Did Russell Moore just call many Southern Baptists theological liberals?

Russell Moore and the ERLC are at it again—attacking good Southern Baptists. As the Fourth of July approaches, the ERLC tweeted out a typical Russell Moore special—sharp rhetoric directed at anyone who disagrees with him. In this case, it involves 2 Chronicles 7:14. Many Southern Baptists believe 2 Chronicles can be interpreted to apply to God’s people today, but not Russell Moore. For him, to believe that is “theological liberalism.”

The ERLC tweeted, “”2 Chronicles 7:14 isn’t talking about America or national identity or some generic sense of ‘revival.’ To apply the verse this way is, whatever one’s political ideology, theological liberalism.
