evidence: Contrary to the narrative forwarded in Kate Shellnutt’s article, Grace Community Church

‘Thankful’ SBC Leaders Leatherwood and Barber Simp for the Party of Baby Murder

In a statement that would make Russell Moore’s favorite abortion doctor blush, newly-appointed president of the SBC’s Ethics and Religious Liberty Commission (ERLC) Brent Leatherwood out-lefted every other “pro-life” leader by simping for the Biden administration with a statement celebrating the State of the Union speech as a “bad day

Op-Ed: Don’t Be a Boob And Sweat The Small Stuff

Stop it. Just stop it. I have reached the end of my patience with gullible, pearl-clutching evangelicals falling for the same bait-and-switch. You know which one. The one where woke online babies apply a Pharisaical, legalistic standard for personal behavior or speech, placing burdens on the shoulders of anyone they

Bad Stuff to Good Stuff: Theological Song Review of Graves Into Gardens

For readers who have seen prior theological song reviews here at Protestia, it may seem like most reviews result in a failing score. This is true – most do fail. This is because we insist on a high doctrinal standard for extra-biblical materials, and because the current state of affairs

Doug Wilson’s Hamartiological Orientation

Regular pew-sitters like myself have long been the beneficiaries of the unafraid, unapologetic wisdom of pastor Doug Wilson. We live in a church age where, as Wilson aptly noted in his blog post discussed below, the prizing of feminine characteristics in church leadership has created a “third sex” in evangelicalism.
