And you thought all the crazy, hardcore fundamentalist Christians lived in the red states of the USA?!

Nope.

Introducing Pastor Tom Foord — the young pastor from Australia who leads the ironically named Hope Reformed Baptist Church. Yes, Pastor Tom offers hope to the world by reminding the world that it is depraved, wicked, and hopelessly lost and perishing, apart from a small group known as “the elect” who God predestined before the creation of the world to be “saved.”

So much hope in that message, isn’t there?

Occasionally, Pastor Tom runs Q&A forums, which he helpfully posts on YouTube. I think he does this to protect his flock from those wicked liberal Christians with their woke theology, keeping them firmly inside the echo chamber of reformed theology.

I had a friend who deeply objected to one of Pastor Tom’s YouTube Q&A answers, so he posted his reasonable (and well-researched) objections to Pastor Tom’s position.

And Pastor Tom deleted it.

So, my friend reposted his objections.
