Indeed this seems to be a long-standing habit of Stanley. I would place my bets he’s selfishly ambitious and looking for a “middle ground” or “third way” so he can play both sides without having to offend anyone with the truth. His current public error is fruit of a seed from a while ago. He started to miss the discernment on lgbtq a while ago. Andy got this far into heresy because he left the truth a while ago. When someone as big as Stanley openly rebukes the Bible, it is Stanley who is openly in error and STANLEY who OPENLY needs to be corrected so ALL can hear. Another American pastor – and an ex-homosexual – Daren Mehl said this on the social media: When you proclaim heterodox views from the pulpit, then they need to be called out. However the old principle holds here: ‘Private sin, private rebuke public sin, public rebuke’. Living in known sin and being a faithful Christian is an oxymoron.īut some might argue that Stanley should be taken to task privately for all this. A ‘homosexual Christian’ is a contradiction in terms – full stop. Just as one can never say a Christian living in adultery is faith-filled or being faithful, so too here. Um, biblical faith is ALWAYS tied in with obedience. Now he has come out and said homosexuals in churches have more faith than straights do. So what is Andy up to now? Well, he has been quite weak on homosexuality, for a while causing many Christian leaders to be further concerned about him and his wishy-washy positions. I also penned a piece on why the OT is indispensable to the Christian, and to ignore it or to reject it is to reject God himself: Back in 2018 he said that Christians need to “unhitch” themselves from the OT: Īnd in another article I took him to task for making this reckless claim: “Participants in the new covenant (that’s Christians) are not required to obey any of the commandments found in the first part of their Bibles.” Good grief: so we can now kill, lie, steal and commit adultery since OT law means nothing to us now? See more on this here: I have already penned three articles about the son over the past five years, given what worrying things he has said that are at odds with biblical Christianity.įor example, he has basically embraced the heresy of Marcionism, in which he dismisses the Old Testament as irrelevant for the believer today. I have written before about Andy Stanley, the preacher son of another well-known preacher, Charles Stanley. Fake faith is all about ‘if it feels right, do it,’ and anything goes. Biblical faith is never divorced from obedience to God and his word. Indeed, this article is all about faith: real faith versus false faith. Yes, this is a strange title, but wait: there is a connection between the Atlanta pastor and the two Old Testament champions of faith.
