Jeff Bethke’s video called “Why I Hate Religion, But Love Jesus” went viral and ended up all over the Internet, including numerous Facebook posts. The early response was very positive, but some needed correction and perspective has been given by Kevin DeYoung and Glenn T. Stanton.
Some of what Jeff said was right, but some of it was wrong at best or misguided at least.
You can read DeYoung’s response here.
You can also read some interaction between Bethke and DeYoung here, to both of their credit (a good example of brothers in Christ having a good discussion).
Glenn Stanton adds his thoughts here – more on the reaction to the video.
All of these pieces are worth our consideration and the issue raised by Bethke is worth discussing.
