Episode Synopsis
The Misuse of "That Isn't Christian"
The phrase "that isn't Christian" is often used manipulatively by non-Christians to challenge or shame believers when they stand firm on their faith-based convictions, especially when these conflict with cultural norms. This tactic leverages a superficial understanding of Christian teachings, emphasising tolerance over discernment and truth. True Christian love involves both compassion and a willingness to address falsehood and immorality, which may lead to difficult conversations. A deep grounding in scripture is essential for Christians to resist this manipulation and maintain a faithful witness. #ChristianFaith #Manipulation #Discernment #BiblicalTruth #ChristianLove #Scripture #swindonchurch #brendonnaicker #swindonchurches #Christianity #theologyschool #CulturalNorms #FaithfulWitness
