“I would argue that if we truly believe in total depravity, then we must accept mental illness as a biblical category. If I believe that sin has affected every part of my body, including my brain, then it shouldn’t surprise me when my brain doesn’t work correctly.” - C.Leaders

“Allison is firmly convinced that the majority of the Christian tradition has been in serious error on this point. He even confesses a certain amount of ‘blindness’ and ‘bias’ on his own part, due to his ‘sex identity’ and the “entrenched prejudice” of the tradition in which he was initially formed (10–11).” - CBMW/Eikon

“… the American Council of Christian Churches at its 84th annual convention, October 21-23, 2025, at Bible Presbyterian Church of Charlotte, NC, resolves to stand against the rising tide of feminism and intentional infertility.

“The biblical claim that humanity is made as the imago Dei—the image of God—is not merely a sectarian doctrine; it is the most stable philosophical anchor for human dignity ever articulated.

“Customarily when we think of what it means to be made in God’s likeness, what comes to mind are features like our human capacity for reasoning, perhaps, or memory or language—all of which are true and essential to our image-of-God-ness. But there’s still more.” - Mere Orthodoxy

“A recent survey, The State of Theology, revealed that 64 percent of American evangelicals believe ‘everyone is born innocent in the eyes of God,’ and 53 percent believe ‘everyone sins a little, but most people are good by nature.’” - TGC

“At the inaugural Centennial Impact Summit on Sept. 26 and 27, speakers addressed technology’s role in shaping how humans see themselves, other people, and God. The event…was titled ‘Theology, Technology, and Anthropology: Reclaiming Embodiment in a Brave New World.’” - C.Leaders

“To claim ownership of one’s body without accepting the authority of anyone or anything else, including biology, could mean rejecting even the biological truths imprinted on one’s body since the womb. If you alone own your body, you can make it into anything you want” - Acton

“Complementarians look at biological sex and gender, the psychosocial aspect of sex, through a teleological lens. We believe there’s a God-designed link between being male or female and the doing roles God has called us to inhabit as men and women.” - TGC
