WITH DAVID PLATT JOINING THE INTERFIATH / MULTIFAITH DIALOG AND GLOBALIST IN RECENT MONTHS IT SHOULD BE NO SURPRISE FOR HIM TO TURN UP WITH PRESTON SPRINKLE AND THE REVOICE ADVOCATES OF LGBTQ CHRISTIANITY/RACIAL JUSTICE / DENYING ETERNAL JUDGEMENT.

11/16/2021

David Platt has been dancing with the stars on the heretical fringe for years now. He is already in an intense battle over his false justice gospel agenda at his present church McLane Bible. Recently his Radical Intensive /Stratus brand promoted the use of globalist “global goals” data to drive the social justice agenda in missions giving in order to address the so called “great imbalance”. Platts global data partners include World Economic Forum, World Bank, United Nations, CIA mapping and even OPEC.

Of course then he surfaced last month meeting with the leader of Muslim World League which according to one federal prosecutor is “perhaps the most significant Muslim Brotherhood (terrorist ) organization in the world.”

So where is David Platt the social justice warrior misleading his following now? Platt is set to appear in the upcoming 2022 conference for Revoice leader Preston Sprinkle “Theology in the Raw” -EXILES IN BABYLON in March.

Yes it is as bad as it sounds. Sprinkle is not only a long time leader in the “Revoice LGBTQ + Thriving in historically (conservative) churches” but he also heads The Center for Faith, Sexuality & Gender which schools churches on LGBQ inclusion. His upcoming conference which includes Platt will also feature another long time Revoice leader and author of “Single Gay Christian” Gregory Coles. Coles was the “worship leader” in the original Revoice conference which was first incubated in 2017 at Southern Baptist Theological Seminary where Albert Mohler employed its founder Nate Collins as a New Testament teacher. By 2020 the Revoice movements footholds in the PCA and at it’s flagship seminary Covenant (CTS) had SPLIT THE PCA denomination which is still in steep decline as its leadership cannot find the will to condemn the movements assertions of LGBTQ and “Queer Christianity”.

THE THEOLOGY IN THE RAW CONFERENCE

(PLATTS BIO FROM THEOLOGY IN THE RAW SITE)

David Platt

“David Platt serves as Lead Pastor of McLean Bible Church in Washington, D.C., and he is the founder and chairman of Radical (radical.net). David holds a Ph.D. from New Orleans Baptist Theological Seminary and is the author of Radical, Radical Together, Follow Me, Counter Culture, Something Needs to Change, and Before You Vote and several volumes in the Christ-Centered Exposition Commentary series.”

SAMPLE OF SPRINKLES THEOLOGY IN THE RAW TAKE ON TRANSGENDER MARRIAGE

Theology in the Raw SPRINKLE – “Cameron is a male to female back to male formerly trans-identified SSA Christian who has been a pastor/chaplain, and he’s married to a female to male back to female formerly trans-identified bisexual Christian.”

THAT IS SPRINKLE AND HIS NEW NORMAL?

“EXILES IN BABYLON”

MARCH 31-APRIL 2
BOISE, IDAHO

“To be a Christian is to be an exile. The Bible has a name for the country we’ve been exiled to: Babylon.As exiles living in Babylon, we need to think biblically, Christianly, indeed exilically—not partisanly—through cultural and political issues.”

“At the Theology in the Raw conference, we will be challenged to think like exiles about race, sexuality, gender, critical race theory, hell, transgender identities, climate change, creation care, American politics, and what it means to love your democratic or republican neighbor as yourself. Different viewswill be presented. No question is off limits. No political party will be praised. Everyone will be challenged to think. And Jesus will be upheld as supreme.”

ACCORDING TO SPRINKLE

He is “Super stoked about our line up of speakers and artists and Theology in the Raw’s “Exiles in Babylon” conference! March 30-April 2 (in Boise, ID or stream online). We’re going to discuss race, sex, gender, politics, hell, the gospel, and what it means to follow a peasant prophet-King crucified by the state for treason. Registration is filling up fast and space is limited! Go to my website to register. Worship will be truly multiethnic; attendees can pushback and ask questions. Come, bring your presuppositions and lay them at the door, and be challenged to think deeply and love widely.”

SPRINKLE ON REVOICE/IS IT SIN TO BE GAY? AND THE THEOLOGY IN THE RAW CONFERENCE

“Is it a sin to be gay? Would you attend a church that has a gay pastor? What does it mean to be gay? There is still a lot of misunderstanding surrounding the term gay and what it means to be a gay Christian. I discuss these issues at length, which leads into Misty Irons’ incredible talk she gave at this year’s Revoice Conference. “

Theology in the Raw Conference – Exiles in Babylon
“At the Theology in the Raw conference, we will be challenged to think like exiles about race, sexuality, gender, critical race theory, hell, transgender identities, climate change, creation care, American politics, and what it means to love your democratic or republican neighbor as yourself. Different views will be presented. No question is off limits. No political party will be praised. Everyone will be challenged to think. And Jesus will be upheld as supreme”

RACIAL JUSTICE WILL ALSO BE ON THE AGENDA WITH TGC JUSTICE WARRIOR AND PLATTS BLM MARCHING PARTNER THABITI ANYABWILE

Platt and Thabiti work at The Gospel Coalition together and were both part of the controversial ERLC/TGC sponsored event MLK/50 which in 2018 sparked the concerns leading to the current exposure and opposition to CRT/ Resolutions 9 , and BML invasion of churches.

MORE RACE AND LGBTQ ACTIVIST IN THE OFFERING WITH SPRINKLE

Sprinkle recently interviewed one of the primary inhouse racial activist on staff at SBTS Jarvis Williams in the Theology in the Raw interview series.

“I so enjoyed talking to my friend @drjjwilliams about his latest book “Redemptive Kingdom Diversity” on my recent @rawtheology podcast episode!”

“Jarvis is a friend and an incredible scholar. He has written and spoken extensively on issues related to race, ethnic reconciliation, and the gospel–which is the focus of our conversation. “

“Jarvis is Associate Professor of New Testament Interpretation at The Southern Baptist Theological Seminary, where he’s taught since 2013. He has published numerous books, including Christ Redeemed ‘Us’ from the Curse of the Law: A Jewish Martyrological Reading of Galatians 3:13 in the Library of New Testament Studies Monograph Series (T&T Clark, 2019), his commentary on Galatians in the New Covenant Commentary Series (Cascade, 2020), a commentary on Romans (IVP Academic, Submitted and Forthcoming 2021 or 2022), and his most recent book Redemptive Kingdom Diversity: A Biblical Theology of the People of God (Baker Academic, September 2021), which is the focus of our attention in this podcast.”

SOME OF THE LGBTQ “IDENTIFIED ” ACTIVIST “CHRISTIANS” INVOLVED IN “EXILES IN BABYLON” CONFERENCE INCLUDE

CONCLUSION

David Platt was one of the most popular Southern Baptist and evangelical pastors and speakers in America being the product of heavy promotion by the SBC & evangelical machine. His Radical brand has sold books & literally tons of study guides and Radical branding merch for two decades.

Now Platt is facing increasing exposure for his waltzing on the radical heretical fringe and false social justice gospel. He marched in DC during the Black Lives Matter protest and has been at the forefront of the effort to drive the church toward racist bigotry in the name of reconciliation and equity. Platt has joined the Globalist with pushing the church toward “Agenda 2030 Goals” of Sustainable Development with Lausanne Movement. Recently he launched deeper into error with “Multi faith” movement with Muslim Brotherhood organization and NOW with REVOICE LGBTQ + THRIVING. In the matter of Matthew 12 Jesus command to either make the tree good or make it evil- It appears David Platt has chosen the latter.

Matthew 12

A Tree Known by Its Fruit

³³ “Either make the tree good and its fruit good, or else make the tree bad and its fruit bad; for a tree is known by its fruit. ³⁴ Brood of vipers! How can you, being evil, speak good things? For out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaks. ³⁵ A good man out of the good treasure ^[b]of his heart brings forth good things, and an evil man out of the evil treasure brings forth evil things. ³⁶ But I say to you that for every idle word men may speak, they will give account of it in the day of judgment. ³⁷ For by your words you will be justified, and by your words you will be condemned.”

FIRST PROGRESSIVE RUSSELL MOORE – NOW WORLD MAGAZINES “FORMER COMMUNIST” OLASKY ARE OUT OF THEIR BULLY PULPITS. NON STOP TRUMP VOTER BASHING AND THEIR STEADY PROGRESSIVE PARTNERSHIPS HAVE THEM SUFFERING A CREDIBILITY CRISIS.

By Rev Thomas Littleton

11/15/2021

Virtually no one in the evangelical press has been willing to call out Marvin Olasky for WALTZING AMONG THE LEFTIST ELITE except WORLDVIEW WEEKEND, Brannon Howse and this author at Thirty Pieces of Silver. But now Olasky has begun to reap his sowing his wild oats in the mushy middle with other evangelical leaders.

According to NY Times Marvin Olasky, long time editor of World Magazine, is out of a job. The Times blames the ouster on his anti- Trump rhetoric which the Times deemed “Biblical ” opposition. But it is far more likely his recent years of flirting with Obama Foundation and Democratic Party operatives which proved to be his downfall.

Olasky’s “compassionate conservatism” helped brand the Bush W era politics and policies including the dreaded and RUINOUS Faith Based Neighborhood Partnerships giving churches, denominations and Christian ministries access to federal grants. The church has NEVER recovered especially after the Obama administration revamped the FBNP to include radical LGBTQ funders and organizations along with Muslims activist. FPNB also allowed the far left evangelical wing nuts to sit down with conservatives like Southern Baptist Executive Committee CEO Frank Page and find “Common Ground for the Common Good…to get the public funding. This sweet spot of compromise set up conservative opposition for a fall -in fact resulting in an all out effort to collapse the Christian Conservatives into the left.

MARVIN’S TIDY FRIENDSHIP WITH CULTURAL MARXIST TRAINED OPERATIVES

If anyone should recognize a Cultural Marxist at work it would be a “former Communist” right? Not so for Marvin Olasky who boast in his testimony of conversion that he was a “card carrying” Communist by age 24 but came to faith after reading the New Testament in Russian. Olasky’s testimony gave him street cred among evangelicals and likely helped make him one of the key thought leaders among conservative evangelicals and Christian media via his positions at World Magazine and Patrick Henry College (Among many other places).

Olasky is reported to have disliked the rollout of the Bush W era FBNP he had helped inspire BUT Olasky has been uncomfortably familiar in his flirtatious relationships with the Obama era FBNP head evangelical recruiter Michael Wear who has become the Obama Foundations “Ambassador to America’s Believers”. Wear also played a key leadership role in the in the critical theory driven & Campaign’s “Biblical Values & Social Justice” movement which proved to be little more than THE key anti-Trump effort among evangelicals in the lead up to the 2020 election. The & Campaign is also lead by Democratic Party operative /Hillary and Obama delegate Justin Giboney. Both Giboney and Wear have been platformed and featured by Marvin Olasky in his roles at both World Magazine and Patrick Henry College.

IF WORLD MAGAZINE NOT LOSING IT’S WAY THEN WHY IS MARVIN OLASKY PROMOTING MARXIST ?

FROM THE NEW YORK TIMES ARTICLE ON OLASKY’S DEPARTURE

“As the longtime editor of World, a Christian news organization that has a website, a biweekly magazine and a set of podcasts, Olasky has delivered a mix of hard news and watchdog articles about the evangelical realm under a journalistic philosophy he calls “biblical objectivity.”

It involves taking strong stands where the Bible is clear, which has led World to oppose abortion rights and support refugees, he says, and to follow reportable facts where the Bible doesn’t provide clear guidance.

The concept served Olasky well from 1994, when he became the editor of World, until Nov. 1, when he submitted his resignation.

He had, he said, received an effective “vote of no confidence” from World’s board, which had recently started a section of the website, World Opinions, without fully consulting him.”

…” And its founder, Joel Belz, told me he believed Olasky’s departure was simply an episode of “painful growing pains.”

SUPPOSEDLY MARVIN OLASKY IS OUT BECAUSE OF SOUTHERN BAPTIST ALBERT MOHLER. REALLY?

Note the NY Times eludes to the establishment of the World Opinions section which World just established and which Albert Mohler has been invited to help lead. This move was done, according to NY Times , “without consulting Olasky”. YET Olasky and Mohler both share in the spread of the social justice diseased false gospel work of Tim Keller’s “The Gospel Coalition”. Again Marvin Olasky works for /with the Action Institute which has brought the socialist economics based Social Justice curriculum to once conservative seminaries including Albert Mohler’s SBTS in the “Commonweal Project”. Olasky and Mohler still remain joined at the hip in the neo-Calvinist movement which birthed TGC and other progressive false gospel movements impacting conservative denominations like the SBC and the PCA. This would not have been possible without the presence of and expertise in doublespeak by editors like Olasky and TGC Joe Carter who also works with Olasky over at Patrick Henry College. The evangelical room has been filled with such activist agents of change for decades now.

FAKE NEWS OUTRAGE OVER OLASKY TERMINATION

A quick look at who is supporting Olasky after his ousting at World is helpful. New York Times is calling his opposition to Christian’s voting for Trump “Biblical”. Does anyone think NY Times cares about or is a good judge of what is “Biblical”? NYT is virtually passing out tissues for those still clueless enough to morn Olasky’s departure. Also there is a bit of fake Twitter outrage by a long time Acton Institute employee and semi closeted leftward activist Anthony Bradley . Bradley gives the Olasky departure press an even more glaring feel of political theater attempting to rescue Olasky’s image and failed conservative credibility.

Anthony B. Bradley, PhD@drantbradley “Marvin Olasky is pushed out of WORLD magazine by Mohlerish SBCers. The PCA partnering with SBC leaders has done nothing but made PCA platforms & conversations worse. Again, fundamentalism is toxic. This so sad & I’m overwhelmingly angry.”

THIS AUTHORS RESPONSE SHOULD PROVE HELPFUL IN SEEING BRADLEY’S ERROR IN JUDGEMENT EVEN IF HE IS TRULY OUTRAGED FOR HIS ACTON COHORT.

Thomas Littleton@revcoltom· Replying to dr ant bradley Anthony The PCA “partnering ” with the SBC is because of Tim Keller’s progressive @TGC of which Mohler is a part. Marvin’s troubles go much deeper than a supposed “toxic SBC fundamentalism” or “opposition to Trump”. Olasky’s credibility wounds are self inflicted. A former Marxist -should have known better.

To blame Olasky’s problems on his friend and fellow mushy middle conservative talking head Albert Mohler is as absurd as it can get. To blame the PCA denominations terminal problems on the co-mingling of these two movements under the influence of “toxic fundamentalism” (supposedly controlled by Olasky TGC pal Mohlers “Mohlerish SBC’s) is so stupid we can only hope Acton’s Bradley is faking his views as well as his outrage. It is painful and intellectually insulting for anyone to have to read his assertions.

Olasky has problems because he has caused problems for World Magazine … which is likely having problems with its readership after years of Olasky’s flirtations with the left and its evangelical operatives.

NNDB FULL OLASKY BIOGRAPHY. HIS TESTIMONY OF CONVERSION FROM COMMUNISM GAVE HIM A LONG TIME VOICE AMONG CONSERVATIVE CHRISTIANS

AKA Marvin N. Olasky

Born: 12-Jun–1950
Birthplace: Boston, MA

Gender: Male
Religion: Presbyterian
Race or Ethnicity: White
Sexual orientation: Straight
Occupation: Pundit, Historian, Journalist

Nationality: United States
Executive summary: The Tragedy of American Compassion

“Marvin Olasky stands as one of the first major intellectual successes in the American conservative movement, a man whose views on welfare were codified into law in the late 20th century. Born into a Jewish family in Boston, Marvin Olasky became an avowed Atheist and Marxist in high school and a member of the Communist party in 1972. While attending the University of Michigan, Olasky’s beliefs made a complete reversal after a spiritual awakening: either due to a decision to read the New Testament in Russian or a sudden existential crisis while reading Lenin, Olasky found himself a fervent supporter of the Christian conservative movement. He was baptized into the Presbyterian church in 1976; in 1992 he helped found the Redeemer Presbyterian Church in Austin, TX.

Olasky has taught in the journalism department at the University of Texas at Austin since 1983, becoming a full professor in 1993. Midway through his term as associate professor, he came to the attention of Reconstructionist philanthropist Howard Ahmanson, Jr., who gave him the editorship of the Turning Point series of books via his charitable arm, the Fieldstead Institute. Olasky wrote its first installment, A Christian Worldview Declaration (1987), as well as the Capital Research Center series Patterns of Corporate Philanthropy.

This initial work brought him to the attention of the Lynde and Harry Bradley Foundation, which funded him as a two-year Bradley scholar at the The Heritage Foundation. His two 1988 books on the mass media, Prodigal Press: The Anti-Christian Bias of American News Media and The Press and Abortion, 1838-1988 outlined philosophies that harmonized with the Christian agenda of World magazine, of which he became editor in 1992. He was instrumental in that periodical’s 1998 spawning of the World Journalism Institute, which seeks to recruit and train Christian journalists and inject them into the mainstream media.

He has since written over 16 books, most notably The Tragedy of American Compassion (1992), which blamed the countercultural revolution of the 1960s for society’s ills thirty years later and claimed that welfare needed a basis in Christianity if it was to have any lasting effect. The book gained the endorsement of William Bennett, who passed it on to Newt Gingrich, who in turn shilled it to every Republican in the House of Representatives. In January 2001, he saw the policies outlined in this book put into law with the creation of the White House Office of Faith-Based and Community Initiatives. George W. Bush has called him “compassoniate conservatism’s leading thinker”; in 1999, he chaired an advisory subcommittee on religion and public policy for the then-governor.”

CONCLUSION

Russell Moore is out of the SBC and it’s Ethics arm the ERLC. The World Magazine board has purged itself of Marvin Olasky. We can only hope and pray it is a trend which is just getting started. Even if World and SBC leaders are attempting to save face and or retain their audiences -their motives are not quiet as important as the fact that both of the compromised voices are gone except for their sour grapes commentaries from far more progressive publications like Christianity Today.

We must pray it is the start of a trend and more of the well placed compromisers aiding in the deconstruction of conservative evangelicalism and who are being exposed will be sharpening up their resumes. Keep Praying.
