Listen "Did Evangelical Theology Lead to Gay Marriage? Mike Winger’s Unintended Argument"

Episode Synopsis

Did Evangelical theology—specifically  ⁨@MikeWinger⁩ 's armchair theology—make gay marriage inevitable? That’s exactly what we’re breaking down today. Mike Winger argues that marriage is just a "public covenant" that doesn’t require priesthood authority—but if that’s true, what’s stopping the state from redefining it? Spoiler: Nothing.In this video, we expose the logical contradictions in Winger’s take on marriage, using his own words against him.We’ll cover:✅ The "public covenant" myth—why it’s not biblical✅ If authority wasn't required to marry, then why did Jesus cite Moses’ authority to introduce divorce?✅ How Protestantism erased priesthood authority, setting the stage for modern marriage debates✅ The Matthew 19 misinterpretation—and why the Sadducees were "thinking Biblically" (aka, winging it)✅ Mike Winger’s own words on the afterlife and marriage—and the hilarious ironic contradictions of his argument If Evangelicals removed divine authority from marriage, they don’t get to be mad when society takes them up on the offer to redefine it. Let’s talk about it.👇 Watch now and let me know in the comments:Do modern Christians have any theological ground to stand on when opposing gay marriage? Or did they redefine marriage long before the Supreme Court did?Substack: 30 Fruits of the LDS Church That No Others Can Beat🔹 https://open.substack.com/pub/halestorm/p/data-backed-evidence-of-fruit-in?r=a4hxv&utm_campaign=post&utm_medium=web&showWelcomeOnShare=true🎧 Prefer audio? 🔹 Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/6wmtsNQCl0ToLeSkt6j4hs?si=439a1219b7924c9a🔹 Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/halestorm/id1438201012 📲Follow me on: YouTube only.
