EXTOL re-union at Furnace Fest

I guess we'll have to agree to disagree.  I don't hear anything unbiblical in what he said.  I didn't catch him say "he, she, or it" regarding God, but neither is that unbiblical IMO since God is Spirit and doesn't have a penis or vagina because those are material, biological accessories.  I can see how it could be mildly problematic from a traditional cultural standpoint of viewing God as a man, though.

More importantly, judging another's salvation and being a religious gatekeeper is something that Jesus definitely spoke against as strongly as anything.  I wonder why no one engaging in that practice ever questions their own biblical-ness?

I had a response to this, but I’m just gonna leave it alone for now. People need to examine and see what is biblical for themselves.

Just for clarification, I’m not saying Peter is lost. In the other thread I said he wandered from the Faith, which he has, but for all I know that’s a temporary backsliding.

Here's a problem, he says he needs to be true to himself, when the Bible says we deny ourselves and take up our cross and follow Jesus.  And though we can't ultimately know if people are saved we are to test their words and works to see if they match Scripture, Jesus spent his ministry doing that very thing.
As for God identifying as a man, he used male pronouns to identify himself, to change that is to deny what Scripture teaches

also, God is referred to as "Father" over and over
