Ligon Duncan recently appeared on Room for Nuance for an interview discussing theonomy, the Moscow Mood, and other issues. In the interview, Duncan would score a major goal on himself, as well as deny the existence of Big Eva.
Duncan scoffs at the idea of Big Eva, claiming that there is no Evangelical industrial complex. Duncan erroneously claims that those who attack The Gospel Coalition have considerably larger platforms. Whether this is a reference to John MacArthur or Doug Wilson, both of whom are big enough to be Big Eva is unclear. However, Ligon Duncan is wrong in diminishing the size of The Gospel Coalition, ranked 57th according to Similar Web in the entire Faith and Beliefs category. So this amounts to a shameless gaslight whether Ligon Duncan was knowingly lying or not.
Attacking Based Christians
Ligon Duncan eventually claims that Christians who support mockery as a tactic would attack Jesus for being weak.
If some of these folks had been around, they would have been going yay John the Baptist! Jesus you’re a weasel. Whoa, John is preaching truth to power. Why don’t you come out and say why don’t you go up to and say, ‘Herod you fox!’
This was a massive own goal on Duncan’s part as Jesus is the one who called Herod a fox.
31 Just at that time some Pharisees approached, saying to Him, “Go away, leave here, for Herod wants to kill You.” 32 And He said to them, “Go and tell that fox, ‘Behold, I cast out demons and perform cures today and tomorrow, and the third day I reach My goal.’ 33 Nevertheless I must journey on today and tomorrow and the next day; for it cannot be that a prophet would perish outside of Jerusalem.
Luke 13:31-33 NASB1995
Duncan is a seminary president, by the way.
