While the lawsuit was thrown out due to statute of limitations, Tchividjian said that unlike many of those connected to TGC who considered Mahaney a friend and claimed that he had "been the object of libel and even a Javert-like obsession by some," he saw the situation differently. In his eyes, given that Mahaney's brother-in-law and fellow former pastor at Covenant Life Church had confessed to knowing about sex abuse claims and withholding that information from police last week, the SGM pastor was guilty.
"Give me a break. These people, they're family. Of course he knew," Tchividjian told The Christian Post. "C. J. was, for many years, the micro-managing head of the organization and nothing happened under the umbrella of Sovereign Grace that he wasn't made aware of, so for anyone to say, 'Well he didn't know,' that's totally naive."
Tchividjian added that he was "pretty disturbed" when Don Carson, Kevin DeYoung, and Justin Taylor published a statement on TGC website in May 2013 which defended Mahaney, saying that it looked "like the good-old boys club covering their own."
"I thought it was premature. I thought it was insensitive. I communicated with the guys who wrote this statement that I was disappointed, that I thought it was unwise and premature and that they needed to clarify that their statement was not a statement from The Gospel Coalition, per se, but was their own personal statement," Tchividjian explained.
"There were some of us on the coalition, or who were associated with it, who didn't want to be associated with their defense of C. J.," he continued. "I've just been sort of disgusted by the whole thing."
End quote.
It is a good ole boys' club. So is Together For the "Gospel" as is just about all of the coalitions, conferences, non-denom denoms, etc. And the disgusting thing is that everyone circles around each other to keep that fake unity facade going, instead of having integrity and loyalty to Christ and His sheep. How many people will continue to excuse Mahaney, Harris, and all of them over there by saying "well who's perfect?" They have been great vessels of God! Who are we to reject men who have done some great good?" Folks, listen. This issue is about covering up homosexual (sodomy) lust and abuse on little boys, and refusing to listen to those who were victims, UNTIL AFTER the jury's verdict! The elitists think they are the anointed of God and whom NO ONE should DARE question, challenge, or accuse. After all, they are theologians, pastors, authors, and conference speakers. This should ENRAGE the biblical Christian.
