It’s October! It’s time for our Semper Reformanda conviction rubber to meet the road. Love for Christ, for His Church, for 1.3 billion perishing Roman Catholics, and for compromised and hypocritical Christian leaders requires #SemperReformanda to be more than a Twitter hashtag, more than a point in a Reformation Day sermon, and more than mere words on a page in a history or theology book. It’s time for many Reformed and Evangelical pastors, leaders, and professing Christians to get to reforming or to get a new name. If you’re not actively reforming through the clear declaration and defense of the Gospel…you’re not really Reformed or Evangelical. If you aren’t willing to lovingly expose the soul-damning, Satanic evil of Roman Catholicism and call real Catholics to really repent and really believe the real Gospel…you’re not really Reformed or Evangelical. If you partner with, provide sheep’s clothing to, feed, help, and refuse to call out and expose perverted wolves in sheep’s clothing that walked boldly into our midst with a G3 Conference tag on (Doug Wilson & Mike Reid)…you’re not really Reformed or Evangelical…you’re not really qualified to exhort men to be manly, or to have backbone, or to demand that men repent for “slandering” your stalwart ministry…you’re actually a compromising hypocrite who should repent publicly.
There’s much to be commended in Josh Buice’s life, ministry, and teaching. The same can be said for his G3 Conference. However, that which is commendable doesn’t negate Josh Buice and the G3 Conference’s need for reformation. The recent social media scuffle between Costi Hinn, Doug Wilson, and Josh Buice brought the much-needed moral and Gospel reformation to the light of day.
Josh Buice Biblically Calls Out and Exposes Error on Social Media, Just Not the Error of Men in His Camp of G3 Ministry Friends and Partners
Not only does Josh rightly call out erring musicians like Chris Tomlin and Word of Faith false teachers like Joyce Meyer, but he dogmatically defends it by saying, “To shut your mouth would be a lack of manliness, backbone, and to violate God’s Word.” and then goes on to reference the Epistle of Jude as a clear defense of his social media rebuke of Tomlin and Meyer. Josh is absolutely right, “When wolves attack the church, you don’t feed them and help them…you call them out.”
Unfortunately, Josh is absolutely wrong when it comes to perverted wolves in his own circle of friends and G3 ministry partners. It’s easy and costs you nothing to call out and expose erring musicians and female TBN preachers outside of your theological camp and ministry. It’s not easy and it costs you significantly to call out and expose perverted wolves who are well within your own camp and circle (look what happened to Costi Hinn). Denying his own sound Biblical counsel…Josh has hypocritically fed and helped Doug Wilson…while refusing to call out and expose him.
Where are the manly men with backbones and waists girded up with truth who will stand up against the tide of those protecting Doug Wilson and wage a good warfare against Doug’s blasphemy of Christ and His Gospel?
“This charge I commit to you, son Timothy, according to the prophecies previously made concerning you, that by them you may wage the good warfare, having faith and a good conscience, which some having rejected, concerning the faith have suffered shipwreck, of whom are Hymenaeus and Alexander, whom I delivered to Satan that they may learn not to blaspheme.”
1 Tim. 1:18-20
Where Are the Manly Men With Moral Clarity, Gospel Clarity, and the Essential Backbone To Stand by Their Convictions…Alone if Necessary?
Where are all the influential Evangelical, Reformed, Protestant, Biblical G3 Conference preacher men with Bibles and backbones at? Why are they either strategically and stubbornly silent or actively defending a Gospel blaspheming pervert? Doug Wilson is an incorrigible heretic and pervert with an army of Wilson-ite defenders ready to call anyone who exposes him a slanderer…in the same shameful way that an army of Driscoll-ites defended the heretic and pervert, Mark Driscoll, before him. I used to wonder how Joseph Smith got away with his wild twisting of the Gospel and stealing other men’s wives, but over the years the repeated pattern of willful blindness toward men like Mark Driscoll, Mike Reid, and Doug Wilson has helped me understand how heretic perverts get away with it. Praise God, some faithful men are beginning to openly stand up against Wilson’s false gospel, perversion, and growing corrupting influence.
Pastor Costi Hinn stood up on Twitter and got hated, ridiculed, and called a slanderer for it. He planned to do a podcast exposing Wilson and he got significant pushback that resulted in him removing a podcast in which he mentioned Wilson and a shocking reversal of conviction and sickening public display of smiling unity with Doug Wilson. Costi couldn’t withstand the Wilson-ite storm and (perhaps worse) the censor of influential men who have long been compromising with Wilson…namely, Josh Buice, who hosted Doug Wilson at the G3 conference like he’s a theological reformed rock star and not the counter-reforming “Catholics are Christians too” heretic pervert that he so demonstrably and undeniably is. Pray Costi counts the cost and stands back up! No doubt his moral and theological head is a little fuzzy from the public beating he took.
Pastor Mike Abendroth, of No Compromise Radio, stood up (and did not back down) with three excellent podcasts and multiple Facebook posts and tweets. Give a listen to his September 22nd and 23rd, Dissecting Doug Wilson podcasts and his October 29th, Federal Vision no bueno! An appraisal of Doug Wilson and the Federal Vision podcast.
Pastor Jon Moffitt, of Theocast, released a video September 26th, titled, Is DOUG WILSON a FALSE TEACHER? He stood up and he too received the Wilson-ite standard Doug defense in the form of accusations of misrepresentation, divisiveness, and slander…but he did not back down.
Pastor Duncan Forbes, of Council Estate Christianity, made an introductory video and put together a PDF file cataloging Wilson’s perversions, false teaching, and outright heresy. I don’t condone all the individuals quoted in the PDF file, but it serves as a thorough catalog of Wilson quotes and links to original sources. If you can read and or listen to all that this perverted heretic has written and said…and still walk away a Doug Wilson fan…something is deeply wrong with your moral and theological discernment.
A word of caution to those of you calling faithful men (like those above) slanderers for exposing Wilson’s false gospel and perversion and/or exposing your promotion of Doug Wilson and your apathy toward his heresy and perversion. Wrongly calling godly men slanderers for exposing obvious, irrefutable, false teaching, heresy, perversion, and unholy alliances…is actually slander.
A word to the Wilson-ites who dismiss all Wilson criticism out of love of country, hatred of tyranny, and love of Biblical manliness. I’m an America loving, flag waving, gun owning, tyranny hating, anti-woke, anti-BLM, anti-ANTIFA, anti-LGBT agenda, anti-egalitarian, patriot, with a USMC tattoo on my right arm…who has pastored and preached the Gospel in the pulpit and on the streets of Portland, Oregon, in the city center, at the riverfront, at abortion clinics, etc. for well over 20 years. Doug Wilson doesn’t offend me because I’ve never heard juvenile sexualized speech, or because I’m woke, or because I disagree with pedobaptism. As a man and an American there are many things that I agree with and appreciate about Doug Wilson and his followers. As a Christian man, a husband, a father, a pastor, a minister of the Gospel, and a reformer there are many things that I find disgusting, shameful, and blasphemous. Here’s my own July, 2022, message of warning regarding Wilson’s false gospel and gross perversion.
In contrast to the four pastors mentioned above (including myself), Josh Buice and his G3 Conference have promoted dangerous false teachers, heretics, and perverts…and refuse to expose them for the protection of Christ’s Church. In his Costi Hinn Rebuke Blog, Josh Buice made the false claim that “G3 Ministries has always stood firm on the truth of Scripture, calling out false teachers, and exercising careful diligence in who we platform and partner with in gospel ministry.” In reality, Josh stubbornly refuses to call out #PedophilesCanBePastorsAndMeetAloneWithChildren Mike Reid and #CatholicsAreChristiansToo Doug Wilson…because they are in his circle of friends and G3 ministry partners. To be abundantly clear, Buice/G3 has full knowledge of Mike Reid’s dangerous teachings and practices and is still actively promoting him, associating with him, and giving a dangerous perverted wolf access to Christ’s sheep at the G3 Conference every year. I’ll be writing more on Josh Buice’s refusal to call out, expose, and put Mike Reid out of the G3 Conference soon, but Buice’s endangering of Christ’s Church and eternal souls by refusing to call out and expose Doug Wilson’s perversion, false teaching, and false gospel is the main topic of this article.
Josh Buice Can’t Defend His Hypocrisy With Doug Wilson in the Light of Day…so He Canceled/Blocked Me on Social Media
Josh Buice and I have much in common. We love much of the same theology and many of the same preachers. That commonality has made me hesitant to expose his long-term compromise and hypocrisy with the perverted wolf in G3 Conference sheep’s clothing named Mike Reid. When the social media scuffle between Costi Hinn, Doug Wilson, and Josh Buice broke out earlier this month and I saw Josh publicly beat down Costi Hinn and once again refuse to protect Christ’s Church from an obvious perverted wolf in sheep’s clothing…I publicly asked Josh Buice a question on Twitter that should have been easy to answer. Josh inadvertently described Doug Wilson in his October 12th tweet below, saying, “Many false teachers are good communicators.” He then admonished Christians everywhere to, “Beware. Be discerning. Be wise. Be committed to Scripture. [And] Be willing to separate from false teachers.” This was a logical place to ask a pointed question after what took place earlier in the month with Costi and Wilson. Buice’s response was deeply and consistently disappointing.
Here’s the backstory regarding Josh Buice’s connection with Doug Wilson. Josh has been quoting and highlighting Doug Wilson on his G3 Ministries website for years…Josh partnered up with Doug Wilson, Cross Politic, and New Saint Andrews (Wilson’s college)…Josh taught at New Saint Andrews…Josh hosted Cross Politic and Doug Wilson at the G3 Conference…and then Josh deceptively downplayed his connection with Doug Wilson and boldly crafted an entirely misleading false narrative, saying, “Did DW come to G3 as an attendee a few years ago? Yes.” as if that was the extent of their connection.
My Twitter exchange with Josh reveals his inexplicable commitment to obfuscation, mitigation, and deception in order to avoid answering my original question, “Is #DougWilson a perverted heretic to be exposed and separated from…as a man who calls women ‘cunts,’ Catholics ‘brothers,’ and says an antichrist Catholic apologist is genuinely saved…or is Doug a godly preacher worthy of a #G3Conference booth?”
Protect the Pervert Wolf in G3 Sheep’s Clothing! Silence the Truth. Cancel the Pastor Who Pleads With You To Take Your Own Counsel.
Josh Buice never answered my original question, “Is #DougWilson a perverted heretic to be exposed and separated from…as a man who calls women ‘cunts,’ Catholics ‘brothers,’ and says an antichrist Catholic apologist is genuinely saved…or is Doug a godly preacher worthy of a #G3Conference booth?” Why didn’t he just answer? For a man who publicly calls out Chris Tomlin, Joyce Meyer, and Beth Moore…many would think the answer to my question would be easy. Nor did Josh answer my subsequent questions, in which I compared Doug Wilson’s statements to Charles Spurgeon and John MacArthur’s and asked who was lying. His compromise and hypocrisy with Doug Wilson is undeniable. Josh Buice’s refusal to take his own counsel to call out, expose, and separate from false teachers, heretics, and perverts in his own circle of G3 friends and ministry partners is clear.
Josh Buice couldn’t stand in the light of day SO HE CANCELED ME with the block button. Who gets promoted and who gets canceled/blocked? Josh Buice partners with and promotes the pervert, heretic, wolf in G3 sheep’s clothing who teaches his fictional niece and vicariously every other young Christian woman that their potential suitor, “should be aggressive enough and well endowed enough to satisfy you sexually;” who boldly, repeatedly, and unapologetically demeans women with ugly, sexualized slurs, like “twinkies in tight tops…waifs with manga eyes…easy lay…lumberjack dykes…harridans, termagants, harpies, crones…small breasted biddies…[and] just a couple of cunts;” who calls Catholics “brothers;” and who says one of Satan’s chief antichrist Catholic apologists (G.K. Chesterton) is a genuinely saved Christian brother and now in Heaven. Josh Buice cancels/blocks the pastor exposing the pervert, heretic, wolf in G3 sheep’s clothing. All Josh Buice had to do was to play the man he calls others to be; to take his own Biblical counsel; and to call out, expose, and separate from false teachers, heretics, and perverts in his own circle of G3 friends and ministry partners for the protection of Christ’s Church and the rescuing of 1.3 billion perishing Catholic souls. In a text conversation with Josh regarding his compromise and hypocrisy with Doug Wilson, I repeatedly exhorted him to bring the needed reformation to the G3 Conference, to protect Christ’s Church, to stand against perversion and heresy…and not to force me to do it for him.
As I said in my opening paragraph. It’s October! It’s time for our Semper Reformanda conviction rubber to meet the road. Love for Christ, for His Church, for 1.3 billion perishing Roman Catholics, and for compromised and hypocritical pastors and Christian leaders requires #SemperReformanda to be more than a Twitter hashtag, more than a point in a Reformation Day sermon, and more than mere words on a page in a history or theology book. It’s time for many Reformed and Evangelical pastors, leaders, and professing Christians to get to reforming or to get a new name. If you’re not actively reforming through the clear declaration and defense of the Gospel…you’re not really Reformed or Evangelical. If you aren’t willing to lovingly expose the soul-damning, Satanic evil of Roman Catholicism and call real Catholics to really repent and really believe the real Gospel…you’re not really Reformed or Evangelical. If you partner with, provide sheep’s clothing to, feed, help, and refuse to call out and expose perverted wolves in sheep’s clothing that walked boldly into our midst with G3 Conference tags on…you’re not really Reformed or Evangelical…you’re not really qualified to exhort men to be manly, or to have backbone, or to demand that men repent for “slandering” your stalwart ministry…you’re actually a compromising hypocrite who should repent publicly.
I’m praying that Josh Buice preaches a pivotal Reformation Day sermon of repentance tomorrow in which he man’s up, shows more backbone than it takes to call out Joyce Meyer or Beth Moore, and calls out the perverted counter-reforming wolf that he helped bring into our midst with a G3 Conference name tag hanging around his furry neck. I’m praying Josh Buice’s elder board, the men who sit on the G3 Ministries’ board, and the men who fill the G3 Conference’s pulpit will follow Buice’s Biblical counsel to not feed, not help, but rather call out, expose, and separate from obvious wolves…and not follow his unconscionable example of partnering with, feeding, and giving dangerous wolves G3 Ministries sheep’s clothing to help them devour the sheep of the Lord’s fold. I’m praying Costi Hinn will pick up his pastoral rod and staff once more and do some righteous verbal reformation violence to the wolf that publicly beguiled him and any men that facilitated it. I’m praying that more men with Biblical moral and Gospel clarity who do not “lack manliness, backbone, and [refuse] to violate God’s Word” will stand up and speak up in both the spirit and embodiment of Semper Reformanda. I’ll give C.H. Spurgeon the final word of admonishment.
