Thabiti Anyabwile Hijacks Pro-Life Movement to Push Marxism and Leftist Politics at SEBTS Chapel
On January 24, Thabiti Anyabwile was invited to deliver the chapel service at Southeastern Baptist Theological Seminary.
Anyabwile began the sermon with a historical comparison of abortion to various other holocausts such as the African slave trade and the Jewish holocaust, rightly marginalizing abortion as having a far greater death toll than any of these events. Further, he rightly acknowledges that abortions have impacted African Americans at an inordinate rate.
As sensible as this historical analysis may have been, it’s where the sound reason of this sermon ended.
The crux of his message was centered around a poor exegesis of Proverbs 31:1-9. For brevity, I’ll quote verses 8-9, the main point.
8 Open your mouth for the mute,
for the rights of all who are destitute.[c]
9 Open your mouth, judge righteously,
defend the rights of the poor and needy.
He then spent the remainder of his service attempting to persuade his audience that this passage is a call for Christians to take up the cause of social justice–particularly the cause of the current movement that’s redefining the gospel in the evangelical church.
