The Myth & Dangers of Christian "Accountability"
Manage episode 466284091 series 2797990
How much do you have to listen to someone who wants to tell you how to live and what you’re doing wrong, and if you’d just follow their advice you’d be good? Not much!
Have you heard the phrase “iron sharpens iron” as a justification for someone telling you everything that is wrong with you?
Or have you ever been part of a religious “accountability” group? Same thing -- someone who feels that they have the duty to tell you what you should be doing.
Social media bickering, trolling, bullying — the freedom strangers feel to reply in all caps to someone they don’t know — on an issue they don’t know — is all part of this narrative.
You deserve the truth. Your heart deserves to be freed from the myth and dangers of "Christian accountability."
