The Base Problem with Atonement Soteriology


“They are calling you a lot of names out there,” CBN’s David Brody told McEnany during a recent interview. “You said you will not lie and they are calling you a liar and they’re calling you other names: racist and birther and all that type of stuff.”

“I know the person I am,” McEnany replied. “I know what I stand for. And I stand as a Christian woman, someone who believes in equality and truth and loyalty and honesty. It’s the values I’ve lived by my whole life. It’s the values I’ll continue to live by.”

“People will malign you,” she continued. “It comes with the job but I know who I’m ultimately working for and it’s the big guy upstairs. And my mission in life is that when I pass that He will look at me and say, ‘Well done, good and faithful servant.'”
A) lying in the service of a higher good doesn't make you not-a-liar.

B) Lying when you think it's not lies doesn't make you not-a-liar.

C) The test of a Christian should be humility in the face of God and others, not "I am saved so fuck all y'all."  Or, in the words of that fine gospel number by the Austin Lounge Lizards:  "Jesus loves me, but he can't stand you."
