One can misinterpret a situation. Finney, who inspired Noyes, advocated social reforms, such as abolition of slavery and equal education for women and African Americans. “Presidents of Oberlin College,” Oberlin College Archives. 17/29
Finney taught @/president of Oberlin College: students were accepted w/o regard 2 race/sex Faculty & students :activists 4 abolition, Underground Railroad, & universal education. Hambrick-Stowe, “Charles G. Finney and the Spirit of American Evangelicalism,” 1996, p. 199. 18/29
Oberlin College mere name - “the concept, the notional idea of it seems to represent something deeply evil and threatening to the right-wing commentariat.” Spencer, “Why do conservatives hate Oberlin so much?” Salon, 06/18/19. 19/29
Rev Beckwith quotes Finney - who inspired a community accused by regressive people of having orgies - on the website of what I infer is Rev Beckwith’s pro-trump candidacy. 20/29
I cite GOP leaders for specific stands, but never have adopted every point of each. During his fourth debate with Stephen Douglas, in 1858 Lincoln made grossly racist statements. 21/29
Theodore Roosevelt busted monopolies and favored progressive income taxes, yet also was a militarist; he created the national parks, but blew away beautiful wild creatures. 22/29
USA was founded on gross hypocrisies. Constitution speaks of “Justice” & “Liberty” yet protected the most vile of institutions, slavery. Inconsistency between stated values and conduct is American as chop suey. 23/29
Rev Beckwith should clarify. To quote Washington, a deist, to advance a political agenda steeped in religion is inconsistent with Washington’s beliefs and misconstrues the first President’s use of the term “Heaven.” 24/29
Finney’s more consistent w/Oberlin College today than with Rev Beckwith’s & his alma mater, Huntington U.: students should reflect Christ in appearance and behavior/behavior may B different fr societal laws and norms.... 25/29
Huntington wants students 2 maintain “high standards of sexual purity. Sexual relations are reserved for the institution of marriage between a man and a woman.” Sexual purity & the GOP do not go hand in condom, so to speak. 26/29
Rev Beckwith really needs 2 clarify: Oneida community advocated marriage between a man and a woman - but a whole bunch of marriages. In context of college, campus-wide orgies might appeal to millennials. 27/29
Perhaps that is a demographic to whom Rev Beckwith seeks to appeal. Otherwise, Rev Beckwith should not quote people, such as Washington and Finney out of context.This is especially true when a candidate states positions consistent with dominionism and theocracy. 28/29
I am Mark Small, candidate in GOP primary for U.S. House in Indiana’s 5th Congressional District. I’m proud to be a progressive The “Moral Majority” was neither Religious “right” hijacked GOP & we need GOP back. I approve of this blog. Hell, I wrote it. 29/29
