Exceptional work distinguishing between faith and power structure. The framework around motivated literalism explains so much about how scripture gets weaponized selectively. I've noticed people who invoke biblical authority on hierarchy go completley silent when passages about wealth redistribution or welcoming strangers come up. Whitaker's insider perspective makes the power-over-principle analysis impossible to dismiss.
Sounds good, and holds humanity. But it’s far from “active”. Antisemitism is still alive and well (w/horrible actions); Jews may not buy homes in certain areas. How does the Christian leadership NOT understand the teachings of Jesus?
(I told my husband, you married me because I’m Jewish and my father is mayor. He laughed and said- that’s right. I got a lawyer.) Money & power is, well….obviously.

Tim you are the same age as my 4th born son.
So much in a doctrine so so quickly
This is very scary. I didn’t realize you night came from Christian Nationalist when you started changing your views
This is hard to imagine a church changing so much
