Untwisting the Scriptures: Wolves, Hypocrisy & Sin Leveling

Guest Bios Show Transcript https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fp0ljJr38FQ Is all sin equal? Can you call out wickedness in someone else—or is that judging? And what does it really mean to “err on the side of grace”? If you’ve heard some of these lines, and perhaps been silenced by them, this latest episode of The Roys Report is for you.  Joining me is Rebecca Davis, author of the Untwisting the Scriptures book series. And in this podcast we discuss her latest book in the series, addressing wolves in the church, hypocrisy, sin leveling, and righteousness. Honestly, there couldn’t be a better time for this book. With all the abuse and corruption in the church, we need to know what the Bible really says. So often Scripture is taken out of context. And it’s twisted by people with a vested interest in protecting themselves, or their prized institutions, to silence whistleblowers.  Rebecca does a masterful job of revealing why you, as a child of God, have a right to speak out — and why some sins are more egregious than others, especially when committed by leaders. This Weeks Guests Rebecca Davis Rebecca Davis is the author of over 20 books for children and adults, among them the Untwisting Scriptures series. Rebecca’s personal ministry includes serving as a spiritual coach through Immanuel prayer ministry while acting as a compassionate witness to people’s hard stories, helping those who are in or coming out of abuse, untwisting Scriptures that have been used to keep people in abusive situations, and offering hope through Jesus Christ. She writes about these things on her blog, https://heresthejoy.com and in her books, drawing from her more than 40 years of study of the Scriptures. Show Transcript SPEAKERS JULIE ROYS, REBECCA DAVIS JULIE ROYS  00:04 Is all sin equal? Can you call out wickedness in someone else or is that judging? And what does it really mean to err on the side of grace? Welcome to The Roys Report, a podcast dedicated to reporting the truth and restoring the church. I’m Julie Roys, and if you’ve heard some of the lines that I just mentioned, and perhaps been silenced by them, you’re going to really benefit from today’s episode. Joining me is Rebecca Davis. And if that name sounds familiar to you, it may be because this is the fourth time I’ve had Rebecca on my podcast. She’s the author of The Untwisting the Scripture series of books. Other books dealt with untwisting the scriptures regarding patriarchy, emotions, and the notion of giving up your rights. And now Rebecca has a new addition to the series addressing wolves in sheep’s clothing, hypocrisy, sin leveling, and righteousness. And honestly, there couldn’t be a better time for this book. With all the abuse and corruption in the church, we really need to know what the Bible really says. So often, Scripture is taken out of context, and it’s twisted by people with a vested interest in protecting themselves or their prized institutions, to silence whistleblowers. And Rebecca does a masterful job of revealing why you, as a child of God, have a right to speak out. You don’t have to be perfect to point out sin, and that not all sin is equal.
