Direct Answer Bercot’s examples suggest that when “the world dictates their agenda,” Christians become selective—passionate about the sins their political tribe condemns and quiet about the sins their tribe excuses. A disciple can test this by asking whether their concerns mirror party talking points and whether they are willing to address issues that would make their own side uncomfortable.

Support from Transcript:

• He says peace-and-justice Christians “let the world dictate their agenda.”
• Example: they oppose “capital punishment” that kills “a hundred or so Americans,” yet are “totally silent about abortion” killing “more than a million Americans every year.”
• Example: they protest “discrimination against women,” but are “quite mute” about discrimination against men.
• Example: they speak against persecution of “left-wing revolutionaries,” but “rarely say anything” about persecution of Christians in “leftist dictatorships.”
• He ties this to alignment: they align with “the liberal left,” which is still “the world.”
• He also says they choose what is “politically correct” in their circles.
