Alistair Begg, a prominent figure in American evangelicalism, is under scrutiny for his stance on homosexuality and attending a family member's KKK rally. Critics, including William E. Wolfe and Ben Zeisloft, accuse Begg of promoting a double standard in moral judgment. Russell Moore, Gavin Ortlund, and Samuel James are called out for their perceived inconsistency in defending Begg's actions. Steve Deace criticizes Begg's encouragement of a grandmother to support her grandson's gender transition. The controversy has sparked a debate within evangelical circles about moral standards and theological convictions.
Evangelical Calvinists and Charismatics support this. Whatever you people are teaching these days, it’s not of God. https://t.co/zgQvAA1kAS
Regime evangelicals set their moral compass by the true north of elite liberal approval—and not by the Word of God.

Update: None of these men have been able to explain why they argue “show grace” in defending attending a homosexual “wedding” and if they would they say the same thing if a public teacher like Begg said “show grace” on going to a family member’s KKK Grand Wizard ceremony. https://t.co/v35yFgYIKL
Encouraged to see the traction this is getting I don’t expect a genuine response from Russell Moore, Samuel James, or Gavin Ortlund, etc. They will squirm quietly, knowing they are hypocritical in the sins they would cancel people for defending & the sins they say show grace on https://t.co/5IKgbSJLBg
Or, Protestant theological retrieval is NOT possible without doubling down on evangelicalism. Evangelical seminaries have access to a wealth of theological resources that the mainline pastors haven’t even the slightest clue about. Plus the profs actually believe the stuff. https://t.co/AJNAPlBySl
My latest for @theblaze — Why Alistair Begg encouraging a grandmother to help her grandson, who has sadly succumbed to the gender cult, desecrate the sacrament of marriage isn’t “compassion” but just the opposite. https://t.co/8A5ZyUz2xe
Russell Moore articulates the bare minimum standard of a wedding as a corporate ceremony before God, which is the very bare minimum standard Alistair Begg should hold, then does lots of squishy third-wayism that flies in the face of the convictions he says he holds. https://t.co/T7RYsEYYd5 https://t.co/LzMT06qIt8
So by Begg’s logic, if maintaining a good witness with your family members meant joining them at a white supremacist rally, you should do so. I can’t wait for Russell Moore, Gavin Ortlund, and Samuel James to defend the next Christian who makes this argument! Grace, right?
If you want to understand modern American evangelical morality, you must internalize this fact: Homosexuality is the approved sin of the city, so it must always get a “kids gloves” treatment in order to maintain a “witness” to urban, elite liberals “Racism” is the…
Consider this: If Begg has defended attending a family member’s KKK rally, you think the Gavin Ortlund types would defend him? No way Because racism is the unforgivable sin of the Regime Evangelicals But homosexuality is the special sin of our modern age So it gets a pass
Imagine if you will, just for a moment, if Begg had defended going to a family member’s KKK rally. You think Samuel James and his lot would be supporting him? Not. For. A. Second. So once again we see that these types view homosexuality as some special sin that gets a pass. https://t.co/fJ1c8C0RWC
