• the Bible is not the inerrant Word of God
• even if Jesus wasn’t God, He was still a good teacher
• hell is not real
• we need to “decolonize” our faith (saying Christianity is too “white”)
• God doesn’t judge/have wrath
• pro-abortion
• gay-affirming churches
• there are more than two genders (or that someone can change their gender)
