Thanks to all who engaged with this tweet, including the Reformed guys who called it “idiotic,” “eisegesis,” “racegesis” (?), and “a massive stretch.” I forgot the quotes and citation but this is actually a line from a John MacArthur sermon. https://www.gty.org/library/sermons-library/48-9/the-danger-of-adding-to-the-gospel https://twitter.com/jaredcwilson/status/1336409351276400643
FTR, I agree with Dr. Mac here. And you’ll have to forgive the “thou art the man”-ing here, but I was trying to conduct a little experiment about statements about race, about how we measure truth based more on approved or unapproved voices than the claims themselves.
A while way back I tweeted that the dispute between Paul and Peter recounted in Galatians was in part an issue about racism, and I got absolutely skewered. James White even torched me on the DL over it. Then I pointed out MacArthur made the same claim, and the criticism stopped
That experience was very informative
