Perhaps the most Anti-Christian to run for office since Pete Buttigieg is Raphael Warnock who is an avowed false teacher running for US Senate in Georgia. Whereas, Pete Buttigieg existed to troll Christianity with a homosexual Episcopalian, Raphael Warnock’s role has far more to do with being seen as a Marxist “Christian.” This surpasses Joe Biden’s “profound” Catholic faith.
I am a pro-choice pastor.

@TonyDungy see the do exist. Most in private. I like that he makes it public. https://t.co/mNyASWx7Dh

But Tony Dungy took issue with Raphael Warnock’s brazen display of apostasy, after Pronouns In Bio felt the need to tag him. It would turn out, Tony Dungy recognizes the obvious contradiction and calls into question Raphael Warnock’s Christianity. Tony Dungy was the longtime NFL coach of the Indianapolis Colts and winner of Superbowl XLI.
Rev Warner may be a pastor. My question would be “Is he a Christian?” That is, does he follow the teachings of Jesus and does he believe that the Bible is the absolute word of God? https://t.co/cabHEGB2XX

Tony Dungy is publicly practicing a level of discernment and calling out Raphael Warnock. And theological liberals or Christians in name only took issue with that.
I didn’t ask where he served. I asked if he follows the teachings of Jesus and if he believes the Bible absolutely—that it is 100% accurate and is truly the word of God.

It’s worth noting that Warnock’s credentials actually hurt him here by showing that he preached at two apostate churches. But this argument does not sway Dungy.
I’m not judging anyone. I’m just asking two questions. The answers to those two questions will tell me a lot. No interpretations necessary. Just yes or no answers.

Tony Dungy’s scope is rather limited. In the replies, Tony Dungy makes it clear that he is talking specifically about Warnock’s demonstrable apostasy, not his merits as a Senate candidate. However his scope in calling out Warnock is to affirm the inerrancy and authority of Scripture.
A Christian is someone who believes Jesus is the son of God and that He died on the cross for our sins. They follow God’s teachings and use the word of God to make all their decisions. I don’t know how many people in the world that applies to but there are many.

Tony Dungy is right here, and while his tweet was not nearly as unambiguous as mine, Tony Dungy does use his large platform to state that being a Christian means you have to believe and follow the Bible. And while some statements by Dungy leave me scratching my head about his beliefs, challenging the left’s attempt to merge their political beliefs with Christianity takes a lot of courage that we do not see out of other supposed Christian celebrities, like Chris Pratt, Justin Bieber, Drew Brees. In this political climate, it takes far more courage for Tony Dungy to call out Raphael Warnock than it does for Colin Kaepernick to take a knee.
