A video posted by Rev. Dr. Caleb J. Lines, senior minister of the University Christian Church in San Diego, is getting attention for his refutation of conservative policy preferences that right-wingers often tout as being based on the teachings of Jesus Christ.
Lines discussed various issues, including termination of pregnancies, “cancel culture” (the Bible, according to Lines, says that people should accept correction from others), and gender. On that last one, he says that the Bible says that gender identity is secondary to identity as a Christian, so focusing on performing masculinity, as many on the right do, is not something that the Bible requires of followers.
