"Unhitching" Jesus?: Did Andy Stanley's Easter 2020 Message "Unhitch" Jesus From Scripture?
Andy Stanley's Easter 2020 message said we don't know about the resurrection because of the Bible. What if he is creating unnecessary and unhelpful distinctions that weaken the foundation of our faith instead of strengthening it?
Andy Stanley may have good intentions. It’s great if he’s trying to get people to believe in the resurrection. Unfortunately his attempts may be creating unnecessary distinctions that weaken the foundation of our faith.
He says we don’t believe in the resurrection because of the bible. He is really splitting hairs on this in one aspect, and is totally undercutting scripture that points to Jesus. He can make his point without appearing to say scripture isn’t foundational.
The idol here is the attempt to be clever and relevant though unnecessary hairsplitting and creation of distinctions.
