That's incredibly disappointing.

The "doctrine" of the all-sufficiency of the Scriptures (which is not taught by Scripture) leads to all sorts of illogical, unreasonable and even ungodly practices. Nor does anyone actually believe it. They only enforce it where there is a culture-war point to be made.

"Biblical" counseling - to the exclusion of all other forms of mental health treatment - where every mental health issue is a "heart problem" (i.e. sin), is right in line with the worldview of the neo-fundamentalists who have taken over SBC.

Few details are showing that it was actually based upon a potential "rift/disagreement" between two faculty members, one being an extremely cocky one. I am giving SBTS some doubt for now until more facts are revealed. I find Mohler not as insane as the other ones. SBTS is a powerful seminary, even more powerful now after the whole ***show that happened at SWBTS in Texas with Dilday, which is kind of like this situation in some cases tbh.

Some articles on the situation: http://thewartburgwatch.com/2017/09/13/h...fires-him/
https://spiritualsoundingboard.com/2017/...c-johnson/ http://thewartburgwatch.com/2017/09/15/a...on-ruckus/ A quote from the last one: "Don't think for a second that Lambert manipulated Mohler into firing Johnson. Mohler calls the shots on that campus. Heath knows where his bread is buttered and did what the boss man wanted. Mohler wanted Johnson out ten years ago. That's why he hired Stuart Scott. However, Scott failed get a PhD. SACS would not maintain SBTS' accreditation if they forced Johnson out wrongfully and promoted a person without a PhD into department chair. Mohler began to hint toward accepting that, but the trustees were not about to let the flagship seminary of the SBC become unaccredited. They actually gave Johnson the endowed chair at this time. Mohler gave up on Scott and fingered Lambert for the job. Lambert started getting publicity in Towers and at conferences, and gave Mohler him a job on campus. When Lambert was ready, Mohler revoked tenure and waited a couple more years to give plausible deniability to the scheme. Nobody who still wants to maintain ties to that institution will dare say it. That's why they blame Heath Lambert. Not that Lambert is innocent, but the price of being golden child is that he can be made scapegoat in an instant if Mohler needs to do so. As payoff, Lambert will likely get the endowed chair and a raise unless there is some string attached to the money."
