TGC Announces Next Round Of ‘Good Faith Debates’
The hive of scum and villainy known as The Gospel Coalition is putting on a series of debates to be aired from late February- March between several prominent folks. This is to be a “five-part video debate series featuring prominent Christian thinkers discussing some of the most divisive issues facing the church today” to show that “it’s possible for two Christians united around the gospel to engage in charitable conversation even amid substantive disagreement.”
During the last round of conversations, they functioned more as an amiable discussion rather than rigorous debates, frequently failing to do any meaningful cross-examination or ask hard-hitting questions designed to pierce the armor. Famously, during his debate, pacifist TGC writer Andrew Wilson argued that the world should have let Hitler and the Nazi’s conquer unopposed.
If we could suggest some topics, we’d offer these:
- “Does watching sex scenes on TV make one better at evangelizing, as TGC’s Senior Editor Brett McCracken argues?”
- “Must we repent of our parent’s and grandparents racism, as TGCs contributor Rebecca McLaughlin says?“
Instead, we get these:
- Debate #6 : Should Christian Parents Send Their Children to Public Schools? | Jen Wilkin vs. Jonathan Pennington
- Debate #7 : Should Christians Support Tougher Immigration Laws?| Matthew Soerens vs. Darren Guerra
- Debate #8: Should Addressing Climate Change Be a Public Policy Priority for Christians? | Brian Mattson vs. Jake Meador
- Debate #9 : Should Churches Be Slow or Quick to Embrace New Technology? | Patrick Miller vs. Jay Kim
- Debate #10: Can Racial Reconciliation Happen Without Racial Justice Being Achieved First? | Darryl Williamson vs. George Yancey
About Author
TGC is nothing more than a collective of godless wolves masquerading as something pious behind the word “Gospel”.
Isaiah 5:20 – Woe to those who call evil good and good evil, who put darkness for light and light for darkness, who put bitter for sweet and sweet for bitter!
You see evil as good and good as evil.
You honestly think your two stupid “gotcha” questions make better debate topics than what they’ve scheduled? I’m no fan of the Gospel Coalition (understatement), but it’s just juvenile to complain about those topics. Complain if they do a bad job at shining the light of God’s Word on those topics, but not about the topics themselves.
Get better writers.
They don’t use bylines because it’s all garbage.
Get better arguments.
Their ‘topics’ are meaningless within the context of orthodoxy. There is no point to debate these childish queries. They have no interest in the actual Gospel.
