TWW attacks Mohler and Lambert; venom and bile on display in the comments

Of course TWW despises Mohler - has for many years and has attacked him many times.  Why?  Because he is extremely influential with those who seek to understand and live according to the plain teachings of Scripture.  He stands clearly behind the historic and orthodox understanding of Scripture.  If you are a feminist you are going to hate Al Mohler

Heath Lambert is a new target because he heads up ACBC, formerly N.A.N.C.   [ Jay Adam's nouthetic counseling.]

The T.W.W. commenters  pretty much hate anything "Biblical."  The venom and bile on display in the comments really is depressing.

Heath Lambert's Mea Culpa was impressive.  You simply can't fake that.

There is not ONE blogger or commenter who actually knows exactly why Eric Johnson was let go.  I assure you Al Mohler didn't call any of them up and share what he knows, they are all interpreting events based upon their hatred

Finally, there is not ONE commenter who actually cares about Eric Johnson, they only care about their hatred for Al Mohler and other conservative Evangelicals.

FYI, in the last few years there has actually been a subtle shift away from "nouthetic" counseling.  Part of that was reflected in the name change.

It appears, they have moved away from assessing all emotional/psychological issues as due to specific sins - which must be confronted ala Jay Adams - who is no longer a resource - to a more compassionate, nuanced view.

I would say they are softer on diagnosing all problems as having a sin basis to taking a more encouraging stance on working thru the issues of living with the people who come for help.

Do they still believe that man's sinfulness is at the route of many of man's emotional and psychological issues?  Indeed.  The brokenness of humanity is clearly tied to the presence of sin.  But how you help others need not be from a confrontational style and ACBC seems to have shifted away from the Jay Adams model.

They absolutely DO NOT tell clients to stop taking their physician prescribed medications.  That's a huge No No for ACBC members.

Bottom line, if you reject Scripture you will hate the counsel of ACBC.
