David Paul on Being Betrayed by Andy Stanley and his So-Called “Unconditional Conference” for Sodomites/Homosexuals and the LGBTQQIPF2SSAA+ Community
Daniel Whyte III, President of Gospel Light Society International, says he tried his best to warn you.
I am writing this in response to multiple requests by those in my community.
After this last weekend, many Christians feel even more betrayed by Western Christian leadership in general, and Andy Stanley specifically. For those still unaware, Andy Stanley, who has perpetuated controversy in recent years with skeptical comments about the authority of Scripture, left little to the imagination about his true beliefs on sexuality when he planned his “Unconditional” Conference. Targeting compassionate Christian families with LGBT acolytes and activists, these well-meaning families, motivated to show love, put themselves under teaching that they believed came from a reputable source only to discover their families will experience additional grief.
Far from his father’s notoriety for obedience to Scripture, Andy instigates confusion over its historical interpretation and authority. His conference demonstrates a rebellion from foundational principles and tenets that give the Christian faith its Christian distinction. It seems his interpretation of “unconditional” isn’t referring to the unconditional love of God displayed in the sacrifice of His son for the redemption of sinful man, but instead a means of rebellion where God’s conditions for salvation are compromised — using limited lived experience and hyper-grace as the futile soil and tainted fuel to grow another sort of kingdom.
The authentic Gospel is mysteriously displayed in the physical traditional marriage God laid out at the creation of the Universe: one man, one woman, for a lifetime. His conference is a perversion of the Gospel itself and a mockery of the created order.
In contrast to Andy’s followers, the Overcomer (Church) subculture, and greater the universal Church, has a 2,000-year-old history of redemption from sexual sin and perversion. The Overcomer subculture has been strained by his theological understanding and poor church reputation in our communities. Made of ex-gays, non-gays and de-transitioners who have abandoned the culture and exchanged the temporary benefits of the flesh for God’s Kingdom, these Christians are known for faith-filled sobriety and a commitment to a regenerative Christian lifestyle.
