And that we, as Christians, need to unhitch from all of that. There was a worldview, there was a perspective, there was an approach to life, and all of that was going away.
ANDY STANLEY 10 COMMANDMENT SERIES
I should have put “old covenant” instead of “Old Testament.” But the reason – and please don’t lose your question I want to come back to this – the reason I did is – the point I was trying to make in that particular message, in that particular series that followed another series, all of which went together, but that’s a story for another day – is I want our church and our congregation to understand it’s not just the Law. The interview with DTS’s Table podcast occurred the following October, and here’s what Stanley says: That last portion about faith is basically a polemic against excessively elevating the doctrine of inerrancy. And who knows? Someday, your faith may depend on it as well. The faith of your neighbor may depend on it. The faith of the next generation may depend on our willingness and our ability to get this right. It’s actually the same reason they did: because we must not make it difficult for those Gentiles who are turning to God. Peter, James, Paul elected to unhitch the Christian faith from their Jewish scriptures, and my friends, we must as well. Near the very end of the sermon, he sums up as follows: The sermon in question in which Stanley made his “unhitch” remark was in April 2018 and primarily focused upon Acts 15.
The interview isn’t entirely focused upon Andy Stanley’s sermon, but there is a portion that seems to have missed necessary attention. DTS leadership may rightly find it uncomfortable when he is being called a Marcionite. Stanley is one of DTS’ most prominent active graduates, and his church hosts a DTS extension site.
ANDY STANLEY 10 COMMANDMENT SKIN
It is fair to say that Dallas Seminary has some skin in this game.
Despite the attempt, a review of Stanley’s sermons reveals major theological problems that persistent “unhitch” stabs on social media may fail to grasp. In it, Stanley attempts some clarification at what he meant in the controversial sermon several months prior. But we believe that we will be saved through the grace of the Lord Jesus, just as they will.”Īmidst the very negative reactions to Andy Stanley’s comment last year that Christians need to “unhitch” from the Old Testament, a discussion Stanley had with Dallas Theological Seminary leadership on its Table Podcast seems to have gone almost completely unnoticed on Christian social media.
