Reaction to Ministry Watch Article on Alistair Begg Part 2

It would truly mean more to understand where Warren Smith derives his theology and ontology of marriage from, as then his beliefs can be better understood, despite disagreements over the correctness of those ideas. It would also mean a great deal if we saw more evangelical authors stop conflating situational advice given to a particular person as being advice given to everyone considering themselves to be an evangelical Christian.

Again - shoutout to the grandmother who wanted help to tread that fine line. She’s also a victim in this whole catastrophe, regardless if you agree with her struggles and beliefs, and she deserves much compassion.
