Doctrinal Triage

“One moral/theological issue that is now rising to the top of the list for us is the attitude of the church toward Israel and the rise of antisemitism in professing Christianity. Many fundamental Baptist church members are avid followers of Candace Owens, Tucker Carlson, and others.

“…in one sense, everything is a Gospel issue. Christ is Lord. All things fall under his rule. Christ redeems all things, not only our souls but the whole creation. So the real question is not whether something is a Gospel issue, but how close it stands to the Gospel itself.” - Wyatt Graham

“The Gospel Coalition and Together For the Gospel…. In both cases, baptismal differences are not regarded as barriers to participation, whereas differences over manhood and womanhood are. What might account for this difference (and others like it)?” - Christ Over All

“It was my pleasure to contribute to ‘The Drivetrain’ episode on theological triage. Al Mohler popularized this terminology for distinguishing the importance of Bible teachings in his 2005 article ‘A Call for Theological Triage and Christian Maturity.’” - Andy Naselli

“…everybody separates, has lines of demarcation around a set of acceptable views, lines that keep out unacceptable ones. Everybody, I think, stratifies doctrine, from the irascible discernment blogger who seems to treat every doctrine as of first importance to the liberal who makes it all negotiable.” - Mark Ward

“If our identity is riding on our differences with other believers, we will tend to major in the study of differences. We may even find ourselves looking for faults in others in order to define ourselves.” - TGC
