Fundamentalism is s as greater threat to the gospel than CRT for a number of reasons. Here’s two:

1. Fundamentalism hides behind what Jesus did and ignores what Jesus said

2. Fundamentalism pits Jesus against Paul and has created a false dichotomy for Christian living 1/
Fundamentalism will say, “Preach the gospel!” But will ignore the ethical command to love even your enemies. So they think that bcuz they preach Christ crucified that they are fulfilling the Great Commission. When in reality they “neglect the weightier matters of the Law.” 2/
Fundamentalism will also put Jesus against Paul. Jesus taught us the ethic of our faith, love. Paul taught us the theology of our faith, Justification etc. They look at who Jesus is and what he did, but they look to Paul on how to live. Ignoring, his appeal to love as the way 3/
Fundamentalist use sound doctrine as the mark of genuine conversion. Despite the fact that Jesus said “These ppl honor me with their lips but their hearts are from me.” John said, “You cannot love God whom you haven’t seen, if you don’t love your brother whom you have seen.” 4/
Fundamentalist dismiss the sins of their theological forefathers as “men of their times,” just like the Pharisees whose fathers killed the prophets. CRT doesn’t claim to be applying salvation. It boasts no faith in Jesus. Even if you hate it, it never claims to be of God 5/
But Fundamentalism does, and has deceived millions and continues to do so to this day. Claiming Theological Conservativism yet they happily boast of Cultural Combativeness. But, that is not who Jesus was, or who he says we should be

I’ve been hearing a lot of ppl call what’s happening now the Neo-Civil Rights movement. I’ve heard it called the Cultural Marxist/Neo-Bolshevik Movement. I’ve heard it called a bunch of other things, a mixture of sorts, and I’m left to wonder, is that what is really happening? 1/
I think there is a significant misdiagnosis of what’s going on and that’s contributing to a lot of the confusion. What we’re seeing is definitely something new but this is not a new civil rights movement. It’s something much deeper 2/
We are in the Equal Psychological Rights Movement (EPRM). And in this movement you have ppl who want their psychological issues to be seen as normal, and given rights. Not legally per se’, but that my mental health has a right to exist and death to anyone who says it doesn’t 3/

1/Quite a few ppl asked questions that I didn’t get to answer on my “How did we get here” thread I posted last week. By “here,” I mean the public vitriol within the church over the issue of race and justice. I want to address a deeper reason for what happened, starting from ‘08.
2/At T4G ‘08 Thabiti, the only black pastor in the speaking group, gave a sermon on the issue of race. But it wasn’t a white privilege sermon. In fact, he taught that race, as we knew it at that time, was not a biblical concept. Ethnicity was the point of Genesis 10, not race.
3/And that race has been used sinfully to create division when, biblically speaking, there is only 1 race. The human race. That audience had 7,000 white pastors in it. Many applauded his perspective. But a lot of black dudes that were there didn’t. They misunderstood his point.

1/ With all the vitriol going back and forth between ideologies it can be easy to forget how we got here. I remember when everyone from Johnny Mac to Thabiti to Voddie Baucham to John Piper were all relatively friendly. People weren’t thinking of power structures at all.
2/ But there was a way to do things, a way to talk about things, a way to emphasize things, essentially a way to apply the gospel. It wasn’t bad. It was just that unity got confused with uniformity. When 9/11 happened, the country shifted from racism to terrorism.
3/ The emphasis changed, and for a while it really seemed like we were all Americans. The enemy was Bin Laden etc. Not police as much. Not inner city youth as much. In the church, partly due to Christian Rap, black ppl, young adults mostly, started going to reformed churches.
