IF REFORMED MOVEMENTS CANNOT STOP PROMOTING TGC AND POPULAR MEMBERS OF ITS BRAINTRUST / MEDIA/CURRICULUM /CONFERENCES- THEN RELYING UPON CONFESSIONS AND CREEDS CANNOT SAVE THEM FROM THE RUINOUS LEAVEN OF THE SOCIAL GOSPEL. TGC HAS OFFERED A CONSTANT CASCADE OF CRITICAL THEORIES, FAKE SCIENCE, UNIVERSALIST AND GLOBALIST GOALS “CHRISTIANITY”. IT HAS INVADED REFORMED SEMINARIES AND PULPITS. TIME IS SHORT IF THESE MOVEMENTS ARE TO SURVIVE.

Rev Thomas Littleton

3/27/2023

There are a multitude of popular speakers in the Neo-Calvinist movement who continue aligning with … and making no effort to disassociate themselves from the undeniable corruption of The Gospel Coalition movement. With co-founder Tim Keller in very poor health and D.A. Carson aging beyond the ability to remain in leadership -many younger faces have been promoted to pick up the TGC mantle.

II PETER 2″

Destructive Doctrines

2 “But there were also false prophets among the people, even as there will be false teachers among you, who will secretly bring in destructive heresies, even denying the Lord who bought them, and bring on themselves swift destruction. ² And many will follow their destructive ways, because of whom the way of truth will be blasphemed. ³ By covetousness they will exploit you with deceptive words; for a long time their judgment has not been idle, and their destruction does not slumber.”

CONSIDER THE CONFUSED POSITIONS OF TGCs KEVIN DEYOUNG

Kevin DeYoung has risen to the forefront as one of the thought leaders carrying the progressive TGC movement forward while it remains cloaked in theological drag. DeYoung is part of the TGC Leadership Council and is just one example BUT one worth considering in order to understand the seriousness of the compromised influence of TGC and the double mindedness of those who continue to follow its “destructive ways”. In fact DeYoung is considered by many to be a central second generation figure in TGC circles and was rumored to be first pick to take over as head of the organizations.He remains one of its most popular figures and speakers and is held in high esteem for his ability to articulate reformed theology. Like many in TGC DeYoung remains an enigma as he escapes scrutiny and criticism over his conservative reputation and continued TGC affiliation and distorted views on concerns like the false social justice gospel and LGBTQ Inclusion in the church and SSA/ SOGI doctrine . Below is a hard look at DeYoung mingled stances and affiliations on these two key issues.

DEYOUNG AND THE FALSE SOCIAL JUSTICE GOSPEL

DeYoung on Social Justice – 

Kevin DeYoung  in 2013 was “Thrilled to commend ” the website The Front Porch”led by TGC resident CRT/Racial activist Thabiti Anyabwile who openly endorses racially based wealth redistribution and reparations .

DeYoung in TGC article 2013 

DEYOUNG COMMENDS THE FRONT PORCH WHICH HAS HOSTED THE ANNUAL “JUST GOSPEL CONFERENCES” .

“I am thrilled to commend this new website and this new initiative. No one asked me say anything about it. No one needs my commendation. But I can’t help but think The Front Porch represents something unique and precious in the church in our day. Of all the things happening in the evangelical church, I believe that looking back, generations from now, the most significant may prove to be the resurgence and redevelopment of strong, biblical theology in the African American church. .. You’ll get a better idea for The Front Porch from the video below, featuring Louis Love, Thabiti Anyabwile, and Tony Carter…on the front porch.”

HERE ARE SOME OF “JUST (SOCIAL JUSTICE ) GOSPEL SPEAKERS FROM 2017

Michelle Higgins – a Revoice LGBTQ Thriving movement supporter who hosted radical activist LGBTQ in her fathers PCA church while she was “worship leader and a student at Covenant Theological Seminary Her father was also a professor and Dean at Covenant Theological Seminary in St Louis at the time. More on Revoice in a moment .

Amisho Lewis- is a co-founder of the radical & Campaign political group pushing “Biblical Values & Social Justice” with leadership from the Obama Foundation and the Democratic Party. & Campaign promotes third way compromise by Christians on a key social and moral issues and spent the lead up to the 2020 election promoting an anti-Trump voter campaign .

Leonce Crump-also from & Campaign spoke in “The Front Porch Just Gospel conf 2017”

Jarvis Williams- SBTS professor and racial activist who promoted CRT in the Southern Baptist and was part of the “Resolutions Committee ” in 2019 which altered “Resolution 9” condemning Critical race Theory and Intersectionality into affirmations of them.This controversial activist move has deeply divided Southern Baptist to this day. Williams remains a central figure in the invasion of CRT into SBC seminaries and life.

DeYoung has spoken in Desiring God and other conferences and panels with Jarvis Williams.

( From The Front Porch “Just Gospel” Conference 2019)

ERIC MASON- is author if the 2018 book “Woke Church: An Urgent Call for Christians in America to Confront Racism and Injustice .” and a TGC regular. Promotion of the WOKE Church ideology saturated the TGC arena until the Summer of 2020 when BLM riots tainted the pro WOKE narratives.

Jemar Tisby – is the long time assistant to TGC leader Ligon Duncan and now a racial activist in the church with “The Witness: A Black Christian Collective”, which operates as “a multimedia platform about race, religion, politics, and culture”.

JACKIE HILL PERRY – her husband in part of the & Campaign and she remains one of the more popular LGBTQ inclusion speakers in TGC ,the Southern Baptist ERLC and many other outlets.

WHY IS DEYOUNG “THRILLED TO COMMEND” THE FRONT PORCH TO BIBLICAL & THEOLOGICAL CONSERVATIVES?

WHY?

Doom of False Teachers

II PETER 2 ⁴ “For if God did not spare the angels who sinned, but cast them down to ^[hell and delivered them into chains of darkness, to be reserved for judgment; ⁵ and did not spare the ancient world, but saved Noah, one of eight people, a preacher of righteousness, bringing in the flood on the world of the ungodly; ⁶ and turning the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah into ashes, condemned them to destruction, making them an example to those who afterward would live ungodly; ⁷ and delivered righteous Lot, who was oppressed by the filthy conduct of the wicked ⁸ (for that righteous man, dwelling among them, tormented his righteous soul from day to day by seeing and hearing their lawless deeds)— ⁹ then the Lord knows how to deliver the godly out of temptations and to reserve the unjust under punishment for the day of judgment, ¹⁰ and especially those who walk according to the flesh in the lust of uncleanness and despise authority. They are presumptuous, self-willed. They are not afraid to speak evil of dignitaries, ¹¹ whereas angels, who are greater in power and might, do not bring a reviling accusation against them before the Lord.”

DEYOUNG AND THE LGBTQ MOVEMENT IN THE CHURCH.

Kevin De Young , as a leader in The Gospel Coalition, is a close co-laborer with Tim Keller TGCs co-founder. Both promote a variety of “LGBTQ inclusion and welcome ” messengers / activist like gay identified priest Sam Allberry of “Living Out”.Allberry is a priest from the Church of England and his Living Out ministry has been exposed repeatedly for massive errors including the 2018 “Church Inclusion Audit “. TGC and Keller are at the root of the problematic Revoice LGBTQ Thriving movement in the PCA and SBC.

Yet ironically – Keller and De Young were both selected to be part of the PCA “theological team” to respond to Revoice and the ongoing divisive and deadly fruit of Revoice in the PCA. In addition -focus has yet to be brought to bear on the root of the Revoice movement inside the PCAs Covenant Theological Seminary.

THE AMERICAN PSYCHOLOGICAL ASSOCIATION HAS A MAJOR PLAYER IN THE EVANGELICAL SHIFT TOWARD HOMOSEXAULITY.

DeYoung gives nod to the false APA position of “Sexial Orientation ” and will not  call it “sinful” though he says homosexual acts ARE. DeYoung says SSA desire is “disordered” . This position is the entire basis of the error of Mark Yarhouse APA thought leader of Revoice/ Living Out  and the ongoing controversy in the PCA and SBC over homosexuality .

It is a totally unbiblical and false position based on SOGI “Sexual Orientation Gender Identity. Of course TGC subscribed to Mark Yarhouse interfaith /APA position  and White Paper in 2010 and the entire false “Same Sex Attracted but Celibate” narrative of the 2010 Lausanne Movement.

SSA but Celibate position “affirms” the APA false views on ” fixed ” or unchanging -in born sexual orientation while affirming gender identity as “gender fluidity and non binary ” or not determined by biological or birth gender. The end result is the denial of the power of the Gospel and the Cross of Jesus to change homosexuals into heterosexuals and allows for the validation of transgender identity including transgender “Christian” identity.

APA ACTIVIST HISTORY ON HOMOSEXUALITY

The American Psychological Association removed homosexuality in 1973 from the classification of a mental illness after gay activist gained a stronghold in the APA Board. Mark Yarhouse is an “evangelical” who works for the godless APA and has done research and thought development for interfaith communities on LGBTQ/SOGI. NONE of these concepts or the interfaith efforts of Yarhouse OR the APA are biblical or Gospel driven . NONE whatsoever.They are 100% antithetical to the Gospel- yet TGC and those in leadership of it like Carson/ Keller and younger leaders like DeYoung appear to fail to see this reality.

YARHOUSE OF THE APA -WHEATON BIOGRAPHY

Yarhouse Wheaton bio reads -” he was part of a consensus panel from the American Psychological Association on sexual orientation and gender identity change efforts that convened to provide input to the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) in Washington, DC.  He is currently the Chair of the task force on LGBT issues for Division 36 (Psychology of Religion and Spirituality) of the American Psychological Association. He was also invited to write the featured white paper on sexual identity for the Christ on Campus Initiative edited by Don A. Carson for The Gospel Coalition”

TGC ENDORSEMENT IN 2015 OF YARHOUSE BOOK

“This is why Mark Yarhouse’s new book, Understanding Gender Dysphoria: Navigating Transgender Issues in a Changing Culture, is not only timely but also necessary. It marks a step forward in Christian engagement with gender issue…”

YARHOUSE IS THE KEY THOUGHT LEADER BEHIND REVOICE “LGBTQ THRIVING” AND SPOKE AT THE 2019 REVOICE EVENT. REVOICE REMAINS THE CENTRAL CONTRO

De Young was of one of  first in PCA to comment on the Revoice controversy when THE EXPOSURE of it broke by this writer in April 2018 but he comments only on the “terms” used and on Greg Johnson the PCA host pastor. DeYoung must know the Revoice movement is coming out of Covenant Theological Seminary and that the Revoice leaders have long worked with TGC but takes a “wait and see” critique which is false given the TGC ties to Revoice leaders .How is it possible that he does not know the sources and the outcomes the movement seeks? Revoice founder Nate Collins has worked openly with TGC since at least 2013 and spoken at ETS with other TGC thought leaders annually.

De Young is in the mushy middle with SOGI which is set to collapse into LGBTQ and transgenderism affirming over time .

DeYoung video on SSA

DEYOUNG’S BOOK ON HOMOSEXUALITY.

DeYoungs book on homosexuality relies on the SAME thought leaders and their endorsements.

“Pastor and author Kevin DeYoung answers a common question: Is Homosexual Orientation Sinful? DeYoung newest book, “What Does the Bible Really Teach about Homosexuality?”, examines key biblical passages in both the Old and New Testaments and then responds to popular objections raised by Christians and non-Christians alike”

As mentioned DeYoung and TGC subscribe to APA Interfaith  psychologist Mark Yarhouse and his very limited research  supporting Sexual Orientation as fixed and unchanging . In other words – people are born gay – stay gay – and can be “gay identified  Christians “

DeYoung’s book on homosexuality is endorsed by those who agree with the false  teaching of the APA which is fully gay affirming and has sought (since 1973) to normalize and promote homosexuality.Working with TGC and Keller, DeYoung is a key voice on this topic for TGC.

DEYOUNG’S BOOK ENDORSEMENTS

“What Does the Bible Teach About Homosexuality”

Published 2015 

Rosaria Butterfield- .She is a popular speaker but one who holds to the TGC/SOGI message and long condemned any and all ex gay ministry and counseling. Her recent shift to allow for “ex gay counseling” she has now affirmed to be “more helpful  for people detransitioning from gender identity transition. Her academic speciality is “Feminine/ Gender/Queer Theories as informed by Marx/ Freud / Darwin. She is a critical theory expert and “welcome & Inclusion advocate.

Russell Moore- Controversial activist for “stopping culture wars which we lost and just loving our gay and lesbian neighbors” Now out at Southern Baptist after 8 years of pro inclusion conferences and pushing many SOGI based speakers into ERLC/SBC/TGC. ERLC Fellows under Moore endorsed Revoice.

J. D. Greear -Three time SBC President infamous for saying “God whispers about homosexuality in the scripture”. Greear’s Summit Church is fully Yarhouse driven. Brad Hambrick who heads the Counseling ministry at Greear’s Summit church is Yarhouse /SOGI /APA based 

Wesley Hill- Author of “Washed and Waiting” promotes his homosexual orientation in his Christian faith and has been a part of Revoice from 2018 through today. 

D. A. Carson- According to Yarhouse own biography it was TGC co-founder with Tim Keller who commissioned Mark Yarhouse to do the 2010 Whitepaper for TGC’s Christ on Campus ministry. All of TGC looked to this Whitepaper as the gold standard on human sexuality and gender since 2010. 

Christopher Yuan- speaks from a gay identity and contracted AIDS during his active homosexual years. He was introduced to most churches in Russell Moore’s ERLC 2014 conference on homosexuality where fellow TGC leader Albert Mohler apologized for being wrong about (denying ) sexual orientation. Yuan is also a popular voice in TGC circles on the topic. 

Gregory Koukl- is part of the Biola campus Apologetics Department Speakers and heads “Stand To Reason ” apologetics. In 2018 it launched “Rethink Apologetics” which based its youth targeted messaging concerning homosexuality on SOGI and Yarhouse. Other topics were included in Rethink and tended toward more progressive worldview “apologetics” responses. In 2015 Biola made a shift toward welcome and inclusion of LGBTQ after an on campus group began filing complaints in 2012. 

The people endorsing De Young’s book on the topic all hold to the “Welcome and  Inclusion” messaging and SOGI ideology.

NOTE – None of this circle of people will present a fully converted  ” former homosexual” testimony though many- many such believers exist and are vocal witnesses to the power of God to fully change homosexual desire and lead normal lives with families. 

DeYoung is following the serious errors of SOGI which are breaking down the orthodox biblical stance on total transformation by the power of the Gospel.

MARK YARHOUSE- THE APA/INTERFAITH DECEPTION AND REVOICE-DE YOUNG IS PREACHING THE SAME MESSAGE.

Depravity of False Teachers

MORE II PETER 2 :¹² But these, like natural brute beasts made to be caught and destroyed, speak evil of the things they do not understand, and will utterly perish in their own corruption, ¹³ and will receive the wages of unrighteousness, as those who count it pleasure to carouse in the daytime. They are spots and blemishes, carousing in their own deceptions while they feast with you, ¹⁴ having eyes full of adultery and that cannot cease from sin, enticing unstable souls. They have a heart trained in covetous practices, and are accursed children. ¹⁵ They have forsaken the right way and gone astray, following the way of Balaam the son of Beor, who loved the wages of unrighteousness; ¹⁶ but he was rebuked for his iniquity: a dumb donkey speaking with a man’s voice restrained the madness of the prophet.

¹⁷ These are wells without water, clouds carried by a tempest, for whom is reserved the blackness of darkness forever.”

AGAIN – DE YOUNG REMAINS CLOSELY ASSOCIATED WITH THE HEART OF TGC AND PROBLEMATIC LEADERS INCLUDING THE PLANNED 2024 YOUTH (18-25) FOCUSED “CROSSCON 2024.

Kevin De Young is to speak at CrossCon 24 with social justice warrior David Platt- highly exposed TGC leader John Piper -pro CRT/ BLM  activist rapper Trip Lee. Also Pro LGBTQ Living Out inclusion “church audit” advocate/ 9MARKS leader  Mark Dever  and others in the progressive collapse among the Reformed movement.

Deceptions of False Teachers

MORE II PETER 2

¹⁸ “For when they speak great swelling words of emptiness, they allure through the lusts of the flesh, through lewdness, the ones who have actually escaped from those who live in error. ¹⁹ While they promise them liberty, they themselves are slaves of ^[j]corruption; for by whom a person is overcome, by him also he is brought into ^[k]bondage. ²⁰ For if, after they have escaped the pollutions of the world through the knowledge of the Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, they are again entangled in them and overcome, the latter end is worse for them than the beginning. ²¹ For it would have been better for them not to have known the way of righteousness, than having known it, to turn from the holy commandment delivered to them. ²² But it has happened to them according to the true proverb: “A dog returns to his own vomit,” and, “a sow, having washed, to her wallowing in the mire.”

CONCLUSION

The Gospel Coalition is a progressive and largely politically motivated movement masked as a classic Reformed Theological movement. Herein lies its greatest acceptance and its greatest danger and power to deceive.

Whether it is the long or short version of the Westminster Confession or line by line of Calvin’s Institutes – nothing within the Reformed polity or approach to biblical fidelity has worked to prevent MUCH of the Reformed movement in America from falling prey to The Gospel Coalition -its critical theories, socialist economics, third way politics and the general star power of preacher and pulpit worship have drive TGCs popularity.

Nothing but a full BREAK with TGC and all its thought leaders and media machine and a deep heaven sent searching and repentance movement can spare the Reformed Movement of this generation from collapsing under the weight of THIS corruption. Revival is the only hope..even if many reformed pastors and leaders despise and lampoon it.

AS THE UNITED NATIONS SEEKS TO CONTROL THE WORLD’S OCEANS AND WATER TO ATTAIN #6 AND #14 OF ITS SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT GOALS -BIOLOGOS IS SCALING UP ITS DECEPTIVE FOCUS -PUSHING THE CHURCH TOWARD FAKE SCIENCE OF GLOBAL WARMING AND A GLOBAL POWER GRAB OF WATER.

BIOLOGOS SEEKS TO ASK AND ANSWER TWO “COMPELLING QUESTIONS”.

“Is God a delusion? Is science the enemy of faith?”

These are the opening questions of an upcoming BioLogos event announcement in San Francisco as the organization founded by Covid collaborator and embattled former NIH Director Francis Collins pushes his efforts to move Christians “Beyond the Impasse” and into embracing fake Science ,including UN Climate and Sustainable Development Goals.

( As you read this -keep in mind that one of the most significant members of the BioLogos braintrust is progressive preacher Tim Keller co-founded the horrific organization called The Gospel Coalition.Keller has used his conservative credentials in the PCA to influence American seminaries ,pastors and churches toward progressive stance on all social and moral issues and to embrace a warped vision of “Global Goals” Christianity. He and Collins and great friends and collaborated on the increasingly exposed deceptions of the Pandemic Industrial Complex. )

“Beyond the Impasse: Seeking Truth in Faith & Science“

“Is God a delusion? Is science the enemy of faith?”

“The breakdown of trust in our society has led to a crisis of truth. But when faith and contemporary science are pitted against each other, there are no winners. Conspiracies outpace facts, tribalism overshadows genuine Christ-centered faith, and lives and communities are broken.”

“Join us for an empowering exploration of a new way forward. Featuring Francis Collins, one of the world’s leading biomedical researchers, and Deb Haarsma, an astronomer and President of BioLogos, this event will chart a path beyond our current impasse—and cast an inspiring vision of what it can look like for science and faith to truly work hand-in-hand for the good of our world.”

THE GLOBALIST AND UNITED NATIONS MOVE ON WATER

UN 2023 Water Conference 22 — 24 Mar 2023, New York

WORLD ECONOMIC FORUM ANNOUNCES UN WATER CONFERENCE

• “The first UN Water Conference in almost five decades is taking place in New York on 22-24 March, co-hosted by the Netherlands and Tajikistan.
• It could be a ‘Paris moment’ for water, writes the countries’ Special Envoys for Water.
• Around 3.6 billion people struggle to get enough water to meet their needs for at least one month every year, according to the World Meteorological Organization.
• The Global Commission on the Economics of Water, launched at the World Economic Forum Annual Meeting in 2022, will report on game-changing ways to value and manage water as a common good.”

“Our global water system is in crisis. Despite safe water and sanitation being a human right, billions of people lack access to these essentials for life, according to the United Nations.”

“This month’s UN 2023 Water Conference – the first in almost 50 years – could be a watershed moment for UN Sustainable Development Goal 6: ensuring the sustainable management of water and sanitation for all.”

“These are the critical foundations on which many of the 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) depend, especially health, food, gender equity, education, livelihoods, industry, climate and the environment.”

“We hope it could result in a “Paris moment” for water – with outcomes as critical for water as the Paris Agreement has been for climate action.”

UNITED NATIONS SITE

“The UN 2023 Water Conference in March must result in a bold Water Action Agenda that gives our world’s lifeblood the commitment it deserves.ANTÓNIO GUTERRES, SECRETARY-GENERAL OF THE UNITED NATIONS”

HIGH SEAS TREATY AND WATER CONFERENCE ARE NUMBERS 14 AND 6 ON UNITED NATIONS GLOBAL SUSTAINABILIYY GOALS AND MAJOR KEY TO AGENDA 2030 .

(NOTE- IN THEIR OWN WORDS )-

“Water is a dealmaker for the Sustainable Development Goals, and for the health and prosperity of people and planet. But our progress on water related goals and targets remains alarmingly off track, jeopardizing the entire sustainable development agenda.”

(OF THE HIGH SEAS TREATY UN OFFICIAL )

“Through his Spokesperson, Mr. Guterres said the treaty is crucial for addressing the triple planetary crisis of climate change, biodiversity loss and pollution. “

“It is also vital for achieving ocean-related goals and targets of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, and the Kunming-Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework,” said the statement, referring to the so-called ‘30 by 30’ pledge to protect 30 per cent of the planet’s lands and inland waters, as well as of marine and coastal areas, by 2030 made by a historic UN conference in Montreal this past December. “

(FROM BIO LOGOS DIRECTOR OF MARINE CONSERVATION PROGRAM )

“Hence the significance of the announcement that a High Seas Treaty had been agreed.”

“But will it matter? The United Nations Sustainable Development Goals include specific reference to the ocean in Goal 14. A plastic treaty is in the works to try and combat international plastic pollution. “

BIOLOGOS INSPIRATION COMES FROM THE CORRUPT LAUSANNE MOVEMENT/JOHN STOTT -FRONTED BY BRAINTRUST MEMBERS LIKE “THE NEW JOHN STOTT “- TIM KELLER

“The Third Lausanne Congress of Christian leaders in Capetown finally recognized creation care as an important Christian issue alongside evangelism, social justice, and other traditional concerns. A subsequent meeting was convened in Jamaica to determine how to move ahead with creation care within the Lausanne Movement. It would be codified in the book “Creation Care and the Gospel” with no intentions of including anything on the ocean, despite the ocean occupying 71% of the surface and 99% of the habitable space of the planet.”

CONCLUSION

As BioLogos /Collins and their thought leaders continue to promote the merger of Faith and Science and move the church “Beyond the Impasse” they are working on the other side of the conversation to move the church and believers into embracing Globalism/Global Sustainability Goals / agenda 2030.

The question becomes unavoidable – How can any redeemed person become this deceived -to believe that building the kingdom of globalism and its prophetic fulfillments can be twisted to and presented as the Gospel call/part of the Great Commission/ a move toward establishing the Kingdom of God?

BIO-LOGOS -ENDORSED BY TIM KELLER AND FOUNDED FRANCIS COLLINS CONTINUES THE GRAND DECEPTION OF CHRISTIANS AND THE CHURCH INTO GLOBAL GOALS AGENDA 2030 AND FALSE SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT GOALS.

“NIH Director Francis Collins Wins $1.3M Templeton Prize in 2020”

Rev Thomas Littleton

3/13/2023

As if the damage that Francis Collins and Tim Keller have done to Christian faith through Bio-Logos push for theistic evolution /merging science and faith/ assault on Genesis 1-11 were not enough-the influential pair have promoted the 2020 pandemic narrative and the organization Collins founder is promoting interfaith dialog and now the new UN High Seas Treaty.

BIO-LOGOS /KELLER/COLLINS -PART OF THE PANDEMIC INDUSTRIAL COMPLEX

Collins was not only the long time head of NIH ,appointed by Obama administration and overseeing the launch of the Covid Pandemic response and Vaccine roll out -he was also discovered to have colluded with Anthony Fauci to fund the Chinese lab “Gain of Function” research from which Covid has now been confirmed to have leaked. Even Federal agencies are admitting this once denied reality. Collins and Fauci were grilled by Congressmen about the content of their emails and use of “burner phones to communicate on questionable activities of their organizations leading up to and during the Pandemic. Collins NIH budget exceeded $40 billion annually during the Pandemic.He has since been forced to resign and works as a senior Healthcare advisor on the Biden Cabinet so he has not left Washington or the federal payroll.

UN HIGH SEAS TREATY AND CHRISTIAN MISSION-A NO BRAINER SAYS BIO-LOGOS

BIO-LOGOS STORY “High Seas Treaty Opportunity for the Church to Lead”

By 

Robert D Sluka on March 14, 2023

High Seas Treaty Opportunity for the Church to Lead

“We are called to protect 100% of God’s planet, but often the oceans have been overlooked. The recent High Seas Treaty is an opportunity for us to do our part.”

WHAT DOES THE UNITED NATIONS SAY ABOUT ITS HIGH SEAS TREATY AND UN AGENDA 2030?

“Through his Spokesperson, Mr. Guterres said the treaty is crucial for addressing the triple planetary crisis of climate change, biodiversity loss and pollution. “

“It is also vital for achieving ocean-related goals and targets of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, and the Kunming-Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework,” said the statement, referring to the so-called ‘30 by 30’ pledge to protect 30 per cent of the planet’s lands and inland waters, as well as of marine and coastal areas, by 2030 made by a historic UN conference in Montreal this past December. “

BIO-LOGOS ATTRIBUTES ITS VISION FOR UN HIGH SEAS TREATY TO LAUSANNE MOVEMENT WHICH ALREADY ENDORSES UN GLOBAL GOALS AGENDA 2030 ON MANY FRONTS

“The Third Lausanne Congress of Christian leaders in Capetown finally recognized creation care as an important Christian issue alongside evangelism, social justice, and other traditional concerns. A subsequent meeting was convened in Jamaica to determine how to move ahead with creation care within the Lausanne Movement. It would be codified in the book Creation Care and the Gospel with no intentions of including anything on the ocean, despite the ocean occupying 71% of the surface and 99% of the habitable space of the planet. Thankfully, I was able to co-write a chapter with oceanographer Meric Srokosz; we knew the editors and convinced them of the shortcoming, and we were able to get our article included in the book.”

BIO-LOGOS PITCH TO CHRISTIANS VIA “CREATION CARE”

“Followers of Christ are called to protect 100% of God’s planet, but too often in conservation and creation care work, the oceans have been neglected. An important new treaty that protects biodiversity in international waters has just been signed by delegates to the UN. This is an important step in recognizing the value of marine life. But it is not enough on its own to protect these creatures and the well-being of the planet. Will the church lead the way and model as God’s image bearers how we ought to care for corals, clams, crabs, and the rest of God’s creatures in the sea? Our history has not been great in this respect.”

https://biologos.org/post/high-seas-treaty-opportunity-for-the-church-to-lead

“Overlooking the ocean is not only found among creation care practitioners. It may seem ludicrous, but the majority of the ocean has little to no protection from human impacts until this new UN Treaty on the High Seas, passed on the 4th of March 2023. Why this neglect of the ocean?”

“The treaty does not do the actual conservation itself. The sea is just as imperiled today as it was yesterday. But there is a glimmer of hope.”

BIO-LOGOS ASK WILL IT REALLY MATTER ?

“But will it matter? The United Nations Sustainable Development Goals include specific reference to the ocean in Goal 14. A plastic treaty is in the works to try and combat international plastic pollution. The Biodiversity Conference of Parties meets regularly to negotiate issues related to biodiversity conservation, including the ocean. Many are cautiously hopeful. The High Seas Treaty could provide coverage and international agreement on a large portion of the ocean that isn’t effectively governed. It sets the stage for working together to protect areas that are common to all and owned by all or none, depending on your point of view”

THE OCEANS OF THE WORLD FEED AND PROVIDE JOBS FOR BILLIONS OF PEOPLE THE UNITED NATIONS IS MAKING A POWER GRAB FOR ANOTHER MAJOR FOOD SOURCE AND ECONOMIC MACHINE FOR THE WORLD.

Click to access Ocean-fact-sheet-package.pdf

“More than 3.5 billion people depend on the ocean for their primary source of food.”

“Oceans, coastal and marine resources are very important for people living in coastal communities, who represent 37 per cent of the global population in 2017.”

“General
 The ocean is vast, covering 140 million square miles (363 million square km), equivalent to approximately 72 per cent of the earth’s surface.
 More than 600 million people (around 10 per cent of the world’s population) live in coastal areas that are less than 10 meters above sea level.
 Nearly 2.4 billion people (about 40 per cent of the world’s population) live within 100 km (60 miles) of the coast.
 Oceans, coastal and marine resources are very important for people living in coastal communities, who represent 37 per cent of the global population in 2017.
Health and nutrition
 Human health is being impacted by the enhanced survival and spread of tropical diseases due to increasing ocean temperatures.
 Fish is one of the most important sources of animal protein. It accounts for about 17 per cent of protein at the global level and exceeds 50 per cent in many least-developed countries.
 The nutrients found in fish are important for optimal neurodevelopment in children and for improving cardiovascular health.”

“Shipping is responsible for more than 90 per cent of the trade between countries. The global oceans based economy is estimated at $US3 trillion a year, which is around 5 per cent of global GDP.
 Approximately 50 per cent of all international tourists travel to coastal areas. In some developing countries, notably Small Island Development States, tourism accounts for over 25 per cent of GDP”

MORE IN THE UN GOALS FOR THE WORLDS OCEANS

“In its resolution 72/249 of 24 December 2017, the General Assembly decided to convene an Intergovernmental Conference, under the auspices of the United Nations, to consider the recommendations of the Preparatory Committee established by resolution 69/292 of 19 June 2015 on the elements and to elaborate the text of an international legally binding instrument under the United Nations Convention on the Law of Sea on the conservation and sustainable use of marine biological diversity of areas beyond national jurisdiction, with a view to developing the instrument as soon as possible.”

“The first session was convened from 4 to 17 September 2018, the second session from 25 March to 5 April 2019 and the third session from 19 to 30 August 2019. The fourth session, which was postponed by decisions 74/543 and 75/570 owing to the COVID-19 pandemic, was convened from 7 to 18 March 2022. A fifth session of the Conference was convened from 15 to 26 August 2022 pursuant to General Assembly decision 76/564 (available as A/76/L.46). On the last day of that session, the Conference, in considering the way forward, decided to suspend the fifth session and resume it at a later date to be determined. In this connection, in its resolution 77/248Opens a new window  on “Oceans and the law of the sea”, the General Assembly requested the Secretary-General to convene the resumed fifth session of the Conference at United Nations Headquarters from 20 February to 3 March 2023.”

“In accordance with resolution 72/249, the Conference held a three-day organizational meeting in New York, from 16 to 18 April 2018, to discuss organizational matters, including the process for the preparation of the zero draft of the instrument.”

NEVER MIND THE GLOBALIST AGENDA-FULL SPEED AHEAD

Given the mantra of “protecting the high seas is one more rung in the United Nations climate change power grab- there is certainly more to the effort that meets the eye or appears in the current hype and celebrations- NEVERTHELESS Bio-Logos has fully embraced , celebrated and endorsed it .

More on the UN celebrations and forthcoming regulations:

“Noting that the BBNJ decision builds on the legacy of the UN Convention on the Law of the Sea (UNCLOS), the Secretary-General commended all parties for their ambition, flexibility and perseverance, and saluted Ambassador Rena Lee, of Singapore, for her leadership and dedication.  “

“Ladies and gentlemen, the ship has reached the shore,” Ms. Lee said last night, announcing the agreement to an extended standing ovation in the meeting room. Delegations will reconvene later to formally adopt the text. ”  

“The statement issued by the UN Spokesperson said the Secretary-General also recognized the critical support of non-governmental organizations, civil society, academic institutions and the scientific community. “

BIO-LOGOS THINKS YOU SHOULD RECRUIT YOUR CHURCH TO HELP

“International treaties are an important component that can be used to work with governments, local communities, businesses, and NGOs to determine how to move forward globally so major issues that impact large areas, such as the high seas, can be tackled. The High Seas Treaty is good news, but we need to see how we can implement it and also if anything has been left out. You or your church can join us at A Rocha by volunteering, becoming a research partner, visiting one of our global centers, following our media, or donating to our conservation projects. Followers of Christ are called to protect 100% of God’s planet—Let’s do our part”

CAN CHRISTIANS TRUST GOLBAL SUSTAINBLILITY NO MATTER HOW GOOD IT MAY SOUND?

According to Yale Forum on Religion and Ecology – Religious people should be fully on board with the Sustainability Goals

https://fore.yale.edu/FaithActionSDG

“In September 2020, UNEP’s Faith for Earth Initiative, the Parliament of the World’s Religions, United Religions Initiative, and Bhumi Global published a report to celebrate the five year anniversary of the UN Sustainable Development Goals. The report featured data they had collected on faith-based organizations around the world doing work that fell within the scope of the environmental SDGs”

“Only a fraction of the collected data was used in the written report, so these organizations partnered with the Yale Forum on Religion and Ecology to bring the complete information to the public here on this site as a living, evolving, searchable database.”

BUT THE UNITED NATIONS SUSTAINABILITY GOALS ARE DRIVEN BY THE DESIRE TO GLOBAL GOVERNANCE- MERGING RELIGIONS – EARTH / NATURE WORSHIP-AND THE ESTABLISHMENT OF A REDUCED “SUSTAINABLE HUMAN POPULATION.

THIS IS NOT A GOSPEL CAUSE !

CONCLUSION

Bio-Logos attributes its directives toward “Creation Care” and immediate commitment to the UN High Seas Treaty to its ties to the Lausanne Movement. Lausanne has long endorsed UN Sustainable Development Goals

HERE ARE A FEW EXAMPLES AND CLEAR PROOF OF LAUSANNE AND THEREBY BIO-LOGOS DECEPTION BY GLOBALIST. IGNORE THEM AND REJECT THE EFFORTS OF KELLER /COLLINS/ BIO-LOGOS TO RECRUIT YOU ADN YOUR CHURCH INTO ANY OF THIER IDEOLOGY AND PROGRAMS.

Operating by FUNDING partners like Democracy Fund , Templeton Foundation and Soros funded partners in Immigration politics -Trinity Forum is helping launch a new series called : “TOWARDS A BETTER CHRISTIAN POLITICS: AN EVENING CONVERSATION WITH CURTIS CHANG, DAVID FRENCH, AND RUSSELL MOORE” in order to further promote third way political compromise among American Christians. Complete with a former Rockefeller Fellow/ Bio Logos thought leader who promoted pandemic politics to the Church- this latest fools errand may be the “bridge too far” that will collapse a grand deception.

FROM THE TRINITY FORUM ANNOUNCEMENT

“The relentless pull and pressure of partisan antagonisms and tribalism have fractured friendships, families, communities — and churches. In a time of conflict over what is good and confusion over what is true, what can church leaders do to cultivate a more faithful form of civic engagement? How can we learn to discern the call to love and justice amidst the clamor of political wars?”

“In March, we’re inviting three incisive speakers to address this question. Curtis Chang, David French, and Russell Moore are each writers, scholars, and thinkers who have made courageous and insightful contributions towards a better Christian politics.”

“In partnership with Redeeming Babel, The Trinity Forum invites you to join us for an Evening Conversation at the National Press Club on Tuesday, March 21st from 6:30 – 8:30 pm with Curtis, David, and Russell to explore the challenges faced by church leaders and to discuss how communities of faith can cultivate, articulate, and embody a deeply faithful pursuit of justice for the common good. The conversation will also touch on their collaboration toward this end through a new Redeeming Babel project, The After Party: Towards Better Christian Politics.The evening will begin with drinks and appetizers, followed by remarks and discussion and a time for audience questions.”

HOW IS THE CHURCH -WHICH IS CALLED OUT -CALLED TO “REDEEM BABEL” ?

God called Abram OUT of the idolatrous Babylonian world around him and Israel OUT of Egypt to “serve Him ” apart from the corruption and idols around them. God used men like Joseph and Daniel to preserve His people in the midst of worldly systems BUT NOT to redeem those fallen systems. The Gospel call has not changed. Jesus called the disciples out -to FOLLOW HIM . As the judgements of the final day on the corrupt systems of Babel unfold in Revelation 18 -God again pauses and calls His people OUT.

Before reading further keep in mind that the very meaning of the word Ekklesia as the church is a calling OUT in order to be separated to God . God’s people are His peculiar possession loyal only to Him in a world that remains under the sway of the wicked one and in the ongoing rebellion of Genesis 11. The disunity the World experiences is in large part because of its rebellion against and defiance of God. The Church does not reconcile the world to God by joining in alliance with, adopting its values, seeking to appease its standards and norms and to “redeem” “it. The truly redeemed have been called OUT of this darkness and into the Kingdom of LIGHT- the kingdom of His dear SON. The Christians citizenship is in heaven and his/her place in this world is as salt and light and as a witness to the redemption of God for lost souls. God is not “Redeeming Babel ” nor is he calling His people to do so. Third Way political rhetoric and socialist ideologies, economics, and strategies would never be God’s way nor have they ever worked to preserve of redeem any culture of society. To think so is to be deceived. To teach Christians thus is a grand deception.

TONY BLAIRS THIRD WAY POLITICS PAMPLET FROM THE FABIAN SOCIETY IN 1998 ALLOWS HIM IN HIS OWN WORDS TO EXTOL THE GOALS AND ORIGINS OF THIRD WAY POLITICS LIKE TRINITY FORUM AND “REDEEMING BABEL PROMOTE:

“The Third Way was published as a pamphlet by the Fabian Society. Blair owed much of his approach to the writings of Anthony Giddens, the sociologist and director of the London School of Economics, who published Beyond Left and Right in 1994 and then his The Third Way: The Renewal of Social Democracy in 1998. Giddens is now a member of the House of Lords. For his thinking on the ‘Big Society’, Blair drew on the work of the Scottish philosopher John Macmurray, author of Persons in Relation. Blair was not the inventor of the ‘third way’ concept, a term also used by the Austrian Marxist, Otto Bauer, for whom the ‘third way’ was between Stalinist communism and traditional social democracy (and Chartist). Harold McMillan, Conservative prime minister between 1957 and 1963, in 1938 had published a book entitled The Middle Way, though this work in supporting a programme of nationalisation to support economic regeneration can be seen as to the left of Blair’s ‘third way’. The pamphlet does not reference any previous socialist writers, not even the early generation of revisionists such as Anthony Crosland. Blair does not refer to ‘socialism’ or ‘socialists’, preferring the term ‘progressive centre-left’ – a term which would incorporate most liberals.”

“The ‘Third Way’ is to my mind the best label for the new politics which the progressive centre-left is forging in Britain and beyond. The Third Way stands for a modernised social democracy, passionate in its commitment to social justice and the goals of the centre-left, but flexible, innovative and forward-looking in the means to achieve them. It is founded on the values which have guided progressive politics for more than a century – democracy, liberty, justice, mutual obligation and internationalism. But it is a third way because it moves decisively beyond an Old Left preoccupied by state control, high taxation and producer interests and a New Right treating public investment, and often the very notions of ‘society’ and collective endeavour, as evils to be undone.”

“My vision for the 21st century is of a popular politics reconciling themes which in the past have wrongly been regarded as antagonistic – patriotism and internationalism; rights and responsibilities; the promotion of enterprise and the attack on poverty and discrimination. The Left should be proud of its achievements in the 20th century not least universal suffrage, a fairer sharing of taxation and growth, and greater improvement in working conditions and in welfare, health and educational services. But we still have far to go to build the open, fair and prosperous society to which we aspire.”

“The Third Way is not an attempt to split the difference between Right and Left. It is about traditional values in a changed world. And it draws vitality from using the two great streams of left-of-centre thought – democratic socialism and liberals – whose divorce this century did so much to weaken progressive politics across the West. Liberals asserted the primacy of individual liberty in the market economy; social democrats promoted social justice with the state as its main agent. There is necessary conflict between the two, accepting as we now do that state power is one means to achieve our goals, but not the only one and emphatically not an end in itself.” https://www.chartist.org.uk/tony-blair-the-third-way-1998/

THE NARRATIVE OF THOSE WHO WANT TO “REDEEM BABEL”

Clarity in in a confusing World

“Christians are called to serve as signposts to the coming Kingdom of God, when Jesus will finally repair all brokenness. In a culture afflicted by division and confusion–a condition depicted by the story of Babel in Genesis 11:1-9–Redeeming Babel equips Christians to navigate the chaos with timeless Biblical truths.”

NOTE – Redeeming Babel has missed that the “division ” wrought at the Tower of Babel was God’s doing and that GOD scattered and confounded their false “unity” which sought to defy HIM. It is not “culture ” that has brought division of which they speak but God Himself and the very biblical conviction that they seek to undermine. Ancient Babel of Genesis 11 fell as the present and future Babel is Rev 18 is DOOMED . GOD HAS NOT CALLED OR COMMISSIONED ANYONE TO REDEEM IT-LEAST OF ALL WITH FABIAN SOCIALISM in the hands of Evangelical voices out of the far left who seek to destroy the Faith.

RETREADING LSE /FABIAN SOCIALIST THIRD WAY IS NOT PROVIDING CLARITY BUT MOCKING THE CLARITY OF THE BIBLICAL CALL TO BE SALT AND LIGHT.

THE BIBLICAL REMINDER TO BELEIVERS IS THAT WE CANNOT SERVE TWO MASTERS AND ARE EITHER FOR OUR MASTER THE LORD JESUS OR AGAINST HIM”.

“THE PROBLEM”-ACCORDING TO REDEEMING BABEL

“Evangelicals, which constitute 22.5% of the American population, comprise a key group in the political landscape. Unfortunately, for many evangelicals, the role of forming their political identity has been seized by partisan forces, not by true Biblical faith.”

As a result, their politics have become deformed into hatred of political opponents, susceptibility to lies, and other practices that threaten the common good.”

“Church leaders seeking to counter this dangerous trend need help. If pastors preach about politics from the pulpit, they risk blowback from the most vocal and extreme voices within their congregations. Many local leaders feel like they lack the resources to deal with the political complexities of the day. Political tensions have already fractured many churches. And 2024 is right around the corner with a new wave of pressure.”

NOTE : THEIR CONCERN IS THE 2024 ELECTION – AGAIN THIS IS A POLITICAL -PROGRESSIVE MOVEMENT DRAFTED AND DRAPED IN THEOLOGICAL JARGON.

“REDEEMING BABEL” MISSION

About Redeeming Babel. Curtis Chang founded Redeeming Babel in 2019 to address three underlying theological problems driving the chaos and confusion of our current world. These three problems damage Christians in their interior, institutional, and societal selves

: a mistaken spirituality of anxiety (interior)

CHANG AND FRENCH BEFORE A CCCU AUDIENCE IN FEBRUARY 2023

“You can go through negative characteristics: brainwashed, bigoted, racist, you name it.”

“And overwhelming majorities of American partisans are fully bought in on this. So there’s even something now called lethal mass partisanship, which is the belief that the world would be better off if a significant percentage of your political opponents just died. “

“And about 20% of American adults believe that, including many Christians.”

CHANG AND FRENCH HAVE HOSTED JUSTIN GIBONEY RADICAL & CAMPAIGN CO-FOUNDER AND DEMOCRATIC PARTY/OBAMA FOUNDATION INSPIRED ORGANIZATION

What Can the Black Church Teach All of Us? (with Justin Giboney)

February 25, 2023

“Rev. Justin Giboney and host Curtis Chang discuss how the Black church provides insight on the limitations of the progressive/conservative labels for all of us. Justin and Curtis also share candidly from their own experiences, giving everyone an intimate window into the complexities of racial identity and faith. “

ON “NEGATIVE PARTISANSHIP” CHANG AND FRENCH ASSERT:

( NOTE- THIS IS CLASSIC THIRD WAY APPROACH AND NARRATIVE )

“What is negative partisanship? Negative partisanship is an affiliation with your partisan political tribe, not because you necessarily love it or the ideas that it espouses, but because you hate or fear the other side.”

“So it’s rooted in a deeply negative emotion. And this is an extraordinarily powerful influence right now in the United States of America. How powerful is it? If you go and look at some of the research done by a group called More in Common, which has looked at what is called the hidden tribes of American life, it looks at the people who are most animated by the strongest partisan motivations. They have incredibly, profoundly negative views of the other side. Very negative views: 89%, for example, of devoted conservatives who are disproportionately Christian viewed every Democrat as brainwashed. That’s just one statistic of many.”

OUR HOPE

“We need to reform the political mindset of Christians with timeless Biblical truths, and not cede this task to today’s secular and partisan media. There’s hope. It’s not too late. We can transform our political imaginations. God has called us to point to the Kingdom of Jesus which transcends the divisions of our day. Indeed, the future Kingdom – which Scripture depicts as a grand “wedding feast of the Lamb” (Rev. 19:6-9) – is the true hope that should unite Christians of all political stripes.”

“It’s time for us to go beyond party politics, and – as Christians – believe in the true “party” yet to come.”

THE BACKGROUND ON REDEEMING BABEL VAX PUSH IN 2021

Christians & the Vaccine was the leading national effort to persuade this community to consider receiving he COVID vaccine. We partnered with the National Association of Evangelicals, COVID Collaborative, the Ad Council, Values Partnerships and Public Square Strategies.

We produced videos to provide Biblically based answers to questions such as:

• Is the COVID vaccine safe (and how can we know)?
• Is vaccination a form of government control?
• Should pro-lifers be pro-vaccine?
• Is the vaccine the “mark of the beast?”

THE CONCLUSION

Trinity Forum is widely respected but well infiltrated organization given its history with the “Evangelical Immigration Table”/ The Obama Foundation’s Ambassador the America’s Believers Michael Wear and the long time contributions of defrocked former SBC ethicist Russell Moore.

Redeeming Babel must have missed that Babel is clearly condemned to fall and NOT BE REDEEMED in the Scripture and the organization seems to have fallen in with the “Good Faith”/ Common Ground / Civil Society narratives that have been falling flat for years on both sides of the political divide which they seem to think THEY can BRIDGE with the same failed technologies and ideologies.

The Fall of Babylon the Great

18 “After these things I saw another angel coming down from heaven, having great authority, and the earth was illuminated with his glory. ² And he cried ^[a]mightily with a loud voice, saying, “Babylon the great is fallen, is fallen, and has become a dwelling place of demons, a prison for every foul spirit, and a cage for every unclean and hated bird! ³ For all the nations have drunk of the wine of the wrath of her fornication, the kings of the earth have committed fornication with her, and the merchants of the earth have become rich through the ^[b]abundance of her luxury.”

⁴ And I heard another voice from heaven saying, “Come out of her, my people, lest you share in her sins, and lest you receive of her plagues. ⁵ For her sins ^[c]have reached to heaven, and God has remembered her iniquities. ⁶ Render to her just as she rendered ^[d]to you, and repay her double according to her works; in the cup which she has mixed, mix double for her. ⁷ In the measure that she glorified herself and lived ^[e]luxuriously, in the same measure give her torment and sorrow; for she says in her heart, ‘I sit as queen, and am no widow, and will not see sorrow.’”
