#johnmacarthur — Public Fediverse posts

@AnungIkwe @Sycaid I completely understand where you're coming from, the church's purity culture has hurt and harmed a lot of people. There's no greater example of this than the time #JohnMacArthur's church cast out a member for speaking out against her husband's abuse and seeking separation/abuse:

However, the whole church isn't like that. In fact, folks like #Ruslan (who made those videos), #JulyRoys (who reported this and did some investigation), who are part of the #Christian community are how a lot of these stories are brought into the light. It's dangerous to conflate what the church has done with what God and true Christianity is like. Harmful churches such as these distort the image of God and are extremely harmful.

(There's a lot more to your post that I won't respond to as it's not particularly relevant to the overall discussion, but I hate seeing God misrepresented.)

There are a lot of mischaracterizations of what I said in this thread too. I'd recommend you take a look at some of my other responses, stating for example that how she seems to have behaved towards the principal or whatever his position is was far more appropriate because she argued her position rather than calling him names.
