Empathy is the new Christian battleground "Empathy as hoisted up as the highest virtue — or even a virtue at all — gets us into a really big mess," conservative author Allie Beth Stuckey said on a "Family Talk" podcast. She wrote a book last year, "Toxic Empathy: How Progressives Exploit Christian Compassion."
Christian Nationalist Commentator Joshua Haymes Says 'Slavery Is Not Inherently Evil' Far-right commentator Joshua Haymes recently posted a video in which he beseeched his fellow Christian nationalists to learn to defend the institution of slavery because the Bible makes it clear that "it is not inherently evil to own another human being." Haymes—who hosts a podcast with pastor Brooks Potteiger of Pilgrim Hill Reformed Fellowship, a far-right church located outside of Nashville, TN, that is aligned with Christian nationalist pastor Douglas Wilson and counts Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth as a member—was reacting to a recent Jubilee video in which conservative Christian commentator Allie Beth Stuckey debated 20 liberals. Haymes was unimpressed with Stuckey's response when challenged about the Bible's sanction of the practice of slavery, warning that offering up anything short of a vigorous defense of slavery opens the door to challenging the authority of the Bible on all sorts of issues. "The institution of slavery is not inherently evil," Haymes insisted.

The article goes on to explain that Allie Beth Stuckey, author of “Toxic Empathy: How Progressives Exploit Christian Compassion,” believes that empathy has been co-opted “to convince people that the progressive position is exclusively the one of kindness and morality.” (Pride Source 8/27/25) READMORE>>>>> Is empathy a sin?

June 10, 2024: Media Matters reported: ight-wing media are split over former President Donald Trump selling a “God Bless the USA” Bible for $59.99 just ahead of Easter Sunday. Some right-wing figures are calling Trump’s Bible “sacrilegious,” while others are saying it’s “blessed.” According to the Bible’s sales page, the Trump presidential campaign is not profiting from sales of the book. However, the page does not say anything about whether or not profits are funding Trump’s legal battles, of which there are many. Trump is selling the Bible in partnership with country singer Lee Greenwood. BlazeTV podcast host and anti-LGBTQ commentator Allie Beth Stuckey described Trump selling Bibles as giving her “the ‘ick’ times 1000." “It feels sacrilegious, it feels political, it feels like you’re selling a Bible to pay your legal fees, which I just don’t like,” Stuckey said.
June 10, 2024: ALLIE BETH STUCKEY (GUEST SPEAKER): Don't live with your boyfriend or your fiancé before you get married. Statistically, you are far more likely to break up or to divorce if you do. Not everyone, of course, but that is statistically true. Plus, you are giving him all of the milk without having to buy the cow, you are playing wife without him really having to play husband. The truth is, and this is uncomfortable and unpopular to say, most of our problems in society, most of our problems, a huge portion of problems in society are caused by premarital and extramarital sex. Fatherlessness, abortion, all kinds of sexual depravity, even gender confusion are caused by a culture that prioritizes irresponsible and perverted sex. That is the truth.
October 2024: Excerpt from Allie Beth Stuckey's book "Toxic Empathy: How progressives exploit Christian compassion."
Some Christians who oppose stricter immigration laws argue that the Bible orders us to love the foreigner. But God’s command to love the foreigner or sojourner must be understood against the backdrop of God’s character, namely, His orderliness. Scripture indeed contains several verses about respecting and loving the “sojourner” and the “foreigner.” Leviticus 19:34 calls on the nation of Israel to “treat the stranger who sojourns with you as the native among you, and you shall love him as yourself for you were strangers in the land of Egypt.” Deuteronomy 10:18–19 tells us that God “loves the sojourner” and that therefore Israel should love the sojourner too. These verses are important, and they tell us about God’s character: He has compassion for the outcast, displaced, and lonely. But any attempt to use these passages as evidence that the Bible demands allowing both illegal and legal immigration is faulty. First, it should be noted that many, particularly progressives, who use these passages as support for liberal immigration policy regularly criticize Christian conservatives for using Scripture as support for our own policies, condemning us as tyrannical theocrats. But it’s not only okay but reasonable and right, for a Christian to allow God’s Word to shape what we think about policies and how we vote. We just have to make sure we’re doing so properly, through thoughtful exegesis and application. That means we must seek to understand the context. When Christian conservatives use Psalm 139:15–16, for example, which says that God carefully, fearfully, and wonderfully knit us together in our mothers’ wombs, as our reason to oppose abortion, we’re not taking the verse out of context. That’s what Scripture says, and that’s what it means: God made us in the womb, therefore we have human dignity in the womb. But when progressives use these Old Testament verses as a prescription for unlimited immigration, either legal or illegal, they completely disregard the historical and biblical context of the command to honor the foreigner. When God called on the Israelites to “love the sojourner,” that wasn’t a green light for every immigrant to enter Israel — or America, for that matter. Let’s look at the context: Just before the Jews left their slavery in Egypt, in the earliest days of Mosaic law, the Lord told His people that the relationship between them and the sojourner wasn’t one-sided. Yes, they were supposed to love the sojourner and treat him with respect, but the sojourner had duties too. They had to follow the exact same Mosaic law as the Jews (Exodus 12:49). In Exodus 12:48, God told Moses that the stranger “shall be as a native of the land” but only if he “let all his males be circumcised.” God wasn’t condoning uncontrolled immigration, but rather the orderly acceptance of people willing to observe Jewish practices and to assimilate into Jewish culture. Just because aliens wanted to enter Israel didn’t mean that the Jews were obligated to suspend the enforcement of their laws. Reciprocity and respect were requisite. Israel had to respect foreigners and treat them with dignity, but foreigners had to do the same to the nation of Israel, and they could not respect Israel without respecting its laws. So if we’re going to apply the immigration laws of ancient Israel to the United States, we’re looking at much more restrictive policies than we have today. America is not ancient Israel, though, so Christians don’t have the responsibility to enact Old Testament laws here. But Christians can and should look at both the Old and New Testaments to learn what actions create a just, peaceful society and what actions enable injustice and chaos. Scripture depicts walls, both literally and metaphorically, as a defense against disorder and evil. Nehemiah called upon his fellow Israelites to “build the wall of Jerusalem, that we may no longer suffer derision” (Nehemiah 2:17). When the wall was finally built, Levites came to “celebrate the dedication with gladness, with thanksgivings, and with singing, with cymbals, harps and lyres” (Nehemiah 12:27). In the Psalms, David calls upon the Lord to “build up the walls of Jerusalem” (Psalm 51:18) and prayed that peace would exist within the walls of Jerusalem and security within her towers (Psalm 122:6–7). Solomon admitted the necessity of walls when he wrote that “a man without self-control is like a city broken into and left without walls” (Proverbs 25:28). The prophet Isaiah compared the salvation of God to “walls and bulwarks” (Isaiah 26:1) and that when the Jews live in a land without devastation or destruction, “you shall call your walls Salvation and your gates Praise” (Isaiah 60:18). I’m not offering these passages as precise policy prescriptions for American immigration law, but I do hope to demonstrate how highly God regards order, peace, and security for nations, and that walls — or any form of strong borders — are representative of them. In short, borders create order, while borderlessness creates disorder. Chaos and disorder always have victims, and they’re usually those with the least physical, economic, or political power to defend themselves. It is because of — not in spite of — God’s heart for the vulnerable that He gave us the ideas of nations, borders, governments, and laws. Acts 17:26-27 says, “And [God] made from one man every nation of mankind to live on all the face of the earth, having determined allotted periods and the boundaries of their dwelling place, that they should seek God, and perhaps feel their way toward him and find him.” Contrary to popular opinion, borders aren’t an evil construct devised by tyrants. They’re a concept contrived by God. And yet, not everyone in the church agrees that we should restrict illegal immigration. In fact, some argue that to do so is against our call as Christians. NOTE From The Haystack: The book essentially makes claims about verses from the Old Testament in which she claims the verses are important (love the sojourner". etc). But then uses other verses in the Old Testament to frame what God really meant ...which she essentially voids the verses she claims "progressives" use and embraces the ones the right wingers use. Stuckey is a right winger and can only speak from her position...and, hence, her book. I can write a book about pretty much any subject if I can pick the verses I want and discard the rest as being irrelevant if I pick the position I want to embrace first. (She has been conservatively blogging since 2017) An important premise for anyone wanting to know God's heart on any subject is to seek to seek the God who is there and not the God we want. --Zorek Richards 10/14/24 |
