Listen to Matt Chandler's Absolutely Absurd Claim that the "Left Wants the Kingdom Without the King"
Matt Chandler, ever the political and theological gymnast, has once again surprised us with his stunning intellectual prowess. In his latest attempt to appease everyone—especially the left—during a podcast with Lecrae, he quotes N.T. Wright, claiming that "the left wants the Kingdom without the King."
Oh, really, Matt? Let's take a look into this “kingdom” you say the left wants.
First, let's envision this leftist utopia, this so-called "kingdom" that Chandler is apparently so impressed by. It's a place where systematic child murder is as common as a trip to the grocery store. Need to eliminate the burden of your unborn child? No problem—it's your “kingdom right!” After all, what's a kingdom without the freedom to kill? It's practically a leftist sacrament.
Next, we have the “kingdom's” celebration of sexual immorality. Homosexuality, transgenderism, child body mutilation, and every other flavor of sexual deviance are not just tolerated but celebrated. It's a never-ending pride parade in Chandler's “leftist” “kingdom,” where biblical teachings on sexuality are thrown out the window in favor of whatever makes people feel good at the moment.
Why stick to outdated concepts like marriage between a man and a woman when you can have a kingdom where trans-ing children at schools and hiding it from parents is commonplace?
Of course, this “kingdom” wouldn't be complete without a generous helping of all the other leftist, unbiblical causes. Let's throw in a dash of socialism, a sprinkle of gender confusion for children, and a hearty serving of anti-Christian sentiment. It's a veritable buffet of everything that stands in opposition to biblical truth.
But let's be real here—Chandler's absurd reasoning isn't about theology or the gospel. It's about playing both sides of the fence, trying to appease the left while still holding onto some semblance of his supposed evangelical roots. He wants to cozy up to those who champion abortion and sexual immorality, hoping they'll see him as a "reasonable" and "enlightened" pastor. Meanwhile, he throws just enough crumbs to the right to keep them from abandoning him entirely.
In the end, this isn’t Christianity at all, it’s paganism. It isn’t the Kingdom of God that the left wants, as Chandler claims—it's a kingdom fit for the modern age, where truth is sacrificed on the altar of cultural acceptance. And it's utterly absurd.
