Last year, The Dissenter reported on a proposed partnership between the Southern Baptist Convention’s North American Mission Board (NAMB) and a heretical “evangelism” ministry called He Gets Us. He Gets Us, as we demonstrated, is not only a gay-affirming ministry that will help you find a pro-LGBTQ church, but it also preaches a false gospel of inclusivism. He Gets Us is essentially a PR campaign for Jesus that attempts to make Jesus more palatable to the world.
NAMB, which is led by Kevin Ezell, has a historical pattern of partnering with organizations without doing his due diligence. For example, NAMB is still in partnership with a major megachurch in Florida that is regularly baptizing openly practicing and unrepentant homosexuals to plant churches. NAMB also regularly plants churches with women pastors in opposition to the SBC’s statement of faith.
Thankfully, after that was exposed and brought to light, Ezell decided to sever official ties with He Gets Us and move on. However, this only begs the question: what on earth would make Ezell want to partner with such an insidious organization, to begin with?
All of this was proven in their latest commercial which aired during the Super Bowl last night—the He Gets Us campaign, which Ed Stetzer is highly involved in, isn’t even hiding it anymore. The commercial depicts Jesus washing the feet of homosexuals, people at abortion clinics, and every other sin, and then ends with the caption, “Jesus Didn’t Teach Hate, He Washed Feet.” W
Of course, this is completely and totally stupid and completely twists the entire meaning of Jesus washing feet. When Jesus washed feet, it was illustrative of the internal cleansing he does to people He would save on the cross. He doesn’t just wash people and allow them to continue in sin—he cleanses them from their sin and calls them to “go and sin no more.” This commercial, like every other left-wing Bible-twisting propaganda, paints Jesus as an antinomian who doesn’t care if you continue in sin. The most hateful thing you can do is lead sinners to believe that they are perfectly fine and right with God despite their continued unrepentant sin.
The Southern Baptist Convention, which is unfortunately led by hundreds of men just like Kevin Ezell—gullible to embrace secular movements while demonstrating zero discernment—has been enthralled with social justice propaganda since it was normalized in the denomination through Russell Moore’s Ethics and Religious Liberty Commission (ERLC). Through sinister players like Moore, many Southern Baptist pastors and leaders have now bought into much of the political left’s social propaganda.
And this is exactly why He Gets Us is so appealing to many mainstream Evangelicals like Kevin Ezell—He Gets Us is nothing more than a left-wing propaganda movement designed to brainwash Christians and move the church’s stance on social issues away from a biblical worldview. This ad below from He Gets Us, which is set to be played during the Superbowl this year, is a perfect illustration. By cloaking the birth of Jesus into a false narrative that “Jesus was a refugee,” He Gets Us cleverly makes an emotional appeal to Christians by comparing it to the thousands of illegal aliens flooding our borders daily.

This was an in your face FU to Christians disguised as an “inclusive” ad. The millions it cost could have fed a lot of struggling families
Matthew 25: 40-45
Pretty clear.
They spent millions on a commercial just to make Christians look bad. I understand the foot washing part but outside of the context it comes off as creepy.
I had been wondering if these ads were from Sojourners, the ultra-left wing of the “evangelical” Christians. Turns out there is a connection.

Jesus went to synagogue all of His life. The Torah is His Living Word. The Torah clearly spells out the abominations that the modern day heretical churches are calling love. Love is love is a theme for the apostate church to cling to so they can affirm sin as natural and part of being a Christian instead of teaching the abhorrence of sin. Jesus clearly would be labeled a hater if they asked Him His view on homosexuality and other issues of today. Jesus washing feet was to demonstrate the humble act of being a servant to sinful mankind to point them to the salvation of the Living God. He never once promoted sinful lifestyles. Yo have to crack open a Bible to understand Jesus. You have to start with Genesis and end with The Revelation. If you want to understand Jesus you cannot leave out the teachings of the Torah.
Raises an interesting question.
What if Mother Mary had decided to have an abortion?
Could Jesus still claim that he died for all our sins?
Pragmatically, most Messiahs would choose a drug induced early term abortion before choosing a flogging and a six hour Crucifixion.
I thought that commercial was an oddball one (like so very many ones nowadays) for toe foot fungus relief of some sort, until the very end.
Those ads were all over like crap on YouTube months ago.
Libelous insinuation that Christians "teach hate."
[...] He Washed Feet.”
Yeah, that's really all that Jesus did. That was really the essence of His mission here on Earth: To wash feet.
Not to instruct (also by example). Not to heal the sick, etc. To wash feet.
Commercial is basically telling Christians to shut up about codes of conduct and limit themselves to foot care.
Regards,
The Torah is the law. The Pharisees and Sadducees had long ago perverted the law to their own purposes. They were wrong on the food laws, which were never part of Torah. They changed the Calendar, and if they had the Ark of the Covenant, they would have died if they touched it.
The remission of sin happened to these Jews when the Sacrifice was performed. They could never understand that it was a forerunner of Christ, and not to be continued forever.
Christ did not nail the Torah to the Cross, it is still in force. Sin is transgressing The Law. It still is, but Christians have remission of sins by Christs sacrifice.
As a man on Earth, I cannot see how being full of Pride for your behavior as a homo-trans-sexual can let you participate in it. You can make a best effort to cease sinning, be baptized and repent, you will be forgiven. If you are full of Pride in “who you are as a deviant”, you haven’t repented, and it seems to me that you have a very slim chance of redemption.
Change it to Yahweh or Allah Gets Us and run the same add.
Shows that even most of those that say they are “disgusted” by such behavior really are not. If they were, tens of millions less viewers would have tuned in. I haven’t watched it in 30 years and don’t miss it at all.
Sounds a lot like the Jesuits, Jorge Bergoglio and Jimmy Martin.
Affirming the behaviors? No. Affirming that He loves them, the sinners He died to redeem, if they repent and accept Him.
