Someone explain to me how the Western nuclear family model is inherently Christian and biblical?
Seeing lots of Evangelicals condemn the BLM organization on the grounds that they work to disrupt this model...

But there seem to be plenty of good examples in Scripture that don’t adhere to this model of the nuclear family:
Jacob stealing the firstborn birthright and his father’s blessing, then promptly running away.
Moses being given up by his mother and adopted into Pharaoh’s family

Ruth travelling around with her mother in-law and ending up seducing her way into a second marriage.
Samuel literally being given up by his mom so he can work as a priest’s assistant, basically.
Mary gets pregnant by God extra-maritally, Joseph presumably still raises the kid.

Not to mention all the polygamy!
This nuclear-family-as-biblical narrative seems to be largely fabricated by white patriarchy as a means to ostracize and oppress social deviants.
And in this case, to provide a reason to not support the BLM organization.

And even if you ~don’t~ agree with all the tenets of BLM, at least demonstrate some critical thinking skills and nuance your views?
You can disagree with some aspects but still support the justice movement as a whole.

Same people who were like “Trump isn’t perfect but I’ll still vote for him” don’t seem to be capable of that same logic with anything else.
So instead they’ll just invent narratives of how BLM is against everything good and holy to conceal their white supremacy.

And again, why would you condemn a group that is doing the work of pursuing justice and not offer any viable alternative? Might it be because you don’t actually care about justice?

TLDR;
The Western nuclear family model is not inherently Christian or biblical, and is only used as a tool of white supremacy and patriarchy to dismantle those organizations that would help bring about justice.
